Coming or Going: Both $5863 and $3685 looked right, but there was something that made me want to pick $5683, and that something was right.

Ten Chances: Again?  This is obviously someone who has no clue about the zero rule.  I had a feeling she wouldn't win the electric guitars.  By the way, I got the first two prices right in one pick each.  :-D

SCSD1: The three contestants had yellow shirts!  I found that very interesting even though I usually don't care about things like that.

One Away: A great EXACTA to see.  I picked $17,695.  Knowing two were right, it would have been a win for me.

SC1  My Bid: $19,655 / ARP: $23,716 / Diff: $4,061
SC2  My Bid: $23,150 / ARP: $30,186 / Diff: $7,036

Coming or Going: I would have lost. The lower price made more sense.

Punch-a-Bunch: Yet again, someone does well with the SPs, but has bad luck on the board.

Ten Chances: HORRIBLE playing.

SSD1: Oh dear, Sharon made it to the Showcase.

Pick-a-Pair: This was played for $11K+ furniture! Too bad it was lost on a tough playing.

One Away: AT LONG LAST, AN EXACTA IN THIS GAME!!! It's about time we had one!

One Right Price: I knew she had lost when she chose the dinnerware, but I was shocked that it was very expensive.

Showcases: Sharon should've gotten a furniture/spa showcase, not a $30K boat/trip showcase. Oh well. Maybe she blew Ten Chances on purpose because all she wanted to win on the show was a boat, and she won one here. Go figure.

Overall: Average.

Happy Birthday Heels!!!!

CoG: WHAT THE HECK?!!! :-o  :-o  :-o That was a "Out of the Blue" price that caught me totally off-guard and its won too!!

Punchy: $250....well at least $50 took a break!!! :-P

10 Chances: Maybe "The Golf Game" would've suit her better. :lol:

P-a-P: Those products were simply described as KILLER!!!

One Away: Karen scored very well!!! GREAT JOB!!! :-)

1RP: Oh well.

Showcases: Sharon (despite 10 Chances never being her game) comes back with a neat bid earning her her boat.

A 2.75 show.

I have no idea how Coming or Going was won today.  Danielle totally stopped the Dob by "going."

Ten Chances was a trainwreck...but at least it was a fast trainwreck!

Poor Becky...needed a bedroom group, played for one in one of the easiest games on the show, and got stuck with the hardest Pick-a-Pair setup in about 10 years.  At least she won $1,000 on the Big Wheel.

One Away was awesome.  The sound people deserve major props for the fake-outs they were doing with the horns.

How the hell does dinnerware cost almost $3,000?!

Today's Ten Chances certainly wasn't one of the best. However, it doesn't crack the Ten Worst Ten Chances Playings, not by a long shot. What makes a playing of Ten Chances get REALLY bad is if they don't know the Zero Rule, and they take FOREVER to do it. Today's playing at least moved right along.


Totally agreed.  The game was played badly today, but at least you could watch it without wanting to strangle the contestant.

Miss two episodes in a row because I screwed up, shame on me, twice...

Coming or Going: I wanted to go high on this one, but wanting the price to end in 5, too. I went with my first instinct.

Punch-A-Bunch: For a travel mug that has a heating perk like that, I would pay more than $20 for it.

Ten Chances: If your first two chances are prices that do not end in 0, then it's obvious you HAVE NOT WATCHED THE GAME BEFORE, or listened to some (nouns) in the audience who do not know the logistics of the game. At the start of the guitars (well, really just a little bit before that), I thought Sharon was on the right track. Boy I was so wrong about that. I was groaning and saying 'Oh God' so many times during the break.

Pick-A-Pair: Well, I thought the supplement was $6.99. I think it really WAS $6.99 a while back.

One Away: "I don't want to." did it for me. Then the exacta enhanced that.

1 Right Price: Okay, my absolute strongest instinct tell me the 1 right price belongs to the treadmill because the dinnerware would be a little less than that. Well, I was right on the initial, but I never would have thought dinnerware would be more expensive than a treadmill.

Showcase Showdown 2: If only Jodi and Karen had an extra bite of breakfast....
Sometimes you can just tell when a contestant will not win any bonus money.

Showcases: Some good Showcases with a good trip and a form of transportation. Either one will benefit with one. Like it.

Happy cake day, heels! :D

Not really a good show today-oh it had its moments, but overall it was sorta blah.

Coggy: Oy, there's you a random grandfather clock.

Punchboard: Meh, $250. It's been a while since we've seen anyone win even $1000 here.

Ten Chances: Wha? Didn't we just play this a few days ago? Awful awful playing.

Pick-a-Pair: That's one expensive bedroom. Pappy was downright hard today. That's something you can't say too often.

1RP: Sheesh, 1RP sure has been played a lot lately.

Anyone going for 25 prizes and two groceries worth $134,872?

The biggies are proving elusive on Punchboard, and for once someone needs a boat.

first about the boat...

I think she said something like "I really need this boat, we're in the desert".  I hope she wasn't being sarcastic.

Heels, I hope you're doing ok and all.  I didn't know it was your birthday today; so a belated Happy Birthday to you! :-)

Hmm, I didn't think it was such a great show; a near miss combined with one of the worse Ten Chances playings...  I'd have to give it 2.5 also.

One Away was fantastic however!  I also was enjoying the Showcases today... It seems so unlikely for a guy to keep a Diary though, don't you think?  I know two guys who ever did, and they're Doug and Doogie Howser.

You know, the Second Showcase Showdown was really intriguing [for me] today.  Right before I saw it, I paused the show for whatever reason and watched old clips of SSSD's from j-shea.com .  I noticed how Bob was saying "Look at this!  Look at this!  One Dollar!!" as the contestant hit a dollar on the Big Wheel.  Right after that I witness the Showdown and wouldn't you know, we get a 1,000 dollar winner today!  Bob basically said the same thing in 2007 he said in 1980.  Pretty neat!

I watched this episode in the studio... Pick-a-Pair was even more heartbreaking to watch the second time. I winced when the price of the supplement was revealed even though I already knew she was going to lose. And then Becky gets beaten in the showcase after Sharon makes a sarcastic remark about how she doesn't need to win a boat... that was a bummer.

Yeah, I think she said that she could really use that boat cuz she lives in the desert.

Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

That's what I thought too!  It's very unfortunate that she had to say that, and she really shouldn't talk with the way she played Ten Chances.  

It burns me when audience members rely on the audience too much.  Sometimes a contestant just has to use common sense, even without knowing the 0 rule most people would at least have gotten a chance to guess the car.

Johnny Olsen said it to contestants himself, "use your own judgment.  If you're just going to ask the audience what to do then they'd have called the other 320 people to be contestants."

Coming or Going-That clock was actually $5863???  Good lord, that's an expensive clock!

Punchboard-Well, $250 is at least a step-up from last time's $50 winnings.  Too bad he couldn't win more.

Ten Chances-That playing was absolutely pathetic.  She totally ignored the 0 rule completely.  At least she played it fast enough to not be agonizing to watch.

Pick-a-Pair-Poor Becky got stuck with an extremely hard Pick-a-Pair setup.  I see they even put the squeegee back in this game.  She was a great contestant and I wanted to see her win.

One Away-Yay, an EXACTA!  An impressive win to relieve the losses.

1 Right Price-I knew that price wouldn't go on the dinnerware, but I had no idea it would be more than $2000.

Showcase-Uhoh, $16,000 won't even cover the automobile...
