I know that the show is hurting from last week, but my word, there was no need to make Hole in One that hard for such a cheapo car. I mean, wow, that was hilariously cheap. Listen guys, I know there are still cars that low in price, but the show was offering $13K cars on the regular
20 years ago. I think it's time to move on. For the record, I doubt they chose this car for this game because of what happened last week. I thought they plan out the shows and prizes weeks in advance, so it just happened to line up that this cheap
thing appeared after the big week last week.
Great wins to open up the show. Definitely thought Memphis would be the bigger Bargain. Not a Dobstopper, but certainly nowhere near a gimmie. Card Game was good. Good range. Good cards picked. Good place to stop. It was satisfying to see someone play it well.
Listen, I know that was a Presidential Suite with a first class flight, but still. That was an outrageous price for four nights. I knew the RedRock was nice, but damn, I wasn't it expecting it to be that nice. I get why the show put it in there. It's a nice looking trip and when everybody hears the price, they'll ooh and ahh, and it'll get them to come back to see what other nice prizes they have. The show then doesn't have to pay out because they know that people are likely not going over on Showcase 1 and their difference will be less than that of Showcase 2, so they can show the nice stuff off without having to pay for it. But it just seems... disingenuous, to offer something you know is likely not going to be won.
"Not enough time" to show the inspiration putt?? If that was the case, wow. It feels like something is missing from the game without it.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that might've been the first time they cut out an inspiration putt in Hole in at least a year, if not longer. I think they showed every inspiration putt last season. I remember because for about half of the season, every time Drew made his putt, a contestant would lose and everytime he didn't, a contestant would win. Also, Drew did pretty well last season, making a lot of them (5 in a row it looks like from Scorpz).
Re: Loren's total, someone must've forgotten to add in the $55 for the toaster.
But the toaster was $30...
I think you're mishearing him. -72 can sound very close -17 when the sound mix doesn't come through well on the TV. I couldn't tell myself on my TV, but listening to it with headphones on Drew does say -72 to me.
