For anyone familiar with BigJon06's Price, which has some custom games, Spin was kinda like "UpsideRadicalDown", a mishmash of UpsideDown (a quickie like CoG with the same pricing principle as Spin's custom SP portion today) and Radical. What BigJon's Radical does though is have 5 true/false SPs for up to 5 spins of the wheel, and you can cumulatively win more items, lose everything, or win it all in one spin, and can bail at any time:



This is definitely where Spin failed for me as a pricing game: just 1 spin. Granted, she got extremely unlucky, 1/8 for a ZONK, but at the same time it's only 1/4 at the car even with perfect pricing. And there were some decent four-digit cash consolations, but also just some three-digits. One spin is just not a good payoff for a car pricing game after a SP portion, and it was a worst-case scenario today.

The fact they're putting so much effort into unique pricing concepts when adding SPs/GPs to these games is a nice surprise despite the results so far, at least. The SP dual-sided reveal cards were very nicely designed. That said the numbers 3, 4, and 7 can't be used in the "digital upside down" concept (and 0 would be very rare without being trivial), so there are some limitations I think could make the concept a bit stale if used in a permanent pricing game.

I have no idea where that super sexed up bathroom came from... we haven't had an issue like this in years now. It was more than both cars today!! I do not want to see that ever again on a daytime show.

[Roadgeek Adam]

I will say Radical and Upside Down came to my mind immediately with both games, but I think the flaw concept of just 1 spin is what makes me think it couldn't survive on Price. Yes, we get a $1500 bailout option, but there's a chance you can win less in cash by the wheel (like the $100 near the Zonk hit today.) Radical on BigJon's at least gets the option of 5 spins, even with the risk of losing it all.

[TinoStar11]

Wasn't excepting a Prize that like that Bathroom being offered today in Pick-a-Pair.
Most Expensive Non-Car prize ever offered in that game.

[Teddy]

Somewhere out there, BigJon is shaking his head, wondering why he didn't come up with it when he had the chance. But I agree, Go for a Spin was a poorly-executed game with the one spin. However, I like that it borrowed the concept from UpSideDown for the SP pricing portion. At least they did the first game (Car Pong) right; today's game just completely missed the mark. But then again, Hole in One had that same fatal flaw (all or nothing) until that second putt was added 30 years ago.

[Josh444]

Go For a Spin would be a fun pricing game if it wasn't for the one spin. I would have kept a similar structure, but would have awarded an extra spin for each correct SP, as well as the elimination of one of the "zonk/$0 spaces". No correct SP picks would be 0 spins. take out the whole deal element at the end though.

[GameShowKid]

I don't understand why George didn't emphasize the price of the "ultimate" bathroom today, when in other shows he's said things like "It's a prize package (or vacation) worth, get this..., <something barely in the five figures>".  Especially since, as Wayoshi mentioned, its price was greater than that of either car offered in the other pricing games.

Go For A Spin (as played today)? Nah. Go back to LMAD.

[dagdoggnh]

Which TPIR game showed up on LMAD today?  I know it was Cliffhangers yesterday.

That one is really a bit too easy. I'd prefer SP for extra spins, but the board cannot be changed.

[dagdoggnh]

Hole in One

Thank you, TinoStar11.

[Roland]

I think that the pricing portion of Go For A Spin might have potential for a future pricing game (even though you couldn't use prices that contain a 3, 4, or 7). They could even recycle the small prize stand that the used in that game as well.

[brosa0]

I really liked Spin the way it was played, although I think offering $1000 for each correct answer would make the 'bailout' a more genuine option.  Any more than one spin of the wheel would become just as boring as the showcase showdowns are with lots of dead airtime.

[CJBojangles]

I loved Go For A Spin. The pricing portion, and particularly the reveals, were insanely clever. Kudos to whoever came up with that.

Joker's pricing portion says "hi!".
