[TPIRfan#9821]

Didn't watch live, but did they really do a Secret "X" NCFC with the X at the bottom in another holdover show?

That's hilarious. I'll see if I even want to watch this show when it goes on P+.

[Wayoshi]

Give me a break at using Secret X again like that.

[TinoStar11]

This is the 1st time since Season 41 where we had at least 2 playings in which the X was at the bottom.
The losing streak of Secret X when the X is at the bottom continues , which hasn't been won this way since X-mas eve 2010 ( The only Drew Era win with that distinction )

[Wayoshi]

If there is anything to take from today, this Race Game playing was pretty amusing.

[JayC]

Man was that a tough It's in the Bag. The almonds, dog treats, or frozen entree all could've been in the $4,000 bag. They should've had the smoothie as the $4,000 bag since that was 10 times easier.

Not the prettiest Race Game playing, but she did get the win in the end and that's what counts. The only win as it turned out.

How long has it been since a contestant didn't go for the Secret X being in the middle first? It just had to be on the bottom.

Shirlece didn't really seem to know what she was doing in Push Over since it appeared she was going to keep pushing the blocks past the last option. I was pretty sure it would be $7,964.

[TinoStar11]

How long has it been since a contestant didn't go for the Secret X being in the middle first? It just had to be on the bottom.

Don't have to look far for that answer , June 7 of this season.

[SteveGavazzi]

I don't know what to think of how Carla played Race Game.  She got everything wrong, switched two, got those two right, and then still almost didn't win.  That was very, very strange.

The nerd in me is impressed that they used the new carpet at the Big Wheel, seeing as this was taped out of order.

Secret "X" was played for a car two times in a row, seven episodes apart...and neither episode aired anywhere near the correct time, nor did they air anywhere near each other.

[Eddie]

Seriously, how on Earth did they tape an episode last October and wait until now to air it?  That's 11 months waiting for the players to get their prizes.  Then again, Race Game was the lone win and no cars were won.  They do non-car games for a car from time to time.  Placing both X's on top then winning the second prize would not have won the car.

[ThatDonGuy]

Seriously, how on Earth did they tape an episode last October and wait until now to air it?

Presumably it got "lost in the shuffle" caused by the missed tapings when Drew had COVID-19.
Based on the episode IDs, it was supposed to air 12/26, but 0013L aired that day; 0013L was supposed to air 12/7, but 0292L, which was supposed to air in mid-June, aired that day. (There were also unscheduled repeats on 12/12-14.)

I'm pretty sure there's still one unaired episode left; I think it's 0105L, which, according to everyone's best guess, was pulled because it has a trip to Turkey in it, and the scheduled air date was three days after the major earthquake that hit there in February.

[SteveGavazzi]

I'm pretty sure there's still one unaired episode left; I think it's 0105L

0102L, actually, but everything else you said rings true.

[Thatgameshowguy]

That's 11 months waiting for the players to get their prizes.

Prizes are delivered based on "Intended Broadcast Date" which is the date on the slate, presumably 12/26. The Intended Broadcast Date for 54SP was 2/1/23 (despite what the timeline claims) so that's when the prize delivery started, even if it would've been pushed back. We won't know for sure if that's truly the case unless one of the contestants reveals that information, but I have a hunch they've had their stuff for a bit now.

[jimmyuTPIR]

0102L, actually, but everything else you said rings true.

Do we have an airdate for the final “lost” episode?
