TPIR Recap - 09/28/15 (Perfect Show)

[heelsrule1988]

Bruh.

I mean...

...bruh.

That may well have been one of the best editions of this wonderful show that I've ever seen. Not even an exaggeration, either. Going strictly off of winning and not special moments unrelated to gameplay, this one was an absolute MASTERPIECE. Six shows in and we might already have our Show of the Season winner.

An addendum to my earlier post: I love the cue that was used in 3 Strikes, but it just does not work for me in a pricing game.  I miss the days of the Big Banana.

Well... I thought that last week's season premiere was awesome.  Today just continued the streak of awesome shows.  A perfect show with 3 Strikes in the lineup!  Roger, when was the last time we had 3 Strikes in a perfect show?

Since I was in the audience for today's show, a few thoughts...

First off, I was really rooting for Rebecca to make it out of CR. She was next to me in line and incredibly sweet and gracious when I dropped my drink and it got all over her feet.

Daniel was directly behind me in the audience and the guy who I figured was going to be picked when we were in line. He was near the front while we were in the waiting area outside the studio and doing high fives down the row on both sides as he went back to the men's room. One of other members of Team Seattle mentioned in a break that they had a scooter and now they were going to have to get a fourth so they could all go out together.

Steven's coming down to Contestants Row was a pickup, and maybe it's because I know that, but the edit felt very obvious watching it on the air. His wife was laughing about the trip to Montreal in his showcase after the taping.

Thanks to where I was sitting, I was able to identify 3 Strikes during the break. I could see just enough of the side of the prop around the Giant Price Tag to recognize the shape.

The robotic vacuum tried to launch itself off the platform as the bidding started. I kind of wish it had happened a few seconds earlier because I'm sure he would have had fun with it. Also, one of the monitors on Home Base had to be fixed mid-show, but it was in the top corner, so it wasn't obvious.

Overall, I ended up watching a great show, with the perfect show and the big win, and the 50/50 endings to 3 Strikes and Let 'Em Roll. I laughed at Drew's "Let's give away the whole show" at the end of the first SCSD because I didn't remember that from the taping and considering how the show ended up, I actually was expecting a DSW by the end. (I bid $32,000 for the Veloster showcase, which would have been painfully close to one if it had actually counted.)

Wow first time Ive seen someone win a pricy >$40K car on price is right in a long time. I rewatched that game. It was so good.

Is it just me or does it sound like George is being broadcast through some awesomely bad mono speaker system?

YES. I noticed this last week, but I thought the sound from his mic was purposefully being altered for the occasion. I haven't watched today's show, but I'm guessing he has a new mic or something, and if it sounds anything like it did last week, it's something they really need to correct sooner rather than later. It clashes horribly with the rest of the audio, especially on my surround system.

It was actually October 15, 2008. That was, of course, in Season 37 when the rules changed almost every playing and they went back to normal priced cars. That show featured the sole win for 3 Strikes that season and the last playing it received that season.

What a fantastic show. Top to bottom. Obviously, when Strikes was won, it seemed like something could happen. When Let 'em Roll was won with two rolls, it really seemed like it was meant to happen.

Great aggressive lineup. It was nice to see someone play Freeze Frame so quickly. They usually look out into the audience and take forever. She just looked quickly and pulled.

Can't wait to see if Wednesday's show is a dud or just not as good as today's.

[Kirsten Vaccaro]

Great show today & Drew did a great today as host.

[Flerbert419]

Good show - I don't think it will go down as one of the best perfect shows, but having 3 Strikes involved does make it special. Drew was also very much on top of the fact that there was a chance for it.

Deborah clearly had no idea what she was doing as she tried to make it a $20k car but she lasted long enough to figure it out. I would rather see another model car than completely load up a more basic model.

I would have switched both of the car cues.

The last GP in Let 'Em Roll is the kind of prize I am afraid of showing up in Vend-O-Price, because one tricky item out of the three will make the game very easy to lose. If something looks more expensive than it is, it will get chosen and be wrong. If something looks less expensive than it is, it won't get chosen and will be correct.

Drew should have revealed the rest of the prizes in Take Two.

Also, one of the monitors on Home Base had to be fixed mid-show, but it was in the top corner, so it wasn't obvious.

This is one of the dangers of introducing more technology - potential for costly stopdowns.

I know that some of you prefer recaps in text format (for ... reasons), so the .PDF allows you to copy and paste in a text format of your choosing.

The recaps need to be in text format so that the Search functions properly. It is unrealistic to expect everybody to maintain their own databases for searching. I hope if you get chosen we can find a way to make this work in text form. Also, it looks like you forgot to indicate who modeled what throughout the show.

Seconded. Plus, the text comes out cleaner when it's not a screenshot of an image.

I didn't forget. I just don't care.

I wanted to embed the PDF directly, but Chelsea needs to enable that feature. The text of the recap would thereby appear in a search.

Were you guys this critical when the other candidate auditioned?

I was, yes. His recaps used way too many words. I was just on vacation and thus wasn't around to actually say so.

I may as well be the one to ask...why was it reshot?

I wanted to embed the PDF directly, but Chelsea needs to enable that feature. The text of the recap would thereby appear in a search.

And if the PDFs disappear at some point in the future, I am reasonably certain the recap text would vanish as well.
