Well, this was interesting. Not great, but interesting to watch as a one-time deal. I enjoyed it most for the uniquness of it all, and less so as an actual episode of The Price is Right. If anything, it proves that, even if the show is a bit rushed nowadays, it would be a lot worse for them to cut down to three games in an hour-long period. I mean, some of the banter with Ricki was nice, but there was just that's too much of it.
And how was Ricki? Decent. A bit more hyper than Bob, but then, I guess having celebrities for contestants will turn that up, but I can't say Ricki did too bad a job. Except for her explanation of Race Game's rules, which confused me. From this one show, I can't say I'd want her to take over for Bob anytime.
The showcase showdown was stupidly done. I mean, if they were going to use the big wheel, wouldn't it have been a lot simpler to just have the two highest scorers get into the showcase, instead of the whole "the two without the highest score will have a spinoff, unless there's a tie for the highest score" thing?
Then again... showcase showdown arrow! Yay! Daytime show, you should ask Game Show Marathon if you could borrow that
!
Putting a commercial break between the prize for Hole in One and the start of Hole in One itself was really bad.
As a fan of Life Savers, I have never in my life seen them for over 80¢, even at expensive convenience stores. Where'd they manage to find that 85¢ roll
?
The 1964 Mustang is probably the most freakin' random prize ever offered in a showcase. From the price, I guess it's around $30,000, but I really had
no clue how much it might've been! Turns out I underbid by quite a bit.
pricefan18 shocked everyone with: It means they EDITED OUT THE SECOND SHOT [in Hole in One].
...
You're kidding. With all the extra unimportant talking throughout the entire show, they had the
nerve to edit the gameplay itself?! Even though there was absolutely no reason to?!?! ARGH!!!
I mean, come on! Even a lot of casual fans will know something's wrong with that, since a lot of casual fans actually know that you're supposed to get two putts in that game!
And now, I have to wonder if Ricki Lake actually
did do an inspiration putt, but if that was edited too. Ricki really should have done an inspiration putt... they could've even talked during that.

Yes. I can't believe he did that, but then, he looked bored during the second calldown as well. I can't believe they'd actually deliberately get that on camera.

Nitpicking?! I'm sorry, but editing out the second putt in Hole in One is something
big! If my little sister, who rarely watches The Price is Right, complains about it, there's something wrong!
heelsrule1988 didn't write: drooling over any contestants.
You're kidding me! Paige Davis! Hello?
