Note I made clear on Discord, if there is any political discussion on this recap thread, I will hose it on sight. No ifs ands or buts. This to discuss the show, not what RuPaul stands for or what the show is trying to suggest by having RuPaul on it. Keep that in mind.

[Gameshowgenius26]

Well now! I can honestly say that I would NOT have won One Away as easily as Ashley did! Either way, it was still an exciting special all-in-all, RuPaul did VERY well for himself, and, even if several of you disagree, I call that perfect show in my book. And it was most certainly just as good watching Robert win his showcase along with the money to go with it. 

[tpiradam]

That was a really fun show! I somewhat wish Ru had been in drag for the show but I understand why not. Range Game was super close, I wish they had zoomed in a lot closer like they did back in the day to see just how close he got. One Away was probably the highlight for me. Ashley had a perfect shirt for the special night and I definitely wouldn't say that was an easy setup. Very fun to watch. That first Showcase was a tad underwhelming though. I could see that kind of Showcase almost any other daytime episode but was expecting something a little more WOW for the nighttime episode.

[Grand_game2004]

Again, just like this morning's show (the central time zone has CBS showing TPiR at 10 AM, I believe)... congratulations to all the winners! Yet another great show with BOTH car games won! The only weird thing was that Robert bid $22,222 on his showcase, which is a really strange bid, but nonetheless, ROBERT WON! He played Plinko and won just a bit over $10,000 which is NOT shabby at all in my opinion! Way to go ROBERT!

Removed unnecessary markup and needless punctuation. You only need to use one exclamation mark, not five, to make your point. You also don't need to SCREAM or be unnecessarily loud abusing markup.

[Plinkoman]

I have to say, I enjoyed RuPaul as a special guest. He was obviously having a blast and he seemed to genuinely care about the contestants and wanted them to win big!

Plinko's small prizes were not as nice as it should have been, especially since this is a primetime special. But, $10K+ won. I'm calling it a Clean Sweep!

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! I hope we will be able to see more Price Is Right at Night episodes in the future!

[educationman76]

Great show of having many winners tonight. Even though Plinko was "technically" lost but still $10+ is not a bad loss either.

Grocery Game was awesome as she did the slowly but surely!

I would have lost One Away didn't realize the car was close to $34K

The only thing that really would have been nice is that had played one of the Big 3 pricing games such as Golden Road, Triple Play, or 3 Strikes.

[Gameshowgenius26]

I would have lost One Away didn't realize the car was close to $34K.

I wouldn't have either. Which is why I would've lost that game painfully and Any Number would've been a close call, in my opinion as opposed to the way that it was, THANKFULLY, won.

[JayC]

Fun show, Rupaul really played off the contestants well and looked like he enjoyed being there.

Wow that was a close call in Range Game, I was really afraid he set it too high when they showed the board after he stopped.

Can't play Any Number much better than Deborah did!

Athena didn't exactly play Grocery Game ideally starting with a small amount of the least expensive item, but can't argue with the results as she set herself up nicely for the win with 1 box of crackers.

One Away was great with Rupaul on the ground with Ashley on each "do I have # numbers right?"

[Roadgeek Adam]

Again, just like this morning's show (the central time zone has CBS showing TPiR at 10 AM, I believe)....... CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!!!!! Yet another great show with BOTH car games won!!!! The only weird thing was that Robert bid $22,222 on his showcase, which is a really strange bid, but nonetheless, ROBERT WON!!! He played Plinko and won just a bit over $10,000 which is NOT shabby at all in my opinion!!! Way to go ROBERT!!!!!

Can we tone down the use of formatting?

[Grand_game2004]

sorry if I ended up being a little too enthusiastic there. LOL! Sorry!

[styleguy]

This was a great show.  I am a big fan of Drag Race and RuPaul was truly great on this show.  I hope RuPaul comes back for another show.  It was pretty awesome that there was an over $10k win in Plinko and all other pricing games won.  I did think that first showcase was a little meh for a Primetime Special.  The second one was awesome.  I hope we get more Nighttime Price. 

[The Last Outlaw]

I, like many of you here on this forum, would have lost One Away in terrible fashion.  There's no way I would have seen a $34,000+ car unless it was Dream Car Week on TPIR.  Still, it was an awesome night.  Having RuPaul in the mix... I'll say this: if The Price is Right is a lot of fun in the daytime (and we have some 48 years of proof in that), RuPaul made The Price is Right AT NIGHT a great amount of fun!  Nice job all around!

[ThatDonGuy]

What was the "theme" of the Grocery Game items? From the descriptions, I don't see what they have in common.

It was premium. The salad was a premium mix, the Premium brand saltines, and I forget the rest now.

[Archviler]

Glad I got to watch this, I don't get to catch much Price anymore.

My main takeaway is that a few blips aside, they set things up to be won by casual contestants. Any Number feels right here, I won it purely because I guessed they'd put the 5 and the 9 in the price of the car since it was an evening special. The setups generally weren't hard, and any tiebreakers I won by assuming it's set up to be won. One Away was the exception to that, I had no chance to ever win that one.

I freely admit I was hoping for any game but Plinko last, just so it would have a shot to be an uncontested perfect game. Ah well, it's still one in my books.
