TPiR Recap - 9/24/2012 (TPiR Season 41 Premiere)

Am i the only one to notice that the showcase area/turntable seemed to be moved a bit closer to the audiance now... check opening as Drew walks out of the big doors.

That would be because Lucky Seven was being played first (the turntable is moved forward to allow the car through between it and "Door 1").

I've noticed that except for the 2003 Car Cue used in Pay the Rent and the Safe Crackers Cue, all other music came from the Carey era. It seems that the progression of dropping Barker era cues is continuing at a faster pace than I'd imagine, which is sad since the 1994 and 2003 package still sounds recent enough to use on the show today. I don't mind seeing all of the '70s and '80s cues abandoned completely (though they still have a special place in my heart and I can always listen to them digitally), but if they were playing 1974 cues in 1992, there is no reason they shouldn't be playing 1994 cues in 2012.

Lucky $even had an average setup, but there hasn't been a 0 in the price in a LONG time (before many of you were born in fact!)

Nice way to start Plinko, and the SP's were fairly easily set up.

Clock Game was played properly and well done.

Double Cross was easy, after narrowing the Washer/Dryer to the $1700/$2100 choices and taking the vehicle from there.

Outdoor kitchens are expensive, and Patricia seemed that she hasn't seen too many of them that caused her to freeze too early.

I wish for Gas Money Drew did a "what would you have picked?" to add to the drama rather than turning them over.

Congratulations on Rachel's pregnancy, and her baby may share my birthday based on the due date. Look for some male model stints around January-April.

Nice showcases, including the first ever Range Rover offered (there was a Land Rover offered in 2010).

A pretty average season premiere (though that means a good show overall), with Rachel's husband not a bad selection for a special guest.

Grade: B-

Good summation!  Although Clock Game was not on this episode.  It would have been better to open up with Triple Play, Three Strikes, or Golden Road.  The won Plinko amount was great.

That happens every time Lucky Seven is played....

How?!

I'm confused on what you're confused about.

EDIT: I think I know.  On Adam's original post, the modifed time was 3:52:25PM, but when you quoted it, the time was 5:52:25PM.  I believe you're saying that somehow the modified time changed.  I'm still not entirely how you came at 5:52:25.  Which time was the first modified time and which was the second?

I am also a bit confused. Please elaborate a bit more for me.

(FTR mine says 4:52:25.)

I must say, that is a spiffy-looking recap.

Yes - love the new graphics on the recap !!!  It's like an animated version of the show !  Great job - can't wait to see how the other games are illustrated.

If I'm not mistaken (and I understand your confusion), moderators are not bound by the ten minute edit limit.

Agreed,   Well Done!!

The image is a screenshot of the recap in my browser.  We have all of that coded in HTML, we are just hitting a wall with the forum software that preventing us from dropping the HTML in the forum post.  For now, we will continue to do the screenshots until a solution can be found.

Glad you all like it!  Nick & I have spent the last month working on this and getting the game templates together.  The fact that over 90% of that is done without using any images is amazing.

Zero is a bad choice from a number of aspects. This wasn't a "this a hidden rule that only we would know" situation, this was a "let's think about this for a second" situation. Nowadays, zero can be close to some numbers, especially the last one since it varies so wildly, but you're better off sticking in the middle and a lot of people realize this.

That doesn't matter if the contestant has $0 to spare.  If he/she has to get the last digit exactly right, and is never told that it's not going to be 0, what possible reason would there be for him/her to discount 0 as a guess?
