TPiR Recap - 4/1/2011 (April Fools' Price 2011)

[CROCODlLE]

Absolutely the best April Fool's Show ever in the history of the show. I was dying the entire show, I couldn't stop laughing!

Rachel crashing again was wonderful! Scott writing down the contestant bids was hilarious! Manuela opening up broken doors was supreme! But then... aw man, then Gwendolyn threw the fired marshmallow into the background. My friends and I were like, "Dude, she could catch the set on fire doing a gag like that."

AND THEN THE SET CAUGHT ON FIRE!!!!!!

We were actually scared for a second, but it was a controlled burned. I give the show MAD MAD MAD MAD PROPS for that. Rehearsing a controlled burn like that is VERY complex and very difficult, and they did it flawlessly! And it was probably the biggest, most hilarious prank ever pulled on the show!

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!!!! XD

Just one comment about the Steam Shower- I reckon if would've been better if one of the Beauties was in the shower instead of George.

The episode just re-aired in my area.

I think it was strange how Richard ripped Drew's jacket. Was this an accident, or did they tell him to do this?

I think it's likely they told all the contestants to "yank on Drew's trick sleeve" if they won their way up stage. I also think it's possible that they had it planned to rip later, but Richard "helped" them along.

Or maybe in the wonderful world of editing, they re-shot his entrance to the stage afterwards, having asked him to do it. Either way, it was clearly no accident.

During the re-airing in my area, IUFB/PG 3-6 were not re-aired because of the CBS Special Report on the final space shuttle launch, but I already saw them on the 4/1 airing anyway. At least I got to witness NASA history.

That was CBS, not your local station. The whole country got the space shuttle launch.

I know that, I meant to imply that it was in my area, as in my timezone.

Oh, okay. Yeah, the West Coast gets an uninterrupted show.

And I did see the episode already in its first run.  And I may be in the minority to say this, but I wasn't really too fond of it myself.

Although some FLorida stations had their own coverage during TPIR.

Another minor nit to pick: the 4th-6th IUFBs and PGs were preempted for the coverage of the space shuttle launch. I did see the 3rd IUFB/PG and 1st SCSD along with the rest of the East Coast. And no, I'm not complaining this time -- as bummed as a very small number of us may have been about the preemption, we were about to see NASA history in the making when they broke in today.

Which is a good thing, because IUFB #3 was one of the best of the season!

Oh, sorry! I was typing it in a rush. Yes, I did see up to SCSD #1, including the entire CBS.com ticket plug. XD.

Just one comment about the Steam Shower- I reckon if would've been better if one of the Beauties was in the shower instead of George.

Seeing George Gray in the steam shower with his suit on and getting wet really creeped me out - another pet peeve I had about the April Fool's episode.

However, it wouldn't creep me out if he was in his suit and out in the rain, though.

AND THEN THE SET CAUGHT ON FIRE!!!!!!

Makes me wonder how former model Phire Dawson would react if she saw that particular episode from her own home.
