[Wayoshi]

Decent opener. The prizes besides the silly boat were good. The price in 3X was pretty awful though, no need for any evil 0s on day 1.

[SeaBreeze341]

Personally, I didn't mind the boat.  However, that 3X was just unnecessary & brutal, ITA.

Hat trick for Johnny (with two family members on past shows and won).  Not sure whether he meant the showcase or just a PG in general, but he did well.

Nice win in Bargain to close out the show.  2 cars, quick & simple

[EvilChameleon]

It's fun things like three door Most Expensive and Bargain Game for two cars that always keeps me coming back for more.

[GameShowKid]

It's fun things like three door Most Expensive and Bargain Game for two cars that always keeps me coming back for more.

Seeing three door Most Expensive takes me back. If only they has used a classic cue as well. I liked the way the numbers were centered, and the fact that the contestant gave an actual number (“2” this time) as his choice. Old school.

[MSTieScott]

Is this the first time since the current Most Expensive set debuted that they've played the game using all three doors?

Also, where did the other three contestants go while the game was being played?

[SeaBreeze341]

I think so.  I believe they stopped doing that a few months before the 4th set debuted.

I'm not sure about the other contestants.  I think they went back to their seats with their family members, but I totally didn't even pay attention to them during the game

[EvilChameleon]

I didn't even notice the contestants weren't there, good spot.

[plinkoboard]

Pretty good show today.  Grand Game had a rather easy setup.  Although I wouldn't have guessed each prize in Most Expensive was as expensive as they were I had a feeling the bathroom was the most expensive of the 3 rooms due to both the prizes used and the size of some of them.  Bad luck on 3 Strikes.  I had a feeling the 0 was wrong on Squeeze Play.  What made Paula think the pastry tool cost that much?  Good win on Bargain Game to close out the show and allow a 3 for 6 day. 

[DYC]

It's fun things like three door Most Expensive and Bargain Game for two cars that always keeps me coming back for more.

I echo that.

[Grammar-Nazi]

I am beginning to suspect we may never see Three Strikes won again.

[sideshowPA]

Also, where did the other three contestants go while the game was being played?

I'm pretty sure contestants, even those who have been on stage, just go back to their pods.

And we have a toilet sighting! Yes Drew...we get it....it's a #2 joke.

Also, is the "wow" payoff of offering 4 trips really worth the 75 seconds it took to describe all of those trips?

I'm being a bit negative here though. This actually FELT like a premiere.  Love the Most Expensive set-up and even all of the models riding the scooters.

[TinoStar11]

3X offering its 1st sub $41k car since 3/29/16 ( $39142 )

[gamesurf]

If I had to pick either...

• $1,000,000 Pay The Rent (with a near-forced $100K bailout)
• a $40,000 swimming pool in Bonus Game
• a bunch of other ordinary games & ordinary prizes

or

• $51,000 Grand Game
• Most Expensive in three doors for three rooms
• Bargain for 2 cars
• 3 Strikes
• Cliff Hangers for 4 trips
• every game offering at least $20,000; no game offering more than $51,000
• every game reasonably winnable (save maybe 3 Strikes)

...I will take the latter every time.

This was a fantastic show, one of the best season premieres in recent memory. Every segment had something to keep it fun and memorable. It truly felt like the entire show was a celebration. Helps that the audience is louder than it's been, too!

It's a little funny Drew has somebody stand on the dollar sign during their game and then immediately high five and allow contestants to hug him after they win, but do what you gotta do to keep the guilds happy and the show in production.

[FanOfDrew87]

It's interesting to note that the total value of the two cars offered on Bargain Game exceeded the price of the SUV offered on 3 Strikes.  And the two cars were won.

Also, regarding the pontoon boat offered on one of the pricing games, is this the first time a female model wore a swimsuit on daytime Price in many years?
