For next season, Drew should really stop forcing the second turn on contestants.  I know technically the contestant could leave things as-is during the second turn if they wanted to, but that would make it such a waste when they could have just bailed out.
Or, if they think the car is right, they can just monkey around with the other four blocks for 30 seconds.  What does that hurt?

When I watched the show, it sounded like Drew did give the contestant the option to quit.  Drew said you take quit if you want to or take a second chance.  The contestant said "yah" meaning he did want the second chance, although he did say "yah" in a quiet voice.

Two things I didn't like about this playing:
1.  Drew wasted time for the last 15 seconds rather than preceding with the game.  With all the time cuts, those 15 seconds will come in handy.
2.  Drew said "I don't care if you win the small prizes".  He should care--about any prize in fact.  He has said something like "Don't worry about the small prizes" in the past but never that he doesn't care if a contestant wins the small prizes or not.  He shouldn't say either line.  He should hope that contestants win all the prizes and the contestant should be worried about winning all the prizes.

Yes...the way Drew handles those is disappointing.

Note to Drew, on the off chance you're reading this:  The key to Switcheroo is to emphasize the importance of the smaller items, not the car.  Have the player try to get them right first, and then put the block in the car by elimination, since the tens number in the price of the car isn't exactly 'deducable'.

Yes, I agree!

It's funny sometimes how he makes fun of the smaller prizes, but I don't know if the sponsors would be happy about him saying "I don't care about ___________."  However, I think that is part of his comic nature.

Check: I would've wrote $2,600 on my check. I had a strange hunch that Sauna was less than $2500.

Switcheroo: 3 was just right to be in the price of that car. Great win.  :biggrin:

OWP: Very nice.

CoG: Is it me or is seeing this game lost starting to get funny (in a hilarious way)?  :P

TTM: Beverly and I think just alike. Yes, Sir!!!  :biggrin:

Hi Lo: The nasal spray had "Hi" written all over it.  :-(

Showcases: I also noticed the major grand total blunder. Hope no one faced the shaft for that.  :P

A 3.25-star show.
