Epic lineup win. If there's one thing to be positive about this season, the lineups have been much better (and the setups much fairer).

Flip Flop was totally set up for a win. I don't know how it was lost.

It's a shame Patricia lost Let 'em Roll. At least she was in good spirits when she lost.

Major, major cue failure during Make Your Move. It just doesn't feel right without 210A...

When was the last time someone won Range Game by a single dollar?

OVERALL: 3/5.

Major, major cue failure during Make Your Move. It just doesn't feel right without 210A...

The thing is, 210A was used on its second playing aired last week (which taped later than this one, I think.) So hopefully, this was something Stan tried out once, realized it sucked, and then went back to 210A.

[elskunkoman]

Flip Flop: Well this was an easy setup to be won but it wasn't.
Let Em Roll: Tough luck
Make your move: Another easy setup to be lost
Spree: Nice win
Pathfinder: You shoulda picked the 4 from the beginning otherwise it was an almost wipeout
Rangey: Nice win after being so close to losing!  

We shoulda had a 4 for 6 show today. Also i woulda made pathfinder 4th and spree 5th if i was to do the setups.

We got in line at 4:30 AM and this time we received OAP Passes 51 and 52. We didn’t really see anyone from the previous days tapings which sort of surprised me.  We met a lady in line who was voted “Most Likely to be on TPIR” in her yearbook and she brought that along as proof.  That was very neat and both Stan and his assistant had that “No way” moment.  I thought she would get picked but she did not.  For this taping, we sat in the fourth row, center section!  I was wearing my Elon t-shirt and my sister was right next to me in a pink shirt.  We should have some good face time on TV.  At one point in the show, I was the only person standing in my area, but I’m not sure if that was on TV or not.
Neither of us got called down.  My sister and I got split during the interviews – Stan did not recognize my sister, but he recognized me.  He asked me what my favorite part of the show was from the day before, and I told him Cliffhangers.  We bantered about the fact that I would have won (I didn’t get to give him specifics on that), but I would have only moved 7 steps. 
As I said, we had great seats.  Let ‘Em Roll was hidden for the first two segments (I thought it was going to be played first, but it was second) – I could see just a little bit of it that I recognized it.  During the other show, they took a break between the first segment and second segment – today, they did not.  There was a longer stopdown before Pathfinder when all the producers met behind the Curtain – don’t know what was wrong.  There were a few people that I thought would get called that didn’t.  Also, Drew started to recap the Denmark showcase, and was told to start over, but I don’t remember what was wrong. 
I bid $28K on the first showcase and $20K on the second.  I didn’t really know what kind of car they were offering.

Well, back to a 2 for 6er. Still, nice to see Shopping Spree appear.

[Kev347]

Well, yet another great lineup. I was pretty surprised to see that Make Your Move got played twice in 7 shows. That being said, unfortunately today's show wasn't quite as good as yesterday's. The Pathfinder setup was just vicious (the SPs weren't that bad, but any setup that doesn't end on the edge, yet has a fake 0 on the edge, is unduly cruel) and getting only 1/2 GPs in Let 'em Roll for an Accent isn't much better. Was nice to see the close win in Range Game and nice to have fairly "normal" feeling one bids and prizes today, so the show in general was pretty solid. If every show could "feel" like this one did (although where in the world was cue 210A in Make Your Move?), and we got a few more wins, we'd be in good shape.

Timings:
Flip Flop (3.5)- 2:25
Let 'Em Roll (5.5)- 5:41
Make Your Move (4.5)- 4:29
Shopping Spree (4.5) - 4:18
Pathfinder (6) - 4:11
Range Game (4) - 3:33
Total time (28): 25:58

*********
this wasn't the 1st time cue 210A wasn't used on Make Your Move (my favorite game all-time).
Back when the game premiered back in 1989, the 210A cue wasn't used either...

<snip> ... and getting only 1/2 GPs in Let 'em Roll for an Accent isn't much better.

I'm confused by this.  The player got all of the grocery products correct in this game and rolled 3 times.

Oops, my bad. I was really out of sorts when watching that game. You're right.

[GameShowKid]

Good to see a few games for the first time this season. And I agree with what was posted about the Make Your Move music.

The show felt kind of weird to me though, right from the start. What was up with the audience members standing at the beginning (and not all at once), then at different times during the show (in groups), and then during the showcases? Then there were J.D.'s comments & vocal reactions, and the behavior of Patricia and Andrea (Patricia's seemed more sincere to me).

Oh well.

[goldroadfanatic]

It's a shame that Frank no longer posts here.  He would have been quite pleased to see the Pathfinder SP cards set up to his liking (green cards with white characters the choices and a white card with green characters for the ARP).

[SteveGavazzi]

Flip Flop probably should have been won.

I have no idea what anything Patricia said was.

Good on Drew for only partially bungling the explanation of Shopping Spree.  He still got far too descriptive, but at least he ended his explanation by saying to pick something expensive.

Yet again, Pathfinder was set up wrong.  I hope someone who understands this game starts setting it up after Fingers leaves.

Priscilla's Range Game win was incredible.

[Kyle]

Anyone notice at the very end of the show that Scott has a (not so) secret admirer?

[catdogwheel]

Flip Flop was totally set up for a win. I don't know how it was lost.

At least he knew of the $--98 rule for two motorcycles
