Punch-a-Bunch looked like it was heading towards a similar end to the $200 Plinko playing earlier this week, but at least Jay-R did have a second $2,500 slip for his last punch.

Tough One Away- $19,253 didn't look correct.

Not sure why Devin thought $10,000 for the British Columbia trip in Balance Game, it's not that far a flight from California and Canada trips are usually not super expensive. I'm surprised they made the third bag so much more than the other two.

Looks like Drew's explanation of Do the Math didn't help Martha.

Not sure I get the change of grocery product display in Stack the Deck. It's not seen on screen that long and the transition from the one set to the next is too quick to be that noticable. Too much bright yellow also.

True that; but the way the grocery products are arranged now (one on the left, one on the right, with the right price in between them) is more like One Right Price than the former setup was.

Drew hosted Do the Math well. Despite the loss, it was a fun playing.

Said it before and will say it again, Stack the Deck needs easier setups. It's 3 for 23 over the past 2 seasons. Only 4 of 23 contestants scored all three numbers, and two of them won the car.

The new elevator is cool in theory, but we barely see it. It does little to alleviate the pain of seeing a car lost because the contestant was off by $5.
Quote from: Bill Todman
"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

I liked the new product display prop in Stack The Deck. It reminded me of the old wheel prop in Pick-A-Pair. And I don’t mind the new small screens to show the prices and product names; less printing on paper to do & at least they kept the old font (unlike in 3 Strikes).

Tough loss though. I too picked a “9” for the last digit.

I gotta be honest with you on this-- I was hoping that at least one game would be won outright. The reason why is because the show is on a DVR schedule for me, and if at least one game is not won, the show is deleted; I strongly desire to see big wins, or wins of any sort, and if there are none, that day's show is deleted, without so much as a second thought.

Call that extreme if you will, but I really enjoy seeing wins!

I'm giving a thumbs-up to the new grocery display in Stack the Deck. Still don't like the game though, but the grocery display is very neat and clean, and like the other person mentioned, the carousel effect reminds me of the original carnival-style Pick a Pair.
