TPiR Recap - 4/30/2013

[PriceBusterXL]

One thing, I don't watch the Iron Man films, but was this the first time in a long while a licensed piece of music was used on the show?  The whole showcase was awesome as well and one of the best this season.

I was hoping they would use this(For those who are Marvel vs. Capcom fans like me)....................But it was pretty cool that they use the licensed music.

I also missed most of the show because of the presidential news conference, but I did read the recap, and I'll probably go back and at least watch Lucky $even online sometime soon. Always great to see (or even read about) a win there.

I don't recall hearing the music played for the products in Bag before. Not too bad; at least it has somewhat of a melody.

Someone on the Price staff sure seems to like Pathfinder a lot. (My opinion: Pathfinder again?!!)

And indeed another Bob reference from contestant's row, nearly six years after his retirement. To be honest, I feel both a bit happy and a bit sad about it.

SS: I can see why they didn't reveal the price of the Honda motorcycle- we've seen that on the show multiple times.

Pushover: The full push backfires.

Pathfinder: The car price wasn't that tough, but the SPs were, especially that $400 vacuum- too bad Dylan was still way off despite actually winning that vacuum.

Bargain: Easy, at least for me.

L7: Hadeel won thanks to getting the second number exactly- we've had quite a few wins in this game recently!

IITB: Well, we now know Libman cleaner costs about half as much as their usual mop.

Showcases: I knew Marsha's bid on the Audi Showcase was solid & that was a great reveal by Drew, IMO.

Good show today, if you exclude the first half.

He has done it in Card Game and in Pocket ¢hange in the past, so I'm already unimpressed with it.

I'm well aware. He has not, however, done it in Showcases yet. Which, is why it made for an awesome reveal.

[stardf29]

Mostly average show (odd that the Spree contestant never bothered with the bike), but at least it had a good L7 win.

I'm guessing The Powers That Be were banking on SC2 being overbid by people thinking all Audis were $40K+. Instead, Drew gets to try out his "taxes" fake-out during the Showcase reveal. I will admit, it fooled me at first.

[SteveGavazzi]

I love that we're finally seeing four-prize games get played first again.

Dylan struck me as immensely phony during Pathfinder.  He acted more like a Deal or No Deal contestant than a Price Is Right contestant.

It's always awesome to see somebody win Lucky $even.

Drew, for the love of God, NEVER reveal the Showcase winner that way again.  That was horrible.

Is it a shame that this is how I watch the show when I watch it online?

Well, it's a shame insofar as that's the only way to watch the show with the normal music...but the act of doing it?  I certainly don't think so.
