What did I learn about today's show?

LUCKY SEVEN RULES!!!

All hail the Carl-meister for scoring big on Magic #

And, somebody finally remembered how to play FLIP FLOP the right way, and won, and no mishaps this time. How about that?!!

All in all, a pretty good show, even if I didn't get the chance to watch it. I can't wait til tommorow's show.

Clearance Sale: I knew the $1,000 would not work for the dining group. Other than that, it was a little confusing for me.

Lucky $even: Now I want to play the DVD game to see if I can play as great as Kimberley.

Flip Flop: Once again, a time where I wanted to leave it like it is. Since I have to make some kind of change, it just has to be a Flop.

Pass the Buck: It would have been okay if 1 had anything other than the LOSE EVERYTHING. Just like Punch-A-Bunch, I would've risked the $1,000.

Plinko: For the past couple of plays, I sometimes think the board has a curved surface that the chips fall on the ends. But that wouldn't make any sense because that would make it even more difficult to win $10,000.

One Bid 6: "Wendell, You gotta bid right this time! Do you want me to [beep] email that on Benjamin's BlackBerry for you?!" I think about Gordon's line in the Kitchen every time I see a BlackBerry now.

magic #: at first I thought Carl had the magic # too low, then too high. I usually expect Bob to say the contestant is playing with [the geezmo] when they move the magic # up and down. In the end, I guess it didn't matter what the magic # was because he had it most of the time.

Showcases: Is Pirate Booty an alternative to Port-O-Price? I guess Kimberley took a chance to bid, risking a DOB... And it really paid off!

There was in fact a recurring Pirates showcase back in the 80s, although it always started with a trip to show where the pirates were burying their treasure this time. I had a feeling they might be reviving that theme with pirates being a pop cultural obsession right now.

Magic # was super-easy today, but it was nice to see someone be bold and set the number above $2000 for once. Nice win by Kimberly in Lucky 7. I liked her interpretation of Bob's hair-dryer joke, too.

Post by: goldroadfanatic on January 09, 2007, 03:30:56 PM

Clearance Sale-I don't know why Lisa's friends thought the $2,800 tag would belong on the yard tools.  Lawn tractors are not that expensive.

Lucky $even-Interesting that Kimberley practiced playing using the DVD game, and it worked well for her.  She played that pretty good, I might add.

Flip Flop-I knew the bed would not exceed $5,000; so flopping was the right choice, and Diane won it.

Pass the Buck-Tough break for Karina, losing the $1,000 after she picked the first "lose everything" and the $1,000.

PL!NKO-That CD player looked tricky with the numbers presented.  A paltry $2,000 payout for today, bleh.

Magic #-Yay!  I thought for a moment that Carl was going to set the number too high.  With the winning streak this game is carrying this season, I think the prizes should be more difficult.  

Showcase-Man, that showcase with the Dodge Magnum was on steroids today.  Here are my bids/differences:

Ski Boat-$21,700/568
Car-$29,000/5,939

Clearance Sale: I think that Lisa should get new Marine friends after this disastrous performance.

Lucky 7: Good win for Kimberley with help from the DVD game.

Flip Flop: Knew that price was $3547 on the bed.

Pass The Buck: Tough loss there for Karina. The second lose everything on her last pick.

Plinko: Well getting $2,000 is not bad. I think?

Magic #: Good playing Carl. I thought the number was too high.

SS #1: I really wanted Karina to win this after the Pass The Buck disappointment.

Showcases: Well at least Kimberley won herself another car. Kind of like the pirates-themed showcase.

Clearance Sale's setup didn't look anything easy, but I'm surprised that the dinette set was more expensive than the garden equipment.

It would have been interesting to hear Bob's reaction to Kimberley's message on her shirt.

And speaking of Kimberley, her Lucky $even win was pretty sweet.

I'm not sure I want to say Carl played Magic # necessarily well, because he did a lot of bouncing around.  Nevertheless, it was refreshing to see another contestant set the magic number high.

Post by: tpiradam on January 09, 2007, 04:41:14 PM

Clearance Sale - Tough setup

Lucky $even - That was a great win!!!

Flip Flop - I guessed $5347 for the bed.

Pass the buck - OUCH! 3 picks and she ends up loosing everything!

