I'm not sure if the Racing School was only a one-day event, but it seemed odd that there was no hotel or transportation offered with it. Those who live outside of Southern California would likely have significant travel costs to take that prize. I feel that most non-SoCal residents would decline it.

Man...And I thought Marina on Check Out from Monday was snake-bitten. Tyler really was a hard-luck contestant today. Had it not been for that hand vacuum on Shell Game...Even the SCSD didn't give him much love either.

And I think in regards of Shell, I really didn't think that putting PaN 1st (much less, for a car) was a bad idea. Turning a quickie game into quickie car game just to make room for something long-winded like Shell Game sure came off a little anti-climatic.

Also, I'm not gonna waste my "time" (no pun intended) with today's Time Is Money playing.

Nevertheless, there were some good wins today. I saw that Do The Math setup from a mile away. SBS and LEU were decent setups today.

I also was surprised that the Morocco trip on SC2 was gonna be cheap this time, but not as surprised as I was when George said BMW, and I thought it would be a car. Turns out that it was a BMW motorcycle. Did I miss a memo or something? When did that happen?

Had to fix that.

That really was bad luck. When was the last time that has happened in Shell?

I also thought Do The Math was really easy today. I said "minus" before I even saw the difference.

May 23, 2013 to answer your Shell question, and yes, DTM was obvious today. I saw that Time is Money loss coming as soon as she started looking at the audience.

I wonder what made them start the show with Pick a Number for a car. To me it's just a dull way to begin the show, even played for a car. I think starting with Shell Game would've made more sense.

Okay, that was easily the most unintentionally funny episode of The Price Is Right I've ever seen.  Six contestants had the same names as cast members -- there was a John, a Chantel, a Kathleen, a Nicole, a Daniel Goddard, and a Diana.  As if that weren't enough, Chantel and Diana are both either engaged or married to guys named Richard (because if we're covering Rich Fields, I guess we also have to cover Rich Jefferies), and Kathleen's son, Bradley, was at the show with her, celebrating his 33rd birthday in Studio 33.  Honest to God, if I didn't know better, I'd think they'd planted these people.

And since we apparently can't let the weirdness stop there, the lineup also started out kind of nuts, opening with Pick-a-Number for a car and then continuing right into the totally-not-due Shell Game.  It got a little more normal after that, but holy man, that was one goofy episode in the best way possible.
