Title: We're not the only ones who think like this
Post by: PriceRox on December 10, 2008, 08:14:07 PM
A co-worker of mine sent me this.  I think it's funny that since we're considered to be the ones who are just "complaining about change no matter what," a casual viewers feels the same way about stupid Showcases and Drew's sub-par performance.

These are not casual viewers in my mind, they're just people with too much time on their hands.  Kathy Griffin for host?  ::)

Wow...the second clip is Drew in rare form. People outside our coven are seeing why he really sucks this season more than last. I hope TPTB see this and try to inject some enthusiasm into Drew.

That does not change the fact that they make an excellent point.

Says the maintainer of the Rich Fields Fanlisting.

Seriously, neither of us is in any position to be criticizing someone for using their spare time to write about The Price Is Right.

I agree with you ! :P these people have too much time on their hands :P

So does that mean you think he was good in that Pocket ¢hange clip?

That's great PriceRox, it just goes to show that we (the so called negative ones) are not the only ones noticing what is coming out of BBS nowadays.

I think most can agree that Drew was Just Plain Bad in that Pocket Change clip.

Quote from: Drew Carey, in the Pocket ¢hange clip
"Don't even want to mess around, because you know you're gonna get it."

But it's your job to fool around, Drew.  It's your job to build up suspense until the big reveal, so that we can get a contestant reaction when he/she wins.

You can't just speed it up like that in an attempt to move past "boring" television.

The contestant didn't even know what was going on, and before you knew it he had turned around and ran off camera.

It's not about the car, it's about the contestant.  Drew forgets this, I'm sorry to say it, often.

What if an article exactly the same length as this was posted that praised the show?

You do realize the clip here was from the first half of last season, when Drew was at his worst?

How can they even THINK that? I don't care how loyal, friendly, and true I am, I would rather watch The View.

We're still in the first half of the season...in fact, the season isn't even near half over yet...we've got 6 months to go from January.

Wow, it was.  I didn't even notice the hypocycloids the first time I glanced at it.

But that's really not a great argument -- because I just assumed without watching it that it was a clip of his equally bad performance in the same game that just aired within the last couple weeks.

Those articles made my day :-D...They may never check here (or do they?)  but some higher up at freemantle/cbs will surely see this.  After today's showcase, I really do think he hates Rich.

I can assure you with 100% certainty Drew DOES NOT hate Rich.

Where did the "Drew hates Rich" line of thought ever come from, anyway?  Seems to me that if Drew truly hated Rich, he would want to hide Rich from everyone, and not display him for the world to say.

The show has problems, but that's not one of them.

Thank you VH1... that's the best thing I've seen come out of that channel in the last 10 years, even if it is just pointing out what many of us know already.

the  line "Drew Hates Rich" came from the following article:

http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/11/04/the-price-is-right-forces-announcer-to-rap-for-pay/

in which the author scarcastically explains that the only explanation for Rich embarrassing himself to do such pointless showcaes is that Drew must Hate Rich.

Well, either that and dunk him a tank full of freezing water and hope he catches pneumonia.  One of the two.
