Drew's reactions the few times Allison didn't end her 10 Chances guesses in 0 were priceless.

[DebonairDylan]

Drew's reactions the few times Allison didn't end her 10 Chances guesses in 0 were priceless.

I agree, so many people don't know the zero rule. Also, for any future contestants playing, in Card Game, never stop until you're at least $5,000 over the starting bid, here's why: If the ARP of the car is $25,000 or less with a starting bid of $20,000, you could draw the $5,000 card and win without having to draw a single card from the standard deck because you're already within the needed range of the ARP of the car to win, meaning if the starting bid is $20,000, don't stop before you at least get to $25,000, and if the starting bid is $25,000, don't stop before reaching $30,000, and so on.

[crazypackersfan]

Brutal playings of the two car games today. At least Drew was able to make 10 Chances funny by his reactions. I'm not a fan of Card Game because it's basically a Showcase if you really think about it. The original Card Game made it actually matter what cards you pick thanks to the low limit cards. Of course, everyone seems to stop ultra-early anyway, so it's not any easier.

[SeaBreeze341]

I think an issue is people tend to get so worried when they draw several cards.  That's understandable, but it would be nice if the players paid attention to the value of the cards that they are drawing.  Even with higher numbers, I didn't feel that it was enough

[TinoStar11]

Allison is only the 2nd contestant to win only the 1st prize in 10 Chances in the last 6 seasons.

[OneBidTris]

Yeah, both car games were played pretty badly. I can't blame Allison fully for thinking it'd be a $300 chess set in 10C (welcome back), though Drew's reactions were funny.

Really not much else to say, was nice to see someone cover the bottom in X, even if it wasn't going to be on the bottom today.

[SteveGavazzi]

They didn't do any wide shots of Ten Chances today.  I wonder if they're having trouble blocking it in the new studio.

[GameShowKid]

They didn't do any wide shots of Ten Chances today.  I wonder if they're having trouble blocking it in the new studio.

One of my favorite games! And I noticed that also.

I'm thinking that Drew told the contestant about "the zero rule" right after he pitched to the commercial break; it looked to me like he started to say "All..." as in "All of the prices end in zero in this game". Moreover, how long has it been since the second prize offered has been priced at less than $500? I'm asking you audience!

[Nick]

Also, for any future contestants playing, in Card Game, never stop until you're at least $5,000 over the starting bid, here's why: If the ARP of the car is $25,000 or less with a starting bid of $20,000, you could draw the $5,000 card and win without having to draw a single card from the standard deck because you're already within the needed range of the ARP of the car to win, meaning if the starting bid is $20,000, don't stop before you at least get to $25,000, and if the starting bid is $25,000, don't stop before reaching $30,000, and so on.

I know that's the kind of thing Roger would have paid attention to, but can we confirm the current regime does the same?

[gamesurf]

Yes.

With one exception on Jan 11.

[jhc2010]

In Card game last season, there were 93 cards picked from the standard deck. Of those 93 cards, only 3 were aces. The deck is now spread on the table by producers and no longer cut by the contestant. Are the producers purposely hiding the aces in spots where contestants would be least likely to choose them (the first or last few cards)? Probability says that there should have been 7 or 8 aces chosen out of 93 cards chosen.

Distribution of cards picked:
Aces - 3
Deuces - 2
Treys - 10
Fours - 8
Fives - 12
Sixes - 5
Sevens - 6
Eights - 7
Nines - 8
Tens - 8
Jacks - 12
Queens - 4
Kings - 8
