TPiR Recap - 4/30/2012

[tpirfan28]

I will declare Range Game a technical win because Erin's choice was close enough.

reported, mt0708.  Nice try.

[GSB92]

He's been back for quite a while. Maybe he'll finally be back in banville.

Sorry to be off-topic about this episode, but next Monday I will be taking a break from this board. I will be on a campout and won't be able to post anything due to lack of Internet service there. I will return on Wednesday.

Luke/mt0708, shut up. A loss is a loss and you can do nothing to change it.

Good. Please go get lost in the woods.

Now see Vader, why can't the arrivals and departures of our Recap Guides occur on good shows?

In any case, it was so delightful to finally get another playing of Pay The Rent where a contestant didn't put the cheapest item in the mailbox. Unfortunately, Alka-Seltzer has spread to Pay the Rent. So the clear bailout to those who have been paying attention these past few weeks turns into a legitimate "He Wins" for the audience. I tell you, Alka-Seltzer is on a GP games tour. It's next appearance will be in Rat Race where it will campaign for Mitt Romney.

Push Over was not supposed to be lost. She was so close.

Any Number was just tough. Oh well.

The Discovery of Alka-Seltzer
INT. Mike Richard's Office
Adam rushes in out of breath.
Mike: What's wrong?
Adam holds up a box of Alka Seltzer.
Adam: I just found this at the store on the way here. Guess how much it costs.
Mike takes the box from Adam and observes it closely.
Mike: I don't understand what's so special about it, looks like it is six ninety nine.
Adam: Four twenty-two.
Mike: Don't lie to me Adam.
Adam: No lie.
Mike: Oh...my...god.
Mike holds box of Alka Seltzer towards the ceiling, chorus of Angels sing.
FADE TO BLACK

I laughed so hard at this. XD

I was so convinced Kevin had won too...oh well.

*puts on gas mask*

Kevin at least tried to play the game properly, ignoring the folks in the gallery clamoring for Twinkies in the mailbox. Unfortunately, the prices below the attic just didn't pan out the right way, and to make it worse, the Alka-Seltzer of Doom showed up to ensure a full loss.

That said, a tip for anyone unlucky enough to have to play this game: if both items on the second floor are more expensive than both items on the first floor, you don't have the right combination; bail.

Push Over was semi-tough, but it could have been the one to save us from the skunk; no idea why she let the Peanut Gallery talk her into stopping early.

Fake El Cheapo in Money Game? Mike is on to us... Also, not sure why she thought the Dodge Challenger might be $34K...

Uh, the MG car was a '12 Chrysler 200 LX, NOT a Challenger.

[JerseyBob]

Even more reason not to select the "34."  My first choice would have been the "20" since, I believe, the least expensive Chrysler 200 available is the $19,995 one that has been on the show several times and the "8" as the hundreds digit ruled out "19."

Actually, "Price's" base ARP for said car's $19,745 (even though it's now $19,845).

I stand corrected, however, my flawed thinking still gave me the right first two digits.

Something that I noticed - have the CNAOS prizes been eliminated?  There was no segment today, which is not something new (it has been edited out in the past).  However, the manufacturers have been mentioned in the credits on the past shows, while they were nowhere to be found today.

A bit harsh eh?

Time constraints, probably.
