They could have done sooooooo much more with this show to make it better. Really was a letdown. It was neat to hear a couple classic showcase cues that have not been heard in some time.

Too bad Michael didn't win the car and the extra money on Lucky Seven.  I, too, was mistaken on the prices for the trips in Most Expensive.

I don't know about this show.  There were some parts good, some bad, some tremendous, some pathetic.  Way too much of a roller coaster in terms of enjoyment for me.

Really liked the modified logo for the occasion in all studio parts (plasma, camera platform, titles).  Nice touch with the banner without overpowering anything.

Absolutely pathetic that Most Expensive was the most expensive game of the day at over $38,000.  And with three trips to boot.  Where were the Cadillacs?  Lincolns?  Thunderbirds?  Lexuses?  Mercedes-Benzes?  The best they could do was a Mazda Miata?  C'mon.  I remember 5,000 - cheaper cars, but ALL CARS.  6,000 - wasn't that the episode where Amy won like 90 some odd thousand dollars in prizes?  7,000 - wow, insanely expensive trips!!!

Nice touch on Lucky $even-thousand today.  But of course, couldn't serve up a simple setup to attempt to lock in a win.

Here's what I don't get.  CBS, in a press release, and Drew, after the first Showdown, extraordinarily pressed the fact that the first three games ever were played next, as a homage to that first episode.  So why couldn't they go completely back to those times with classic cues, classic shots, heck, if the wanted to, they could have put home base in shades of brown and yellow now!

Totally called a loss on Bonus Game after he missed the last prize, sadly.

Nice fake with the $7000 price being wrong in Double Prices (at the classic Tag staging, btw)...but it seemed so...dull...without a grand display (ie. a Amana freezer looks better to the camera than a watch with a gigantic television behind it).

But holy moley did the Showcases make up for it.  Both the classic Showcase cues got played in the first Showcase (last play was at the latest in Season 36), the prizes were very neat and were themed well for the occasion.

All in all, it needed more.  Like a many thousand dollars more of prizes.

I missed Most Expensive because I got home late, but in time for Grand Game. It was an interesting show, here's what I thought:

Grand Game: Excellent playing there, I was worried about the Tide. A
Lucky $even: Another tough setup in this game. Too bad he didn't win. B
Any Number: I thought it would be the zero, but I would've won the Cookware. B-
Bonus Game: Youch! I thought he had the game sealed, and then the warming tray turned out to be the one. This was an extremely painful loss. A-
Double Prices: Yay, it's back to the old staging for DP! And it was won as well. A

It's nice to see the first two showcases updated, and with two classic cues we didn't hear in a while. Good show, though it lacked something.

Based on the hype, I was expecting a show on par with #5,000.  Instead, we got...an encore of the season opener.  Done with taste, but without the Earth-Shattering Kaboom (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EarthShatteringKaboom) I was hoping for.  The over-reliance on trips continues (Most Expensive should have been played for three cars if you ask me).  The homage to the first show was DEFINITELY a nice (dare I say it--CLASSY) touch.

Favorite just-for-the-occasion element:  Lucky $even-Thousand.

Least Favorite:  Most Expensive for three (admittedly pricey) trips.  Trips are nice, but it's getting mighty repetitive to see trips everywhere we turn.

EDIT:  Briguy, who is Bob Barket?

Post by: Briguy on November 05, 2009, 03:55:09 PM
For the three IFUBs and the three PGs in the second half of the show, here's how I would have done things:

IFUB 4 — a woman's jacket. I don't know what kind, except it wouldn't be a fur (per the apparent still-standing fur ban instituted by Bob Barket); since they're giving away expensive fashion clothing, it would make sense.

ANY NUMBER — a Chevrolet ... (little red) Corvette, with a range as the second prize.

IFUB 5 — a sewing machine. Honestly, how many are worth more than $500 these days? It seems the price of a sewing machine has decreased these days.

BONUS GAME — A washer/dryer and an HDTV (with home theater system)

Small prizes: The same or similar — a personal data system (unless they still make electric typewriters today; perhaps a word processor would work here), a set of linens, the World Book Encyclopedia (either the books or a CD-ROM version), and a styling dryer (what version could we use)

IFUB 6 — a dishwasher

DOUBLE PRICES — Yikes, only a food freezer. Unless you offer a built-in, walk-in freezer, there's not much to duplicate here.
--------------------
I see they did not invite either of the first two Showcase contestants back. Perhaps, though, it was not possible for various reasons (are the contestants still living/in good health, living in the area and able to travel on the taping date, etc.?).

The $7,000 cash offer was a nice touch. Perhaps this would be a nice addition to the regular game, as a nice bonus and incentive, albeit tough, to choose numbers wisely.

It was a good show, but there were some things that really bugged me.

Most Expensive: $38,000 for trips?!!  I kinda had a feeling the African Safari was going to get a contestant and it sure did.

Grand Game: I'm glad Heather won this one---I lost--I said the floor finish.

