CSS Results for 04/07/2014 (Game 126)
« on: April 07, 2014, 07:13:01 PM »
Price 8000!

...sure doesn't feel like it.

Where's my luxury car? Where's my extravagant trip? Where's my otherwise super sexed-up showcase? These are the kinds of things that are appropriate for a show of this calibre, yet, none of these things showed up. This was just a pair of ordinary showcases, with the featured car being a Kia Rio, no less. These aren't the kinds of things you have show up on a milestone show, folks!

As such, while this isn't a bloodbath, we do have quite a few Willys, particularly on that trip to Thailand. To be fair, it probably should have been a lot more because special show, and because penthouse, but it was cheap. vadernader, continuing his trend of either DSWing or failing, gets the former for the second time in a row today, building on his cash lead by just under $53,000.

On the other side, the aforementioned Kia Rio. Not a Corvette. Not a Porshe. Not even a Mustang or a Camaro. A freakin' Kia Rio. It was padded out a little bit with a trip to Hawaii, but still...it's the 8000th show, people! Kev347 does grab the cash on it...all $28K-and-change.

EDIT 04/08/2014: Because of a previously-posted picture of Monday's Plinko game spoiling the result of one chip drop, the Plinko doubler has been rescinded for this playing. See posts below.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

When I hear penthouse and 24hr butler service I do not think $23K. Not a good start to my week thats for sure.

I figured SC1 could be anywhere from $20K to $35K, so I bid in the lower part of that range and hoped for the best.  I'm pleasantly surprised to have ended up in third place!  :-D

I was so pissed with the quality of these showcases that I didn't even play. :P


Actually, I slept in and DVR'd the show. But these showcases really sucked for the occasion. Good job, Mike. :sarcastic_clap:
Pardon my language, but I do believe we all need to calm the f*** down.

Just so you know CBS spoiled PLiNKO today with this pic posted yesterday.

YES! You have them all right! You win $2,500! You will putt from the closest line!

Jhc2010 putts from the closest line and WINS!!!

Congratulations! Those 2 cars are yours! Now we go to the Showcase Showdown! You will spin first. Pick a number between 1 and 20.

As long as it didn't spoil the results that's fine.

It does show a chip in the 0 slot, though...so yeah, I do have to rescind the doubler.

"Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better." - Sydney J. Harris

“For the premiere of season 30, CBS wanted to do a special primetime show. However, they asked that we also add a gimmick or a twist to make it truly special. I came up with the suggestion of taking the show on the road for the first time in its history." - Roger Dobkowitz
