FULL RECAP - TPiR 11/28/2006

Is it just me, or is the website being a bit stubborn today?

Another famous incident: the time when someone said a toy guitar was $850. He lost. Averil initially thought the answering machine was $250. Maybe it was in 1972, but not today. The audience guided her back to reality. Seems she liked 30 a lot. Now, Norman and Jennifer R. would love to have faced Hans, but they are still standing in the Row. One or both is headed to the "First Four" Breakfast Club any moment now. Who will it be? Norman, holding the last bid, has the best chance of escaping. 6   Corona Gardening Equipment (R) +Norman *501 PHILIP 351 Alexander 500 +Jennifer R. 450 ($634) STUPID BID Jennifer R. heads off to the clubhouse while Norman plays for a Ford Ranger XL (Std., Wheels, Cruise, Tilt, AC, Stereo)(B) Setup  3 1st Try [1][6] 8   5 7  7 2nd Try [1][6] 7   9   LOSS   ($16,130) 1 9  4 3 8 3  0 3 6 5 5  1     1 0 78  6 $ 2 4 0 1  9 SHOWDOWN #2 Spinoff $ 634 Norman 60 + 55 OV 795 Zachary 25 + 40 .65 .40 8,345 Averil 65 stay 0.00 .45 Through to Showcase Round SHOWCASE ROUND Jake has the honor.

Bidding Round #1- #71, Jennifer, AND #72, Jennifer! Two of them!

Bidding Round #2- #73, Stephanie!

Flip Flop- These are the kind of things that are YouTube-worthy.

Cliff Hangers- What a win! Although, I think it's kind of unfair that Bob didn't let Averil say $250, but in the cookie cutter incident with Jessica a year or so ago, he just let it go.

Showcase- Good for Averil. She deserved it.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY- Averil.

SHOW SUMMARY AND GRADE- Pretty fun show today. Wasn't overly spectacular, but it was fun... Grade: 3

[tpirfan28]

I didn't catch much today (watching while eating lunch with some people...), but I did see two parts...

FLIP FLOP:  Saw it, but didn't hear it, and I didn't know exactly what happened.  Thanks Heels!  But when I viewed the clip...look at the eerie coincidence...

CLIFFY:  I did hear the $250 bid...wowzers.   But she recovered nicely.

[heelsrule1988]

That's not eerie... it's just because that's probably the only other Flip Flop video on YouTube.

[goldroadfanatic]

Range Game-Interesting to have a game that is not usually played for a car be played for one, then paired with a regular car game in the same half.  Anyway, that was a pretty good win there.

Let 'em Roll-Welcome back!  I would have bailed out with the $4,500.

Swap Meet-Man, what a cheap chest!

SCSD #1&2-Is it just me or did the Big Wheel's "boop" sound lower-pitched than it should be?

Flip Flop-I would also have thought $4,571.  I don't know if the hitting the reveal on Zachary's part was accidental or not, but why he did it in the first place is a mystery.

Cliff Hangers-Why did she bid $250 on that answering machine?  Anyway, I thought she would lose sticking with $30 like that, but it worked out!

Cover Up-The third and fourth digits were tricky, as always.  I never would have guessed the 1 would repeat in the price.

Showcases-Man is that second showcase low in value!  Nice use of "On Franches Mountains" for the trip to Switzerland!  Here are my bids/differences:

Random trailer-$28,000/900
Random room/trip-$15,000/OVER.

[Franc]

What I DO find eerie, though ... the 2 guys kinda look alike. On that picture, at least, I haven't seen the show yet.

November 7, 2000

Honestly guys, today's Flip Flop had a lot more in common with this playing, as opposed to Season 33's contestant.  I'm not sure why you're all comparing him to Brenton, when he played it a lot more like Randolf did.

Speaking of Flip Flop, anyone else notice that it was flashing like mad when the game started?  I wonder if there was something wrong with it.  It didn't really look good.

Call me morbid, but I rather liked Jake's shirt !

Jennifer was completely likable, if not a bit odd.  Just kinda' went from excited one moment, to prim and proper the next.

And I do believe Bob may be right about the historic moment in Cliff Hangers.  I can't think of a time that's happened before, at least.  Anyone else?

[tpiradam]

Range Game - Fairly easy. It was nice to see it being played for a car.

Let 'em roll - She was so close. This is what I dont like about the game; yuo can have 4 cars and still end up with only $500 at the least.

Swap Meet - Easy

Flip Flop - Difficult. I wouldnt have known what to do.

Cliffhangers - ok playing but who buts a $250 answering machine?

Cover Up - Hard.

Showcases - Another $14,000 showcase. It was ince to see Averil win the showcase.

My Bids: $24,000/$4,000+ | $11,000/$3000+

[BRB_TheFireball]

PG #1:  Wow, Roger's been playing Range Game for cars quite a bit this season!

PG #2:  Hell, I would've taken the $4,500 instead of play for the ugly yellow Aveo.  And considering that she won $1,000 instead of the Aveo, can we still consider this a win?    

