Valentine's Day at Night tonight, though I may not be doing it live. I have plans for tonight to see my partner Toni and I havent seen her since July 29. So I apologize in advance.

[GRWHAMMY the 2nd]

let me guess, Donnetta was spending a lot of time looking to the audience?

also, is it safe to TECHNICALLY call Kenyati a "double showcase winner" seeing how they repeated the performance from a decade ago and won that showcase as well as the one from today

[Kirk_Morgan]

Any game with time ticking away,You should NOT rely on the peanut gallery to help you!

[Hag]

You absolutely cannot look at the audience when time is a factor. Time Is Money is another example, but with a different type of countdown.

[sideshowPA]

let me guess, Donnetta was spending a lot of time looking to the audience?

Actually, Donnetta did not look at the audience AT ALL. But she was quite deliberate about placing the prices, and perhaps not as frantic as some contestants.

But here's something I notice...it just seems like the distance between the jukebox and the prizes, and the overall distance of the prize displays, is much farther than in the past. I'm not sure if this is a function of the new stage, newer and longer prize platforms, or a combination of the 2. Heck, the last prize was almost touching door 3.

[SeaBreeze341]

Echoing the suggestion against obtaining help in Race Game (as well as Bonkers, Time is Money etc).  Maybe save it for Ten Chances.

It's great she didn't so that's good.  The distance thing isn't something I'd think of until it was brought up.  Interesting.  Though for me, I'd probably not put too much into today's outcome (as a reason for it)

[Wayoshi]

There's an error in the recap in that she went 3/2/1/4 first. The only mistake she really made overall is never pricing a small exercise machine as the cheapest item.

(... Where was the GP game today? This lineup is nowhere near acceptable without it.)
