FULL RECAP - TPiR 04/16/2008

I did the math on this one.  There's a 70% chance of beating 0.30 in one spin.  ...

Oh, you did (.7) + (.3*.7). Including .30 as a tie, I did (.75)^2. I think it is independent events, not dependent...I knew something looked wrong.

Switch?: "Since we switched them recently, let's leave them alone this time."

Plinko: Oooh, $20,000!

More or Less: I did not know what that golf thing was, but I knew to say LESS for that.

Balance Game: I stepped out for a second. When I came back, methought 7693 is too much for whatever prize they had. I was right.

Range Game: Sometimes you get this feeling the price is just over the stopped range....

Pick-a-Pair: The FFBC members could've picked-a-pair from the Row if it wasn't for Jessica's escape. Anyways, I would've tried the lotion and the clog remover. But the easy way is to try the Hot Pockets and the pastries.

I have to give Brock the EVERLASTING DOBSTOPPER^TM AWARD for his 4-for-4 performance in the SP part of PL!NKO!, then turning it into a $21,500 payoff.

And Ccook, I know we had the same thing you had - a minute and a half of ads before the first IFUB.  Thank God for manual overriding.

When I get my new computer (with Windows XP) next week, I'll be happy happy joy joy to join you in chatopolis.

Was Pick A Pair actually edited?  I have never seen that fast of a jump to the products, ever!

Wow, we got a live shot of Drew for the first time since his first taped episode that aired back on November 27, 2007!  I liked that, it hearkens back to how Paul Alter used to have live shots of the audience/contestants when televisions were presented.

Uh, I think Drew meant to say "What's next, Rich?" instead of "Who's next?" when throwing to the clam opening.

Was the "Less" card for the electric golf caddy a new one?  I can't recall seeing one with that color combination for either "More" or "Less" cards.

I don't think I have seen anyone try to place the smaller bags on the table with the big bag before in Balance Game.

It kind of irks me that, with Range Game and Balance Game played back-to-back, that they opted to play Range Game for the car instead of Balance Game.  We have seen Range Game played for cars lots of time but Balance Game was played for a car only once, back on October 12, 2006.  Come on, Roger, play Balance Game for a car again...

I found it interesting that the cameras showed Drew by himself explaining the rules to Pick-a-Pair instead of showing both him and the contestant.

Is it me or did the cue for the first showcase sound like a variant of one of the car cues on the show?

Your complaint about Range Game, and not Balance Game, for the car seems reasonable enough, goldie.  I think there's a pretty good reason for going with Range Game instead, though:  Roger wanted that car lost!  And it was a lot easier for Roger to make sure it was lost by putting it in Range Game, as opposed to Balance Game.
