Safe Crackers- Wow, could that be any more of a layup? Simple.

Showcase- SHOWCASES ON STEROIDS!!! Man, that was crazy.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY- Brenda.

SHOW SUMMARY AND GRADE- Decent show today... Grade: 2

It's very frustrating when contestants don't pick the "95" price in Coming or Going.  That's got nothing to do with being a loyal viewer, either:  every price everywhere for almost anything in real life ends in 95!  Or at least any advertised price.  Why don't people pick up on this?  Or actually, they do.  In Money Game at least, which of course, doesn't really help them win that, but still, contestants picking 95 in Money Game is a lot more understandable than contestants not picking 95 in Coming or Going.

Speaking of Coming or Going, anyone notice the lights weren't working today?  It look fine in the far shots, but it looked like it had a bad case of blackheads close up (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/smile4.txt).

When was the last time the SP and GP games were played fifth and sixth, regardless of which was which?

When was the last time a contestant missed the thousands digit in Temptation, anyway?  As much as I want to say Bob's guess of 1979 is exaggeration, I honestly can't recall a single time it's happened before.

Today's Safe Crackers reveal was the coolest thing they've done since they've started opening the doors before Bob got to them.  Just starting on the "Safe," then panning out to the full name and then to Bob and the contestant... I hope this becomes permanent!

I don't like Broyhill.  They don't seem to be as consistently cheap as Ashley, or as consistently expensive as Aico, making them harder to price.

Was that real perfume sprayed on the contestants at the end of the first showcase?

Post by: BobboChung on June 06, 2006, 01:27:07 PM
Safe Crackers: Very easy. No way those helmets could be $240.

Temptation: This however, was VERY hard. I had a bad feeling that 0 as the second digit would trip up somebody, and it did. All of the numbers in the car were low. I would have only got one digit right myself (my guess was $20,590). Unless it is suddenly played one last time this season (possibly on the other postponed episode of the season), this game just got kicked into the Winless for the Season Club with Triple Play. And Bob, you know nothing about history.

Coming Or Going: I knew it was $3,995, but not she.

Most Expensive: Very easy.

Switcheroo: Putting 9 in the truck was a horrible move.

Bullseye: A near-$10,000 prize was won in this game!

Showcases: Brady didn't have much to work with, as the first showcase was hard to win, given that the car in there was not a sportscar. As soon as the other person made her bid, I knew Brady had lost, so I didn't bother watching the final segment.

Overall: They tried making today's show good, with Temptation, Switcheroo, and a big Showcase, but today's show was pretty boring. Most contestants played very poorly.

safecrackers: i personally thought it was $240. how could helmets be $210 EACH?
iufb 2: wouldn't charmaine's 3rd bid qualify as a stupid bid after alex bid $425?
temptation: the mustang curse strikes again. a v6 engine is nothing super-special, so i knew she was totally wrong with that 6! along with roger being evil on the last digit, the case was clear for her to stop. i knew the 0 was second, so the 5 would probably be the last, and the 3 would therefore be third. i would have been tripped up by the fourth, as i guessed 9 (how many times has that 9 tripped up cover up players?).
cog: absolutely NO reason to lose this.
most expensive: ditto. the dinette was screaming to be picked.
iufb 5: i would have also overestimated the fireplace. even electric fireplaces are usually expensive.
switcheroo: i thought the 2 or the 3 was right until she put the 9 in. then i was rudely shocked when my 1st idea was right!
bullseye: i have seen the sunflower seeds and knew 10 would slam dunk, however i guessed the dressing was $3.99 given the frequent evil prices on it.
showcases: i knew brady had lowballed, but not THAT much. the gts must be even more expensive than a regular sebring.

I would like to go on record as saying I loved the perfume showcase. By far one of the best this season.

Temptation was rather anti-climactic today.

Brady was almost the perfect example of how a contestant can still take advantage of being the ninth of nine to be called down.  He made a very good bid on the washer and dryer, won Bullseye handily, and just got tripped up on what has to be at least a $31,000 Sebring.  I've been waiting to see a ninth contestant to win their game and the showcase, and Brady's been the closest in a long time.

It would be easy to say that Temptation was not set up for a win, but it's almost cruel to play this game for a Mustang coupe, because everybody always assumes that the Mustang is at least $25,000.  Unfortunately, unless it's the convertible, it never is.  I think a Mustang coupe has been won recently, but it sure doesn't seem like it.  In any event, Kristin should have taken the prizes, because even had the zero been there instead of the six, the price still didn't look right.  I would wager that Bob asked multiple times if she was sure she wanted to go for the car because he knew that she didn't have it right.

I would also echo the statement that today's perfume showcase theme is one of the best of this season, if not all time.  And not a bad array of prizes either!

Safe Crackers: Not a hard choice at all... $240 just didn't sound like it was enough...

