[GameShowKid]

Such an easy setup in Bullseye. Kristen did exactly what I would have done.

Fantastic wins in That’s Too Much and Lucky $even!!

[Gameshowgenius26]

Today's show pretty much made the last 3 days look like crap! Especially the wins in That's too much (which I would not have won myself) and Lucky 7!

[htmlcc92]

It’s definitely a treat to see 5 out of 6 games won on a normal, non-themed episode, especially with that price in Lucky $even! It’s been quite a while, it seems, since that many games have been won on a normal episode.

[GR_Man_9009]

If Hot Seat had been won, we would have had a perfect show

[Gameshowgenius26]

If Hot Seat had been won, we would have had a perfect show

True, but the heated mug and the diffuser would've been my Achilles heel that time. And, if Brandon had gone one more time and stopped there, he would've had $10,000. Regardless, I'm still glad that he won his Showcase. 

[Grand_game2004]

Boy, that was a huge win on Bullseye, I'll give you that, because that's as close as I've seen anyone get to the $12 dollar mark in the $10-$12 range.

[LiteBulb88]

TTM: A win!

Bargain Game: I was stunned that the trip to Salt Lake City was more expensive than the trip to Atlanta, given that Atlanta is more than 3 times farther from LA than SLC is.

Lucky $even: EXCELLENT win in a setup that was meant to be lost. Good for Debra for not calling 5's and recognizing the last digit could be an 8!

Hot Seat: This game, maybe more than any other, really needs the contestant to be mic'ed. At first, I thought Brandon was just nodding yes or no when Drew asked him if he wanted to continue, but then we just barely heard him actually say it.

[SilverFirePrime]

Results aside (which were great), the order of the games was fantastic.  I'm now convinced that Hot Seat forever needs to only be played as the last game.  I love when a longer game closes the lineup and that's one of the few games that is guaranteed to get a lot of airtime dedicated to it, win or lose.

[TPIRFan2000]

If Hot Seat had been won, we would have had a perfect show

Wow. My mind is incapable of processing this utterly mindblowing fact. I'll be sure to come back here in a few days when my bemusement ends.

[Declan127]

TTM is officially better than stack the deck.

[EvilChameleon]

Any show where That's Too Much and or Lucky Seven are won is a perfect show in my book.   

[Flerbert419]

Hot Seat: This game, maybe more than any other, really needs the contestant to be mic'ed. At first, I thought Brandon was just nodding yes or no when Drew asked him if he wanted to continue, but then we just barely heard him actually say it.

Agreed, but I think it also speaks to how much Drew relies on the lapel mics to do the heavy lifting throughout the show instead of his own.

[RatRace10]

Agreed, but I think it also speaks to how much Drew relies on the lapel mics to do the heavy lifting throughout the show instead of his own.

And yet he still points it at everyone doing their shoutouts in the SCSD even though he doesn't have to. 

[jhc2010]

Hot Seat: This game, maybe more than any other, really needs the contestant to be mic'ed. At first, I thought Brandon was just nodding yes or no when Drew asked him if he wanted to continue, but then we just barely heard him actually say it.

I’m surprised there isn’t at least one mic on the set of Hot Seat. I know Plinko and Let ‘em Roll have mics built into their games. Maybe Hot Seat should have a mix on the back of each SP podium?

Of course, this isn’t a problem if the contestant hadn’t been the one who was just chosen from the crowd.
