I absolutely DETEST the mean-spiritedness of College Rivals Day, especially on Thanksgiving Eve of all days. No contestant should ever win money based solely on other contestants losing.
This idea needs to be buried along with Professor Price in the same dank basement closet.
Post by: pricefan18 on November 27, 2019, 01:39:45 PM
It's no use. I gave it my best shot. I'm usually indifferent at worst to the various specials and theme weeks on the show. But I had to stop watching this one after the first pricing game.

I'm ok with the theme, but.....what I'm NOT ok with is Beth Mowins doing play by play for the SCSD's. I mean I get why they wanted to include her but.....it just came off super distracting, unnecessary and frankly annoying. I hope they never do that again.
Post by: TinoStar11 on November 27, 2019, 01:47:16 PM
Drew has made 3 putts in Hole in One this season , only one other season has he made more ( S43 - he made 5 )
Nice to hear the Triple Play cue used at the beginning of the show.

I agree! I hate these College Rivals episodes, and I refused to even watch this one!

Wonder why they brought in someone from ESPN to do the wheel play by play and not someone from the network's own college football coverage.

She does work for CBS mainly as a reporter, and unsurprisingly, she's still horrible.

Has done/is doing NFL Games now too actually. I don't exactly have an issue with her though, but her being here felt really really odd/awkward, and detracted from the wheel spinners IMO. It made the $1,000 wins in the 2nd SCSD (especially the first one), come off really badly too because of how she reacted to them.
Post by: Teddy on November 27, 2019, 05:31:21 PM
I could do without Beth Mowins; while her play-by-play was a throwback to what Bob did before the contestant shoutouts took over with Drew, it was at times distracting. Also, what was up with the arrow shot not being used in the SCSDs??? It wasn't like they were playing in groups.

It would create a bizarre scenario where an Ohio State fan has to cheer FOR a Michigan contestant. THAT would be worth watching!!
Post by: pricefan18 on November 27, 2019, 06:03:01 PM
If they REALLY wanted to make it interesting, instead of giving the rival school player $1000 if the contestant loses, they should give the money if the contestant WINS.

Would defeat the rivalry purpose though then to do that.

Beth’s commenting actually made the Showcase Showdown somewhat suspenseful — it was a little over the top but I liked it. She put more effort in hosting in 2 minutes than Drew did the entire show, without playing with her pockets.
-Doug
Does he still do that? I thought he stopped, and also.....I'm not sure playing with her pockets was the best choice of words just then.........lol.
Post by: Roadgeek Adam on November 27, 2019, 10:59:35 PM
I am in a small minority who isn't really as bothered by this special. I understand why it's a problem in the fact that it's active rooting. A couple things to keep in mind. The schools involved aren't getting thousands upon thousands to watch to cheer their school on. This is a niche thing. I'm not watching to hate one school or another. I'm watching because I want to watch average his and hers win life changing amount of money. If they do one show a year where people are a bit more rivalric, it's fine by me.
Also, I was disappointed Beth never did a showcase.
Post by: Mewtwo on November 29, 2019, 12:05:06 AM
I think they should allocate a bit more to the budget on this episode and make it so that if the player on stage loses, the rival not only automatically wins the whole prize they were going for but takes their place in the Showcase Showdown.
Post by: ooboh on November 29, 2019, 12:38:58 AM
There are a crapload of people in this thread salty about the $1,000 if your rival loses. I think they need to ramp it up even further!

Okay, that’s gotta be one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard on this website.

I actually am not so bothered by it. I think it would add some suspense to the show if you really wanted to make it different and play up the theme. Wins/Losses would matter a lot then.

On the surface, this isn't a bad idea. However, think about it: Suppose I get called on down and nail a perfect bid on the IUFB, therefore sending my rival back. I get to play Spelling Bee, for example. I guess the ARP of each SP exactly, but due to a case of bad luck, I pick all C's, and I don't win the car. My rival therefore wins the car and gets to go to the SCSD and possibly the Showcase, and he didn't even get up on stage! Thanks for your creativity, but I can't say I'm a very big fan of this idea.

It goes against the spirit of the show, which is to create a fun atmosphere where everyone is rooting for everyone else. I don't care if the excuse is familiar college rivalries--save that for ESPN.
I think they should allocate a bit more to the budget on this episode and make it so that if the player on stage loses, the rival not only automatically wins the whole prize they were going for but takes their place in the Showcase Showdown.
I'm all for bigger-budget shows, but every other part of this is absurd. $1,000 for a rival is one thing--it's pocket change. But giving them the entire prize package AND slotting them for the SCSDN--all without requiring them to actually price anything correctly, which again, is the core mechanic of the show--goes WAY too far.

There are a crapload of people in this thread salty about the $1,000 if your rival loses. I think they need to ramp it up even further!It's a decent idea in theory, but I don't think someone should be rewarded like that when they didn't get on stage or do anything.

This would probably require more time available, but maybe if they did it where the rival contestant gets to go on stage to try to win if the on-stage contestant loses. Besides the time it wouldn't be viable for that many games, but for some it could work. Like if the on-stage contestant plays Grocery Game and goes over without using all the items, then the rival contestant would go on stage to play the game with the remaining items. Or if the contestant loses Pathfinder before the last number, they would not reveal the price, instead the rival contestant would get one chance to complete the game and win the car. For Hole in One the rival contestant would get one putt from the same line if the on-stage contestant loses.

You know what, that makes more sense than my initial idea. It'd require a specific lineup of games that work with it but hell yes, I'd love to see this.

Going back to the show itself, I liked the idea of having Beth commentate during the SCSD and when I saw Hole in One come out, I thought for sure they were going to bring her out to commentate on that. Unfortunately, it was clear Beth wasn't terribly familiar with the show as she hardly provided any excitement when Bronte and Courtney both hit a dollar.
Post by: bagels on December 04, 2019, 11:14:14 AM
Edit: The only good thing about this episode was Beth. I liked her commentary during the showcase showdowns.
