Small Cosmetic Change occurred today during Hot Seat.
The Right Price of the Small Prizes now has Higher or Lower with it.

I preferred how they edited the first part of Hot Seat today compared to the previous playings.  Today they just stayed zoomed out on the contestant, which made it easier to follow the contestant's thought process, whereas previously they cut to a close up of each podium as the contestant moved down the line which made the game feel too edited.

Grocery Game: The new $20-22 range would have benefited Cassandra if she had picked one more tomato sauce. (She'd have had $21.93.) She'd have also won had she gone with the olives as her third pick and bought two ($15.96 plus two olives at $2.29 each).

You surely get nervous every time a contestant draws to within a few cents of the low end of the target range ($20), especially when you know buying even one of one the remaining items will put you over (i.e., automatic loss). At least you have a fighting chance with the new rules ... just got to pick the right item, or enough of the right item. Didn't happen today ... maybe next time.

On a side note and nothing to do with the game itself ... I don't know about you, but myself I'm not a fan of pepperoni pizza with olives (as the lone other topping). I'd go with onions and/or green pepper myself? What say you?

Also, to Jay:

Great job so far on the recaps this season, and for all your work on the episode database. An observation:

For the Hot Seat gameplay description, maybe you do this and I'm not seeing it, but any chance of putting the order of Hot Seat stops? Or how is this read? Any help is appreciated.

I'm reading it as top-to-bottom on the page (for today's episode, Iron-Cone-Popper-Vac-Lights, in that order). That correct, Jay?

With all the editing and retakes they do these days, I'm surprised they didn't catch Drew referring to the 5 SPs in Hot Seat as "grocery items." :-o

When the only full win in the past two shows is a super heavily edited Money with no time to even celebrate said win, you're not producing very well.
S5x... the show's stabilized into something decent now, I guess...

For recap purposes, a gazebo was not offered. The sauna has a gazebo roof.

The tallest "stack" is the first, 2nd tallest is 2nd, etc. Also, under THERMOMETER, the first "stop" is for $500, 2nd for $1,000, etc.
