Yay for Bob pointing out how anti-climactic Clearance Sale's price reveal is
! I loved it!
It will always annoy me when a contestant claims to know a pricing game, like Donald did with Hit Me, then go on to prove he has absolutely no idea what he's doing. The 10 was obviously the pineapple, and the ace was obviously either the cookies or the Pamprin. The Tums was obviously neither, yet he chose that first, anyway, getting a 4. Now that he needed a 6, it was time to look at the other products in the top row, and pick the one that would most likely be a 6--the Garlique. Instead he ignores that, and picks the pineapple, which is obviously 10. OK, he could
still pick the Garlique to win! But no, he picks the Pamprin for the ace, putting him at 15, and at this point he could
still win by just picking the stupid Garlique for a 6! But no, he stupidly goes for the cookies! At which point I was hoping he'd still go on just to see him bust, since it's probably been over a decade since a contestant lost Hit Me by busting. Would've been so much cooler than the regular Hit Me loss we got.
As opposed to Joyce, who was very enjoyable. For one, I like when a contestant can admit they have no idea what they're doing, and for two, Check Game is actually more fun when such a contestant plays it: like it or not, folks, that's part of Check Game's charm!
I would have lost Five Price Tags, except that I remembered the mp3 player being $99 on Game Show Marathon the other day. So while I won playing at home, I would have lost had I been the contestant playing when this was taped.
Still though, yay Five Price Tags! Gotta' enjoy whenever it pops up!
And yay for Ida the intern! I bet interns everywhere wish they could take over like that!

Uh... aren't spas and hot tubs the same thing?
