FULL RECAP - TPiR 03/07/2007

[PimpinJC]

Push Over-I thought the price was going to be $9K until I realized it was 5-digit Pushover.  Then, $14,195 was the only reasonable price.

It's in the Bag-$14 for Tidy Cats???  

Cover Up-A great win.  I thought he had lost.

Clearance Sale-Tough.  I thought Amy had won.

Squeeze Play-$7500 looked as the only non-oddball price, and it turns out it was the winning one.  Good for Nicki going against the audience.

That's Too Much-Tough.  Only $562 separated the previous price and the winning price; usually the difference is greater.  Although I knew going past $22K was definitely a loss.

I wish Roger (or whoever makes these decisions) would get the memo that 5-digit Push Over is lame. It's never really that much of a challenge and it just looks dumb. I just don't really think it's a game that adapts well to being a 5-digit game. 5-digit Balance Game is better, if you're going to do this.

[Mallory16]

Disagree.  5-digit Push Over is fun for a change, and generally works well.  There usually are two feasible combinations for the prize, and sometimes even three.  Unless you just don't like that it is generally easier than 4-digit Push Over, I can't imagine how anyone could complain about seeing it.  Kinda' like 5-digit Range Game.  Just cool when it happens.

Push Over: With numbers like those for a five-digit prize that is not a car? I want to really go low on this one. Unless there's a trick by the Dob, I think there is only one choice.

One Bid 2: I'm sure some of us thought Jonathan made a stupid bid here. I guess a stupid bid is voided if a contestant wins with it..

It's in the Bag: "$14.09 for the Tiddy Cats? Jonathan, you ...!" Twice in a row we got a big loss due to contestant lack of knowledge of the Capzasin.

Cover Up: Boy, those two 2s irked me. I knew Tommy would get it wrong on the first try. Then for the third try, I had a feeling he was going to lose because of that last 2. Boy, I stink on this game.

One Bid 4: Man, there's someone I know who would just LOVE to have those dolls. If only they were less than $560.

Clearance Sale: "AGAIN?? BBR TWICE IN A ROW (or a week)?? COOL!"
Well, I knew the $750 would work for the dinnerware. But for a moment, I wanted to put that on the lawn mower, in case that's one of those $980 mowers. But, I would've gone with $1,000 for it anyway.

One Bid 5: I wonder what it would be like if that cue would play for a while if I wanted to do a few games with that table...

Squeeze Play: That cue for the piano sounds like a good alternative to the Race Game music (which, of course, shouldn't be replaced in the first place). Oh, it just seems too obvious to take out the 0. Oh wow, I guess mothers-in-law do know best..

One Bid 6: Oh, two nice ladies have to avoid Banishment! I hate that. Well, when at least one has to go, they have to go. Sorry, Julie...

That's Too Much!: That's So Far Too Much!
I wanted to stop intially at $20,442, but had a hunch for $22,050. I guess whichever one I still went too far.

Showcases: Call me prejudiced, but Tommy just seems like the kind of guy that wants more than one car. However, it was great that he passed (pretty much gave) the first Showcase to Amy.

Push: $14K was the most obvious.

Bag: After a lucky bid, The only other place Jonathan could go was DOWN.   What's it goona take for someone to understand the price of Freakin' Capzasin?

Cover: Tommy scored with a car. I had a hunch there was a win after he chose the 2.

Clearance: The dinnerware was so obvious. The other two left me crossed and so did Amy.

Squeeze: It pays to listen to your in-laws who are LFaT's of TPIR!!

TTM: Looked tough.

Showcases: Amy makes up big time with Tommy passing that Car showcase over to her. Brandi rocked as a HOT mermaid.

Another 3-star.

Push Over was very easy, as there were only two visible prices for that trailer.

Wow, Jonathan makes the silly $1 bid in the first position, ends up winning, and blows It's In the Bag. There was no way the litter was $14.

I don't know if Tommy had a strategy for Cover Up, but it worked out in his favor, so good for him. I would probably do the same thing too, get the first number right, then get the second number wrong on purpose so I can whittle down the last three rows of numbers.

I'm not angry at Amy for putting the $1600 tag on the lawn mower, but I knew it was wrong.

I didn't like how the audience groaned after Nicky finally listened to her mother-in-law by choosing the 4. It was so obvious that was the right number, but if it had been in the third spot instead of the fourth, then it would be forgiveable.

When Paige went on after $20,442 I knew she lost. Vans do look more expensive than they actually are.
