[Mr. Weatherman]

4 for 6 on pricing games, including two car wins, and a with another car win. I call that a pretty good day.

[sravenes]

Dice Game - Nice Win.
Bargain Game - Great choice win.
Half Off - Tough Luck.
Side by Side - Too easy.
Race Game - POORLY played in my book.
Ten Chances - Very nicely played and won.
4/6 plus a  to boot now that was an awesome show right there

[Bobby McBride]

Dice: First car win of S42! The same car was won on this PG's first win of last season (but $200's added).

Bargain: Easy.

1/2 Off: At least it wasn't #11 (& Dawn didn't choose that).

SBS: Thank goodness Anna listened to the audience.

Race: Kimberly started out well but then the nerves got to her.

10C: EXCELLENT playing!

Showcases: A pity neither car game winner made it today, but at least one other PG winner, Anna, became a DSW!!!!!!!!

It's really too bad they couldn't make this the SP instead of what aired Mon., IMHO.

[PriceBusterXL]

I guess the 3rd time was the charm..............

THE BAD NEWS:

1/2 Off: Too bad Dawn didn't pick box #2 (which was my second guess from the chat).

THE NOT-SO-BAD NEWS:

Race Game: At least Kimberly is leaving here with a foosball table............Too bad her nervousness got the best of her. I did find her awkwardness on the big wheel humorous when she asked if she went over on the 2nd spin.

THE GOOD NEWS:

Dice Game: Almost perfect win John! Great way to start today!

10 Chances: Good thing she knew the zero rule, which led to her win!

Bargain Game: I had a feeling the bags were the bigger bargain.

Side-by-Side: Easy set-up and win by Anna.......Good thing she listened to the 'nuts! And she's our first  !!!!!!

BOTTOM LINE: I'm surprised that with these wins and that kind of excitement, why wasn't this the season premiere? While this was (so far) the best show of the week, I'm flabbergasted as to why something like this should've been from Monday, since Mike hardly put any kind of effort with the premiere.........Unless you count him bragging about his Emmy win. 

Nevertheless, the lineup was great. So were the wins (All 3 cars were won, too!  ) That's the kind of thing we want from Premiere Week, and I hope it'll be like that for the rest of the week.

[Mallory16]

You know, it's rare for the audience to be so unanimous for even a simple pricing game, much less a relatively complex one like Ten Chances, but dang if it did not seem like the entire audience will filled to the brim with loyal friends and true during that playing!

[Roadgeek Adam]

Recap up. Sorry about that.

[CJBojangles]

The perfectly-synced-up sounds are still a little jarring after all this time of a slight delay, but it seems appropriate. I wonder how they managed to incorporate it with all the old technology, like Dice Game's ancient Sportstype displays. I noticed with the final reveal in Dice Game today - there was one extra-loud DING! as the number reveal bell and win bells overlapped.

It's also been making for some odd instances in which the win bells seem to go on forever before being cut off. They played a good 2-3 seconds of them for the donut maker in 10 Chances, which would have gotten just a few dings before. It's just a donut maker, people. We're also hearing the "Over" buzzer in strange places as well, as we saw with 1/2 Off today and One Away yesterday.

Loved the new reveal of 1/2 Off. Well done, Adam.

Wow, that Race Game player was not the brightest crayon in the box. You could tell even Drew was annoyed with her. Not only did she do an abysmal job of playing the game, but then after she spins a dollar on her second spin, stands there facing away from the wheel with a deer-in-the-headlights stare and says "Uhhh... Did I go over?!" Yes, sweetie. You did. Way to pick 'em, guys. 

Drew hosted the heck out of this show today. It almost felt like Barker was back at the helm. "We're gonna be back to spin the wheel a second time right after this, so come on back, folks!" Bob, is that you?

And good on you, Anna, for bidding appropriately after that nasty $1500 cash addition in Showcase #2. They weren't expecting a DSW on that one. Couldn't have happened to a sweeter lady, too.

[htmlcc92]

Loved the new reveal of 1/2 Off. Well done, Adam.

What was different about the reveal? I know I noticed something that looked different, but can't say for sure what it was.


And is it just me, or was the Ten Chances set set at a slightly different angle than usual, like maybe more towards the audience?

I also find it a little weird that it was set like that.......But I'm not sure if they did that more than once.

[Jordanar18]

Such a refreshment to see a solid Ten Chances playing.  The contestant was so exciting to watch!

Very good show, and easily the best of the season so far.  Wouldn't be surprised if it was better than the rest of the shows this week.

[CJBojangles]

What was different about the reveal? I know I noticed something that looked different, but can't say for sure what it was.

After the initial $10,000 sign reveal and contestant reaction, they cut to a wide shot of Door #2 with Drew and the contestant and zoomed in to the game as the sign split apart. Before, they kept a tight shot of the sign as it split apart. The new way is more imaginative.

And is it just me, or was the Ten Chances set set at a slightly different angle than usual, like maybe more towards the audience?

The game already faces straight forward to the audience. It can't be any more "towards the audience".

The shot was at a different angle than usual, more from the side, and included the whole prop. I thought it was pretty sweet.

[Kyle]

This was a very good show. As CJB pointed out, Drew was very, shall we say Barkerish, in his hosting today. Not only that, but, the way the show flowed from segment to segment and the way the games were set-up felt very much like the Barker years.

It was nice to see a good Dice Game win right off the bat after it being absent from the last couple of months of season 41. The Bargain Game was set-up very well with the handbags being the obvious choice there. 1/2 Off was played well enough and unfortunately it just didn't pan out, as sometimes happens, however, that new reveal of the $10,000 logo splitting apart was nice. Side By Side seems to have taken Double Prices' spot as the go-to one-prize quickie game, however, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Race Game was a bit of a mis-step, as Drew pointed out, she ended up changing things back to a pattern she knew only had one right and as CJB observed, she seemed a little oblivious during the Showcase Showdown asking if she lost after spinning the dollar on her second spin. 10 Chances was played about as well as you could hope for, really, in that she all but guaranteed herself a victory by securing enough chances to play for the car. The only price that made sense was going to start with 1-8 or a 1-9 and 0 obviously had to be last, so, it was just a simple process of elimination to ensure a tidy win there.

Top it all of with a solid Double Showcase Winner and this is the first truly great episode of season 42. Let's have some more!

[Cartboy]

Dice Game:  Great win!
Bargain Game, Side By Side:  Nice wins!
1/2 Off:  Bummer!
Race Game:  Not very good playing, IMO, but at least Kimberly didn't get the goose egg.
10 Chances:  Very well played!   I wish it was played this well everytime it's played.
Showcase:  Wow, a already!  Awesome!

Great show, IMHO!

[Kev347]

Well, this was certainly a fun show. Great game lineup, good contestants, good results. Even a good audience that actually knew the 0 rule in 10 Chances - made up for many previous nightmares in that situation. Drew was a bit off to me today though. His Dice and Bargain reveals were completely flat, as was his first commercial toss - just no enthusiasm whatsoever and completely flying through things with no buildup. Things improved a little in midshow, but then his DSW reveal was flat enough there was brief confusion over who won. The "little pauses" just were not there today. For all I know this was 10 Chances related editing though. As fun as it is, that game should probably not be played last, because we seemed to be flying to get there today. Still, this couldn't get me down too much.

The DSW was especially funny because $1,500 cash was included in the showcase probably specifically to get it out of "normal DSW" range, as it would have been 22210 without it, and able to be DSWed by a normal 22k bid. Too bad for them the contestant added $500 herself!
