I live in NH so for me one of trips in Do the Math would be a trip back home.

Same for me, fellow Granite Stater!

[Gameshowgenius26]

I would've chosen the exact same numbers that Shaniece chose in Lucky 7! Thank heavens she won it outright! As for Ashley, I would've easily stopped on the 3rd number there without a second thought! Flip flop though, I would've lost the exact same way that Todd did, banking on the office group being $6,000+ and not $8,000+ because I thought that was way too much.

[Teddy]

Good thing Shanice did not say 5 on the last number because with $4 left, she would've lost.

[Casey]

Good thing Shanice did not say 5 on the last number because with $4 left, she would've lost.

Or that she didn't say 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, right?

[ThomHuge]

Or that she didn't say 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, right?

He posts this exact same drivel in every recap thread (including three in the last hour alone). Tiresome, isn't it?

[TPIRfan#9821]

Yay That's Too Third! and a harsher Flip setup with the 3D printer.  However, the most notable part of the episode was having two people on Contestant's Row with the exact same t-shirt. Now, I don't know if I should really take the effort of making a custom t-shirt or just buying that one with Drew's face several times over it.

There's always something to analyze from every episode of TPiR; even the most boring lineup going 1 for 6 usually has something to talk about. However, there shouldn't be an obligation to discuss on every episode, especially if it is a fact that can be inferred by simply reading the recap. Sure, there aren't any rules against it, but restraint helps make each individual post stand out, and in general give off a better impression of yourself.

Darn it, KIRO-TV (alongside with what I take are all CBS stations in the Pacific and most Mountain Time Zone) preempted this episode. X(

Also, Todd's difference in the showcase should be familiar to viewers of the original Press Your Luck series.

I must have been lucky! My CBS station - KEPR - in southeastern-central Washington showed it in its entirety without any interruption that I saw. What did KIRO show in place of it?

Nice Lucky $even win despite her guess of 5 earlier. I thought Hi-Lo was tricky, I would have lost it differently than Feras did.

[jlgarfield]

^ News coverage.

[bigblue999]

Also, Todd's difference in the showcase should be familiar to viewers of the original Press Your Luck series.

I don't get it.

[ThomHuge]

I don't get it.

I believe this is a reference to the infamous $470 (and a spin?) square on the classic PYL board.

Perhaps the next time jlgarfield (or anyone else for that matter) wants to make an obscure reference like that, you could explain it for the rest of us?

(Folks, we had to work hard enough to get people to stop doing clickbait titles around here...that was annoying enough, but this worse, and also isn't the first time in recent memory I've had to turn to Google to figure out what someone was referencing. We don't want to replace one annoying habit with another.)

[jlgarfield]

^ Yeah. Sorry about that. XD BTW, the $470 space in the original PYL appeared in the first round only and did not come with an extra spin/

I was just disappointed that KIRO-TV would not air this episode. Did anybody else living in the Pacific/Mountain Time Zone not see this ep?
