Money Game: El Cheapo strikes again!
One Right Price: Easy win. When I saw the price of the Colorado trip, I thought it was going to say $420.
Time is Money: I have a feeling Earl was confused. Also they should have played something else than ToM because of his age.
Pick A Number: We've been seeing this game more often. Easy win.
More or Less: Got tripped up on the ATV. I knew it was less.
Showcases: A two car showcase! That was a nice throw-in from Mike. When was the last time that happened?
Overall, a decent show.
Post by: Schfifty on January 12, 2015, 02:18:30 PM
Major props to Drew for mentioning El Cheapo in Money Game, though!
Post by: Swingbatta0 on January 12, 2015, 02:23:23 PM
Cliff Hangers: Bidding 30 on the pitcher is one thing. Bidding only 20 on the pepper mill-- That's quite another. Tough break on the last bid. Only $3.
Money Game: I knew El Cheapo had the back of the car, since it was the only multiple of 5 on the board after 20 was revealed to have the front of the car, and most Hyundai prices are a multiple of 5. Picking 43 (the season number, which could still be in a car price; just not today) was not her downfall. Picking any non-multiple of 5 was.
One Right Price: Piece of cake!
Time is Money: It's bad enough to put the Listerine on a platform other than the $6+, but to leave one platform vacant?!
:headbang:
Pick a Number: Piece of cake!
More or Less: Tough break on the ATV. I knew it wasn't expensive. As for the Versa, I'm betting it was "more".
Showcases: Not every day you see a "FRACS". Definitely the superior Showcase (two cars is far better than one subcompact car like the Toyota Yaris), since it was nothing but cars. But okay to see the other one won.
Post by: SamJ93 on January 12, 2015, 02:51:31 PM
I was kinda hoping the last prize in Cliff would be $45...certainly would've made for an incredible finish. (Out of curiosity, has there ever been a contestant who did win by making an exact guess with the mountain climber on Step #25?)
That was just about the worst playing of TiM we've seen thus far. But then again, Earl was obviously having trouble moving quickly...probably should've waited to call him down until after the game was played, or play it earlier in the show.
Post by: PriceBusterXL on January 12, 2015, 02:55:39 PM
And as TiM................Earl and that game is water and electricity; It didn't mix. I agree that he was really confused and he had no idea what to do. TiM was definitely not Earl's speed (no pun intended) and if it were me, any other casher would've been better than something that would leave someone perplexed and nervous. A bad call on Mike's part.
And SCs were.........SMH. SC1 probably didn't get the memo that Halloween was over almost 4 months ago, and SC2 was just too damn lazy, with just two cars out there like that.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
A ho-hum show to start this week. And a rather weird one at that. But at least one of the 5 cars were won and that's something.

Actually, the Mitsubishi Mirage is a subcompact car. The result would have been the same either way, though.

Money Game: It's really unfortunate that the Hyundai Elantra wasn't won. I would have won easily regardless of what happened with the front because I know both the season number rule and the el cheapo rule. And I loved Drew's end of game reaction. After 05 was revealed as the back, Drew mentioned el cheapo and said it should have been an easy win. The HP laptop was a nice contestant's row prize though.
One Right Price: A nice win of some nice Colorado and Puerto Rico trips. The international trip would be more expensive than a domestic trip, but this shows why One Right Price is more challenging and interesting than Switch? You only get to see one of the prices before making a pick. I would have won it though.
Time is Money: This was easily the worst I've seen this game played since it's return. This is mostly because of all the times today's contestant left a podium blank. It's always a bummer to have a $0 put up here. I mixed up the soap and the corn but had the other three right.
Pick a Number: I disagree about this being a piece of cake or easy setup. I don't think you can call anything easy when two of the choices are only $100 apart when the hundreds digit is what is being priced. 50/50 shot between $5595 and $5695. Glad to see a win but don't see this setup as easy. More 50-50 shot like.
More or Less: It's really a shame that the Nissan Versa never got played for. In my opinion, this was reasonably setup for the car to at least be reached.
Showcase: Can't beat a two car showcase so that was definitely the better showcase. Still, the showcase that was won was pretty damn good itself. A TV + Disneyland + a car? I'll take that any day. I don't care the calendar says, I enjoyed the Halloweenish vibe given off by the presentation too.
Lineup: Outstanding: Cliffhangers, Money Game, Time is Money, and More or Less are all favorites. Cliffhangers is a fabulous lead off hitter and More or Less is a superb closer. One Right Price doesn't help or hurt a lineup. Pick a Number is okay as long as it's not the lead off hitter or closer. Outstanding lineup.
Overall: This was an above average show. After the pricing games I thought "2 for 6 and none of the prizes won were favorites (with the trips being the best of what was won.) and a strong lineup = average show. But the showcase segment elevated this show for me. To see a 2 car showcase offered was totally awesome baby! And the showcase that was won had a fun theme with fantastic prizes and a very good bid from today's winning contestant. That showcase round elevated this show for me.

