*Macsen hops out of a time portal* What is it with the missing recaps and contestants stuck on the Row? *he jumps back through* You see, if Gregory didn't decide to self-defibrillate one guess after his premature $1 outbid, he'd be in danger of the morgue. Lisa didn't really do anything wrong. In fact, she's had some smart bids. But that's the way things go sometimes for The First Four Wall of Shame. Can she parlay the last bid advantage into a self-rescue?

Lineup:

5 Price Tags: W

Flip Flop: BURN IT L

Danger Price: W

Pick A Number: W

Stack the Deck: L

Clock Game: W

A decent 4/6. Five Price Tags and Danger Price were easy.

Now about Clock Game. Drew nearly messed her up, stuttering his high/low sayings, confusing the contestant.

Bidding about $43,000 on Jewerly, Paris, and a Mazda Miata??

[Bobby McBride]

5PT: Nice job by David! $19,390 was also my first guess for the Mazda. And that was a hilarious blooper w/ that non-stick waffle maker!

F-F: Latoya simply chose the wrong -98 choice.

Danger: I thought that fridge would be even more expensive!

PaN: As easy as it will get, folks.

StD: Rebecca needed to have somehow swept the groceries (the right ones were all on the same line again) & have chosen the last three digits to have won. I would've missed the last grocery item.

Clock: Decent job.

Showcases: That was a well-done reveal- showing Gregory's overbid first was the right thing to do. And Drew, please stop saying someone cleaned up often even though they didn't win their Pricing Game (Stephanie's $104K+ DSW is one notable exception).

Good show today.

[Wayoshi]

Got a busy night tonight. Recap will be delayed.

How about posting the placeholder early on when you know it will be one of those days?

Anyways, for a show with 5PT and Stack, pretty decent one. SCs are bad this week though, and Stack's GPs seemed to "compensate" for a relatively friendly price (although the same price was used on 12/19, and I don't recall wipeout GPs).

[vadernader]

Bidding about $43,000 on Jewerly, Paris, and a Mazda Miata??

Is perfectly valid. Confusing one showcase for another!?!?!?

SC2 had Paris, Designer Crap, and a Boat, and was $43,998. So why can't Jewelry Paris and a Miata be $43,998? (Even though SC1 was not that)

[Kev347]

We did VERY well to go 4/6 on this particular show. 5 Price Tags has been on a nice roll this season even despite some tough setups, and Clock Game is finally beginning to get some momentum going as well. Clock Game playings like today are almost even more rewarding to watch than the superfast ones - when you get a contestant who clearly doesn't know the game very well, yet sticks with it, learns as she goes along and still wins, that makes for good TV. However it's tough unfortunately for all of that not to be overshadowed by a lot of typical Mike stuff going on, including a particularly impossible Stack The Deck, Drew acting like a goof, and a ridiculous 2nd showcase with $8,000 worth of designer crap in it. (That showcase essentially had 4 TPIR look of the weeks in it). When is enough enough? Also, it's somehow even more frustrating to see games like Deck and L7 continue to remain impossible while other games, even Pathfinder, gradually become more reasonable. It's just frustrating by contrast. Blah - this one was good, but left a bad taste in my mouth.

Timings:
5 Price Tags (5.5) - 4:25
Flip Flop (3.5) - 3:36
Danger Price (4.5)- 3:52
Pick A Number (3.5) - 3:22
Stack The Deck (5.5) - 5:18
Clock Game (4.5) - 5:16
Total (27): 25:49

[BRB_TheFireball]

Cool!  5 Price Tags was won, despite that evil $280 waffle maker showing up.  I had a feeling the car would be $20,000+.  George said the word "Touring" in the car description, and "Touring" usually means expensive.

Go away, Daniel Goddard!

Danger Price was easy.  Good thing that Gregory had a faint idea that Elmira appliances are notoriously expensive.

Yay!  Big Green Egg!

Unless Rebecca thought that a Ford Focus might cost $21,000+, there was absolutely no sense in picking the first number.

My showcase bids:
Car--$27,107
--$42,107

[stardf29]

How about CBS or Price just come right out and announce that they've hired Daniel Goddard as an official male Price model from now on? He modeled far more today than he has in any past show, to be sure...

