TRIPLE PLAY: Interesting camera angle (I thought it was going to be three-trip Most Expensive/One Wrong Price) and a loss at the third car. I honestly thought Drew was going to smack the camera while throwing to commercial!
CLIFF HANGERS (AKA The Yodel Man's Game): Yvonne looked very nervous/shaken after she came up on stage, and Drew's response after he touched her shoulder was quite funny! The 'you won't know whether to eat the telephone or answer the burger!' joke was bad (sorry Rich) but the win was very close with a great throw to commercial afterward!
CHECK GAME: Yay, new check look! Surprising that they had magic marker pens (and Price) back in 1872
SCSD #1: A $1,000 win by the unexcited Triple Play lady and a 'Hi...Drew' from Yvonne. Too bad she lost.
TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE: Yay, pink lights! He very wisely took the second number free. Did anybody notice that the '9' flashed when it was pulled down?
IUFB #5: I wouldn't have said a $7 bid wins it. Then again, stranger things have happend on the various versions of this show (regardless of whether Bob or whoever isn't Roger will admit it or not).
MONEY GAME: Yay, 36 is where 35 was last year! I said 'El Cheapo' and would've won a car.
MOST EXPENSIVE: I went with the grill and lost (it was only $1,300?). Drew REALLY needs to stop giving Dell free endorsements.
SCSD #2: Hi, Cleveland!
SHOWCASES: Rich really should've been the mob boss. Either that or let the models talk during the skits. Or both with Rich talking; I miss those days...
A $144 Double Showcase Winner ends a great show!

OVERALL: Great contestants, great wins (including A DSW!), and great Drew (especially his false reveal in Triple Play and his reaction to Yvonne). 8/10
BEST CONTESTANT: Yvonne; Just great!
COMMERCIALS: A Burlington Coat Factory one was just...ugh. Very...dumb. And bad. Dumbly bad; Same for Vicks and Swiffer ones. As well as a life insurance commercial (I'm pretty certain that a couple wouldn't talk at length about Colonial Penn unless they're in The Truman Show).
