Selena got out just in time to avoid the Revue, but the bad entertainment may be coming to the stage tonight. A familiar song--and odor--is now permeating the Bob Barker Studio. It's the unusual melody of that skunk singing Chevalier. This has just happened all too many times this year. Please, won't somebody think of the prizes...

There's really no need to post a recap today, it was a total skunkout.

The end.

IT'S OFFICAL
THIS EPISODE SUCKS

[SteveGavazzi]

You know, it's possible to have everything lost on an episode and still come out with a very enjoyable show.

Today, it didn't really happen.

I do like the new graphics for Gas Money, though.

[vdw58]

This is the fifth time since February 23, 2006 that all six pricing games weren't won and both showcases weren't won either. Also, today's overall winnings was lower than 2/23/06's overall winnings.

Great how many more El Skunkos or let along double Overbids we gonna get until Fingers the Jackass will be Happy?

EL SKUNKO V: THE FAILURE STRIKES BACK

[GameShowKid]

I was again hoping for Pass The Buck when the sports car was revealed. My hope was dashed.


Something about Lester rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it was his apparent overconfidence. Like many others, I was quite sure he'd overbid on his showcase.


That was a very awkward goodbye. How often is the host of a game show not in the shot when he signs off? A shot of the models?? Why?

EL SKUNKO V: THE FAILURE STRIKES BACK

I think a more appropriate title would be..
El Skunko V: The Skunks Strike Back...Repeatedly

Now that I think about it, wouldn't a mind clearing device be appropriate for these sorts of days?

I was again hoping for Pass The Buck when the sports car was revealed. My hope was dashed.

Not when Hi Lo was played the game before.

[Otm Shank]

Another lengthy between-reveals chat reveals the Double Overbid. Please, make it stop.

There was probably an equal amount of post-mortem discussion which lead to the choppily edited signoff.

Cover Up seemed to be set up for The First-Digit Strategy.™ The second digit had only one legitimate choice, so there would be no gamble by choosing 3 for the first digit.

0 for 6 in the games yet again and another DOB make for an ugly start to the week.

0 for 6 in the games yet again and another DOB make for an ugly start to the week.

In fact what is the record for the most double overbids for a single season and how many we have right now as of today

In fact what is the record for the most double overbids for a single season and how many we have right now as of today

I think today's double overbid is the 12th of the year. I'm not sure what the record is for a season.

[GameShowKid]

Not when Hi Lo was played the game before.

Very good point. Thanks. I should have thought of that. A guy can hope though.
