Yay for another great show!  Lots of crazy contestants, and Drew was really on the ball.  This is the second episode out of the last three that's felt like the old days.

Of course, the glaring exception to this was Gas Money, which was set up horrendously for the umpteenth time in a row.  That game is seriously becoming the new That's Two Ninth!...it's lost quickly and identically almost every time it's played, which Mike and Adam just can't seem to figure out isn't fun to watch over and over.

What the heck was going on with Race Game?  For a split second, I thought we were actually going to get a three-car day, because it looked like they were revealing More or Less.  Then I thought we were getting Take Two, because the price holders weren't there.  That was one of the strangest game reveals I've ever seen.

I know it seems stupid to complain about wins...but man, I miss seeing people lose Cliff Hangers.

I see somebody finally had the sense to shut off the contestants' mics during the credits.  Thank God.

I also see there's a position called "special producer" now.  Scott, does that retroactively make you a producer? :)

I think there's a pattern in Gas Money. In its most recent playings, the price of the car is often the least expensive multiple of 5.

Fixed that for you.

Can we please have someone play set up Gas Money competently again?

Fixed that for you.

Very interesting lineup today. Of course, a competitive Gas Money would have made it better.

I see somebody finally had the sense to shut off the contestants' mics during the credits.  Thank God.

WOOOOOOO!! YEAAAAAAAAH!!! OH MY GOD! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!