Lucky Seven: I personally liked the touch of turning the 7 one dollar bills into 7 $1,000 stacks.  But the outcome: I had a feeling Kathy wanted to force a loss on this one.

IUFB 4: I personally laughed at Justine's reaction to Jolene oneupping her.

Any Number: That was definitely a tough break there.  I had a feeling the other 2 was in the truck's price.

Bonus Game: DAMN that buffet warming tray!!!  I along with Evie said lower on that one.  And it had the BONUS too!!!  Kathy really was pulling for a loss on that one--that was EVIL with a capital E.

IUFB 6: When Justine said $1, I was like "She's done."  Then...I go "WHAT?!!  She won?!"

Double Prices: I also agreed with the $6775 that Justine picked.  I felt that this game had the only easy setup.

SCSD 2: I was floored when Evie wanted to stay at 30.  I would have spun on that number.

ME: I had it, I can imagine it'd be evil though, and I'm surprised they could EVER get almost 4k worth of trips on the show.
Grand Game: Solid win by Heather, feels like it's been the first one in awhile, though I don't know for sure.
Lucky $even-Thousand: Do that more often? Please? That was one of the most entertaining things I've seen on the show in awhile. Adds some stake to what is already one of my favorite games:
Any #: Oh $5.43. Can't stop...whoever. Because I say they would have done that in the old days too.
SCSD #1: Would Bob ever let people risk something like that to go for a win? I feel like that's never happened.
Bonus: Had that feeling. Especially since a warming tray is kind of one of those obscure things. At least that wasn't Evey's most obscure action though.
Double Prices: Look, it's iJustine. One of the highlights for me, seeing how'd she do. She was...interesting...to say the least. Good and a bit weird. But, she won. And that's always a good thing.
SCSD 2:...Evey? Why? That...makes no sense. 30? *sigh*
Showcases: Never heard of this Miata, so I don't know if Heather was dead on or high like crazy. But, now we know. And iJustine wins it for the internet fans.

I liked the tribute showcases and it was nice to hear the classic cues again.  

Do you guys think Janice got paid a royalty for today since her image was used??   Part of me was hoping she would make a guest appearance...  Oh well.

You'd think with how well they've done the holiday shows that they'd put a little more energy into this one.  The showcases were good but overall it was just ok.

7000 Shows!

...give or take 146. :D

This seemed a lot like the season premiere to me...other than the decorated set, and some of the 7000th Show stuff, this didn't seem like much of a special at all.  In fact, after the Halloween special last week (in which they went a little overboard), this show was lacking.  Fairly ordinary prizes (minus the Showcases), and, while I liked how they played the three games from the very first show, the lineup could have been better. (I'd have reversed the first and second half...making A#/Bonus/DP/ME/Grand/L7).

I absolutely loved Heather's reaction when she won Grand Game.

L7...well, I kinda expected it to be evil when Drew said that they were playing with stacks of 20s as opposed to the usual singles...

Also, as soon as I saw the evil warming tray, I knew it would have the bonus.

I didn't like DP's prize presentation, for several reasons. One, all I saw when the GPT was raised was the DP prop...and a giant TV screen with a disorienting video.  It was only after the awkward cut to the zoomed in shot that I saw the actual prize...which is why they shouldn't offer little tiny prizes like that.

Both of the Showcases were pretty neat. I especially like how they dressed up one of the video screens to resemble an old-fashioned TV...though the presentation of the trip to Acapulco showed why they really need to bring back the trip skins.  And yay...classic Showcase cues (but nay to the crappy new cues used everywhere else!)

OVERALL: 3/5. A fairly decent normal show, just lacking in the "special" department. More expensive prizes (and some more winning) could have helped.

...I really don't know where to start here.  I'm sure the staff meant well with this show, but the things they did just didn't work.

First of all, is anyone bothered by the fact that they put more effort into decorating for Halloween than they did making things look special for what they thought was their 7,000th show?  I mean, there was hardly anything extra on the stage, and they didn't even alter the opening speil.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but they're playing Most Expensive for three trips too often now.  This is something that's supposed to be a special occasion, not something they do three times in seven weeks.  Getting the staging wrong repeatedly doesn't help, either.

Lucky $even Thousand wasn't a bad idea for a one-time deal...although it would have been nice if Drew hadn't explained the rules incorrectly.

...come to think of it, it also would have been nice if Lucky $even had been remotely winnable.  You don't put 9s in the price on a show where you want everything to be happy and exciting.

Bonus Game didn't come around on the Turntable before its prize was revealed.  That worries me.

Oh, and Bonus Game was unnecessarily hard, too.  There was no way anyone was going to get that food warmer right.

Whoever decided it would be a good idea to play Double Prices for a watch should be fired immediately.  I mean, I understand it's a Rolex, and I understand it cost almost $7,000, but that still doesn't change the fact that the only prize in the game WAS A WATCH!  It felt cheap, and it looked extremely awkward...and the plasma screen behind it displaying random crap didn't help matters.

