[OldPrice75]

Interesting show today, and 3 1972 games in the same half!  

Flip Flop: Easy enough.

It's In The Bag: Okay, there may be $12.99 olive oil, but Capzasin sure fits a lot better.  I was quite mixed up between the shampoo, the glad, and the cat food.  

Also, it has to be said: that shot of the Glad Wrap was terrible!

Pathfinder: Okay, Julie was definitely not the worst player ever, but it was pretty rough.  Still, $30 seemed a bit cheap for the watch.

Clock Game: It was kinda funny how Bob got tripped up a bit after Brandon stopped saying Bob with every bid.  

Again, I don't know why they showed half of Bob's head and the half of the clock with no numbers right after the first win.  

Any Number: He sure knew how to play this game.  

Double Prices: Since the price reveal got stuck, it apparently didn't know much about the hot tub either.  

SCSD#2- Yay! We did it again!    

Showcases: I liked the second SC.  I don't know what Bettysue was thinking (other than a long time ago).  But I'm glad Brandon won.

...And they didn't even get to the last bag!   If he had gone on and gotten the fourth bag right, then gone on again, it probably would have been 2 minutes longer!

...And the Pathfinder contestant never even got off the first number.  If she went the distance, that could have made for one lengthy first half of the show!

You know, that was just a feel-good show all around. Only one loss today, and this is another one that could go down in the books. How many times now has a Pathfinder player not escaped the first step? That was the only downer of the morning.

But then it seemed like momentum kept building up until we saw that $11,000 win on the Big Wheel. I know momentum is somewhat of a silly thing to mention, but when you get consecutive wins like that, and in the fashion they were won, I knew something big was coming later in the show.

[SteveGavazzi]

Flip Flop was easy.  Both of the wrong prices looked way too low.

I had no idea what the last three bags were in It's in the Bag.

Brandon's saying "Bob" after every bid in Clock Game was interesting initially...but it kinda got annoying when he kept doing it every single time for the first prize.

Dean was clearly a loyal friend and true...he won Any Number in fine style.

Hehe...Double Prices broke!

And speaking of Double Prices, it was also funny when Bob walked over to take a closer look at the spa.

Worst Pathfinder player ever.

That is an utterly ridiculous statement.

I really liked this show... Albertsain was a really fun contestant. I thought Dean played Any Number very well, not just because he won, but the way you could tell he must watch the show a lot.

It's always nice to see $11,000 won on the Big Wheel, too.

[andrew bennett]

"utterly ridiculous"?
$27k for a dodge caravan is ridiculous!
it was on one away for $19k just a day ago!
i knew it was 0 from the start, but that 4 is just evil.

[Mallory16]

Look, we're not saying it wasn't bad.  But to say it was worse than every single other Pathfinder playing in the 19 years of the game's life... yes.  That's utterly ridiculous.  There have been worse playings of Pathfinder before.

Flip Flop: Trips to Asia are expensive, which makes this an easy Flop.

It's in the Bag: I guess we all knew for a fact that the Cat Chow was not $6.99. I wonder what made him to believe that.

Pathfinder: This game was a trap ever since Julie made her first step!

Clock Game: All those bids made me want to say, "That's just how I bid, Bob."

Any Number: It's been a while since I've seen someone win by picking the other 1. Almost an exacta, but great enough.

Double Prices: Sometimes ya gotta do what it takes to make a dull game interesting. If it depends on the capacity or not, I would've picked $5125.

Something made me think there was an edit/recreation when Bob pointed out Brandon's Bonus Dollar. Maybe it's me. Speaking of Brandon, I thought I would see a big total at the end. It's a good thing now that it should have been a corrected total.

But earlier, Frank15 wrote:  I would not have won It's in the Bag today. Even for a loyal viewer, having both $6.99 and $3.99 with the cat food is tricky, since the cat food is frequently either. I picked the $6.99 for the cat food, since shampoo isn't usually that expensive.

In other words whammy, no.

i do believe it was $6.99 sometime recently.

PG #1 - Roger made Flippy very easy today.  South Asian trips are notoriously expensive.

is singapore in south asia?
because the trip to singapore from the pushover blooper win was $3659.

Punchboard91 wondered:  Baggy: ....I don't get it. He was actually thinking about the olive oil for the second bag?

You'd be surprised... olive oil can easily go above $12.99, depending on the brand, and the "purity," for lack of a better word.

but not the kind used on this show. 1 liter of carapelli olive oil has been $5.49 for a long time. when was the last time you saw any other price?
