TPiR Recap - 10/3/2012

[DYC]

Bless you, my friend.
Truly, thanks for a lightning quick response, mate.

Kinda dissapointed it does not match the main prop.

So.. do we know for sure that it's not also going to be shared with Bonus Game?
(Sorry, didn'
t see todays ep so this is all I can comment on)

So.. do we know for sure that it's not also going to be shared with Bonus Game?

You are so welome.
This is bonus games new SP prop.  The prop spins around

You can see the new prop on the 40th anniversary special

[Wayoshi]

Oh wait, they seriously did dump the old SP table entirely after it was shown on-camera last season.

What a joke. What is this gray contraption even, the tumbler can be seen to the diagonal upper right of BBQ set...

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I am thoroughly annoyed with Drew running up to and messing around with the camera after he makes his entrance every single day.

As am I. I've also grown tired of Drew feeling the need to introduce George to the viewers at the top of every single show. We know he's the announcer now. We get it.

They also seem to have switched the Switcheroo reveal...the game is now being revealed before the SPs. It doesn't help that Drew's hosting was absolutely abysmal during that segment...he barely explained the rules, then didn't even throw to George that well for the SPs. To add insult to injury, after the SP descriptions, Drew basically just said "thirty seconds, go!"

Oh, and Drew, the small prizes MATTER. Stop telling contestants to worry only about the car. The opposite is true in the game. You price the small items, THEN put the remaining block in the car price.

Ugh, yes.  That looks hideously unprofessional.

Was anyone else bothered by the fact that there were no losing horns after the double overbid?

It's just a freakin' double overbid.

[TheBigAK]

Seems that the "mighty sound effect lady" fell asleep at the wheel.   again

[Wayoshi]

Roo has come before the SPs for quite awhile now.

[Hag]

If I ever got on stage and was going to play Roo, I'd be tempted to tell Drew "Forget the car, I want the small prizes!"

There was some heavy editing going on in that switcheroo rule explanation. I think a lot of drews pricing game rule explanations get cut for time.
I dont think any of us can know how long he rambled on for or how much he explained before they actually played that game.

[Cartboy]

Good show overall, IMHO.  Too bad it ended in a double overbid.

[SteveGavazzi]

It's just a freakin' double overbid.

And to the best of my knowledge, the only one in 40 years not accompanied by the losing horns, so I completely fail to see your point.  It's been done for literally decades, and it sounds wrong without it there.

When I post a video to YouTube of myself spazzing out because they missed a sound effect, then you can be a smart aleck about it.  Until then, I'm not sure why you'd expect us not to discuss this.

[JT]

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I am thoroughly annoyed with Drew running up to and messing around with the camera after he makes his entrance every single day.

Every time Drew plays with the camera in the opening, I think back to Janice's terrible camera accident in 1988....of course no one doing the show now knows what transpired that year but it still bothers me....
