FULL RECAP - TPiR 10/08/2008

[Superfan]

Drew said "sh!t" for the second time this week on camera!  Did anyone catch it?  What's with the profesionalism?  And that Dorothy showcase was poorly introduced.

[pricefan18]

Where was this? I don't recall hearing it.

[JokerFan]

When was the first time?  and second time?

[Cartboy]

Most Expensive:  Good job!
Punch A Bunch:  $1,000 is not bad at all.  I like the change, but I also think they should make one of the $1,000 slips $10,000.
That's Too Much:  And it's another loss!    They seriously need to retire this game!
2 For The Price Of 1:  Ouch!   I'm guessing this is not a wipeout because they give the contestant one free number.
Bullseye:  Too bad!   I think this is the first time that Bullseye has been lost with Drew Carey.
Push Over:  I thought for sure Fren should've pushed it one more number.  Shows what I know!

An okay show overall, IMHO.

BTW — I think, Steve, with your response to woohookitty's post, you may have taken the quote "Bob did the same thing often" out of context by posting it with his response to Drew's mistake in Bullseye. woohookitty was referring to the contestant's having slept in line all night so he could get tickets.

Brian, you're absolutely right.  The current board software doesn't process quotes within quotes properly, and when I went to reply to Woohookitty this morning, I mistakenly read both of his statements as a single thought.  I apologize for that.

Superfan:

If Drew indeed use a strong profanity on the air, we'd already know about it and CBS would have been fined very heavily (remember the so-called "wardrobe accident" involving Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson on live TV?).

Remember, too, this is a pre-taped show, not live television. Freemantle can easily edit profanity out. Now if Drew swore in the studio during taping, that's still not right ... but at least it wouldn't make it to air.

...except John has checked the episode multiple times and confirms that it did.

Drew said "sh!t" for the second time this week on camera!  Did anyone catch it? 

I want to know when and why this occurred.

[SamTheSham]

The first time was earlier this week, during Card Game when there was some confusion about the contestant's use of the Ace and the reveal of the price.  The other time was in this episode, when Drew was looking to see what the contestant had won with their "Second Chance" in Punch a Bunch.

In Drew's defense, both times have been someone off camera is trying to communicate with him, and it's flustering him.  You can't blame him for that.  He probably didn't even realize he did it.

It's really the fault of the producers and the editors.  Aaaaaaalll the people in the control room, and no one noticed?

[PriceForever]

It's really the fault of the producers and the editors.  Aaaaaaalll the people in the control room, and no one noticed?

And they have a lot of producers now.  In Bob's day there was an Executive Producer (Bob), a Producer (Roger), and an Associate Producer.

Now they have an Executive Producer, a co-executive producer, a producer, two co-producers, and an associate producer.   So it is amazing that none of these people noticed!

[Millionaire81]

It's also amazing how many here didn't notice either.

[PimpinJC]

Punch-a-Bunch-The way Drew did his reveal, I thought Jeffrey had won at least $5,000.  $1,000 is not bad of a consolation prize, though.  Although I wish they had at least gotten rid of the $50 amounts when they updated the distribution.  $50, especially these days, seems like a joke on Price.

That's Too Much-I'm glad Drew didn't continue until he made Lawrence say "that's too much!"  I thought for sure he had won.

2 for 1-Great start by asking for the last number, but Jacqueline crashed when she said a 4 as the first number in the sofa.

Bullseye-Wow, for a car at that!  I thought it was funny when Drew said it was an easy game, yet he messed up explaining the rules.  I was thinking to myself "Gee, I hope the hidden bullseye is not behind the rolls" when Drew was about to reveal it.  The way Drew explained it, it seemed as if he would've won if the hidden bullseye was behind the rolls, which would have led to an awkward moment if the bullseye would have been there.

Showcases-I spy the Golden Road rainbow behind the Explorer.

Most: The wine cabinet was the way to go.   

Punch: With a $10K and a $25K slip involved, It looks like things in this game will get more interesting. $1K beats a measily $50 bucks any day.

TTM: I actually thought Lawrence stopped at the right price and Drew trying to tell him what he needs to say was quite hilarious.

2 for 1: Oh, Jacqueline!! Where do you shop?

Bullseye: Maybe this just wasn't Michael's game and I'm starting to fear the worse if Drew makes a boo-boo like that one again. 

Push: Very nice.

Showcases: The 1st showcase was a bit good unlike all the ones we've been getting and nice to see the GR rainbow, too. Did Michael really break that bed? 

A 3-star show.

[ClockGameJohn]

Now they have an Executive Producer, a co-executive producer, a producer, two co-producers, and an associate producer. 

There are now three Co-Producers and no Associate Producer.
