TPiR Recap - 1/29/2013

[Swiper]

Do you guys like Double Cross?

I feel like I see this game all the time ... Price is Right's attempt at a very tech-savy piece of equipment ... fairly easy game, though I see people struggle with the moment sometimes ...
Never used a touchscreen before? lol

I'd rather see Rat Race compared to this ... more of a "game" then this sliding thing lol

With the way Drew acted and sounded, I thought at first that Kendrick punched the $25,000 hole with his last punch. Thinking about it now, Drew probably was reacting to the $5000 and then the $10,000 cards being revealed.

If I were in Kristyn's position playing Cover Up, after getting the first two digits correct (the 1 and the 8 ) I would have chosen 4s for the other three, thinking surely one of those 4s would be correct.  

I would have lost right away.

And speaking of Cover Up, and this might sound a bit harsh, but Drew saying something like "I don't even know why they even have those numbers there - they're wrong anyway"  and then immediately saying "You're going to Cover Up(emphasis added by me) these wrong numbers with the right numbers" was just stupid. Drew, the game is called Cover Up!! No numbers down there to start, no numbers to cover up!

Drew has a fair point. Those number truly are meaningless. That whole row could be the Todson/Goodman daisy, and they would be still covering up something. The false price provides no hint or any help in playing the game, it's merely window dressing.

Someone finally punched 4,10! Hooray! The mystery is over! It makes sense that 10K would still be there. If it was there during the Bob era, why move it?

In fairness, it does. After all, the hole had not been punched for about eight years.

That said, I vaguely remember someone finding the $10,000 during the insipid "one $25,000, one $10,000" era.

I'd say the numbers there have a purpose, and Drew in fact said it, after saying that they had none: they are there to be covered up. They are not there to provide a hint or help. They form a wrong price to be covered up by, hopefully, the correct one.

If they stick G-T asterisks down there, then you're just covering up some random symbol that they stuck in to force the game's name to mean something.  With numbers down there, though...well, as Bob said many times, you're covering up the wrong numbers with the right numbers.  It all flows completely logically.