Temptation: This was a lost cause the second she took that 6... Not that the 5 or 0 were good guesses, either.. She should've taken the gifts and ran. :-?

Coming Or Going: Knowing that the "Teardrop" camper is less expensive than the "Five Wide", this was a very easy choice.. Besides, $5,993 didn't quite look right. Oy...

Most Expensive: While I wasn't sure if this was one of the less expensive treadmills, the dining room just seemed like the smarter choice...

Switcheroo: I knew some of these prices, but not all of them.. I hadn't seen that particular breakfast maker before, but was fairly sure on the other three SP.. Not only did Brenda commit the cardinal sin of filling in the truck before the other prizes on her first turn, but I think she totally confused herself on her second turn.. :-?

Bullseye: One of these days a contestant will realize those sunflower seeds are $1.09.. Still, he nailed it with the salad dressing.. And two out of six is, well... Still not good.

Showcases: Brady obviously was way off on his showcase.. Mind you, my guess of $33,500 would've been way off, too, but $24,500 wasn't even going to cover that car... Showcases with Seabrings seem to throw people off as badly as Mustangs. :-?

Charmaine's bid, while not good, was good enough (heck, she could've bid $1,000 and won, after all)... I was thinking $17,000 on hers...

Safe Crackers today seemed easy to me. And I noticed Bob didn't have her spin the wheel around 3 times; of course, I don't see Safe that often, but I just noticed it.

Temptation: That was hard, for most contestants, even. Gscentral.net has a pic of just one number right. Well, 2 if you count the first number, but there was only 4 numbers.

I did like how Bob said you can change all 5 numbers. "Bob, I want to change the first number."  :-P

I would have taken those prizes, myself, just because of that last prize.  :-)

I would have thought most contestants would have chosen the $3,995, just because it ends it a 5. I guess not this one. Which is good, in a way.

Most Expensive seemed easy today. That's all I have to say about that game.  :-)

Switcheroo: Didn't we just see this last Monday? Oh, wait a minute....... Anyway, she didn't change 2 prizes on her second prize. Not that it mattered much.

$11 for that disco thing? I need to watch the show more often; I thought it was the 9!

I was glad to see the 9th contestant get up, and win a pricing game. Of course, I'm usually happy to see contestants win a pricing game.  :-)

That car showcase........I can't say much; I only bid $50 more than him.  :-)

Well, I reviewed it today. See if I see it tomorrow. Some famous guy is coming to our city tomorrow. What was his name? Bash, Besh, Bish, Bosh. Well, I'll think of it.  :-)

PG #1 - To me, $240 seemed too cheap to be a Safecrackers prize.  I went with $420.  :-(

PG #2 - If we were playing for a Mustang convertible, $26,520 would be an acceptable price.  This audience should know better.  They should not have told her to take the 6 as the second number.  If this game was gonna be lost, it should've been lost on the fourth number.  That was the toughest number up there, and amazingly, she had that one right.  I had $20,395.

PG #3 - Should not have been lost.  Any price that ends in 95 in this game is gonna be right.

PG #4 - Also should not have been lost.

PG #6 - If that container of Tidy Cats was $7.47, it had no business being in this game.

Showcases - "No, Brady!  That won't even cover the price of the convertible!"

My bids - Convertible:  $34,800.  Random room/spa:  $13,900.

I'm sorry, but the Safe Crackers reveal just sucks these days.  I honestly don't think there's any way to fix it besides going back to doing it the same way as Five Price Tags.

Temptation was set up to be lost and lost early.  I knew it wouldn't be won as soon as I saw the price of the first gift.

And you know, given that Temptation probably isn't going to be played again between now and the end of the season, and given that it almost had to be played on September 27...we could have the odd circumstance arise of the last Temptation playing to get aired on a new show this year actually being its first playing of the season.

Coming or Going was also set up to be lost, and lost badly -- the wrong price was higher, but it ended in a 3.

Rich was awesome in the first showcase...although the showcase itself was pretty strange. (http://www.golden-road.net/grnoldx/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

Why are you sad?  $420 was the right price.  The contestant went with $420.  You went with $420.  Are you sad she won?

And a few seasons ago--Season 30 I think--they actually offered a pair of TVs worth $260 in Safe Crackers.  We here were all shocked.  I think the losing contestant was, too.

You trust Roger too little.  To my knowledge, Roger has never used a product in this game that was impossible to win with, and I don't believe Roger ever would do that.

Safe Crackers: Yes, Steve, the old reveal was a WHOLE lot better.  Playing wise: I knew the helmets were $420.

Temptation:I knew Kristin lost as soon as she said 6 as the 2nd # and left it there.

Coming or going: I knew $3995 was correct.

Most expensive: I had a feeling the dinette was the Most Expensive.

