I'd say it was an alright experiment. One of the things I liked about it is that it reduced the amount of messages in the log, because normally when the show is read out, the log tends to get bigger the longer you're in the chatroom. Without the readout, the log becomes less cluttered with messages, plus it's a bit easier to notice what people are saying; so that's an advantage.
Another thing I liked was the predictability of pricing games. If you're watching the show on a feed, you would be able to see where the player goes on stage before the game is revealed, and you could more easily predict the game. But if you didn't have a feed, it'd be harder to try and guess what game is next, with no hint as to where Drew and the player were, which is pretty fun and challenging. It was also nice to go a day without a chatroom poll or SuperMatch's "Price Was Right" game, since those are pretty regular activities (heck, everything that was restricted today could be considered a regular activity
).
So, yeah, this was a fairly good experiment. Hopefully this can happen again another time.
