Pretty good show today, but what pleased me the most is that the lineup made sense. Let's hope things keep up .

It's In the Bag was so setup to be won today.

Wow, it seems like a rarity nowadays to get a sp game when It's In the Bag shows up so when Secret X showed up 4th I was like "yessssssssssssss."

I'm not surprised we got a wipeout in X today because those SP's were downright tricky/impossible.

That loss in Most Expensive was pretty inexcusable.

Who in the world is Tom Stever?

-Lineup: Car Game 3rd? Sensible flow? No Baggy first? +1
-Rangey: Pretty high. 8/10
-Baggy: I disagree Rob, this was a really tricky one. But that may be just me - are potatoes always cheap? Also, Hot Pockets sure look like 3.39 when they're 3.49 or 4.49, or whatever they're up to now...soup, supplement and skin cream were gimmes, though. 8/10
-Dicey: Good intuition and el lucky on that 3rd digit. Once I saw 21_3(5), I knew with the repeat rule and the odd look of 6 she had escaped. 9/10
-SD1: 4/5
-X: The 2nd SP was really tricky, AND it was at the bottom today. What's wrong with Cape Cod? :( 8/10
-Liney: A possible timing issue was saved by this EXACTA, wow. :P 10/10
-ME: Meh...I want to say it wasn't the easiest, but clothes are now either outrageously cheap or expensive, and that's annoying. But the trainer should have been the obvious wrong. 7/10
-SD2: 4/5
-SC1: Two cooking classes?? I see a 25k boat, 9k trip, and 8k range... 4.5/5
-SC2: Wow...bathroom. Don't sense El Cheapo here. 4.5/5
-Results: Yep, the expected garf / decent. 8/10
-Drew: Criticized OB1 a bit too much, and sent 1/2 to her car. I was hoping this would be gone soon. 8/10

PGs: 50/60
SDs: 8/10
SCs: 17/20
Drew: 8/10

83 + 1 = 84 --> B

These days, a lineup like that gets a big ol' +10 from me! Most Expensive again? Meh...but hey, beggars can't be choosey.

And really ya'll, contestants nowadays are always gonna freak out when they win a car it seems, so I agree totally with Drew sending some of the estatic ones over to see their new prize. I mean, they just played for and won the thing. They're livid, happy, and releived. It only makes sense to tell'em to go check it out.

Remember the guy last week or whenever that played Double Prices or somegame and won a spa and upon his win, he gleefully ushered himself over to the prize display area? That's just how contestants act in 2009. I doubt that'll end. Nor should it.

When I first saw John's hint that we would be seeing a toilet on Price soon, a number of things flowed through my head - would Drew come out of the doors in a bathroom stall? Would a toilet be given away as a prize? Would there be some toilet humor coming to the show? Luckily, it was the second one, and it wasn't really as bad as some users on this board were expecting - it was given away as part of a bathroom set (which make sense), and it's not just any kind of toilet - it's a super advanced Japanese one!

I'm sure somebody will disagree just to be disagreeable, though.

Not a terrible line up today. Could have been better. I would have swapped Secret X for Bonus Game, but it is what it is.

That was one hell of an expensive outdoor lounge.  :-o

Boy, I was sooo hoping for Pocket Change to show up third instead of Dice Game.

Was this the first time a toilet was ever offered as a prize on the show?

The chef thing is cool, but if its going to be constant, I think they need different chefs to be on the show. Eitherwise, this will get old fast.

I was wondering, ever since the perfect showcase bid a few weeks back, the showcase prizes have been more and more difficult to price. Random trips and rarely seen cars now seem to be offered, which is awesome. Unusual prizes (today's bathroom, and the swimming pool/spa thing last week) are great, but I'm wondering if they are there so that no one can ever bid perfectly again. Just a thought.

3Strikes: By the looks of things, CBS is doing whatever it takes to prevent a perfect showcase from ever surfacing. There was a lot of bad press put against the show, the host and this website once the ARP was revealed to the public. One person even posted a message saying that all three of the above were possibly in cahoots, which as you know is a lie.

One-Bid #1:  $5,000 for a lounger?!

Range:  Now that is a friggin' random trailer.  CSS players, take note.

Baggy:  Well, there it is.  The cream of mushroom soup is now 2 cents more expensive, at $1.31.  Even Drew remembered it being $1.29.  Obvious edit at the end of this segment.

One-Bid #3:  Fireball wants that cooking table. :-)

Dice:  Could we please play something besides Dice Game?  Where the hell is Pocket Change, More or Less, or Temptation?  That middle number had the real potential to be a 6, but thankfully, the dice gods were smiling upon Laura today.

X:  Good to see a SP game on the same show as Baggy, though I was really hoping for Bonus Game.  Yes, I know.  My hatred of Bonus Game has been well-known on this forum for years... but with it being absent for the last three months, I'm actually starting to miss it.  Evil items today.

