TPIR Recap - 10/06/15

Guess this week, we could be getting some pretty average shows, which is not surprising that the show probably did need a cool-down after the last two weeks.

What did stand out today was Ernesto...Something tells me that he might be drinking too much Jolt Cola before being a contestant. Drew's joke during the playing of C-O was quite hilarious.

Well, not to get too elaborate, C-O and Pushy were won. L7 was a tad cruel and short. And MoL was very anti-climatic. And Plinko...Well, what else is new?

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Lineup was good, but pretty meh, win-wise.

Torgo, you do an excellent job with your lineups. The only suggestion I have is to add a WIN or LOSS at the end of each segment like we've had in the past. It would make it much easier to quickly browse the recap for the game outcomes. Other than that, thanks for your hard work!

I love that they've finally fixed their monitors so that the numbers aren't stretching. The Plinko and Showcase monitors look much better now.

Lucky $even: That evil Focus claims another victim.

Do the Math: I thought adding was right; once again, the designer crap rears its ugly head.

Check-Out: Well done!

More or Less: I thought that computer was more; too bad LaShawn did not agree with that.

Push Over: I was torn between $9317 and $7286; good thing Sarah stopped on the latter.

Plinko: $3000 is nothing to write home about, but than again, it's better than nothing.

Showcases: Another instance of two players being way off on their bids. I'd prefer the Jetta Showcase over the boat anyway.

Miscellaneous: While this wasn't a good show, it wasn't bad either. In other words, same old business as usual. However, I think it's interesting to note that three of the pricing games were also from the last Barker MDS with the same results except for Lucky $even, which was won on that show.

What kind of convoluted coincidence is this?

CJ, that's the whole reason I posted the summary at the end; this way, you have all the game results in one concise package.

That More or Less setup seemed like a tough one to me. The computer was "just" $299 more than the shown price, and I think the dishwasher price was also close to $1000, at least relative to the difference between the shown and actual prices of the elliptical.

What a great Check-out win!      I would have lost; my total was too low.

I had a feeling plus was the choice for Do The Math.  Tricky More Or Less setup today.  Only 2 choices were possible for Push Over $7,000 and $9,000.  Fortunately the right choice was picked.  Also I agree that Torgo does a good job with the recaps(and much differently than other moderators in the past have I might add) but I have a different suggestion that would help for stat purposes.  The total winnings for the day should be listed as they were in years past.

Yes, I was also about to suggest that, considering that cash awards in FPG rely on the daily winnings.  And FPG begins again in less than 10 days.

I have no idea how Do the Math was lost today.  I thought that answer was pretty obvious.

Check-Out was probably the highlight of the show.  It's always an exciting game to see somebody win, and Ernesto was a great contestant, to boot.

I'm glad they finally reprogrammed the Plinko scoreboard so that the smaller amounts aren't ridiculously stretched.

However, I think it's interesting to note that three of the pricing games were also from the last Barker MDS with the same results except for Lucky $even, which was won on that show.

Then you think wrongly.  That has absolutely no relevance to anything and isn't interesting at all.

Looks like they also got rid of the unneeded comma, causing the numbers to finally be properly centered.

The directing of that whole segment was strange, though...for some reason, Adam used a couple of crossfades shortly before throwing to George for the first small prize reveal. Came off really awkward. The cues used were also terrible...they didn't even sound like prize cues!
