One of the poorest playing winners in TPIR history.
« on: June 01, 2013, 02:06:17 AM »
I was looking through some TPIR videos on youtube and this 1 really stands out. Here's a contestant who played Ten Chances as though she had the brain of a kindergartener and yet still won! Bob's reaction at the end speaks for itself.

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.

I think a lot of us are already aware of that.

That clip's been around since YouTube's existence...

This video has over 5 million views. That probably means that we, the biggest TPIR fans in the world, have seen it.

This has been around forever, but....

While this was indeed a terrible playing of 10 Chances, it was one of those great moments in TPiR history.   Bob's reaction to the Win was what made Bob great.

Should this be in the Video Collection?

Perhaps you should practice what you preach, Steve.

I remember the day this thing aired.  I still can't believe she won that car.

And for what it's worth, reports from the studio showed that Bob was absolutely as dumbfounded as he looked.
