HAPPY THANKSGIVING, YOU TURKEYS!!! (belatedly to Nick, since he already had his fill of turkey 6 weeks ago)
Heh, thanks, it's amazing... I was pretty much off this board for a year, yet I'm still quite recognised for whatever reason, or maybe it's because I'm vocal about how much I'm against the changes of the show. Anyhoo...
The sight of the trip skin in 2 for the Price of 1 was beauty to my eyes. How I long for them to be used in full scale again. At least next week we'll see them, though I'd really like it if the show would simply dump the green screens. I'm sure Bart himself would have to admit directing with that trip skin in 2 for the Price of 1 today was easier than any time using a green screen in any game.
I really wish Drew wouldn't dance around while the mountain climber climbs the mountain in Cliff Hangers, especially if it's because he's "so sure" of a win. He handled that loss and toss to commercial very poorly.
Anybody else catch the jump in the theme during the ticket plug?
Drew has to stop letting contestants change their mind based on every whim of the audience. First Jane in 2 for the Price of 1 then Nakita in Stack the Deck. Thankfully neither case affected the outcome of the game. If contestants can't decide for themselves, then they plainly just don't make for good contestants.
Edith's shirt was nice, but there's something about making a deal of remembering Bill Cullen yet forgetting Dennis James and Tom Kennedy that makes the effort seem unimpressive.
Drew totally shouldn't have been allowed to get away with the hinting he gave Laura in Clock Game. It was simply unfair as he pretty much implied to her she had to bid one dollar lower. Simply not proper at all. The host isn't allowed to help the contestant win. He must remain neutral, and Drew just plain didn't.
The first Showcase was written even worse than the soap opera those two characters came from. An introduction would have helped it greatly, but the whole theme being based around who was describing the prizes was just plain dumb, and Rich... gosh, I did not need to see that. That was absolutely asinine.
I'm glad we're done for the week, and especially when we're on our way to the big purple wheel of salvation. It's going to be the best week of the season by far. Bring it on.
