And some notes:
I've been obsessed with trying to make hard playings of games ever since my first show. Out of my first 8 shows, 4 were 5-out-of-6 (including the first two shows), along with one perfect show. If you don't believe me,
see this show.
More or Less: This worked out exactly the way I intended it to. I wanted the player to get to the Mustang to see if they knew better than the contestants from season 35, who thought that Mustang coupes were cheap. So, I made the first three prizes easy.
Balance Game: I knew I wanted to make the right price the most expensive option, since I can't imagine an upright piano being more than $8,000.
Hit Me: I really didn't know how this one was going to turn out. After Bob made the comment about the setup, I wanted it won, and I was relieved to see that the first card was a 6. There were really two tangible options for the 10 - the cookies and the sleep aid (which was actually $9.95, making it a 6), and the syrup and aspirin were pretty cheap, making them the candidates for the ace. Like I said, Guy got really unlucky.
One Away: I expected this to be won. My original setup was 28822, which would have been a piece of cake. I really thought 1 was the obvious choice for the last number.
BBB: Expensive fireplace + cheap motorscooter = Loss.
Joker: The only reason I made card 5 the Joker was so that I could go on my rant about the sound effect.
The original second half lineup was BBB, Pathfinder, and Push Over, but I decided that was too boring with two quickies in there. Plus -- I've never played Joker, and when else am I going to play it?
