Once again, we get the kind that can't seem to get a grasp on the situation. As if the 
battle for the flatware wasn't enough, she thought that car was a $68,000 one. Barker 
asked her if she really thought that, and she stuck with it - and he walked away with 
his head hanging until she wised up.

[Joe_Mello]

You know, if it wasn't Ten Chances, 795 would've been a brilliant guess.

We had too much Gold Bond today.

Is Lucky 7 being won too much?  This is the second time in recent playings that a 9 has come up on the end.

[weatherdan882002]

Lucky $even – Let me just say, Barker giving her the wrong bills was “priceless”. Anyway, she played it beautifully – that nine was a killer, and IMO – a dirty trick...

Grand Game – finally, this game is won. Seems like it’s been forever since this game was last won...

Balance Game (’06) – excellently played. Nothing more to say...

10 Chances – When was the last time this game was played so poorly? Not only did she take forever, it was VERY obvious she, and apparently her daughter as well, have never seen this game. BTW: I called the price of the car.

Cliff Hangers – She knew what she was doing. She took time to think about those prices, and it really paid off

Squeeze Play – Oh well. Just a wrong choice of choosing...

Showcases – Very good bids today. Rita wasn’t off by too much, and apparently, neither was Evette.

All in all, not a bad show. The worst part was when Rita played 10 Chances...

[Mallory16]

Excellent show today!  Bob was great!  Yvette was great!  Joan was great!  Ten Chances was great!

We had a record here:  three completely seperate local interruptions for three completely unrelated reasons!  I still saw most of the show, save for the beginning, the whole third segment, and Squeeze Play, but still, just kinda' amazing that they'd actually have three seperate issues to interrupt for in a single hour!  One was interruption worthy, anyway.

I felt bad for Yvette after Lucky $even.  There was just no way any normal person could win Lucky $even today.  For that matter, I doubt many of us could have won, either.  I wound up missing by a total of 14, myself.

Am I ever happy that Yvette won her showcase though!  I really, really wanted her to win too.  At the same time, however badly Rita played Ten Chances, I liked her.  Mostly because she passed the car showcase to Yvette, but after that, I couldn't really be mad at Rita, could I?

Ten Chances was fun!  I don't care what you guys all say, but when Bob's on the ball with the game, he can make disasterous playings fun to watch, like today!  Yay for Bob!  Yay for the underrated Ten Chances!

Speaking of Ten Chances, considering how long Rita took with the tenth chance, I'm surprised Bob didn't mention the ten second rule.  Not that they'd actually enforce it, but still unusual.

Still speaking of Ten Chances, fourth!  I can't believe they played Ten Chances, of all car games, fourth, considering it's been ages since it's been played in the second half period!

And all that, and I haven't even gotten to Joan yet!  She was great, and a lot of fun as well:  so nice to see her win Grand Game; I was surprised she won, since the Gold Bond just kinda' looked like it would've been the most expensive product there.  So yay for her!

For the record, Joe, that's not the first time Bob's mistakenly given the contestant the $500 wad instead of the seven $1 bills.  It's happened at least once before.

[m724493]

1st game... I missed while I was getting lunch.. apparently she lost because she was 1st in the SSD

Grand Game... She played very well.. when she picked the powder I knew she won!

Balance Game/SSD#1... I've seen balance game and even I was confused with his explaination of it! Bob is really starting to worry me... I hope nothing is wrong with him..

10 Chances... WOW! What can I say! ummm 69,000.. 68,000... the car they gave away last night on GSM's Card Sharks wasn't even worth that much! Did you see Bob?!?

Cliffhangers... I couldn't have done any better myself!

Squeze Play... I would have gotten this wrong too!

SSD#2... Lets see how bad Rita can screw up her showcase!!!

Showcase... WOW!! Rita had a sensable bid!!! Go Figure!.. But again close to a DSW!!

And I like how Rich seems to be interacting better with Bob when he does his plugs, etc... It sounds like how Rod was with Bob...

Lucky Seven: Tough loss. After the way the price was going, you'd think the producers had let up with this game. Apparently not. If that Mustang had been the same one as the one on Pocket Change, she would have won. BTW, that was kinda funny that Bob gave her the wrong set of money to play the game. Proabably one of the more entertaining playings of the game in a while!

Grand Game: I was shocked she won. I thought for sure the cat litter was the right one. I couldn't believe the body powder was $5.99!

Balance Game: Fairly easy.

Ten Chances: Good news- this was played fourth! Bad news: things went downhill for Rita after the second chance. Not played well at all. That car guess at first kinda reminded me of that $70,000+ guess for a Ford Focus.

Cliffhangers: A bit harder than usual, because the first item was $29.

Squeeze Play: I thought removing the 4 would work.

Showcase: Wow- Rita actually has the nerves to pass a car showcase! I'm actually glad she did, because she didn't deserve to win a car at all after the way she played Ten Chances. And I'm really glad Yvette won, for pete's sakes. I would have bid $29,000 on that.

Overall: Very good show, largely because of the lineup!