A 5 Price Tags win is a great way to start the day! I see Mike decided to go to the other extreme for this one (most of the past playings, the cheapest price was correct; in today's (and 10/13's), it was the most expensive). Setup itself wasn't too bad for a 3T-1F, since at least one of the True prices was intuitive, the car looked in the $18K-$20K range, and $18,773 doesn't look very good, so that was less likely to be chosen.

That said, the Evil $280 Non-Stick Waffle Maker decided to be even more evil by... not being non-stick. 

Flip Flop: Overpriced the ATVs. At least she observed the evens rule.

Danger Price: I was worried that the refrigerator was going to be even more expensive (around $4K) and that something else was more expensive than it looked. Thankfully, it was as easy as it looked.

Pick-a-Number: Hey, remember when Mike would always set this game up with consecutive digits and deceptive prizes to get loss after loss in this game? Today... not so much.

Stack the Deck: I guess some contestants do not know that Ford Focuses aren't $21K, like we thought the last time this exact same car and setup (as far as possible number choices) came up...

Clock Game: Played well despite early overbidding and a bit of a slip-up by Drew.

I guess Mike is making up for not having anything particularly good for my birthday with this week so far...

[PriceBusterXL]

Once again, a pretty good show:

THE BAD NEWS:

Flip-Flop: Did the peanut gallery really think that a pair of ATVs would be worth $9598?! No wonder Latoya lost that...................

STD: Another loss..........Nothing new to say the least. But Rebecca did redeemed herself with her showcase win...............Surprised that the designer stuff, a trip to Paris, and a boat would be more than $43,000.

THE GOOD NEWS:

5PT: David did good with only those two tries! I didn't think that a waffle maker would cost $280............At least a faulty one. LOL I thought that mishap was funny, though.

Danger Price: I thought it was a little too easy, considering that they put out that retro fridge. Nice to know that Gregory avoided that for the win.

Pick-A-Number: Another easy win!

Clock Game: Alana sure was no Anjuli when she won the luggage and the iPads, also the Antigua trip and $1000 bonus! That was a good job!!

Still some good wins today, but I think Mike is milking Daniel Goddard right to the bone. If Daniel wants to be the new model or, in this case, the first male model in the show's history, why don't Mike just give him the damn job, and be done with it? Unless, he already gave him the job.......................

[SilverFirePrime]

Since both Goddard and Flip Flop were rolled into one today, I'm surprised this message board didn't implode. That being said, really good show today.  Drew was (almost) on his game all day, and the lineup was fun.  Question about Clock Game:  Had she lost, would they still have given her a Tech Win since Drew stumbled badly, and they could say that threw her off?

[spoon14]

If the Flip Flop contestant just stopped and thought about it, that would have been an easy win. Picking $5998 means each ATV costs $2999. Makes sense.

Today was the show for people who don't much about TPIR to win. Both the Clock Game player and the Danger Price guy needed rule clarifications. It probably helped that an iPad 2 was one of the prizes. The general public seems to have a ballpark idea of the price. Drew emphasizes talking clearly in his Clock Game instructions. But when Clock Game contestant crash and burn, I think failing to listen is often the problem.

I know many posters hate designer crap, but I thought Showcase #2 was well done.

Is it just me, or does Daniel Goddard look stoned when he's modeling?

[Wayoshi]

^Most of the audience was convinced each ATV was much more.

I hated that "Belgian" was removed from the copy. It makes the show look worse then they feel they need to do that to get an already impossible SP harder.

[titantoa4]

With the number of times this season that Daniel Goddard has appeared on Price Is Right in some capacity, I'm wondering if they might be considering giving him the hosting gig on Price Is Right, after all they tried it once with another Young and The Restless alumni, I am of course speaking of Doug Davidson. and the only reason it tanked was because of Monicagate as I like to call it.

[spoon14]

With the number of times this season that Daniel Goddard has appeared on Price Is Right in some capacity, I'm wondering if they might be considering giving him the hosting gig on Price Is Right,

Doesn't seem like that to me, because they don't really have him do any hosting-type duties. He just models. The regular models do more talking than Daniel. I don't see why Daniel modeling sometimes has to mean anything beyond TPIR planning to have a male model on some episodes.

[Wayoshi]

...Hosting? No.
