[Swingbatta0]

My two cents:

1/2-Off: Tough break. So close, too!
Pick a Number for a car: Tough break there, too. 'Nuff said.
Danger Price: Great win! (too bad it's the only win of the season)
Side by Side: I knew that wave runner was expensive (life jacket and trailer or no). Too bad this contestant did not.
Hole in One: Tough break. 'Nuff said.
2 for the Price of 1: Same as Hole in One and Pick a Number.

Showcases: Truth be told, I don't think either of them is any good in my books.

[PriceBusterXL]

Aside from Danger being won, the rest of the show took a nosedive. Shame about Hole, 241, and PaN.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

A less-than-average 1/6-er today, mostly littered with bad luck.

[Roadgeek Adam]

Recap is up.

[Cephas]

It's a treat to see Hole thrice in a month!

Drew has been a roll on the inspiration putts...two in a row!

[SilverFirePrime]

I'm not sure why, but I really like PaN when played for a car.   That being said, let's keep it to a minimum, since there can always be too much of a good thing.

[moneygamelover]

Half Off: Bummer of a way to start. I do wonder which two boxes would have been eliminated if today's contestant had gotten the third set of SPs. I noticed that after two sets of SPs the boxes left were the two lowest and two highest numbers. I have a hunch 1 and 16 would have been the last two standing and considering today's contestant went high and picked 15 I think he'd have picked 16 and won with 1 and 16 in play had that been the case. Bummer. At least the Samsung smartphone was a nice contestant's row prize.

Pick a Number: Playing it for a car does spice it up. It's a shame the Mazda 3 sport wasn't won. That Mazda looked beautiful on TV in its glorious red. This felt like a crapshoot to me.

Danger Price: Between the TV and the gas grill as the spin bike and ping pong table were clearly less expensive than the danger price. I would have won this by avoiding the TV as well. Great to see a win. Sad it was the only one of the day. The TV was a fantastic prize and the best prize of the lot. The gas grill was also a wonderful prize. The spin bike was alright. As a loner I'd have no use for a ping pong table. Overall a pretty strong prize package.

Side by Side: Setup to be won. Watercraft, especially quality brands like Yamaha, are pretty expensive. I'm not a watercraft person at all but it's still disappointing to see this setup blown, especially with the way the rest of the show went.

Hole in One: Although I knew that shampoo was pretty cheap, I too would have had to putt from the backmost line. Those beans really fooled me as I had guessed 99 cents for them. Really unfortunate the Nissan Versa S wasn't won.

Two for the Price of 1: I would have lost this in the exact same way as today's contestant. I believe in taking the tens digit as the free digit in this game but I too though 8 was the hundreds digit. Disappointing that the nice Sony Camcorders and nice Cayman Islands trip weren't won. Tricky setup in my opinion.

Showcases: The Ford Fiesta showcase was the better showcase and I'm glad it was won.

Lineup: Very good. I'm not a Half Off fan because of how luck based it is. Pick a Number is an okay game as long as it's kept out of the lead off hitter and closer roles and playing it for a car spiced it up to make it a good game. But Danger Price, Side by Side, and Hole in One or Two are all favorites. Two for the Price of One is a an enjoyable game and makes a nice change of pace, both in showing up and in being a closer.

Overall: Below average. Even with a very good lineup a 1 fir 6 show just isn't that good a show. Seeing a car showcase won did at least bump my rating up from bad to below average.

[INSERT NUMBER HERE] = $44,950

That was an accident. I thought I added it, but I didn't.

[Mallory16]

Side by Side: Setup to be won. Watercraft, especially quality brands like Yamaha, are pretty expensive. I'm not a watercraft person at all but it's still disappointing to see this setup blown, especially with the way the rest of the show went.

Nothing with a price of $9679 is ever set up to be won when used in Side by Side. Never. There is no prize where $9679 looks better than the perfect-looking $7996.

[CheckGameMeBob]

I don't have much to say here, but the phrase of the day is gut wrenching.  A few games should have been won today, but it wasn't meant to be.  Bummer.  Also, the showcases were really lackluster today.  If I had to pick one, it'd be the Fiesta and the Norway trip (I really want to see some of Scandinavia).  The territory up there is breathtaking.