Plinko - $2000 win isnt too bad.

Magic # - When was the last time we saw this!!! Another great win too.

Showcases - Average

My Bids: $28,000/OVER | $28,500/$5439

Grade: 7/10

That was just awful directing on Clearance Sale today. We normally get a shot of the pricetags and today-nada-only thing we saw was Bob handing them to Lisa, very poor directing there. As far as the game went-well the word trainwreck comes to mind.

Lucky 7: Excellent playing by Kimberly. I guess the price was fairly tame today but still Kimberly played this very well-not picking all 5's and such.

Flip Flop: E-a-s-y.

Pass the Buck: Ouch, that hurts.

Plinko: Now its back to its lowballing ways.  

Magic #: Hey another nice playing in this game. It's on a roll.

Showcases: Kimberly cleans up!!! Not a bad day for Kim, over $59k in prizes won including two cars.

Pretty good show today.

Bidding Round #1- #114, Lisa (http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/8575/114lisa1907ia9.jpg), AND #115, Kimberley (http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/3999/115kimberley1907mk2.jpg)! :-D

Lucky Seven- That was awesome. On top of being a hottie, I'd be willing to bet that Kimberley's an LFAT.

Bidding Round #3- #116, Diane (http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6661/116diane1907ka3.jpg)! And she gets up on stage, meaning it's the incredibly rare... HEELS SEMI-MEMORIAL ALL-HOTTIE SHOWDOWN! :-D

Showcase Showdown #1- Like Jordan said in chat, I can't lose in this Showdown! I love it. :-)

Magic Number- I think Carl was having a bit too much fun with that thing. :lol:

Showcase- Great way to cap off a great show. Good for Kimberley!

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY- Kimberly, who is probably the best contestant that's also a hottie that we've ever seen.

SHOW SUMMARY AND GRADE- We've had all average or below average shows so far in this young year. Until now... Grade: 4

Post by: Richie on January 09, 2007, 05:00:50 PM

Clearance Sale--Roger set this game up for a loss everybody.  The prizes looked a little tough today.  When the dinette's price was revealed ($3240) and Lisa put the $1,000 on it, I had a hunch Lisa lost.

Lucky Seven--Practicing Lucky Seven on the DVD game paid off for Kimberley.  Great win!!

Flip Flop---A no brainer.  Diane flopped and she won on an easy setup.

Pass the Buck--Grocery part was easy, luck on the Pass the Buck board WASN'T.  I really felt for Karina when her first pick was "LOSE" her second $1,000 and her third pick the "LOSE EVERYTHING" again!!!  Roger was pretty sneaky today with this game.  I would have risked $1,000 for another pick on that board.  Tough break.

Plinko---$2,000 is better than nothing.  But two of the small prizes in the Plinko game were HARD.  The damn $18 CD player strikes again!  And also the first prize was HARD.

Magic Number--Good win by Carl.  I thought Carl lost, but I was dead wrong.

Showcases---That Dodge Magnum is pretty loaded, but Kimberley was able to win it when Carl overbid on his showcase.  Kimberley cleans up today with almost $60,000 in prizes including 2 cars!

Post by: BRB_TheFireball on January 09, 2007, 05:02:33 PM

PG #1:  $2,800 on yard tools = THAT'S TOO MUCH!  I also would've lost, but I would've put $1,000 on the yard tools and $1,500 on the drums.  That was one cheap drum set.

PG #2:  Rarely do I call a Lucky Seven setup easy, but this was easy.

PG #3:  Yay!  Flip Flop!  :-P  Another easy setup.  There was no way that bed was gonna be more than $5,000.

PG #4:  Bucky 4th... here goes the Dob again with the car games 4th.

PG #5:  And as if Bucky 4th wasn't weird enough, it's Plinko right after it!  4 chips, 4 $500s... when was the last time all available chips went into the same amount?

PG #6:  Somebody actually set the magic number abover $2,000.  Good for you, Carl!

Showcase #1:  "STAGE WILLY!"

Showcase #2:  My Lord, how old is that video of Dodgers Camp?

My showcase bids:
FRBS--$22,102
Car--$28,157

Result:  $34--HOW THE HELL... ?!  Did I miss something about that Dodge Magnum?

