Whenever I see that someone is going to play Cover Up, before Drew even starts explaining the rules, I (very often correctly) say that they will lose. I don't like to, but it's usually true. A lot of contestants don't seem to watch much of the show before they go to become potential contestants. So many more cars could have been won in Cover Up if they had.
 
I really don't know how Bonkers could have been lost, because just looking at the numbers, all you have to do is go with the odds (like one should do in Dice Game - most of the time, at least). In my opinion, the trip to San Francisco was a gimme.
 
Good win on Magic #. I myself had picked $2,550, but either one worked.
 
Nice win on It's in the Bag. I got the last two items switched with each other. For some reason when I had seen that Gold Bond before, I thought it had been cheaper.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

I loved It's in the Bag today. I loved Erin's combination of excitment,guts,and skill. I loved her "I'm going for it." attitude right throughout the game. After she went against the peanut gallery and got it right for the $8000,I was really rooting for the $16,000 to be won. That was a really exciting game and Erin was a fantastic contestant. Loved it!
Adjustments that should be made to pricing games to make them fairer: Secret X: Add a 3rd SP so that perfect pricing ensures a win. 1/2 Off: Add a 4th set of SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Master Key: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Rat Race: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win.

The following pricing games should be retired because there's no way or no easy way to make them fair: Spelling Bee, Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Pass the Buck, Let em Roll, 3 Strikes.

The following retired pricing games should be revived: $uper $aver, Give or Keep, Buy or Sell, Hurdles, Bump, Penny Ante, Credit Card, On the Spot, Split Decision, Add em Up, Walk of Fame, Barker's Markers, Magic Number.
