I'd bet almost anything that the hidden bullseye was behind the squeegee.  If that was the case, it was a trickier than usual setup for Bullseye, anyway.

Drew didn't seem concerned today that Audrey wasn't doing the hyahs in Punch a Bunch today.  I'm actually a little surprised Audrey wasn't doing them, too.  She seemed like someone who'd have "got it."

[UAB-Kirksville]

One Right Price and Double Prices in the same show? Lame.

[BRB_TheFireball]

1RP:  1 Right Price for 3 prizes... now that's an interesting idea.

Tempty:  Somebody fell asleep in the control booth today. The Dodge Nitro is nice, but how can anybody pass up $3,443 in cash?  This was a more difficult setup than usual, as the correct second, third, and fourth digits were all only one away from the false digits.

Bully:  It's the annual playing of Bullseye in the first half!

SCSD #1:  Hi, Roger!  *sigh*  Roger...

L7:  OMG, fourth!  This was not quite a forced loss.  If you got the 1 right and then called 5s the rest of the way, you won.  I would've lost cuz I was half-expecting that last number to be a 1.

Punchy:  OMG, fifth!  Not a win, but it produced roughly the same result as Temptation.

Dubba:  Why was "Car Slide Remix" played for a go-kart?

SC #1:  Nope.  That soda fountain is way more than $3,000.  Stage garf.

SC #2:  Felicia covered the cappuccino machine and piano, but that's it.  Stage garf #2.

My showcase bids:
Car--$33,107
Room/piano--$27,007

[rob79]

1 Right Price AND Double Prices in the same show? That's just weird.  Just goes to show you can't stop the Dob.

Speaking of the Dob, it was nice to see him get some face time during the 1st SCSD today.

[TPIR1990]

One Right Price and Double Prices in the same show? Lame.

I agree. Wouldn't this be one of those conflicts?

[JokerFan]

I agree. Wouldn't this be one of those conflicts?

No.  Steve mentioned in this thread that the games don't conflict.

[TPIR1990]

I must have missed that when I read the post way back when. Thanks JokerFan, although, they really should conflict, because that's just blah having them together.

[goldroadfanatic]

I laughed at how Drew started to say that three prizes were in the offering but then someone told him that there were only two.

Unless someone can prove Drew and the Dob wrong, I find it amazing that 1 Right Price has been played 1000 times as of today, and it took 33 years to get there.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of the older games, namely Double Prices have passed that threshold.  I thought it was great for Drew to mention that on the air.

Speaking of 1 Right Price, this is the cheapest offerings the game featured this season.  Those two prizes totaled a mere $3012!  This is the first time since October 25, 2004 that both prizes added up to less than $3500.

I laughed at how the Temptation board went out when they were changing the number from a zero to a one.  Also, I wonder if Drew just forgets to open the window for the first number even though we know it's right when it comes to the reveal.  

Roger clearly did not want the car won in Temptation.  With the exception of the last prize, every choice of numbers was one away from each other.  It's a good thing Marsha bailed out with those gifts, especially with the fishbowl of cash.  

Wow, Bullseye in the first half for the first time since December 15, 2006 (the same day Bob revealed the car's price too early in Cover Up, resulting in a technical win)!

I loved how the Dob got some camera time today when Drew was told that the spinning order was a bit messed up.

Anthony really killed his chances of winning with that third number.  The price was pretty tricky, unless the first number was guessed on the nose and the rest of the guesses were fives, then the contestant could have still won with just one dollar left.

I wonder why Bart used a shot to include the model when revealing the prices of the SPs in Punch-a-Bunch.  

It's great Audrey won $5000 in Punch-a-Bunch, she was very excited to be on the show.  It's a shame that she didn't do a Chuck Norris yell when punching, because she looked like she could have gotten into it very well.

[thewhammy_2000]

1 Right Price: 1,000 times? Wow. I just had this inkling the exercise bike was $1099 and the skis were lower. I was right on the first and important inkling.

One Bid 2: I didn't realize we got another stupid bid until Drew mentioned it. I cannot recall anybody doing that before.

Temptation: Once again, cash being a lot more than all the other prizes combined makes me want to bailout.

bullseye. why the polling of the grocery products? unless you're trying to look for the (tricky product with the) hidden bullseye, then just take a blind guess as to how many of said product would you pay ten dollars for. i had to check that winning total on a calculator. i thought it was a malfunction at first. it is right

Showcase Showdown 1: Whenever there's a problem, we always had Roger Dob rectify it. I weep for a second.

