TPiR Recap - 3/3/2011

I honestly did not expect the stemware to cost as much as it did.

[Wayoshi]

No, Plinko has an exception in every set of rules except the official ones.

This is just silly...all games should be able to be "won" by definition with odds that aren't astronomical.

I knew the minute they rolled that Chevy Cruze out on Lucky Seven that the price was going to be evil, it was the last time they did it.

This is just silly...all games should be able to be "won" by definition with odds that aren't astronomical.

There are set rules for this kind of thing that don't have anything to do with any specific game.  Car games are won if the car is won; cash games are won if the cash prize announced at the beginning is won; other games are won if the main prize or prizes are won.  Plinko doesn't need to have its own set of rules just because it's Plinko.

Drew forgot to mention that second 1 on the board in Money Game, which turned out to be in the car.  Any chance of a technical win here?

Money Game wasn't played on this episode, Any Number was. And yeah, they should have awarded a tech win because of Drew failing to mention that there was another 1 on the board.

[JohnHolder]

And yeah, they should have awarded a tech win because of Drew failing to mention that there was another 1 on the board.

After the 1 at the front of the truck price was revealed, he told the contestant that there's one of each number and each number would be crossed off as she called it. There were ten spaces remaining on the board and ten numbers, including 1, not crossed off at the beginning of the game. So it was pretty clear that one of the remaining spaces took a 1. I don't think Drew's lack of specificity is enough to award a tech win.

[clemsonfight]

I don't agree. Since it shows the available numbers now and the 1 was not crossed off so common sense would say that it was still there.

[MrPlinko]

Correct!  Sorry about that.  The game in question was ANY NUMBER.

I understand why it says Stat loss now, but I guess I only feel like nitpicking at it because it sounds kinda glass half-empty to me. To me, since a lot of people basically counted it as a win even though its a loss, something like "Unofficial Win" just sounds a little less negative. But like I said, it's a nitpick.

Lucky 7 was not won.

[Macsen]

When I went through to conform this recap to my Plinko TECH LOSS notation, I noticed the recap had the errant extra *WIN* marker on Lucky $even. Which several people mentioned.


I forgot to take care of it when I did the edit. The funny thing is, when I posted the update, it was gone.


I honestly don't know what happened. Just making note of that.