[PimpinJC]

Lucky $even – They did a VERY dirty trick making the last number a 9.  I thought it was hilarious when Bob gave her the $500 instead of the $7.  I think Bob should have given her $7 to play the last number, since it was an error.

Grand Game – Wow, I would have never guessed the body powder was less than $6.50.  I thought the cat litter was less (on yesterday's show on IITB, the cat litter was $5.88).  However, they never revealed the price of the cat litter, so maybe it could have been less than...

Balance Game (’06) – It was ok.  Good job!

10 Chances – The mess-up on the flatware really cost her.  She and her daughter obviously don't know the end-in-0 rule.  Even Bob was trying to point it out to her toward the last.  And her initial reaction of $68,000 for the car cracked me up.  Bob was cracking up, too.

Cliff Hangers – Good job playing.  She knew her stuff.

Squeeze Play – Pretty tough; she lost in the end, though.

Showcases – Wow, passing a car showcase; I would have never thought of it.  I'm glad Yvette won, though; it redeemed her loss in Lucky $even (plus, she got a car!)

[Joe_Mello]

There are two tubs of cat litter: The larger one, which is $7.37, and the smaller one which is 5.88.  Unfortunately, it's sorta hard to tell which is which.

[shellgame69]

Lucky 7: I got a kick out of seeing Bob hand out $500.  Finally we get a players who gets a crack at the last #! Ugh, I thought the car price was a gimmie, then 9 shows up, causing a loss.

Grand Game: Wow, I was thinking the cat litter was under and body powder was over.

Ten Chances: 4th?!  Amazing. Playing wise-I thought Rita would bring life into this game, but $509 on the flatware? $68,000 on the Malibu?!  But hey, Bob leaving the set was funny!
 
Cliffhangers: Good playing.

Showcases: Wow, I though Yvette was over on the Vibe. Not to speak vilely to players, but I was glad Rita lost. Yvette deserved the best player of the day.

Overall: A great show today!

[Jordan7]

Today's show was very good! I liked Yvette and Joan and Rita.

I felt bad that Yvette didn't win Lucky Seven, that was an evil setup. Frank15, I missed by 15, I thought it was $26,025. But I'm happy that she won the showcase showdown, then the showcase. I also loved her reaction after she won the showcase showdown, and Bob handing her the 5 $100 bills instead was funny.

Joan was a good contestant, she was fun. I'm happy she won Grand Game. I would have picked the cat litter instead of the Gold Bond stuff. Good for her.

$4112 just stood out for me in Balance Game. $3112 seemed too cheap and $5112 seemed a little too much.

Rita did play Ten Chances badly, but she was enjoyable. I was shocked to see it played fourth. I expected it to show up yesterday.

Nancy did a good job with Cliff Hangers. I liked how she knew that each prize got more expensive, but some people might know that already.

Squeeze Play was fairly easy. I would have removed the 6, although $5625 looked good too.

Lucky 7: This was pure EVIL! Well, the only good part was Barker's Sr. Moment with the WRONG MONEY! That 9 was gonna shoot somebody down, unless they played perfecto up to that number. Darn you Roger!

Grand Game: Yay, pretty easy setup IMHO, seems like we've had ALOT of wins in S. 34 on this one folks!

Balance: Yes, another win for the newbie game! Woohoo!

Ten Chances: FOR THE 4TH GAME? When was the last time the Dob put this in 4th? I sure can't remember EVER seeing 10C in the 4th slot. Ya know, if she wouldn't have wasted a few guesses, I bet she would have hit pay dirt and won the car. Really, her guess wasn't that bad(for the car) once she figured out what the hell was going on!

Cliff Hangers: DA DOO DEE DOO DA DOO DEE(ah nevermind, Simon Cowell said I sounded teribble, rofl!). Very good playing, and another game that has seen quite a few wins this season. I guess the Dob wanted us all to forget about that Lucky Seven trick with all these easy games.

Squeezie: Grrrr! A game that hasn't seen many wins lately. Oh well!

Showcase: Difference of 884! Very well done, but missed the DSW. Another class act!

8 of 10 today on the scale, if it wouldn't been for that sleazy Dob and the 9 in Lucky Seven!

[pathfinder2119]

Today's show was quite enjoyable.

With a 9 as the last digit in Lucky $even, it was no surprise that it was lost. Also, the scene with Bob and the 5 $100 bills was funny.

Even though Ten Chances wasn't played well, the way Bob handled the situation made the game fun. Also, it was played fourth!

[Alfonzo]

I'm still shocked that Roger would put one of the longer car games in the fourth slot. If I'm correct Line 'em Up, Lucky $even, Card Game, Pocket ˘hange and Cover Up are the only pure car games that have yet to be played fourth since last season(I'm STILL surprised Line 'em Up and Lucky $even hasn't been slotted fourth yet!). I don't expect 3 Strikes to be put there any time soon.

[Jordanar18]

As soon as I saw the Mustang Convertible, I thought the Dob wanted the game won.  As soon as I saw the first four digits, I was sure he wanted it won.  

I really enjoyed watching Ten Chances when Bob walked off the prop; then I laughed when she wrote her last price and wondered if she could actually be right!
