Wow! This was an unexpectedly great show, regardless of whether you think it was perfect or not.
Now if we could just get a "perfect" singles show. Seriously, this year was so much better than last because the setups on average were much fairer. I think everything except the cars and cash was provided by weddingchannel.com, which might help explain why everything except the car games was set up easy. Still, it was nice to watch the wins really pile up today. There were a few bad ideas still strewn about (I bet they REALLY regret that free Miami trip for everyone now seeing as everyone won something anyway) but this in general was done well, and so much better than last Monday. Drew actually mentioning things he never does today, like the money in Money Game and especially the chance for "perfection", showed on top of it he was. Interesting that Drew brought it up on a Plinko day after not bringing it up on two non-Plinko days. Still, I'm glad he's bringing it up at all.
And hey, in order for this show to truly make history books, we had to get by a very difficult Pocket setup 6th. Allison and Jeffrey didn't exactly do that - they managed to not underprice the Civic, but still make four other mistakes. However, for once, we finally got the big Pocket envelopes to come out at a time when we really needed them. We've had a lot of playings the past couple seasons where people only needed 75 cents but got $2.00 anyway, so it was nice to see the luck come when we NEEDED it, especially with such a big show on the line. What a dramatic ending to the show that made.
There have certainly been a few duds, but this is the best homestretch to a season we've had in the Mike era (May was certainly well above average, and this is a good start for June). Here's hoping we can keep it up going back to normal tomorrow...
