[Teddy]

The East Coast feed was interrupted by a news bulletin on the Pacific Northwest train wreck that occurred after the first SCSD, so we missed out on a great Stack the Deck win and a dollar in the second SCSD.

[SanAnMan]

Very nice to see Stack the Deck (or as I hatefully refer to it "Suck the D*ck") perfectly played and perfectly won. I can't remember the last time the contestant got all 3 SP's right and then used them to take the last three numbers in the car like that. Textbook playing.

[blozier2006]

(or as I hatefully refer to it "Suck the D*ck")

One of my best friends calls it "Stack the Sh*ts"

[b_masters8]

You show the $600 difference in Bargain Game for the desk/computer, as compared to the $1200 difference for the washer/dryer, as a win-- shouldn't that be a loss?

[Roadgeek Adam]

It was a win. I put the wrong item as being picked

The last Contestant to Correctly guess all 3 Grocery Items , then pick the last 3 Numbers in Stack the Deck,  and win , 6/22/16

[b_masters8]

Gotcha! Correction noticed.

That is a rarity to get a win on Stack the Deck as it is considered one of the harder pricing games to win.

[jaywilliams]

A $28k 3-wheeler roadster being played for in Secret X was quite a rare prize to see, not to say pretty expensive for a pricing game like Secret X, although the prize was lost.

[GameShowKid]

I'll probably watch the pre-empted part of the show tomorrow.

A $28k 3-wheeler roadster being played for in Secret X was quite a rare prize to see, not to say pretty expensive for a pricing game like Secret X, although the prize was lost.

I would say that "the powers that be" really wanted it won, with the Secret "X" being in the center.

Also, I think Drew did a good job with Temptation today. Good explanations, tying the gifts to the holiday theme, skipping the fourth digit for suspense. And hey, I agreed with his thoughts on the $800 camera. Nice, or at least nice-looking.

[TPIRfan#9821]

SLLLLLINGSHOT! I really don't know why I like the slingshot, but it was there.

Also, ouch for not realizing that the hair remover was pretty much an As Seen on TV item. Not a bad start for this week.

[Plinkoman]

Stack the Deck was won? It's a Christmas miracle.

[Flerbert419]

Also, I think Drew did a good job with Temptation today. Good explanations, tying the gifts to the holiday theme, skipping the fourth digit for suspense.

This is what I was going to post. Skipping the fourth digit when the fifth was obviously right given the 1/5 choice was truly active hosting and demonstrated high situational awareness.

[SteveGavazzi]

Stack the Deck (or as I hatefully refer to it "Suck the D*ck")

How about you don't anymore, at least on here?

There are a lot of off-color nicknames for games that I'm okay with seeing on this site.  This isn't one of them.
