TPiR Recap - 10/21/2014

[ThatDonGuy]

The Time is Money loss does answer one question; the money counts down at exactly $500/second.  (At least, it does now.  I have a feeling the speed has been tweaked at least once.)

[joshlemere]

There are hardly any words to describe the disaster of this show. Some brutal setups (1 Right Price, Check Game), bad gameplay (Time is Money), and unfortunate luck (Cover Up), all resulting in a skunked show. Let's move on...

...but first, congrats to joshlemere for his appearance and making it up on stage! If you could reveal some interesting things that happened today, that'd be cool!

And Adam—is there a way the LOSS for TiM (maybe even the sub-$5,000 amounts) could be red instead of green? It would look better.

Thank you - I am so sad that this was a skunked show, but it was the show I was on so I loved it!  The girl playing TiM didn't know what was going on.  She didn't listen to Drew carefully enough.  She protested and ask to play the 10 second time limit again, but Drew said no.

Also - they are editing out overbids!

On the first IUFB, we had 2 consecutive overbids on the tv.  That's why you see me shout $1 with such pride and emotion!

I was so nervous playing Pathfinder.  I created my original path, envisioning a "5" at the end of the car (ah.....the good 'ole Barker days), but it wasn't meant to be.

When they did the look of the week, Rachel was missing half of her supplies, so it took them about 20 minutes to find the purse and the luggage and they had to re-shoot that entire segment.

Overall, we had an amazing time at the show.  I became great friends with Rhonda (the runner-up) and am looking forward to my trips.  I'll be happy to provide more information if you are curious.

By the way, on my itemized list, the trip to Chicago is nearly as much as the trip to Australia!!

^ I can think of a few reasons the Chicago trip would be that much, but then again I'm not an expert on hotels.

Good to hear you had fun on the show!

Was the tape date listed on the back of your shirt? i noticed the one time you had your back turned, that put that play at home plug on the TV during the 2nd SCSD.

OK..........So I guess they are doing that now. Well, all things considered........And despite them buying more tomato juice to wash away the stink of this episode ( ), you did won some trips, so that's good. Glad you enjoy yourself.

I believe you misunderstood and thought he was talking about showcases (as per the recent thread questioning if they were editing out DOB's), when he was actually talking about one bids - as his next sentence stated. We already knew they were editing overbids in contestants row.

[DJTorgo]

I've never seen Check Game that mean.

I've never seen Check Game that mean.

I believe there was a time late in Barker's tenure as host that there was a prize in Check Game worth $4,000. (And that was when the winning range was $5,000-$6,000)

That contestant who played Time is Money wasn't the fastest contestant I've ever seen. But as Barker might say, she made history by being the first contestant to win $0 in the new version of Time is Money.
And were those pumpkins on the cards at the start of Cover Up?

Yeah, I didn't know that until a 1/2 hour later (Although I did knew about the editing of going over on one-bids, but I got that confused too quickly), then it was too late for me to edit the post.

A budget show...in the middle of October?

Fascinating stuff, sir. Mind you, your entire post was, but these are the portions I wished to quote so I could indeed congratulate you.

Further, I would expect a spinning gold star and "TPIR Alumnus" title to appear under your name in due time.

You could win Check Game with a check with three digits. It was better than this playing, which was magically won, but they still don't know how to set up the game properly.

An episode which, had it not been for the miracle Check Game victory, would have awarded less than $10,000...and without the Big Wheel winnings, just under $7,000.

Well it's skunked show for the second time this month, what in the earth has happened with the contestants, don't have their mind for the guess... I'll should say this is The Price is Not Right.

This is just going crazy and crazy, skunked shows makes the poor episodes all day, well I know this is just hardly and brutal setups, nothing could change as this show could be turned as a disastrous day.

If it happens yet again, the show... I don't know what to say.

6 Games: Tough Break.
Showcases: Good play.

Yes, they were. And I'm betting this is as close to a Halloween Special as we can get this season.

Glad to hear that. The sound they make when there is an overbid in bidder's/contestant's row scared me a little.

Yeah, Pathfinder is one of the hardest games on the Price is Right.

But I'm glad you won and enjoyed your time being on The Price is Right!

Now that the honeymoon phase is over for Time Is Money, I'm going to predict that no contestant will win the full $20,000 this season barring some rule or procedure change.

(With the exception of Big Money Week, where I will predict that they will want to showcase the new game by playing it for $100,000 and setting it up to be easy.)

Or maybe $200,000, since Big Money Week usually increases the top prize of its cash games (except Pay the Rent, which was big enough already) tenfold.