Time is Money: It's bad enough to put the Listerine on a platform other than the $6+, but to leave one platform vacant?!With the Listerine being off the $6+ platform, I was confidently able to say "No" each time Earl hit the button because I was pretty sure he was incorrect. I suppose there's nothing in the rules that states that one or more platforms can't be vacant, but definitely not the $6+ one today.
I would have won Money Game, and I think "05" would have been my first choice. :)

I liked Showcase 2. As lazy as it might seem, it's been a while since we've had a two car showcase. Also, we've seen lazier two prize showcases than this.
I would not be surprised if there actually will be an open podium at some point as the correct solution.That would be very mean-spirited and I don't know how the rules are officially written, but I'd have a problem with that and tell the producers as such.

That would be very mean-spirited and I don't know how the rules are officially written, but I'd have a problem with that and tell the producers as such.It could make things "easier" depending on what the products are. Think about products chosen to be "on the extremes". For example, two products priced at about $1 or $1.50, and three priced at $10 or more. Would you like this arrangement? The middle podium would be left open.
Post by: Briguy on January 12, 2015, 09:35:06 PM
* How far in advance do they determine the pricing game lineup before the show? Obviously, they don't know who is going to play what game. For instance, we might get a wheelchair-bound contestant who happens to get to play Hole in One ... or Two?
* How many times through the years have elderly contestants (i.e., 80 and older) had to play games requiring physical action (Race Game, Hole in One ... or Two, Bonkers and now Time is Money)?
Fortunately, the one wheelchair-bound contestant who has played to my recollection played a game where it was easy to accommodate (that was "Cover Up," and he won).
I agree that it was probably not a fortunate circumstance, but that's how it worked out. Wish I knew what to say better.

Adam, is there any way to record the prices of the GP's in the recap when they are revealed at the end?
Obviously, they don't know who is going to play what game...
But as long as they call Earl down after the game is played, there's no way he could get called up for it. That's a much cleaner solution then switching out games or changing the order.
They used to be very careful about this, but recently they seem to have been much more lax. I'd hate to see somebody get hurt.
I would not be surprised if there actually will be an open podium at some point as the correct solution.
This feels like dirty pool to me.

You probably won't agree with me, but in Time is Money, contestants should have an option to bail out and still leave with something, just like in the original. $1,000 would be a reasonable amount for a bailout.
The issue is where would you put it and two, if you were to put it after the $20,000 buzz, who would turn down up to $20,000 for $1,000?

It seems about as dirty to adding paint/fabric protection to car games to make them end in an unorthodox number to me, especially when a zero or a five are alternatives for the final digit.

Mmm, not a bad idea but I think that's what they were trying to avoid when they brought the game back seeing the limited success of the 2003 version. After watching today's episode, however, I kind of think that I would enjoy More or Less more if it was a bailout game. I think that it would add more of a strategic element to a rather simple premise. I think bailout games are the best types of games on the show.

I'm disappointed that they seem to have gone back to resetting On the Franches Mountains for each turn in Cliff Hangers. It just doesn't feel right when the song doesn't get to play all the way through.
I like the new format of Time I$ Møney, but man, can it be a drag to watch when there's a contestant playing it who doesn't know what he's doing.
You probably won't agree with me, but in Time is Money, contestants should have an option to bail out and still leave with something, just like in the original. $1,000 would be a reasonable amount for a bailout.
Yeah, that was such a fantastic rule that the original format chucked it after two playings. And taking a cash bail-out in a cash game that isn't related to anything else going on in the game would look ridiculously awkward.
