FULL RECAP - TPiR 10/30/2007

[edmojautis]

Switch?: I too was baffled by the playing today, but Tiffany came out good.

10 Chances: Kevin comes back after a tad slowing down.

Punch: Too bad about the outcome but Drew sure had some spirited delivery in this playing oday.

Squeeze: Too bad.

Card: Pearl is having the best anniversary ever!! Great win.

Hi Lo: It was a toss-up. Halls or Pine-Sol. Which would Phillip choose? Right decision was made.

Showcases: Well, I'm glad Pearl had fun at least. I was pulling for her, too.

Drew was in his best, today!!!

A 3-star show.

Switch?: Using a motorcycle on this game and a $3000+ price? I know what to do.

One Bid 2: The look on Drew's face as he notices the item coming down; kinda got me, too. Liked how he reiteraed the rule to Ivan.

Ten Chances: I don't know. I can understand Kevin getting some help from the audience, but did he really have to refer to them when all there is left is a zero on some of the chances? He played okay, but the slowness made my blood move a little.

Punch-A-Bunch: I groaned when Frances said higher for the toaster oven.

Squeeze Play: I  because I knew what to do. I  when Kelly wanted the first 9 removed.

One Bid 5: "Cristel Bernard" sounds familar to me. I don't know why.

Card Game: Very good play, despite the low-card draws. That Fusion should not have been more than 19000 anyway.

One Bid 6: Makes me wonder what other video game packages were offered on the One Bids (or within a whole episode): An Atari 2600 package? 

Hi-Lo: To think, I would have picked the freezer bags and lost. It was either that or the Pine-Sol.

Showcases:  21000 for a Port-O-Price Showcase? No.
(Well, there might be some times that might be okay, but not this time.)

Ten Chances took forever as usual, but I've noticed that Drew won't hurry the contestant up. He needs to start doing that.

HOTTIES: #18, Tiffany; #19, Kelly; #20, Cristel
BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: Frances
SHOW GRADE: 2

EDIT: Okay... Innertube totally messed up on me, and I need to go to bed. So, if Jacob hasn't posted any screencaps by tomorrow afternoon after TPIR, I'll get to it then.

Wow.  Drew was great today.  I'm not gonna say he didn't have any weak moments -- in fact, he did, at the ends of Squeeze Play and Hi Lo -- but damn, he was on his "A" game for 95% of this episode.  For the first time today, it really felt like it was his show, and not just Bob Barker's show that he was the new host of.  Ten Chances and Punch a Bunch proved to me beyond any doubt that he can do this job and do it right.

I thought Drew's routine with shouting during Punch a Bunch was going to get old fast.  Apparently, I was wrong -- Frances was hilarious while she was doing that.

How the heck was Squeeze Play lost?

Wow...Card Game has aired three times so far this season, and it hasn't been lost yet.  That's amazing.  Less amazing but still interesting is the fact that, unless I'm mistaken, all three contestants have had a range of $3,000.

Speaking of Card Game...was anyone else afraid Pearl was actually going to go over?

Hi Lo was actually sort of hard today.  There's no way I'd ever have picked the Pine Sol.

"Stallwort Stingington III"?

the show wasnt quite that good. you had stupid bids, no big wins

Uh...what show were you watching, dude?  Ten Chances and Card Game were both won.

[JokerFan]

Punch-a-bunch: I liked how Drew referred to the board as the “Punch-a-bunch board” rather than the Punchboard.  I guess this is just because references to the Punchboard made some people believe this game’s official name is (or was at one point) Punchboard.

Squeeze Play: It’s hard to believe that this game was lost.  I don’t think it made a matter if someone had the seen the prize.  The 1 was just begging to be removed.

Card Game: It’s surprising how many low cards Pearl drew.  Throughout the game, I was thinking that Pearl would stop too soon, because she might have been thinking of draw a set number of cards rather than reach a certain price.  Does anyone know the most number of cards drawn in this game is?

SC1:  My Bid: $16,400 / Diff: $ 1,323
SC2:  My Bid: $22,245 / OVER

Speaking of Card Game...was anyone else afraid Pearl was actually going to go over?

Not me. I actually thought she may have went just a little too low.

[pricefan18]

Drew was really good today, he definitely has his own unique style. I loved how openly he laughed about the V8 thing with the silverware, there's an odd pair if you've ever seen one.

Anyone catch Drew's bobbing back and forth near the camera as he threw to break after the first SCSD? I thought that was pretty funny. I also got a kick out of the way he chided the one contestant for bidding $5400 for a one bid.

As for the games.....
Switch: Pretty simple playing today.
Ten Chances: It took him a little bit to get the feel for the game today, but once the contestant did it was fairly smooth sailing for him.
Punchboard: The contestant was really into it with the screaming lol, too bad she didn't win more.
Card Game: Not too difficult, helps to have that $3,000 range.
Squeeze Play: Another fairly easy one here with $4995 sticking out.
Hi-Lo: Not too difficult, was pretty clear what the 3 highest priced products were.

Seems like Drew likes to give contestants more chances to change their minds on games (if the audience doesn't seem to agree with a decision) then Bob did. I'm kind of on the fence on this. What do you guys think, good/bad?

Speaking of Card Game...was anyone else afraid Pearl was actually going to go over?

Considering that in order to do that, she would have had to draw about six more cards with the rate she was going...no, can't say I was.

Hmm...I guess I just have no idea how much Ford Fusions cost, then.  Oh well.

Go between the prices of a Chevy Malibu and a Pontiac G6 and you're about right.

Hi all,

If you remember this one..... The crowd was telling me to choose the cough drops instead of the Pine-Sol, I was telling myself that Pine-Sol must be more so I went with the Pine-Sol.

In the SC I knew as soon as she bid that she was over, as you can see in my photo I said "1 dollar drew" but bid low just to be safe,

I knew I was going to be picked that day as Stan gave me a hint in the interview, If your going to a show taping and would like to know what I did to get picked PM me and I will PM you back.

Why not just post it?  I feel pretty safe in saying that there's no surefire trick to getting picked beyond being yourself and showing genuine excitement.

It's an insider thing and don't want to jeperdise my new job.

[SteveGavazzi]

How much of an insider thing could it have been if you did it before you were hired?
