Always exciting to see a 3 Strikes win.

Random Facts: 3 Strikes is at 75% in wins this season, easily the best season for 3 Strikes. Also, this is the first foreign luxury car won in the game since Desert Storm. 

That is all...except: Aw, no GP game.  

EDIT: REALLY Random Fact: 3 Strikes has not been won when I wasn't watching the live feed. Something tells me I should stay home more often! 

[RCPlanes59]

SPOILER: The show was all like "**** the budget" today.

[GSB92]

Lineup:

3 Strikes: W

Flip Flop: L

Most Expensive: W

Double Prices: W

Punch A Bunch: L ($250)

Range Game for a Mazda: L


I can't believe 3 Strikes went 3-1 this season. That's truly amazing.

The other games were also good except for Punchy. They need to up those amounts on the board

I alway's disliked the Range Game being played for Cars, because it makes it look too hard.

Those trips and the boat on SC1 was sexed-up. All those cost over $43,000??

[Wayoshi]

This is where I'd usually go "OMG HOW IN THE WORLD WAS THIS WON AGAIN AND WHY WAS IT EVEN PLAYED", but I'll let others do that today.

What I do want to comment on is that Rangey was also for a car, 6th, on the last 3X day, 4/22. With ultimately 4 quick games (I didn't say quickie... but relatively fast) and Punchy rounding up today's lineup, Adam kinda failed to deliver, and he had been doing so good at 3X shows. Additionally, more than 2/3s up the scale on a $15530 car when you just offered the highest 3X car of the year, along with some sexed up showcases, did stick out weirdly. Money or A#, even if they were set on making either hard too, should have been coming for a more acceptable car. If it wasn't for the double spinoff we would have ended early today.

Also, I'll make a note, we had our best full week of the season at 15-15 (including Racey as a W, I hope this isn't debated along anyone). We last went 15-15 in mid-January of 2010. The last winning full week was mid-November 2008.

Couldn't they put that on your subchannel?

I honestly thought we saw the last of Three Strikes on the Earth Day show? I couldn't believe it! and the highest priced car in the few playings of it we've seen since '08 or so. The biggest win since that one dude won the Vette back then and breakdanced on the floor.

Most expensive? Really? 927 for the lowest, 6100 for the highest? That was insane!

[Wayoshi]

Oh yeah, ME... that did look really dumb. That grill really doesn't belong on the show.

[vadernader]

Those trips and the boat on SC1 was sexed-up. All those cost over $43,000??

That boat has been $25,000 for a while now....Vegas.com has always been $5,000-$6,000ish and Switzerland has NEVER been <$10K in a SC. I don't see the issue?

[3StrikesFan]

Yay 3 Strikes!!! And Another win to boot!

I'm really surprised that Golden Road wasn't played instead of 3 Strikes because it can be controlled more. If they really didn't want the Audi won, putting it in Golden Road might have achieved what they wanted. Maybe they wanted it won too, who knows?

The lineup kind of stunk today! I know with 3 Strikes in any lineup the rest of the games might suffer, but 4 quickie games seems a little silly. I don't mind a Money Game break but Money Game could have been played instead of Range Game. I know some consider Money a quickie, but I don't think so.

Most Expensive's prices were off the wall. A $6,000+ grill and then a $900+ tiki hut... bizarre!

I think a lineup like this could have been better, time-wise, I don't know:

Most Expensive / 3 Strikes / Pick A Pair / Double Prices / Punchboard / Money Game, Dice Game, or Card Game

I know Dice Game is another game the staff can't control, but I think its one of the quickest.

[Cartboy]

3 Strikes:  Great win!
Flip Flop:  Bummer!
Most Expensive, Double Prices:  Nice job!
Punch A Bunch:  Better than nothing.
Range Game:  I knew the range finder was stopped too soon.

Good end to the week, especially because 3 Strikes was won, IMHO.

You could recap the trial for us - just to stay in the habit of doing recaps!!

I'm really surprised that Golden Road wasn't played instead of 3 Strikes because it can be controlled more.

Or Triple Play with the right cars, the most due of the Big 3.

[3StrikesFan]

Or Triple Play with the right cars, the most due of the Big 3.

Yeah. But I don't think they'd put a $50,000+ Audi in Triple Play on daytime.

[Wayoshi]

Yeah. But I don't think they'd put a $50,000+ Audi in Triple Play on daytime.

Nor would be they so cheap as to put that Audi in Golden Road. I'm talking about if they wanted to play a Big 3 so soon again (and I am befuddled as to why this was the case), the proper choice would have been Triple Play, set up like last playing.