Post by: BobboChung on January 09, 2007, 05:30:45 PM

Clearance Sale: The minute Lisa didn't put the $2,800 tag on the dinette, I knew she had lost.

Lucky Seven: The game now has a winning record so far this season! And a Virginia lady wins to boot!

Flip Flop: I still have no knowledge about beds.

Pass The Buck: Corina played this very well, going for the corners, something most don't do. Too bad she didn't pick the right one.

Plinko: All of the chips going in $500? When's the last time that happened?

Magic Number: EXCELLENT playing!

Showcases: Both very nice today, even though the themes were dull. And the Virginia lady really wins big!

Overall: Very good show today!

Post by: PimpinJC on January 09, 2007, 06:01:25 PM

Clearance Sale-It was obvious the $1000 didn't belong on the garden tools.  The $2800 was easily meant for the dinette.  The other two prizes were confusing.  I would've lost as well, putting $1000 on the garden tools and $1500 on the drum set.

Lucky $even-A hair dryer?  LMAO, Bob!  Wow, an awesome playing, an LFAT, AND someone knows how to play this game!  What a rare occurence.  I wonder if she would know how to play Check Game...

Flip Flop-Really easy playing.

Pass the Buck-Ugh, rotten luck for Karina; today just wasn't her day.

Plinko-Wow, I have not seen Plinko played so late in the show.  All the chips go into the $500, and 3 go into the right one.  Now if only they would've landed all in the $10K slot...

IUFB #6-Is the tockey table $1????

Magic #-Great win by Carl.  And he set it at a number above 2000, too.

Showcases-Today was just Kimberley's day!  Winning 2 cars.  An LFAT gets rewarded greatly!

Hey All

This was the episode I got to see in person, and it was a lot of fun!

Kimberley and her friends lined up right behind me around 4am or so, and we chit chatted throughout the process. He t-shirt caught my eye on the spot. I knew she'd get called down because she showed a lot of energy and ethusiasm outside. And yes she's a Loyal Friend And True. We also met Lisa and Diane out there, and we all wound up sitting together in the last set of benches outside the studio due to the seating order there.

Lisa drove up with her Marine friends from San Diego. During Rich's warm-up she was called on stage along with a few others to do the "Price is Right Dancers" routine, which is where they danced to various dance tunes, including Crystal Waters' "Come On Down". Funny stuff!

Diane was there with her grandparents. It was an extended 18th birthday celebration for her.

I thought about you guys when that happened.  :-D  Heh Heh.

Clearance Sale was the first and last game I tried to play along with. I was so excited that I couldn't think.

Lucky $even was a great playing, I screamed myself hoarse after Kim won. There was a guy sitting next to me that was on his 18th visit to the show, and his help on the prices here and in the showcase was invaluable.

Flip-Flop: We got a loud "FLOP" chant going. Easy setup.

Pass The Buck: The car was at the opposite end... :-(

Plinko: Is it unusual at all for Plinko to be slotted fifth? I thought it was funny at the time.

Magic #: Carl wasn't wrong for having his fun with the "Geezmo". We freaked out thinking that he'd gone too high, but he would've won no matter where he left that thing. Too many contestants not even cracking $1k has left me "trained".

Showcases: I thought Carl went over when he bid, but being bad on boats I wasn't sure until Bob revealed the ARP's. Kim cleaned up today!

I came out on camera a few times when the camera was panning the audience as Rich was calling names, particularly when Roberto and Judith were called. I was in the red TPiR shirt with a black cap. When Kim's friends were shown, I was right next to them, but just off camera to the right. It was a lot of fun, and I hope to eventually go again.

I wrote about my experiences going thru processing, it's here: http://www.golden-road.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1544&forum=4

Good show.

For whatever reason, I especially enjoyed the Act 1 One Bid for the TV which had video of a show opening.  I'm not sure if I just haven't been paying close enough attention, but the timing on that shot with the logo and Bob entering through the doors on TV was just REALLY cool!

Clearance Sale-Lisa play that poorly.

Lucky Seven Kimberly play that very well.

Flip Flop- A nice way too end the first half.

Pass The Buck-Karina played that well it too bad she won nothing.

Plinko-$2,000 isn't too bad at all.

