Why is everyone suddenly downvoting the best game on the show?
Because its exit is long overdue.
You all already prematurely killed the most exciting... don't make me lock the thread and ban people.
To say nothing of the abuse of mod power...
Also...
Umm, no. Tags is a pure test of pricing knowledge. Plinko is pure random chance. That, and Tags can still be won when one of the SPs is incorrectly priced; the same cannot be said for Plinko. As such, the only time Plinko is actually exciting is when all five chips are won, which, since they don't know how to properly set up games half the time, isn't always the case.
So let me see...you want to put through a game in which you:
1) Automatically know that it will be the game played based on where Drew is standing;
2) Must price four SP's, guessing whether each price is true or false;
3) "Prcing" is a stretch, because you don't have to...after all, the SP's are ALWAYS 3T/1F;
4) Finally get to the main board and start selecting prices, one by one, making sure that the model doesn't reveal the actual price prematurely;
5) And in spite of all this, even if you get all four choices up for grabs, you can
still lose.
Sure, Plinko has it's faults; I'll agree with that, but, because of the very fact that it has been so connected to the show, it is an insult to both Plinko and TPIR to put it so low on the list. On the other hand, games like Any Number have the same benefits as Tags (i.e. test of pricing knowledge), more room for error, and if you still lose, you can at least get the middle prize (or a cheeseburger). Plus there's the benefit of being the very first game played on the show. That is also why Any Number is currently on top.
Now that I have provided my discourse on Tags, Plinko and A#, I shall provide my tasteful votes for today. (And for the record, I would save Money Game, but if the next vote is a -2, Money Game would get knocked off anyway.)