Lucky Seven: I just felt that picking 6 would be a very risky pick. It was.

One Bid 5: Even I said 2 for Melana.

Punch-a-Bunch: I wasn't in the mood to take a huge chance after the $5000, even if it was pretend.

One Bid 6: Seems like Fawzia and Felicia were the smart ones, but Fawzia jumped the gun a little early. Once again, a 2 bid could've/would've worked for Melana.

Double Prices: I wanted to say $4598, but I just rembered recently that the right price was on the bottom. I might be wrong on that.

[themountainclimber]

Drew: "Light up the 1!
(0 lights up)
uh.. Audrey said the 1.
(all numbers disappear)
Okay, Audrey you're not getting the car."

LOL!

[left4thehouse]

1RP: Made it to 1,000, but not with three prizes up for grabs
TEMP: The fish bowl makes ya forget about the Nitro, don't it?
BULL: Select product first, then poll audience. Don't change the order.
SS1: Roger plays ?Switch?, and wins. Over/under on the thumbs up avatar for members, 2.5
L7: Tempermental arrangment
PaB: Good directing Bart! Shades of Mr. Breslow and a fine bailout
DB: Aw, whaddado?

An outright fun show with bonus points for the old school line up and (the final?) Roger appearance.

[JokerFan]

One Right Price:  I was wondering when the game would top the 1,000 mark.  As for Drew's build-up, at least he didn't imply a car or money could be won this game.

Unless someone can prove Drew and the Dob wrong, I find it amazing that 1 Right Price has been played 1000 times as of today, and it took 33 years to get there.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of the older games, namely Double Prices have passed that threshold.

Altogether, there are 9 games that have been played over 1,000 times.  Check out this thread to see which games they are.

Temptation:  Despite the fact that I got the car price right, I would have bailed out, especially since there was money as one of the prizes.  I'm glad that Marsha did the right thing.

Lucky $even: The 3rd number was killer for me too.  My guess was $23,455.

Punch-a-bunch:  Drew didn't mention Audrey not doing the Chuck Norris yell.  I wonder if this means he doesn't care if the contestant does it or not.

Double Prices:  I instantly picked $4598.  It just seemed more right than $5589.  Maybe because the latter ended with a 9, although I'm sure there are playings where the choice that ended with a 9 was right.

SC1: My Bid: $33,264 / Diff: $2,771
SC2: My Bid: $18,745 / Diff: $10,842

[PIR85]

ONEBID #1:  There must have been an edit here.  There was no reason to cut to a shot of Drew between the first & second bids by Sheri and Malena respectively.

1 RIGHT PRICE: Awesome historical reference, Drew.  Throwing these tidbits in there keeps the "historical" information tradition alive.

TEMPTATION: Malfunctions like these should not get edited out.  I'm glad they left this in there.  Drew handled it great!  Also funny to hear these words for their irony: "You had the last two numbers wrong - good for you."

BULLSEYE: Chace... over here, the turntable, YEAH right here - behind that giant camera!  There you are, welcome aboard.  The GP description prize cue was weird.  I didn't like it.  Also, the card for "Candy" was redder than the other four grocery items - that was weird.

SCSD #1:  Hi, Roger.  Great to see your smile on air for, possibly, the last time. 

PUNCH-A-BUNCH: I can't remember - are those the slip covers they've been using lately?  I don't recall them looking like that.

SIDE NOTE:  The yellow onebid display was awful today.  Once when a contestant bid $1, I didn't even see it light up at all, I just heard a Ding.  That needs to be fixed soon, I hope!

SIDE NOTE #2:  Drew was on top of his game today.  One of his best episodes this season, IMO.  Good job.  You are ready for the next season! (Here's hoping they don't go and change things on you, Drew!)

[PimpinJC]

Yay, Sheri has a chance to win one two three TWO prizes on its 1000th playing!   Congratulations, 1 Right Price!  And congratulations to Sheri who won on the historic moment.

I don't blame Marsha for taking the prizes in Temptation.  What with nearly $3500 in cash plus almost every digit being a toss-up, she did the smart thing.

Really close differences in the two differences during the Showcases.
