[The Last Outlaw]

It may have been a decent show, but the worst way (IMO) to end an episode of The Price is Right is with a Double Overbid.

[RatRace10]

Hawaii only got the last 10 minutes of the show today due to the presidential news conference.

[LiteBulb88]

Switcheroo: Another textbook example of how not to play. Why would you place the car's digit first? You're so much more likely to be able to get the SPs right than you are the car's price.

Magic #: Set up for an easy win.

Make Your Move: Set up for a loss. That was an expensive trip to Maui.

[RatRace10]

Yet again, the car digit in Switcheroo is an ugly-looking repeating digit so people won't pick it.

Okay, so I started watching TPIR again this week because of obvious reasons. While I love the updated games, like Side by Side, and the new(er) games like Vend-O-Price, I have to say: Drew Carey is hosting like it's 2008. No enthusiasm, mocking the small prizes "who wants a fondue maker?", and the particularly aggravating "well at least you got the jewelry cleaner" after a loss. In addition, every time there's a contestant who just begs for some interaction, he just rushes to the pricing game to get it over with. It's a shame, because so many of the updates to TPIR have improved the show a lot, but the host has regressed.

I have split this into a new thread so as to not detract from the recap discussion.

While I'm here I might as well offer my comments on the episode.

-Switcheroo: Credit to Susan for actually switching three and only three items. Many times I've seen contestants only change one or two. Too bad she didn't get the car, though.
-Magic #: What a huge spread. This must be the one game that continually churns out forced wins.
-Gas Money: Surprised that $4000 was behind the most expensive price, as that's the one contestants usually pick first.
-And there's nothing worse than ending the show on a double overbid.
