Always exciting to see a 3 Strikes win.

Random Facts: 3 Strikes is at 75% in wins this season, easily the best season for 3 Strikes. Also, this is the first foreign luxury car won in the game since Desert Storm.  :lol:

That is all...except: Aw, no GP game.  :cry:

EDIT: REALLY Random Fact: 3 Strikes has not been won when I wasn't watching the live feed. Something tells me I should stay home more often!  :lol:

Lineup:

3 Strikes: W

Flip Flop: L

Most Expensive: W

Double Prices: W

Punch A Bunch: L ($250)

Range Game for a Mazda: L


I can't believe 3 Strikes went 3-1 this season. That's truly amazing.

The other games were also good except for Punchy. They need to up those amounts on the board

I alway's disliked the Range Game being played for Cars, because it makes it look too hard.

Those trips and the boat on SC1 was sexed-up. All those cost over $43,000??

Title: Re: TPiR Recap - 6/3/2011
Post by: Wayoshi on June 03, 2011, 03:41:50 PM

This is where I'd usually go "OMG HOW IN THE WORLD WAS THIS WON AGAIN AND WHY WAS IT EVEN PLAYED", but I'll let others do that today.

What I do want to comment on is that Rangey was also for a car, 6th, on the last 3X day, 4/22. With ultimately 4 quick games (I didn't say quickie... but relatively fast) and Punchy rounding up today's lineup, Adam kinda failed to deliver, and he had been doing so good at 3X shows. Additionally, more than 2/3s up the scale on a $15530 car when you just offered the highest 3X car of the year, along with some sexed up showcases, did stick out weirdly. Money or A#, even if they were set on making either hard too, should have been coming for a more acceptable car. If it wasn't for the double spinoff we would have ended early today.

Also, I'll make a note, we had our best full week of the season at 15-15 (including Racey as a W, I hope this isn't debated along anyone). We last went 15-15 in mid-January of 2010. The last winning full week was mid-November 2008.

Couldn't they put that on your subchannel?

I honestly thought we saw the last of Three Strikes on the Earth Day show? I couldn't believe it! and the highest priced car in the few playings of it we've seen since '08 or so. The biggest win since that one dude won the Vette back then and breakdanced on the floor.

Most expensive? Really? 927 for the lowest, 6100 for the highest? That was insane!

That boat has been $25,000 for a while now....Vegas.com has always been $5,000-$6,000ish and Switzerland has NEVER been <$10K in a SC. I don't see the issue?

Post by: 3StrikesFan on June 03, 2011, 04:42:21 PM

Yay 3 Strikes!!! And Another win to boot!

I'm really surprised that Golden Road wasn't played instead of 3 Strikes because it can be controlled more. If they really didn't want the Audi won, putting it in Golden Road might have achieved what they wanted. Maybe they wanted it won too, who knows?

The lineup kind of stunk today! I know with 3 Strikes in any lineup the rest of the games might suffer, but 4 quickie games seems a little silly. I don't mind a Money Game break but Money Game could have been played instead of Range Game. I know some consider Money a quickie, but I don't think so.

Most Expensive's prices were off the wall. A $6,000+ grill and then a $900+ tiki hut... bizarre!

I think a lineup like this could have been better, time-wise, I don't know:

Most Expensive / 3 Strikes / Pick A Pair / Double Prices / Punchboard / Money Game, Dice Game, or Card Game

I know Dice Game is another game the staff can't control, but I think its one of the quickest.

3 Strikes:  Great win! :biggrin:
Flip Flop:  Bummer! :-(
Most Expensive, Double Prices:  Nice job! :-)
Punch A Bunch:  Better than nothing.
Range Game:  I knew the range finder was stopped too soon.

Good end to the week, especially because 3 Strikes was won, IMHO.

Bad luck in Punchy.

On the last show with 3 Strikes (Earth Day), Range Game was also played for a car. Interesting...

I have got to stop going to Youtube before I watch Price off the DVR... spoiled 3X for me. Still, coming back to win after a 1-2 count was really nice.

Flip Flop: St Croix is $5k even with a scuba dive? The hell?

More later...

What an awesome 3 strikes win, and I loved the close-up of the last pull.  When was the last time 3 Strikes was won THREE times in a row? An incredible streak!

Most Expensive was ridiculous...$3,500+ between the most and 2nd most expensive.

There was a time when we thought 3 Strikes was as good as dead. Or at best, a sad shell of its former self. Now, this game is having what is quite possibly its best stretch ever. Yet again, it delivers a thrilling win this season. When's the last time 3 Strikes had a three-game win streak? I'm thinking never. :P

I don't think a trial coverage warrants a preemption. But a trial of a football star whose heyday was 15-20 years pre-1994 caused some preemptions back in the day.