LEU:  WTF?  Didn't we just see this game two weeks ago?!  I want Pocket Change, More or Less, or Temptation, dammit! :oldevil:

ME:  Anybody else besides me notice Rich's reflection in the mirror of the wine cabinet?

SC #1:  This is a nice sexed-up showcase.  You put Tuscany with a Sanibel boat and you're talking $40,000 easily.

SC #2:  Woohoo!  A toilet!  And I thought Frank and I were the only ones brave enough to offer toilets in our games.  Did everybody notice how enamored the audience was about the toilet?

My showcase bids:
Italy/Boat--$42,007 ( :dsw: )
Toilet--$18,007

You know if we didn't havee $5000 IUFB, perhaps they could afford to play Triple Play or Golden Road.

$5000 ???!!! for a chair???   That thing made of gold???

A Toilet?????    Any one know, is that ther first time TPiR has ever offered a toilet?  We've discussed crappy prizes before, but not litterally :)

Range Game was set up for a loss too with it being that high up on the board.

Show wasn't too bad over all.

Post by: TPIRnostalgic on February 04, 2009, 07:16:37 PM

Very interesting show today with some very strange prizes.  

First IUFB: $5000?!  JEEEEEESUS!!  I was not expecting that.  

Range Game: Obviously not meant to be won.  It was anyones guess how much that trailer cost.  

It's in the bag: Either very smart or very lucky player.  It goes to show you that not going all the way can be the right decision.  

Dice Game: As much as I like this game, it's being played too much.  Glad she won the car though.

SSD1: Over by a nickel, OUCH!!

X: OUCH!! Again.

Line em up: This is where things got interesting.  If I was in the audience, she may have lost.  I did not expect her to win first try with those numbers.  

Most expensive: At least I would have won here.  

Showcases: Strange, very strange.  The first one looked pretty cool.  The chef, the trip, and the sailboat, yet she passes and ends up with a high tech toilet?!  At least no one had to do a demonstration on stage...

And maybe I'm just a moron when it comes to guessing prices, but I would have sworn she had overbid with 32K.  Yes, there was a lot of really nice stuff there, but it's not often when a showcase is worth anymore than 30K.  I couldn't believe she actually lost by underbidding by almost ten thousand dollars!!!

Actually there was even a contestant from a week or two ago who won a television and walked over to see it, although he mostly stood in front of it jumping up and down for the camera.

I was so afraid at the end of last week that the change in atmosphere we saw during the Christmas shows was going to wind up being a fluke after all.  Fortuneately, that doesn't seem to be the case -- all the shows so far this week have been above average, and even the stupid elements (Drew not being behind Door #2, the "Hey, Drew!" prize descriptions) haven't been as stupid as they usually are.  Like I said yesterday, it's not enough in and of itself to completely repair the show...but it's a damn good start.

Drew's hosting was very good today.  There were still things I would have done differently -- working on the explanation of Dice Game, giving a bit more exposition after the wrong answers in Secret "X", and stating things a bit more bluntly when it became obvious that Most Expensive wasn't going to be won -- but again, it's a damn good start.

Wow, the only two games won today were the car games.  That's unusual.

Wow, Secret "X" and Line em Up got played again already!  That's not bad by any means -- just surprising (although Bonus Game instead of Secret "X" would have been nice).

The kinds of showcases they had today are fine, but I do wish they'd start using skit showcases again alongside them.  There's nothing wrong with having something like "The Dating Show" or "Star Schlep" every few days.

Speaking of the Showcase...a toilet?  I get that it was part of a bathroom package, but still, that's a bit odd.

The problem is, for me anyway, contestants used to go and run over to the car on their own every so often. It was a "once in a while" moment that was really neat when it finally happened. Drew telling them to run over and see the car after a win kind of steals the thunder of their celebration by dictating how they should respond. Also, it kills the "specialness" of that "once in a while" moment if Drew tells them the same thing every time. The more Drew tells the contestants what to do, the less chance they have to be stars in their own right.

I don't mind Pat sending winners to their cars. That just "fits" Wheel of Fortune. It'd just look weird to me if they didn't get sent over to the car when Vanna awaits.

There's a difference. Pat sending contestants to their car on Wheel of Fortune = meeting Vanna White. Not to say if someone wins a car on Price that they don't want to meet the models (maybe back in the day when the models weren't rotated constantly, but I doubt now. I remember many moments when contestants wore shirts just to meet the models. As a matter of fact, Carlos should be able to upload a clip from the 25th Premiere where a guy wants to meet Chantel and Bob does it after a one bid.) To be honest, I bet half of the studio audience would not even know the names of the models if Drew didn't mention them constantly. Vanna is more well-known. Also on Wheel, most contestants and their families join Vanna by their car.

