Mega Lonestar failure today.

[sjd93]

Wow, what an absolutely pitiful show. I don't care if they're popular, Lonestar was bad. I don't just mean them being there was bad (which, of course, it was) but they genuinely had really crappy music. It annoyed me how we had to have three quickies and no SP game just so they could play 10-second snippets of bad music. One of the worst shows of the season.

Mega Lonestar failure today.

Well, I guess there won't be a lot a participation from you in this thread today.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the show came off.  Lonestar wasn't as obtrusive as they could've been and how awesome was their version of the theme?  They need to put that on iTunes or something.

$10,000 two days in a row ain't half bad either.  Drew has really showed me the past few weeks how much he enjoys doing this show.  And I can't say how happy I am about that.  When I know the host and contestants are having a great time, it just makes it so much more fun to watch.

[JoePlinko]

One of the worst shows of the season.

"Roger, this puts us at how many 'Worst shows of the season?'"

Can we get an eggcrate toteboard for this number?

[Macsen]

I disagree with sjd and Wayoshi's sentiments. I think the Lonestar addition was well-done. They pulled it off a lot better than the indie rock band earlier this season.

The only complaint is that Budget Mode has gotten ridiculous.

My recap. I am back from vacation, so I am working on the two recaps I have missed, including my first recap of the new pricing game, Rat Race.

[Wayoshi]

My sentence encapsulates the entire show, right?

[FrenchFan]

"Roger, this puts us at how many 'Worst shows of the season?'"

Can we get an eggcrate toteboard for this number?

A LED monitor would be more adequate (if you have more numbers, create a thinner font).

Even if one contestant won more than $40k in cash and prizes, Lonestar appearance was certainly costly and no doubt that they are the top winners on the show today.


Poor budget control, again.

[Hag]

I have nothing against Lonestar themselves, but TPIR dosen't need a "house band." Or at least it shouldn't.

[compdude512]

Well...as a fan of all genres of music and a fan of Lonestar throughout my childhood, I have to say that band just isn't the same without Rich McDonald as lead singer.  When I think of Lonestar, I hear Rich McDonald at the helm.  This Keith Urban lookalike that they have as lead singer now just isn't the same by any stretch of the imagination.  Maybe I'm just stuck in 1995 or something.

Just interested...how would they assume that someone could fit that large, box-shaped satellite radio interface into the dashboard of a Ford Focus?  An older Focus where the audio interface is square-shaped and near the top of the dash?  Yes.  A newer Focus? They've seriously overhauled the dash.  I'm pretty sure it would be impossible to install and use in that specific car.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah I did notice that. I knew I heard rumors McDonald had left, because the band doesn't sound the same. McDonald had the great voice.

As for my show review:

Cover Up: 18918...Ouch

One Right Price: Good job. El Cheapo Billiards table

Danger Price: Television is bad for your health.

Showcases: Meh, could have been way worse.

I'll give the episode a B-

I don't mind  Lonestar honestly.

[elskunkoman]

Well not too good of a show today either considering only 2 games won Pass the buck and danger price shoulda been won today. 

[Kirsten Vaccaro]

Today show was okay i didn't care for Lonestar at all & Drew Carey did a great job as host.

I give today show a B.

[weatherdan882002]

Cover Up: Another classic example of not messing up on purpose. Shame, I wanted him to win too.

One Right Price: I agreed with her, but only because I thought the pool table was more expensive than $2K.

Push Over: Nice. I thought it’d be slightly more expensive though.

Range Game: Bummer. I thought it’d be towards the higher end of the scale.

Pass the Buck: I thought #2 had the car. At least she got a big cash prize.

Danger Price: Well, he started off good, but went downhill quickly. The TV seemed to likely be the danger price.

Showcases: It was fairly evident that Julia was under Kendall was way over. Kendall was doubting her bid right from the start, and she should have changed it to something lower. I knew a party boat would be pricy and that combined with the trip definitely made for a price higher than $21K. At least she was only off by $5K, and because Kendall was over, it didn’t matter anyway.

On a scale of 1 to 5, today’s show gets a 3.

WAY too Much Lonestar.
