[TinoStar11]

Funny show to say the least. You got a contestant climbing over chairs to come on down , the price getting stuck on Amber in Switch , Drew taking the wrong putter in Hole in One and what tops it off: Drew taking the last contestant to the wrong part of the stage to play OWP and made no mention of it afterwards. Funny , indeed.

[Bobby McBride]

S?: Not a bad start, even though one price tag didn't want to come off.

L7: Even if it was the $24,357 Clubman, today's result would've still been exactly the same.

P!: At least four chips should've been gotten (I kinda understand the last one being missed because of that fake 9).

Range: Tough loss.

HiO: Drew was so close & that was an impressive playing by Timothy (he even took note of the York Peppermint Patties being in a family size bag & put that next-to-last)- his putt looked as strong as Drew's.

OWP: I knew the iMac had the wrong price.

Showcases: Timothy finished off a solid day here.

[PriceBusterXL]

One of the funniest shows of this season........

THE BAD NEWS:

L7: There was no way that was gonna be won...........Especially with that horrible price of the Clubman (the other "kiss of death").

Range Game: If Patrick just wait a few inches more..............

OWP: Alyssa had it right and the nuts talked her out of it. SMH

THE NOT-SO-BAD NEWS:

Plinko: Yet another piss-poor winning...........But $1600 is still better than nothing.

THE GOOD NEWS:

Switch?: Easy setup and win by Beau...........And I thought that bit where Amber was "trying" to pull out the price of the TV was hilarious!

Hole-In-One: Even though Timothy got duped by the lip protectant, he did made a awesome putt on the first try! And he also got a Fiesta, too!

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Nice and funny show all the way.

[moneygamelover]

Switch?: Good way to start the show with a nice win of some decent prizes.

Lucky7: Very tough setup. Too bad as Mini Coopers are fantastic.

Plinko: $1600 is at least some more than just a nominal amount.

Range Game: Painful loss. That was a great trip. If only today's contestant had waited a.little bit longer. I would have won as I was thinking $16700 and would have set my range from $16650 to $16800.

Hole in One or Two: A decent sense of things on the pricing portion and a great putt to win it. The highlight of the show for sure.

One Wrong Price: Too bad to finish with a loss. The computer was a nice prize.

Showcases: The better showcase was won.

Considering a TV and a car were won and how exciting that car win was and $1600 being won on a loss and a 2nd car was won in the showcase this was actually 1 of the better 2 for 6 shows you'll find.

[TPIRighteous]

. . . and what tops it off: Drew taking the last contestant to the wrong part of the stage to play OWP and made no mention of it afterwards.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought I imagined that. I wouldn't be surprised if he did mention it, and it got edited out. But I was glad that they left in the part where Drew grabbed the wrong putter. It was a funny moment—nothing too over the top, but it makes the show feel real when mistakes happen now and again.

If I had to guess, I'd say Drew was out of sorts today, judging by his comment during Hole in One about how "Everything is going so smoothly." Well if that was the case, then today's show was how you make the most of it.

[Flerbert419]

Good on Drew for fully explaining the options related to Patrick's spinning choices.  He should have done the same thing with Wendy, instead of deciding she should take the tie.

Nice trip to Africa in Range Game, too bad it wasn't won.

That camera shot for the Hole in One putt is never going to replace the split screen.

[rblemmy]

And I thought that bit where Amber was "trying" to pull out the price of the TV was hilarious!

Yeah, very funny... indeed!

[SteveGavazzi]

You know, with as infrequently as they've been playing it, it's easy to completely forget how ridiculously stupid the directing in Hole in One has been this year until they reach the point in the game where the split-screen is supposed to show up and it doesn't show up.

Seriously, Adam, I'm sure there are things you've done this year at the show that are genuinely neat and innovative.  This is not one of them.  Continuing to use a camera shot that makes a game harder to watch does not improve the game.  For crying out loud, start using the split-screen again.

[GuyWithFace]

Seriously, Adam, I'm sure there are things you've done this year at the show that are genuinely neat and innovative. This is not one of them.

Neither is the zoom-and-pan style he uses for multi-prize games, such as One Wrong Price on this show.

That said, what I found more disturbing than the angle during Hole In One is that just before the contestant made his putt, it seemed someone turned the "audience noise" sound crank down quickly enough that it was noticeable.

[SteveGavazzi]

Neither is the zoom-and-pan style he uses for multi-prize games, such as One Wrong Price on this show.

No, but that's just garden-variety annoying.  Hole in One's directing actually makes the game hard to follow.