They could have played Deck or even TTM for the Audi, seems to be they'd underprice the Audi in both of those games. Some of us thought that when Deck was played for a Beamer and TTM for a Mercedes, and they were both lost :) Not to mention a player in Ten Chances would have thought 2 was the first number in the price(the player today thought 3 was)

They've had Corvettes in Golden Road (not recently) and they are usually in the $50,000-$60,000 range. Especially towards the end of the season, if they wanted to play Golden road for a $50,000 prize, they could. I don't think anyone here would care, as long as the game got played.

But you're right, Triple Play is due.

Man, these 3 Strikes wins are almost old hat by now, aren't they? :) Seriously, we are on an incredible good luck streak with that game, and they've all been dramatic victories too - today was especially surprising considering she only had one number lit up when she hit the 2nd strike. I think Jessica was helped by our easiest number setup yet. The Audi was REALLY loaded up to 50+k (base model Audi A5) is in the 30s, but there was no trap 4 for the 1st digit, and she managed to get lucky placing the 6 and 7. Still, what a win! And since the staff is reading the board - I promise you it isn't ordinarily won this often. :) We're just on quite a streak.

The rest of the show was rather unspectacular mostly due to the blah lineup, although that didn't matter today because the win was just that great But the 4 quick games plus broken Punchboard lineup could really have made for a blah show  if 3 Strikes went short for some reason. Also, nothing should be set that quite high up the Range Game scale, even a car - really.

Oh, and the return of sexed-up showcases! They must have found some extra budget money in the couch or something. Still, are $15,000 Switzerland trips really necessary?

Timings:
3 Strikes (7) - 7:10
Flip Flop (3.5) - 2:56
Most Expensive (3.5) - 3:33
Double Prices (3) - 2:36
Punch A Bunch (5.5) - 5:04
Range Game (4) - 3:01
Total (26.5): 24:20

Many people have already said it, but I'll say it again anyway: Fantastic win in 3 Strikes today!!


On Range Game: Again, I'll say it's beyond time to widen the $150 range. Especially when one is playing for a car.


Another spiffy Challenger offered and won :-).  And how long has it been since no one joined the showcase winner on stage? That took me back to 70s PIR (although I'm sure it's happened since then).


Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Considering the range is still $600, I think the rangefinder is just perfect right now. Besides, they already tried increasing the rangefinder on the Dennis James version. It was $200 for a very short time (1/3 the range!). Needless to say, didn't work out.

3 STRIKES!!!  This was about the last thing I expected to see today.  Awesome to see it won again, too.  I can't believe it's on a three-game winning streak!

I do wonder how Mike thought he could afford to play this, though.  They're still majorly overbudget, and the producer has NO control over 3 Strikes.  Between that, the Showcase, and the other pricing game wins, over $100,000 was given away today...I'm pretty sure they're at a point where they can't afford that.

I also wish they'd play 3 Strikes somewhere other than first.  It was played throughout the show for decades, and it worked just fine.

Bing (http://www.bing.com/videos/browse/tv/show?tag=the+price+is+right) has both episodes up for streaming.  Why they aren't showing up on cbs.com (and Fancast has them as having expired, too) is beyond me...

They're up on TVGuide.com, too...and in better quality, in my opinion.

Anyone else notice that Drew actually mentioned the $150 range today and didn't just call it "the red thing?" I was pleasantly surprised.

Also, the 3 Strikes win was AWESOME...that game really can keep you on the edge of your seat sometimes.

Careful, that doesn't make the change to the old rules the proper one.

If you're talking about adding two strike chips... that's not exactly new, since they used to do that a long time ago.

Regardless of whether using the term "old/new" is improper or not, the fact is the rules were reverted back from 1 to 3 strikes to make the game significantly harder so that Mike would allow it to return to offering luxury cars (and this is still with it being underplayed). What has basically happened as a whole in these last two seasons is a crazy case of law of averages where just about every playing was extremely lucky or unlucky.

Great to see another win in 3 Strikes! This game should be played more often than it currently is.

I would say it is.  3 Strikes went through so many rule changes in Seasons 37 and 38 that referring to them as "old" or "new" barely even means anything anymore.

3 Strikes is starting to become my favorite game on the show. The wins this season with that game have had me on the edge of my seat. Turns out they've finally done something right - I don't think they've screwed up 3 Strikes this season, have they?

3 Strikes when it is down to a 50/50 shot on the last pull is the best moment possible on the show.   It is either total heartbreak or euphoria.   Awesome!

I don't remember anything unusual about Range Game here, except for it was for a car.
