...i hate this... how do you lose such easy games...

[tpir04]

...yeah.

Love the lineup. Really I do. Beefy games, two good quickies, and a 4p to boot. But this show was pretty much a cross between dumb playings and tough luck. Like who guesses $65 on a SP in Spelling Bee? And the appliances were a trap in T2, there was nothing over $4k there. On the other hand, Pick a Pair was Dob-mode evil, and Pocket Change was played better than most, fell just short, aw.

[123123123]

I normally don't notice while watching, but doesn't playing Take Two and Pick a Pair basically back to back break some kind of conflict? From the picking two prizes to the second chances, it felt way too similar. I felt it a bit with Spelling Bee and Pocket Change with the card picking, but that's a bit of a stretch.

Either way, the show was enjoyable. The two dollar spins and Drew's interaction with Amber, James definitely helped

[SilverFirePrime]

Pick-a-Pair's level of evil-ness  today all depends on where somebody does their shopping.  For people who go to Aldis, Wal-Mart, and other discount stores, it was brutally evil. You don't see that kind of pizza or oatmeal there.  For people who go to higher-end stores, it might not have been too bad, depending on what you buy/see there.

[LiteBulb88]

Spelling Bee: I can understand how someone would think an electric shaver is $65. Some really good ones can run $200 and they don't exactly provide a whole lot of description about the item to help the contestant figure out if it's a good one or a cheap one.

Take Two: Not an unreasonable loss. It's easy to think a computer would run around $2500.

Push Over: This was an unreasonable loss. That should've been won.

Pocket Change: Ouch.

[AvsFan]

Push Over seemed to be set up for a win, and it should've been.

Take Two: Can't blame Elizabeth for keeping the fire table after the first round.

Didn't expect the 4 to be the trap digit in Pocket Change. Tough break on the envelopes, too. Pocket Change is 7-2 in the last 3 seasons when the car price is $1.00 or less, but only 5-12 when the car price is $1.25 or more, so $1.25 seems to be around the tipping point. Didn't make the reveal of the last envelope any less heartbreaking, anyway.
