After the first half of the show, I was just about ready to praise the pricing game lineup... then the second half hit. Although I didn't mind seeing Pass the Buck, it would have been nice to see something like Take Two instead of One Wrong Price and
anything other than Pick-a-Number.
Switcheroo: Tough luck here, although having five consecutive numbers made this quite tough. Still, I found it pretty obvious that the lantern and the voice recorder were fairly expensive, so the car was likely to have a lower number.
Make Your Move: This was a piece of cake. The four possible prices for the tea set were $289, $940, $081, and $160. Of these, $940 was the only one that made any sense whatsoever, which made the other two prices fall into place.
Side By Side: I thought $3,348 looked too cheap. Unfortunately, Susan and I were both wrong.
Showcase Showdown 1: Thank you all for the Vegas Wheel explanation -- I'd have never figured that out on my own! I agree that Drew should have said something about it to the viewers; I knew something was amiss when the beeps were out of sync. I liked the font, though.
One Wrong Price: The sofa looked like it was priced too high, although I can easily see how somebody would think the lawn mower was worth more than $980.
Pass the Buck: Susan had some bad luck on the board.
Pick-a-Number: I see they saved the worst game for last. $7,500 was definitely the obvious choice. Too bad Lauren didn't go with it.
Showcase Showdown 2: Rodney came
so close to winning... tough luck.
Showcases: I managed to get my first money win on CSS by missing the first showcase by just $482!
This is probably dead wrong, but I figured $10,000 for the dining room, $8,000 for the jukebox, and around $500-$1,000 for the dance lessons. Unfortunately, my glory was short-lived, because I then immediately garfed the car. As I said in the CSS thread, I need to realize that a Chrysler 300 is worth more than $20K.