PG #3:  Yeah, the Ashley chest was the only thing up there that looked cheap enough to be the same prices as the VCR/DVD combo.  And I don't recall ever seeing prizes under $400 in Swap Meet before.

One-Bid #4:  Girls on trampolines!  

PG #4:  Very tough.  Any of those three prices could've been right.  I was a little surprised that Zachary hit the button himself, but at least he registered a guess before doing so.  I was even more surprised that there was no buzzer after the correct price was revealed.

PG #5:  Is Averil the first contestant to guess the same price for all three Cliffy prizes?  I was afraid that toaster was gonna be $50, but she pulled off a nice win there.

SCSD #2:  Another beautiful solo spin from an older contestant.  

Showcase #1:  "STAGE GARF!"

Showcase #2:  "Something smells fishy... again... "

My showcase bids:
FRTS--$28,100
Random room/trip--$13,051

Result:  Yep!  Two days in a row with a ridiculously cheap furniture showcase!

Well, it is from Ashley...  

[SteveGavazzi]

I got a huge kick out of Jake's shirt.  Apparently, so did Bob.

I'm a little surprised Jennifer W. didn't quit Let 'em Roll after her first turn.  Let's face it -- $4,500 isn't exactly chump change.

I really don't think today's Flip Flop is comparable to what Breton did back in Season 33.  Based on Zachary's arm motions, it was pretty clear that he'd settled on a guess and genuinely thought he was supposed to hit the button at that point.  I don't know if he thought that locked his guess in or if he actually was trying to reveal the price, but regardless, everything turned out okay  (Well, everything except that he lost...but that doesn't really have anything to do with the button.)

And it sort of gets lost because of the button thingy, but it's always fun when Bob gets to beat up on a game.

Averil was such an enjoyable contestant, even if she didn't play everything very well.  My mom and I about died laughing during Cliff Hangers when she tried to bid $250 on that answering machine.

I don't often say this, but as long as you knew the rules, there really was no excuse for getting any less than four chances in Cover Up today.  The first and second numbers were both obvious, and the last number both looked like and was 0.

[shellgame69]

Range Game: I figured Jake stopped the finder in the right area.

Swap Meet: I never recall see the matching prize's price below the miminum standard for CR.

Flip Flop: Very tough, for I would have flopped.

Cliffy hangers: I was thinking that Averil's $30 bids would bite her back on the toaster.  Nice win.

Cover Up: I would never guessed that the 1st and 3rd digits repeat.  I would have screwed up on the 3rd and 4th digits.

Showcase: I would have overshot on Switzerland, bidding $17,000.  I would have said $24,000 of trailer.

Overall: a Fun show today.

[PimpinJC]

Range Game-I wonder how come they didn't show the board after Bob said "We're going to play Range Game."  And it's played for a car!  And it was won!

Let 'em Roll-I had a feeling she would lose when she tried for the car.  I would've bailed with the $4500.

Flip Flop-Difficult today.  I would have lost.

Cliff Hangers-What an amusingly awesome playing!  $250 for a SP in Cliff Hangers?  Not likely.  Guessing $30 helped her win the game.  I wonder if 30 is now her favorite number...

[SouthSide86]

Range Game: Ok like i already knew they was fina play Range Game why they can't show the game as is but hey it was played for a car and my guess would have been around $18,000 to $18,150.

Let em Roll: The car matches the set but too bad i was hoping that she wins the car but ends of with $1,000. Not to bad.

Swap Meet: None of those prizes look cheap to me but i glad to see it was won. I would never guess the chest be cheap!

Flip Flop: Zachery is tall than the game itself but i wonder what made him push the button to reveal that he lost.

Cliff Hangers: $250 on an answering machine! I don't think so. Averil's favorite number must be 30!

Cover Up: I would not guess $16,130 for the truck. I though it was going to be $16,427 like always.

Showcases: I bid $21,500 on the showcase with the trailer and was off by $7,400 but i went over  in the room/trip showcase i bid $16,000.

Overall: Range Game needs to be seen. The gig is up, show the game.

So is this how the games went?:

Wins=Range Game, Swap Meet
Losses=Let 'Em Roll, Cover Up, Cliff Hangers
Unknown=Flip Flop

Let me know, bruddahs!  I dare not read the recap on the forum page because of potential things
(like on today's recap ).

Range Game: Played for a car! And won by a person celebrating his 18th birthday!

Let Em' Roll: Impressive roll on the second turn. In the end, the $4,500 should have been taken.

Swap Meet: Can you believe this was won with cheap matching prizes?

Flip Flop: The spirit of Brenton strikes again, but Bob and the contestant handles the incident a lot more classier.

Cliff Hangers: Averil made quite a comeback from a potential wipeout on the first item, by bidding $30 on all of the items! She had a Lucky Seven-ish moment here, and it paid off!

Cover Up: Last season, this game was won quite a few times despite repeating 1's in the price. No such magic today.

Showcases: Once again, winning the more expensive Showcase was easy today.

Overall: Good show today, despite the fairly cheap budget.