On Price, Drew does it all the time, even if they really don't want to go to their car. Drew seems to force them to go their cars, while Pat invites them.

I could care less if Drew sends contestants to their cars, but its better if the contestant does it on their own. I love it when they run around a like crazy before the car plug is read. That's usually 100 times better and funnier.

I think what's more odd is that Drew didn't make a joke about it... considering the way he is, I thought that was a lock to be something he'd take off and run with.

Agreed. An example: Anyone remember Scott's runamuck after winning Any Number a few years back? I don't remember what kind of car he won, but I do remember his reaction of running all over the place and even running over to Rich who shook his hand. It's spontaneous celebratory reactions like that I really like--not the being told to go over and celebrate by the car--but the individual contestant's reaction to winning.

Range Game:  Rats! :-(
It's In The Bag:  Good thing Douglas (not Laura, Joe) walked with the $2,000!  There sure aren't very many $16,000 winners.  Perhaps they should let the contestant keep the $1,000 no matter what if he or she has the first bag right.
Dice Game:  Great job considering 2 out of the 4 rolls were 4s! :-)  I think 3 and 4 are the toughest numbers to have to try to guess higher or lower than (for lack of a better way to put it) because they're right in the middle.
Secret X:  Horrible loss! :-(
Line Em Up:  From a wipeout to an exacta.  Awesome job! :-D
Most Expensive:  Too bad! :-(
Showcases:  Good showcases today!  That toilet in the second showcase was pretty neat lookin'.

Pretty good show overall, IMHO.

Timings:
Range Game (4) - 3:33
It's In The Bag (6.5) - 5:55
Dice Game (4.5)- 4:21
Secret X (4.5) - 3:41
Line 'em Up (5.5) - 5:02
Most Expensive (3.5) - 3:09
Total time (28.5): 25:41

Well, we were certainly overtimed today, and what a solid lineup of games too to boot! If not for the Secret X wipeout followed immediately by the LEU exacta shortening up both games a bit (that's really not something you often see, a wipeout followed by an exacta), we might have needed some editing for time. I'm beginning to think time isn't as scientific a thing to Adam as it is to Roger - I'm probably going to start a thread in Talk Is Right in the next couple days elaborating on this. Still, great game selection today - that can't be argued.

We certainly saw some random prices today, and a budget seemingly out of control with a huge first 3 acts and then a huge $40,000+ showcase. Seems the range of daytime showcases is ever increasing and now can cover a range of $30,000 even on an "average" show. Seeing the toilet in SC2 was just odd but I thought it was a pretty cool price - I'm fine with them offering bathrooms if they're as expensive and sophisticated as that one was. One unfortunate thing it does mean is that bathrooms won't be as funny when offered in Host Your Owns now that they've been offered in an actual show.

That Bag setup today was easier than some have been - I won the game. Still, I like the increased selection of random GPs the show uses to go along with the sponsored ones - it keeps the contestants honest! Yet, the fact the sponsored ones are there consistently makes the game not too unreasonably hard even for someone who watches on a semi-regular basis. I'm happier to see these random GPs than I am those random supplements that always seemed to come up last year, that's for sure.

We unfortunately had Rich-Drew interaction during a one bid today, which was a little silly, and we also had a Dr-entrance. But, this is still the old show. It's enjoyable again. It has its bits of silliness in it - and folks, that is what Drew brings to the show, just like Bob's teases in Punchboard are what he brought to the show. Different hosts, different skills. Yes, they were taking it way over the top this season. However, if they continue along this track (and maybe even make the showcases a little more skit-like, as long as they keep them coherent - again, that golfer showcase was excellent), they'll be OK. If Drew continues to master the games also and start to come into his own as "THE host of the greatest game show in the world" like he has really started to do in the past couple weeks (be honest, folks), we'll be just fine. That leaves our main concern left to be, of course, the lineups, which I'm beginning to see a certain logic too (again to be elaborated on later).

For perspective, the $590 fur offered on the 1st daytime price in 1972 would have been about $3,050 in 2008 dollars.

Range: Too bad.

IITB: I knew he had no chance putting the Hot Pockets in the $3.39 bag and I would've had no chance at the $16K. It was a real toss-up between the juice and the mashed potatoes. I'm glad she bailed, though.

Dice: Very nice.

Secret X; Talk about rare bad luck.

Line: An EXACTA!!!! Boy, was Laretta overjoyed or what? Excellent.

Most: Too bad.

Showcase: The first one left me wondering if this was gonna be a biggie after seeing cooking lessons offered. I would've bidded at least $33K. A bathroom offered in a showcase??!!!   :-o :-o :-o Who knew we would see the day!!!

A 3.25-star show.

A nice choice of episodes to rerun yesterday, with exciting wins in Dice Game and line 'Em Up. A good show overall, too.
