I find that he's overly thorough.
This was Drew's explanation of the the third step alone:
1. The Setup
"You've won $3,000! Now for $6,000... here are the four choices."
2. The Penny Option
"Do you want to spend a penny (or pennies) to remove a price?"
2a. Reaction To The Penny Option
"Yes, you do want to use pennies? Okay. Just one? Not two or three? Okay. Hand me the penny, I'll drop it in the slot, here's the reveal. Poof, it's not $5.39."
3. The Price Selection
"What do you believe the price is? $2.99, $3.99, or $6.99?"
3a. Reaction To The Price Selection
"$3.99? Is she right?"*buzz* "Nope."
4. Buyback or Bailout
"Well, here are your options at this point:
a) You have four pennies, you can buy your way back into the game for two cents
b) Or you can take the $3,000 and four pennies and sit down, which is a stupid decision and you shouldn't do that and I'm only telling you the option so you know it's an option, but as the host I'm going to tell you to ignore this option and pick option a"
5. The Price Selection, again...
"What do you believe the price is? $2.99 or $6.99?"
5a. ...but there's also a Penny Option here too
"Or, you could also spend a penny right now to get rid of one of those numbers."
5b. Reaction To The Price Selection
"You say it's $6.99, is she right?" *buzz* "No!"
6. Buyback or Bailout, again
"Well, you have two pennies. Just hand them to me and you can win an easy $6,000. (I guess presumably you have the option to quit here with $3,000 and two pennies but why on earth would you do that, we're not even going to mention this.)"
7. The Price Selection, a third time...
"Just say $2.99." *ding!* "You win $6,000!"
As explained it's waaaaay too many things for the host to set up in the scope of about 80 seconds. You don't need to mention that she has the option to bail until she has one or zero pennies left and is at risk of losing everything.
