Half Off: That's just too bad.

IUFB #2: Classic blooper.

Race Game: Someone has the sense to take off the high heels. And it paid off.

Dice Game: This just doesn't work the way it used to.

Coming or Going: How hard can this be? It just doesn't make sense!

Stack The Deck: Why didn't he take the third digit?

Most Expensive: You CAN stop !

Showcases: Oh, come on!

[mlh1981]

A random observation..........

tapings are at 1 and 4 in the afternoon, correct?  With that said, I noticed when the iphones were being shown, the time displayed was 5:05 pm.  Did anyone else notice this?

The show must've gone wayy over 

[Todd]

I'm surprised there's no comment about Matthew's flip-flop breaking, Joe.

1/2 Off: Oh well.

Racey: Glad to see she knew exactly what she was doing. Nice win.

Dicey: A Dobish price for that Element. It's ugly anyway.

CoG: Oh for the love of the powers that be, will somebody please tell everyone that the Dob is trying for this to be won?

Stacky: He seemed to have smart friends in the audience that helped him win his car.

Most Expensive: Stopped the Dob.

Showcases: Jnelson09 pretty much summed up exactly what I thought.

Solid show today.

[jimlange]

The 4 PM show never started at 4 when Phil and I were there in January.  They usually started at anywhere from 4:15 to 4:30 and sometimes later.  I am assuming that has not changed.

½ Off: 7 just seems so obvious. I would've tried 3. Thomas and I blew it.

Race Game: It would've took me about four tries to get all four. Nice clock.

Dice Game: Oh, I can feel the hurt on this loss.

Coming or Going: If we're going to the Bahamas, ya gotta think high, like 6215.

Stack the Deck: I gotta agree with Joe. All that moving to the groceries prop and polling on the products and the numbers really got on my nerves. If you're totally clueless on the prices, maybe you can refer to the Peanut Gallery, briefly. If you're in a group, discuss prices amongst yourselves when you are outside waiting in line and get a little in your brain for a few hours. Pickpolling just wastes time.
Anyways, it was a good that the 1 was the fourth number and how Matthew picked the last number. It could've been 0.

One Bid 6: Brian did make a couple of not-so-good low bids. His 1 was a bleeder.

Most Expensive: It was either the bar set or the washer/dryer for me. The bar set seemed a little obvious of the two.

Showcases: I would've tried about 26000 on Carrie's Showcase. I would've still experienced the mrrp (and Losing Horns).

[Modor]

½ Off: 7 just seems so obvious. I would've tried 3. Thomas and I blew it.

How can a box that is, to my knowledge, randomly selected 'so obvious'?

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Stack The Deck: Why didn't he take the third digit?

Because the last number was arguably harder than the third number?

How can a box that is, to my knowledge, randomly selected 'so obvious'?

Your knowledge is incomplete.

[ayoung]

Tamiko and Amber.. ummm, it didn't cross either of their minds to take the luggage with them?.. i know they're both kinda new but jeez, they've both presented items like that before.

I thought todays stack the deck playing was full of suspense and made for good tv. Sure, he cant figure anything out by himself.. but thats pretty much everybody nowadays.

[wpghi5]

1/2 Off: Man that 2nd SP there really costs Thomas there. Yet I went with 7 too.

IUFB #2: Oh sure leave the luggage there in front of contestant's row girls especially you Tamiko. 

Race Game: Smart move by Carrie to take off her heels. It paid off and ends up winning all 4. Yet for some reason I thought the scooter would be more expensive.

Dice Game: OH THE AGONY!  Everything went fine until the last digit was revealed. Heartbreaking I tell ya! 

SCSD #1: I wanted Lebaron or Thomas to win. 

Coming Or Going: I knew that trip was $6215. The losing streak continues in this game. 

Stack The Deck: The audience didn't seem to like his choice of the coffee in the last GP. But he got it right. I would say the coffee too. Shows how they know!  My guess for the car would be $23,419. Great win by Matthew. But let the model place the number for you.   

Most Expensive: The bar set would be my choice as well.

Showcases: I had a gut feeling that it would be a double overbid. And I was right unfortunately. Not a very great way to end the show. 

[phunguy]

Half Off: I went with 12.  I woulda won, too.

IFUB #2: This isn't the bus stop, ladies! There's a show to do here.

Race Game: Great playing there by the Carrie, Race Game is her game, and boy, she can play.

IFUB #3: Remember, it's the jewelry, kids, not the setting, so getcha heads outta the gutter.

Dice Game: Honda Element has all the aerodynamics of a brick, as the late Benny Parsons would tell you. As for the playing of this game, "Oh the pain, the shame!" as Dr. Zachary Smith once stated.  Once again you CAN'T STOP ^(R) (Brand name, not an adjective.)

Coming or Going: Wrong way = loss. I called Coming in chat as did most everyone else.

Stack The Deck: I would have gone second-third-fourth, knowibng the lowest number left was the first. But Matthew won an EVERLASTING DOBSTOPPER AWARD^TM for going 2-3-5.

Most Expensive: Daniel, we here in chatroom thought the dinette was a cheap one, too.  And for you, an EVERLASTING DOBSTOPPER AWARD^TM for your efforts.

Showcases: I called the double overbid first.

[Joe_Capitano]

IFUB #x:

Try One-Bid. You can't FUB that.

[SteveGavazzi]

How can a box that is, to my knowledge, randomly selected 'so obvious'?

Very little on The Price Is Right that looks random is actually random.

[catdogwheel]

I haven't watched it yet but it sounds like the show had lots of bummers. But if there is an upside for the last show of this week it's that Shane will be back!

[BRB_TheFireball]

Halfy:  Kinda weird hearing a jewelry IUFB cue as a SP cue.  Thomas thought that puny toiletry bag was $50?!  *grumble*

One-Bid #2:  It helps to take the luggage when you leave.  We can't see the contestants or the bids when the bags are still there.

Race:  That is how you play this game!

Dice:  Foreign car + Dice Game =   I can't believe that he was actually right about the middle number being higher than 4.  It's just too bad that he got screwed by the evil last number of 1.

Coggy:  Another loss... but I don't blame the contestant on this one.  Either price was logical.

Rig the Cards:  I believe this is the first time that the contestant placed the cards in the slots by himself/herself.  I never would've guess a price like $23,619 for that car.  Matthew gets a Dobstopper Deluxe® Award.

ME:  Easy.

My showcase bids:
Trailer--$22,007
Random room/trip--$20,007
