Bah... Dice needs to go home and try again next season.

Bargain needs to get out of the first two, and Plinko has been 3rd too much lately.

[elskunkoman]

Another rough show today. Our 9th skunking for the season. It seems like mike richards doesn't wanna have every show with 1 pricing game win for a whole drew carey season.

[JerseyBob]

Bah... Dice needs to go home and try again next season.

Or contestants could simply go with the odds on the final three digits...

[Wayoshi]

Or contestants could simply go with the odds on the final three digits...

I'm grouping that under "Dice just didn't have it this season", because many times that has been the wrong thing to do this season as well.

Just stop it. This is NOT a skunking, and I certainly do not consider it winless either.

[Kirsten Vaccaro]

Today show was good a good win on plinko.

[Kev347]

This was far from a bad show, but it wasn't a great one either. It was a great lineup but we ran into major bad luck today in Dice and Grocery Game, and a really bad playing in Race Game to go along with typical Cover. Was certainly nice to see another huge Plinko win though! Plinko has certainly been feast or famine this season, with a few 0s but also a few 20k+. Glad to have good Drew back as well. Let's try again tomorrow

Timings:
Dice Game (4.5) - 5:00
Bargain Game (3.5) - 3:32
Plinko (5.5) - 5:07
Grocery Game (5) - 4:45
Cover Up (5) - 4:06
Race Game (5) - 4:34
Total (28.5): 27:04

[GSB92]

Showcase 2 was $30,571.

[Cartboy]

Great win on Plinko!   Pretty horrible other than that.

Just stop it. This is NOT a skunking, and I certainly do not consider it winless either.

I don't consider it winless either, especially since $20,500 was won on Plinko.

[DJTorgo]

Bargain Game was just nasty today.

[PriceBusterXL]

I had some good hopes from the almost perfect show and yesterday's special with the More or Less losing streak..........But once again, Mike really crapped on this one today.

The only good thing was Plinko, but Mike was too diabolical on Dice Game and Cover Up. Michael had some bad luck on not just Dice, but his showcase, too, when he went over. Jeffery should've never listened to that blonde when she wants him to pick the 8 on Cover Up.

Another lame and cold-blooded show today.

Uh, Cover Up had quite possibly its' easiest setup this season, and Dice Game is Dice Game, and would've been won if he went with the odds.

[ayoung]

I'm a mark for the train and tugboat appearances for some reason, and i absolutely loved the lady who tried to bid on the tugboat! 

[BRB_TheFireball]

A $20,500 Plinko winner, and we didn't need a PCH gimmick to do it.

Is Novel the first contestant ever to try to bid on a prop?  For a minute there, I thought we were gonna have the fourth outrageously dumb surfboard bid in TPIR history.

Race Game last came out of nowhere.  This is the first episode we've had in a long time that didn't include a quickie one-prize game in its lineup.

My showcase bids:
Car--$28,107
Truck--$28,107

[notsoeasy]

Just stop it. This is NOT a skunking, and I certainly do not consider it winless either.

Now, now, you know full well as I do he just can't do that.  He simply would not be elskunkoman if he actually did stop it.
