In Secret X, two difficult SP's AND the X on the bottom row? Man, the producers DID NOT want this one won.

In Secret X, two difficult SP's AND the X on the bottom row? Man, the producers DID NOT want this one won.

Makes more sense when you consider X was played for a car. You can expect easy games like Cliffhangers and X to be more difficult in those cases.

If Gregory used the add $250 to your showcase bid strategy, he would have won both of them.

[TinoStar11]

In the Drew era , only one Secret "X" win ever has occurred with the X being in the bottom , Xmas Eve 2010

In Secret X, two difficult SP's AND the X on the bottom row? Man, the producers DID NOT want this one won.

Funny, because I saw it being played for a car and my first thought was that it would be on the bottom to avoid a win.

TO THE PENNY:  So the prices of the items don’t necessarily increase as you go along… I had a hunch that such logic was just too easy when he got up to the spray cleaner ($6000), as that would have eliminated 3 of the 4 options.  Even so, I was surprised it was $2.49, between inflation and the fact that it was cleaner.

COVER UP:  Pricing games that debuted in 2001… the pics they used for Bonkers and Pass the Buck were clearly from their debut season, as the special 30 Years on CBS logo (Season 30/2001-2002) was on the big doors in the backgrounds of both pics.  In addition, the Pass the Buck board had 8 selections instead of 6.

Incidentally, I checked, and though the pic of Bonkers is from its premiere season, it is NOT a pic of the first playing that aired on 10/1/2001.  The pic used for Cover Up shows a bogus price of $5367; the first playing, for a snowmobile, used a bogus price of $2583.  An FYI for inquiring minds!
