The Countdown is on...

[Voltron291]

Volton said that he was at a taping where Drew said that he learned all 75 games.  My guess on the last pricing game to appear, either Poker Game or Joker.  I actually like these two games.

I never said that he has played all 75 games... just that he has learned all 75 games.

5 Price Tags has the same setup as Joker.  You can get all 4 SPs and still lose.   I actually happen to like Joker.  It's different than the rest and it's nice change every once in a while.  I would rather have Joker over That's Too Much ANY day.

The key difference here, though, is that in Joker, you can know all the prices and still lose.  That "flaw" doesn't exist in Five Price Tags.

It is possible that they just did not inform Drew that they are retiring a game, but it is most likely that Drew just announced the wrong number.  I can't see them taking the time to teach Drew a game they are just going to retire.  OR could it be that a new pricing game is entering the rotation?  Huh, Huh?  That's probably not true, but I did wanna stir the pot a little bit, lol.

If you don't know the price of the car, it does.  I guess I am not understanding.  I am just looking at it setup wise.  Joker is blind luck, but in a sense so is 5 Price Tags.  Unless your a cool minded person with one heck of a memory, your mind turns to mush up there on that stage.  9 times out of ten, you're not going to remember a $21,912 priced Ford Ranger.  Steve, you know better than I, where is the flaw in Joker, but not in 5 price Tags that I am not seeing?

5 Price Tags has the same setup as Joker.  You can get all 4 SPs and still lose.

BIG difference: 5 Price Tags is all about pure knowledge of the price of a car. If I see a price tag that says $23,888 or $19,071 I'd avoid it like the plague! If you lose with all four choices (Like that lady did last season), you don't know about car pricing. Plus the little trick about all car prices ending in a 5 or 0.

Joker is pure luck. I could win all four prizes and STILL not know where the Joker is to win the game!

Joker is more like Secret X, you can price the small prizes correctly and still lose (I like Secret X too).  5 Price Tags is similar if you're clueless about car prices.

I repeat:  Something is getting retired.

Seriously, folks...we wouldn't tell you something like this if it weren't true.

Let me clear this one up...the fact is, Drew HAS learned 75 games.  But, pursuant to his learning all 75 of them, the producers decided to kill one of those games.  Logical conclusion?  One of them was either a bit more than Drew either could handle (or wanted to handle).  Regardless, how many game's he's LEARNED and how many games are ACTIVE are two completely separate statistics.

I know the rules of, say, Super $aver and Superball!, backwards and forwards, but those games are inactive.  Drew might know the rules to Give or Keep, or Hit Me, but that doesn't really mean anything.

It may be logical, but I'm under the impression it isn't what happened.

[jimlange]

I never said that they didn't retire a game Steve.  I just said that:
A. Drew did learn all 75 games and they just decided to retire one or
B. (and most likely)  Drew just announced the wrong number of games.  My logic for that was why would they teach him a game just to retire it anyways.  That seems like a waste of time.  Time they don't have.  Especially now.  My saying that they are going to introduce a new game making the count 75 was just a joke.  Apparently, a bad one that nobody got.  I know the count is 74 and I know they have retired a game.

True, but you should at least know the difference between a $21,912 Ford Ranger and a $17,150 Ford Ranger.  If you can do that, you'll win the car (since two of the choices will always be around $4,000 apart).

Personally, I'm hoping that Clearance Sale finally clearances out. (I've stated my reasons before.)

The one I think will get it? Poker.....it really has nothing to do with prices......unless you know something's $900-$999 or something...

[supersaver87]

Well, I think there is SOMETHING going on with Poker Game.
 
In the "What will Drew's last game to learn be?" thread, John quoted four people who liked Poker Game and responded "You guys are a-o-k in my book." Maybe it meant that was the last game. Or maybe that's the retired one, and a-o-k was supposed to stand for "all off-kilter". 

Though personally, I'm hoping that Joker's the one getting the boot...

Unless of course Roger's doing a stunt like he did this year on December 10th and January 11th where EVERY price ended in 5 or 0!   Yikes!

I must say I hope it's Step Up. This game is rarely won.

I can't believe they're renaming "Barker's Markers" Make Your Mark...that's horrible! More unnecessary changes
