When are audiences/contestants gonna learn that ***2*** of anything does NOT end in an odd number? (Notice that the blame is spread over all ~325 of 'em in there.)

I think we've discussed this before, but 2 of a thing can end in an odd number...  Say each item costs $249.49.  2 of them would be $498.98.  The price would then be rounded off to the nearest dollar = $499.

[BarkerBrawny]

Ah, but that's just it. There needs to be consistnecy all the way around.
If you round up at the end, you gotta round up from the get go...

So using your example, wether you round UP to $250, or DOWN to $249,
two of them would end up EVEN, ither $500 or $498.

Why don't very many games come spinning out on the turntable?

All turntable games spin on the turntable.  The thing is that we don't get to see them spin on camera anymore cuz, in the opinion of the suits, it wastes time.

[mhrasputin]

I missed today's ep. because I went to work early and didn't have a tape for today's event. My question is did the losing horns play in More or Less? I'm suspecting the other 3 games that were lost did, thanks!

[shellgame69]

Check Game: I would have written $1700 and won this.

IITB: UGH.  I figured the gold bond was in this $8000 bag.

MoL: 2 things irked me, first no Half Off music and worse, Kristen saying higher on Hawaii?!  That doesn't cost $8000.

FF: There is no reason why James froze the price at $3721.

One Away: Sound the sirens!  That's well played by Tyler.

BBB: Another bad music choice by Stan. Half Off music in place of the cats.  Simple, $700 was WAY too low for the computer.

Yay!  We got to see Check Game coming partially around the turntable today!  Actually, it seems like the past few times we got to see a game coming even partly around the turntable, it's always been Check Game.  Wonder why it always seems to be Check Game....

short TV copy + Roger needing to write the contestant's name on the check and get off of the turntable without being smushed = delay in getting the turntable rotating

No. Casey's right -- if a prize package consists of multiple items, then the prices of each item are added up (dollars and cents), then the total is rounded. That's the way it's always been, which means that there is consistency.

To use a hypothetical (and extreme) example: Say the prize is a 60-piece dinnerware set. Each individual piece of dinnerware costs $19.49. Which is more accurate: to say that the retail price of the 60-piece dinnerware set is $1,140 or $1,169?

[BarkerBrawny]

...  I stand corrected!
I obviously am not thinking straight tonight,
as you can tell by my BarkersMarkers idea.

We're all under stress this week.

The Price is Right Game #6729

It's in the Bag
To all Gabrielle Tuite fans:  This is the moment you've all been waiting for.  She has reached $12,000,000!  It took 2,302 prizes.

More or Less

Where did she think she'd be staying? A gold-gilded penthouse?

Great question, and Lisbon, which we'll never know the price to, has one of those gold-gilded penthouses.

Modeling Report Card for June 13, 2007
Wait 'til uou see this...this is what modeling totals would look like on an Atari 2600!

Gabrielle Tuite did pretty good no matter what modeling unit display I'm using.  She has $74,589.  On the right of the "screenshot", there are 2 Ms for medium scores and an H for a high score.  Also, Rachel is only two prizes away from her 3,000th prize.

What?  Four more GPs?  Not only that, you've also got 22 prizes, and they all total $148,714.

mhrasputin-


 yes they did...errrr...wait--- maybe not


 doggone it


  i'll have to get back to ya on that one after friday's episode.


and then i'll know for sure.



 dang EXACTA on One Away got me all excited that i totally forgot about what happened after More or Less was played

at least i know the LH's (good thing these losing horns aren't anywhere's remotely as freaky as the Concentration ones) did play after the other losses .

[SteveGavazzi]

Looking back, I feel silly for not guessing that Check Game would be played this week.  It should have been obvious that Bob would want to go through that routine one more time.

And yay!  We got to see it coming around on the Turntable!

Seeing More or Less get played for trips was pretty cool.  Seeing Kristen completely blow the game when it was clearly set up to be won wasn't.

And you know, I like More or Less.  I really do.  But for whatever reason, it always seems to end up with a contestant who is bound and determined not to win no matter how hard Roger tries to give them the prizes.

One Away, on the other hand, was totally awesome.  I was really on the edge of my seat waiting for that final horn.

Speaking of One Away...why do I think I recognize Tyler from somewhere?

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Because Tyler looks suspiciously like Chuck, perhaps?  At least, that's what I suspected.

[PIR85]

Besides the bizarre music cue selections already mentioned for today's show, did anyone else notice they used the truck/van cue for the Fusion in MoL?

Also, at the end of Act 5 when Tyler walks over to Roger, you see a brief glimpse of the slate and the last game said "Bargain Game."  For those of you trivia-buffs out there, is this how it has always been named on the slate card, or did they recently change it to accomodate a potentital future name change?

Finally, what happened to the cbs.com farewell video clips?  I thought it was going to last all week.  On Monday's show, I heard "And the WINNER..." so I then assumed there was only ONE selection, but originally I thought they were going to air several clips all week.  Anyone have an explanation for this?

[Joe_Capitano]

From Gavazzi's Big Fat TPiR FAQ:

Barker’s Bargain Bar is known in much of the show’s official documentation as “The Bargain Game.”

Not sure if that's what it will end up being after Barker's gone, but there you are.

[tpirfan28]

Huh...didn't know that, Scott.  I guess that would me more accurate, wouldn't it?

And I would have truly LOL'd if the turntable turned around with Roger still on it.