Title: Re: FULL RECAP - TPiR 01/09/2007
Post by: edmojautis on January 09, 2007, 09:54:15 PM

CS: Poorly played.

Lucky 7: Kimberly was sure enjoyable and her reaction to Bob's "Hair Dryer" joke was Priceless. She played very well and for a person who learned it all from the DVD game, Why not does she deserve a new car?

Flip Flop: Nice win.

PTB: Poor Karina. Luck just didn't give her a fair shot and saying she wanted to stay with Bob was a hoot.

Plinko: $2K win...Very well.

Magic #: Carl just wanted to drive Bob nuts messing with the "Geezmo". Win was pretty much predictable.

Showcases: I also remember the old "Pirates" showcases in the 80's (I have an ep. w/ that showcase from '83) and its good to see a little retro showcase theme around today. Kimberly, Start building a 2-car garage because you could use it. Great Job.

This show deserved the perfect score for excited players and Bob being in a great mood. It's a 5-Star!!!

The Price is Right Game #6630
Today is the 94th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's birth.  The CBS Price is Right debuted under Nixon presidency.

Pirate Booty, not Josh Booty
Apple Desktop Computer - $1,699
Danby Silhouette 51-bottle Wine Cooler - $999
Reinell Beachcraft 185 18' Ski Boat - $19,570?  So that's a 2007 model.  And I'm predicting, that for the 2008 model year, the Reinell 18' 185 will be more than $20,000.

Brooke Shields' Showcase
Assorted Paperback Comic Books, and they're from Marvel Comics for crying out loud! - It's $220.
Trip to Vero Beach, Florida - If you go back to February 10, 2005, that was the last trip to Vero Beach/Dodgertown, and it was taped two years ago tomorrow.  This means that if you do not count tape dates, there were no trips to Vero Beach in 2006 or in Season 34. These trips to Dodgertown are still pretty damn expensive today, like $10,444.
2007 Dodge Magnum, and one of them would be driven by Brooke Shields. - $24,275

Modeling Report Card for January 9, 2007
Score to beat:  $69,474
(http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/2600/20070109totalsfd3.gif)
With 6,613,200 pennies marked "E Pluribus Unum", Rachel's fans across America are going crazy!

Those are 25 prizes, and this is $167,192.  Yeah, right.

Clearance Sale: The second Lisa put $1000 on garden tools, I knew it was a loss.

Lujcky 7: A LFaT indeed, and that price seemed easy.

Flip Flop: Flopping was all you can do here.

Pass the Buck: a tough pill to swallow for Corina.Luck wasn't on her side.

Plinko: Darn...another lowball win.

Magic Number: I would have won this by setting this at $2000.

Schocases: Kimberly cleaned house today.  I said $30,000 on the car.  I severely overshot the ski boat, bidding $35,000.

A fun show today.

Did anyone else think it was kind of strange to see the end of the opening, and then see it again (albeit from a different episode) on a television set about 30 seconds later?  It was neat, don't get me wrong...but they might not want to do that on the first Item up for Bids again. (http://www.golden-road.net/grnoldx/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

Clearance Sale was probably not going to be won today.

Speaking of Clearance Sale...is "Garden Tools" really an appropriate label for a lawn mower? (http://www.golden-road.net/grnoldx/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif)

I know I always say this, but there really is nothing like a Lucky $even win.

Bob and Kimberly's conversation before Lucky $even was hilarious.  Actually, pretty much everything about Kimberly was good -- she was a wonderful contestant.

And who was the guy standing behind Kimberly after her Lucky $even win, just before the show went to commercial?

Rich's affirmation that there would indeed be an all-male Contestants' Row today was fantastic.

I don't normally get that excited over Plinko...but when it showed up fifth today...that was just awesome.

And ya know, Plinko was a little odd today...it seems weird for all the chips to land in $500.

I wonder if they were hearkening back to the old Pirate Ship showcase today.  I'd like to think that wasn't just a coincidence.

Lucky Seven:  Whoa!  Kimberley played it bee-au-ti-ful-ly; she DESERVED to win that car.

