Good days make Mimi very angry. Very angry indeed. And that means the quality of the entertainment and refreshment at the First Four Midday Revue declines even further. But the best way to make her feel better is a guaranteed customer. And that's exactly what she will get today. Denise and Christian have been at the orange and green podiums, respectively, since minute one. It's not that they've had terrible bids, just bad luck. Their bad luck is about to drive one, or both, of them to the Revue, with no last bid advantage to save them...

Found a couple more to shift nomenclature on.

[tpirfan28]

Lineup was good, and that's about it.

Temptation was by far the low point.  They used the right first cue when Drew revealed the first digit, then proceeded to play the same cue FOUR more times, from the start every time.  Crappy cue to boot.

[Off_trak]

Well now, I'm curious... was it a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia; or a trip to Vancouver, Washington?... The description seemed deliberately vague, and if the contestant had been even vaguely aware, she could have had a technical win on her hands.

Good show, regardless.. the flow seemed solid compared to a few shows from last week. I had an impression from a couple of the shows last week, that cast and crew seemed "tired".

Definitely noticed that too. I wonder what happened.

So when's the last time the 20-30-40 would have resulted in a loss in Cliffhangers?  Props to my man for sticking it to Mike!

I assume Vancouver, British Columbia, since its more popular.

[Off_trak]

That is my assumption too, of course. However, generally the script copy states either "Vancouver, British Columbia" or "Vancouver, Canada". Had she stated, after she lost; that she thought it was the state of Washington, they most likely would have to give her the prize.

I'm just a little more geographically aware than she was, which is why I brought it up.

I lost a little TPIR street cred with my lunch-time group when 20-30-40 lost today

[Macsen]

My recap.

[Wayoshi]

It's days like these that make it so obvious they're super-protective on cars.

[elskunkoman]

Not too bad of a show today. How was Flip Flop won with the bad setup? Cliff Hangers and Danger Price were easy. But in Temptation i would tried to go for the car because thopse gifts weren't special enough for me.

[Macsen]

I assume Vancouver, British Columbia, since its more popular.

I also don't think there's a harbor in Vancouver, Washington.

[BigJon]

Today's Temptation
Cue Fail x 3 (The first one was fine even though i knew something was up when the starting music ended when prize #1 was showing)..

[Cartboy]

Tempation:  Good thing Christy took the gifts! 
Cliff Hangers:  Nice job!
Danger Price:  Good job!   It seemed obvious which prize had the danger price when it was down to the bikes & the computer.

Pretty good start to the week, IMHO.

[goldroadfanatic]

That ATV really had no business being in Temptation.  I know that the gifts were an okay amount, at about 38-39% of the car's ARP, but all the other gifts seemed puny compared to a $7,799 ATV.  Also, the ATV was so freakin' huge, it nearly completely concealed Manuela.  All gifts in Temptation should have nearly equal levels of lavishness.
