Five Price Tags on Monday, Pathfinder on Tuesday, Switcheroo on Wednesday... think there's any chance Roger's treating us with a finale week of all the small prize car games played? Ooh, we can only hope to see Master Key and Spelling Bee over the next two days!
I really like how Kristi played Switcheroo. While yes, she did place the number in the car price second, she did look everything over, and put everything in spaces to make the prices look reasonable. Then, after getting only 1 right on the first try, she carefully looked everything over, and seemed to put actual thought into what to change. Good job, Kristi, getting all five right! Or just the car: that's what counts, right? Almost as fun as yesterday's Pathfinder segment!
Speaking of Kristi, why did she ask for Bob to help her spin the wheel? She looked fairly fit. She wasn't tiny. She was young. For some reason, though, she didn't even try to spin it once.
I wish Bob would start making sure that the contestant really does know how to play Check Game when they say they do. Not that Connie really did anything to make me believe she didn't know how to play. Really, Connie had no chance of winning anyway.
It doesn't bother me so much today that Bullseye was won with the hidden bullseye. The last time Bullseye was won like that, Roger obviously had no intent for the game to be won that way, and it was disgusting to see it happen. The difference today was that Roger obviously wanted the game won by any means possible today: anyone who picked the cookies essentially had an automatic win! A 60% chance of winning for doing nothing... not sure I like it, but at least Roger
meant for that to happen this time.
I'm betting Ronald's neighbors wish that Ronald
would have lost Barker's Bargain Bar
!
Cool! John made a PSP reference: actual reason for it too!
I like it more when contestants bid $xx,500 instead of $xx,000. It creates better suspense when you realize that the contestant might be over when Bob reads the first two numbers.
Has there ever been a show before where all three second half contestants won a car
?

You can't honestly have expected
any normal person to have won Check Game today. It was a forced loss, plain and simple. At least if you don't count anyone on this forum.
