Tough luck for the guy playing Dice Game even though one could say he jinxed himself toward victory.  Meh, I don’t think so; maybe just pure confidence.  Plus, the odds were clearly in his favor & that’s fair.  The problem is an octopus would try to count how many times someone didn’t win thanks to the only number someone could lose off of, and then run out of fingers.

It was painful since the guy almost rolled the one (which was the correct number for the second digit) before limping to a two.  To add insult to injury, he missed out on money in the SCSD (as did the Coming or Going player from SCSD One), ended up with 95, but lost in a spinoff.

A wipeout in Danger Price no thanks to a $1500 tv.   I can’t ever figure out the cost of televisions these days.  Also a complete Spelling Bee loss, but that should not have gotten to that point.  I might have looked at one card in that spot, but not two.  I think if things worked better in the pricing portion, I think he wins the game, or at least with an R, his chances go up much more

Great stuff in Switch, Bullseye, and Coming or Going, and a nice showcase or showcases with a car in each of those!

[ooboh]

For some reason, the TV immediately stuck out to me as the $1,500 prize in Danger Price.

Also, if it gets that bad in Spelling Bee, you are way better off simply taking the $2,000. The only way you can win at that point is if you pick at least one of the two “instant win” cards, which only has a 13.1% chance of occurring.

Love hearing the Bean Stalker cue today, but is it common practice today to use it during the SC?  Maybe I just don't pay close enough attention.

Bryan has been stuck for a while. Can he make it out of the Room of the Beloved?

Loving the Legends references this week!

I can’t speak for the Spelling Bee contestant, but I’m guessing several contestants previous to him had their eye on the top prize and no matter the odds they were going to play out the game.

I’m wondering if they feel they must go for the big prize, no matter what, even with the buyout option. (Which is what you should do in today’s playing. $2000 isn’t hay and you at least walk out with something.)