Showcases: I loved the perfume skit, one of the best showcases of the year.  But I knew Brady was way off on this.  I would have said $30,000 and still be off.  But $24,500 wasn't even near that price of the convertible.

Temptation:  When she had picked 6, I knew she had lost.  I went completely the opposite of her, $20,395, like quite a few people on this board.  I would have lost too, but at least I was closer than she was.  

Coming or Going:  EASY!  $3995 was just correct, no way around it.  I can't believe this was lost.  

Most Expensive:  I knew the dinette would be the most expensive.  

$42K+ for a Sebring showcase?!  I was shocked.  I bid 33,211 and I still would have been off 9K.  I know 24,500 was a low bid, but that low, shocker.

Safe Crackers: I figured they were $420, but how could two helmets cost $210 apiece? :-?

Temptation: Somehow I spaced out and thought we were playing for a convertible. :-P Had I known it was the coupe, I would've lost my voice screaming at her.

Coming or Going: Obviously, it was going to be $3995, but I can see some contestants thinking it's way too cheap for a trailer (but not the Little Guy trailer  :evil:  :evil:  :evil: ).

Most Expensive: This should've been won easily.

Switcheroo: Cool, grocery music for small prizes. :-D

$50 may not be obvious for a breakfast dispenser, but there was no way the 9 would be in the truck.  

Also, they have GOT to cut that cheap camerawork for the small prizes.

Bullseye: When was the last time this game was hard?

Showcases: I thought the perfume showcase was a bit weird, but neat.  I was a good $7000 under on that one.

No, and using that rationale a closing bid of $1 would be "stupid", wouldn't it?

When you're the Last Bidder you have the freedom to ignore the "Under $400" thing, provided you always bid higher than someone else who lowballed.

Notice that Alex bid $275 after Brenda had bid the $425. Tthe $1 end-all bid was taken completely out of play (and how many times in just this situation have we seen people bid $1 despite that?), so in this case Charmaine had to bid higher than Alex. She didn't leave much wiggle room as it was, but she stayed alive while Alex was left to consider how stupid his bid was.

Therefore, Charmaine's closing bid of $399 was an acceptable bid. Not a winner, but acceptable nonetheless.

Is this really acknowledged as grocery music?  I know I've heard this used for both GPs *and* SPs ever since the '80s.  I think the difference is that this cue is for a series of descriptions all in a row, be it GP or SP.  It just happenes that nearly all GP games describe the products all in a row, while there are fewer SP games that do the same.

That said, the show was mediocre today, even though I love Temptation and Safe Crackers.  The reveal for Safe Crackers has gotten worse (which I didn't think was possible), and Most Expensive always annoys me with that time lapse transition shot between each prize.  I do love when the models where high-heels and walk on the treadmills, though.  Temptation just didn't have any of its usual magic today--which I blame mostly on that evil Mustang fooling the contestant into picking the '6' instead of the '0'.

The perfume showcase was Grade A.  "Byte" is possibly the daffiest name you could come up with for perfume, and Brandi was chewing up the scenery as always.  They should just make her permanent on the show.

I am pretty sure we have once seen a smaller container of the Tidy Cats which was in the $5.90 range... I would imagine that is what was used for the Bullseye playing, and two would've given the contestant the win...

I have personally never seen them use an item that it isn't possible to win with on the game, and I can't see that starting now...

Why are you sad?  $420 was the right price.  The contestant went with $420.  You went with $420.  Are you sad she won?

I thought she said $240 and $240 was the right price.  I was in the kitchen making a sandwich during Safe and distinctly remember Bob saying "$240".

Safe Crackers: I am thinking about getting my father a helmet for Father's Day. After going through some stores and seeing that some range around $200 each, I knew the safe had an easy combination, dedicated to that imfamous bidder a while back.

The Temptation of Price: I wanted Kristen to win. I wanted Kristen to make some changes because that price doesn't seem right to me. I wanted Kristen to take the prizes and bail out. I wanted Kristen to believe me that she will lose everything if she goes on. I wanted Kristen to know the hurt I feel that she did not listen to me at all.

Coming or Going: I've said this before recently: I wanted the price to be high, but after I made my choice, I realized that since the price ends in 5, maybe I should change it. I didn't do that. Sound The Buzzer.

Most Expensive: It was between the treadmill and the dining group. One look at the dining group made me think that would be a lot more than $1000. At least I was right about that.

Switcheroo: Watching Brenda play this game gave me a switcheroo. I couldn't recall what she had before. At first I thought she made a decent change for the car. I even thought she may get it right. Let's just say my mind was fizzled.

Maybe the folks at the FFBC can fix Alex's fizzled brain.

Bullseye: For the sunflower seeds, I said 9 or 10 will do it (with 10, not 9), then for the Hidden Valley, 9 or 10 also (totally wrong). At least I would've hitted it on the seeds.
