I have to run some errands this afternoon, so I am posting this now.

[SanAnMan]

That 2 for the Price of 1 was just painful. I can almost forgive the miss of the first digit (unless you know the patterns). But not picking 0 as the last digit was just bad. And question on Pass the Buck, I thought you got one pick for free, did they bail after picking the $5k?

[rowlande]

I know this is nothing new but that’s too much and lucky seven and money game are being played way too much

She only got the free pick like you said, and it was $5,000. She did not win the car, thus it is regarded as a loss. I also agree, 2 for 1 was BAAAAAD

[MrPlinko]

What is the all-time win percentage for "That's Too Much?"  This games low probability of winning, and with the loss of Bob's requiring the contestant to yell "That's Too Much!" with utmost authority, removes all excitement from the game.  Not like it had much excitement in the first place.  If any game needed to be scrapped, this is the one.  It's absolutely painful to watch.  You only have a 1/10 chance of winning!

Now I see where my mistake was, for some reason I thought she had gotten one of the SP's right in PtB.

The all-Time win percentage is 23.6% (104 wins, 337 losses). Plus, I’m fairly certain there’s an unwritten rule that says that the solution isn’t the first or tenth prices, meaning that a contestant’s portability of winning BY STRICTLY GUESSING is 1/8.

And I know that I’m in the minority here, but I actually prefer the contestant not obnoxiously screaming “THAT’S TOO MUCH!”

[Teddy]

Jennifer got extremely lucky in Pass the Buck after bombing the GP section with a $5,000 win. And yes, 2 for the Price of 1 was dreadful to watch with both numbers picked wrong.

[mechamind]

And I know that I’m in the minority here, but I actually prefer the contestant not obnoxiously screaming “THAT’S TOO MUCH!”

Shhhh! Don't tell Bob. 

I'll say it again. Like Card Game, you basically decide on a range in That's Too Much! meaning that in theory, the game should be quite lenient.

[JayC]

Very easy Race Game with the foosball table and ATV being givens. It was just a matter of putting the right prices on the accessories and computer, so at most 2 turns needed.

Pretty easy 2 For the Price of 1 blown. The 8 and 0 were easy choices.

On the other hand, the GP portion of Pass the Buck was quite mean. The crackers/drink combo was especially tough, and I only got the 2nd set since the batteries and Garlique have both been on multiple times recently.

[WOF85]

What is with people botching 2 For The Price Of 1 lately?  That's the second time a person did not put the 0 as the 3rd digit in recent plays.
