It’s in the Bag was … disappointing, to say the least.

[Teddy]

I agree, it always sucks to see It's in the Bag wiped out. But Card Game, of all things, got the only win of the day, and in truly spectacular fashion!

[b_masters8]

I agree, it always sucks to see It's in the Bag wiped out.

True! But to me, such a thing is less disappointing than losing money, because if you wipe out, you have no money to lose.

[gamesurf]

[RCPlanes59]

Speaking of which, this show was so awful, they decided to upload the Bag wipeout as today's noteworthy clip.

[TPIRfan#9821]

This is the first $1K Bag loss since... Sep. 28, 2016? Seriously? It's been that recent?

EDIT: An ace was drawn, but didn't end the game, and they went on to win? Kudos to Tracey for that.

[blozier2006]

Speaking of which, this show was so awful, they decided to upload the Bag wipeout as today's noteworthy clip.

Which in turn makes me question just who is in charge of the channel, if they think it's worthy of posting that way. 

[PatrickRox80]

Guess they don't have "99¢" imprinted on every Arizona can.

[ShootingDio]

Guess they don't have "99¢" imprinted on every Arizona can.

The easiest giveaway to winning $1,000 in It's in the Bag.
Or any other small grocery item/candy that costs less than a dollar.

That was the closest win on Card Game, I expected to be at $20k but dang, that ARP almost killed me for a split second when revealed.

[dmaingame]

True! But to me, such a thing is less disappointing than losing money, because if you wipe out, you have no money to lose.

Same with Grand Game.  A wipeout will earn you $1.00, while picking three products under the target price before picking one of the two that are over and you get nothing and lose the chance to have walked away with $1,000.00.  I seem to only remember a handful of times early in that game's life where contestants took the bailout option.  The most recent I remember was sometime in the late 90s. 

[dmaingame]

Today's show for me was a standard mid-season budget crunch six game murderer's row.  The trip to Montreal at over $8,000 in Pushover shocked me.  2 years ago, I took an 11 day all-inclusive bus tour of the Mediterranean for $1,600.00 less than that 6 night/7 day Montreal trip. 

[GR_Man_9009]

Actually the last time someone took the $1,000 in Grand Game was back on June 25th, 2013 NOT sometime in the late 90s.

[noahproblem]

Which in turn makes me question just who is in charge of the channel, if they think it's worthy of posting that way. 

Perhaps they posted it because that was when Drew announced that Amber was now married?

[SteveGavazzi]

That was the worst playing of It's in the Bag I've seen in a long, long time.

I'm not sure Tracey completely understood how Card Game worked -- it's pretty odd to see someone draw several more cards after using an ace.  On top of that, she also asked Drew how much Melanie had bid on the other showcase, which doesn't really make a lot of sense unless you think they might have gone over and are planning to bid $1.  That said, she was the only person who won her game, and she seemed genuinely excited by the whole experience, so what do I know?

Is it just me, or were the lane lights on Rat Race way darker than usual?