Kimberley's been the best contestant all year so far!  Course, I suppose the year just started... but she was great!  Her confusion over why Bob would ask if she'd like to win a hairdryer--and Bob changing it to a coffee maker after realizing what just happened!  Kimberley saying how she got the DVD game for her birthday, and had been practicing Lucky $even--it was an easy price, but I believe her anyway.  Great to see her win the car, and another in the showcase... even able to sneak into the showcase car at the end of the show!  So great to see such a great contestant do so well!

Corina seemed pretty nice too, though.  Just had atrocious luck with her game, really.  Considering Bob's big buildup--and that the first Lose Everything was found behind #4--I was really surprised when #1 turned out to have the other one!  Just ouch there.

Dang... I can't remember anyone ever playing Magic Number like Carl today!  I mean, I'm thrilled that he wasn't trying to get the magic number just barely over the price of the treadmill, like most contestants would've done, but when he started pushing into the upper 2000s, I thougt he might actually go over!  Really, with as much as he kept playing with the leever, I kinda' wonder if he was just having fun playing with it.  Hard to really blame him if that is what he was doing.

It's not really that rare.

Fairly good show. I knew Lisa lost Clearance Sale when she put $2800 on the garden equipment. I would have put $1000 on the equipment, but that is one cheap drum set.

Kimberley was just awesome altogether! A loyal fan and true, and funny about her reaction to having the chance to win a hair dryer, then a coffee maker, then shouting Plinko! I believed it too for a second, but her reaction to seeing the car was amusing. And she played it beautifully, I might add. I guess practing with the DVD game really helped. The price was easy, but she deserved to win the car.

Flip Flop was easy too. There was no way that bed was over $5000.

The products were easy in Pass the Buck today, and poor Corina, she looked like a good contestant, and Bob really added the suspense on, only to find out she lost her $1000. What stinks more is that she originally was thinking 2, which had $5000, but her friends talked her out of it. Too bad.

All of the small prizes in Plinko were easy, except the CD player. I said the 2 as well. Weird how all of Benjamin's chips landed in the $500 slots. But $2000 isn't bad.

I thought Judith had the perfect bid on that hockey table, but Carl got it, and he seemed amused with the Magic # game, going up and down. For a second I thought he would go up to $3000, which would be too expensive. But Carl made the right choice. My number was $2000.

Best Contestant- Kimberley

Showcase #1- $25,733
Difference- OVER

Showcase #2- $29,269
Difference- $5670

This is in fact, one of the BEST TPiR episodes I've ever seen (3rd best behind the season premiere and Bob's last show). Big bucks day, I believe!

Clearance: Hmmm, I think that needed improvement. I believe Roger set this one up for a loss. How could he? :evil:

Lucky: I couldn't stop laughing when Bob joked about Kimberley's hair and asking if she would like to win a hair dryer and then a coffee maker. :lol: :D It ends, though, when she won. Pay attention to heelsrule1988, folks; his post clearly said that she might be one of the best contestants this season. When she won the car, I couldn't stop smiling. What a win by a LFaT!

Flip: I agreed with Diane to flop. It paid off, too. :)

Pass: OWWWWW! Two "Lose Everything"s on both picks?  :cry:

Plinko: Not a bad playing--I think Judge or the other 2 that bested him should've shown Ben how it's done.

Geezmo: The winning streak for this game continues, though I do have to agree with heels that Carl was just playing with the machine.  :lol: :D

Showcase #1: Carl, what were you thinking?! Ummm, does $34,000 count as a :wotc: ? I'm quite sure that that :frbs: did NOT cost $34,000. Every time I try to bid on the :frbs: es, I slip up and go OVER.

Showcase #2: Besides the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Magnum is one of my favorite cars to win in the Showcase, but what would be her reaction if she got a :dsw: ? My jaw literally dropped in awe after hearing the result of this Showcase. Enjoy your new cars! :D

Clearance Sale: Remind me never to go shopping for garden tools; I don't think that Roger wanted this won today.

That's what I thought. Sometimes I just don't get why Roger has to be so evil.

And who was the guy standing behind Kimberly after her Lucky $even win, just before the show went to commercial?

I'm not exactly sure...I was thinking Roger, or maybe a nearby cameraman or a stagehand (I know there are so many, but I have no idea who)?

[color=FF0000]*MRRRRP*[/color] It's $223. I did some calcluating this evening, so $223 + $10,444 + $24,275 + $24,270 = $59,212.