Actually, the prizes today were just bizarre in general.  There were no special cars, yet they offered almost $40,000 worth of trips in Most Expensive.  They really have no clue how to do this right.

I will give them credit for coming up with the best Showcase in ages.  The writing was unusually decent, and nothing they did felt disjointed.  Having the plasmas dressed up as console TVs was a nice touch.

Oh, and this wasn't Rich's 1,001st show as announcer, although it was pretty close.  It's the 988th daytime show he's announced -- his ten tryout episodes, and every daytime show since 2885K except for the last new episode of 2006.  If you include primetime specials, the total goes up to 1,006.

I'd have liked to have seen Any Number, Bonus Game, Double Prices, Grocery Game, Clock Game, Five Price Tags -- a 95% normal lineup of the oldest games still in the rotation.

Most Expensive:  Nice trips, but I can think of better games that could've been played first on a special show like this, i.e., Golden Road.
Grand Game:  Nice win! :-)
Lucky Seven:  I liked how they used stacks of 20s instead of the usual 7 $1 bills.  They should do this more often.
Any Number:  Rats! :-(
Bonus Game:  Heartbreaking loss :cry:, but, IMHO, I think that was the best that Drew's ever hosted this game.
Most Expensive:  Good job! :-)  Could've done without the TV behind the watch, though.
SCSD#2:  About Evie staying on 30 cents:  WHAT!? 8-O ???

That was neat how they played the first 3 games ever played in order in the second half & how the showcases were based on the first 2 showcases ever.

This episode wasn't bad, but it definitely could have been better. More festive decorations would have been appreciated. I agree Steve, they blew it out of the water for Halloween but not a landmark moment in the show's history.... Odd? I didn't even realize they had the displays between the doors until after Most Expensive started.

The second half of the lineup was better than the first, but I did like the idea of giving $7,000 instead of $7 in Lucky Seven.

I would have done the lineup this way: Golden/Grand/Most Expensive/Any#/Bonus/Double. I think it would have flowed better. Also, it would have given away a larger prize in Golden Road making most of us happy for wanting bigger, more expensive prizes for the 7,000th show.

I don't like the idea of having a car game 3rd and then 4th. I know it mattered for today, but I hope it doesn't continue.

Steve, I don't think Bonus Game coming around the turntable before the prize is offered is going away. I think Evie kinda blew the shot, by staying in contestants row dancing around. I know it wasn't shown even after Drew came up, but maybe DiPirro just didn't do it for whatever reason.

Those trips for Most Expensive were really high. I thought Africa was the most expensive, but not that high.

I did enjoy the showcases, especially trying to modernize the prizes offered 38 years ago. The classic music cues were a nice treat. I'm glad Stan dusted the cobwebs off them and used them.

I love DiPirro's directing. However, one thing I wish he would bring back would be showing the giant price tag as Drew walks up to it. I also wish he would show Range Game as Drew and the contestant walk up to it like in the past. He does so well reverting back to classic shots, I'm hoping these two might return. Then again, I would like the freeze frame shots of the contestants as they go to break, but that's probably a timing issue. I don't know if DiPirro's in charge of that decision or not.

Most Expensive: Why they shouldn’t have gotten rid of the trip skins.

Grand Game: I thought it was the detergent. Fantastic win!  :biggrin:

Lucky Seven: $7,000 was a cool idea. Go figure they were going for a loss.

The second half game selection was very appropriate.  :biggrin:

Any Number: She made such a good comeback, only to lose to the piggy bank.

Bonus Game: Drew hosted this perfectly. Tragic loss, due to the evil warming tray.

Double Prices: That image on the plasma made me a bit dizzy. Other than that, fantastic win by Justine to close out the show.

SCSD #2: Really, staying on 30¢?  8-O

Showcases: Purely awesome showcases!  :-D

O.K. show today. It could have been better, but it could have been much worse. Those showcases made up for it big time. It would have been awesome if they closed with the Goodson/Todman logo, and credits immediately scrolling up, like they did up to season 28. (That would be asking for too much).

Double Prices: I picked the right price.  It was 1 prize and the right price is an odd number.  Last playing of Double Prices before today I picked the right price - an even number for a pair of motorbikes.

Agreed, but Justine is not a celebrity per se. She's just an average "Jane" built up quite the following since that Bill in a Box thing. She's also doing commercials for an online backup site.

Heck, I watched SVU with her last night (she was on USTREAM).

Lucky $even Thousand wasn't a bad idea for a one-time deal...although it would have been nice if Drew hadn't explained the rules incorrectly.

Agreed. Drew has been getting much better, but it's still really annoying when he makes such simple errors.

Overall, I thought this was show was a B/B-. Some of the prizes were nice and the showcases were cool, but the show still seemed a bit disjointed. $38,000 in trips for Most Expensive and a $7,000 watch for Double Prices? Seems like certain parts of the episode got more attention than others...

Whoever decided it would be a good idea to play Double Prices for a watch should be fired immediately.  I mean, I understand it's a Rolex, and I understand it cost almost $7,000, but that still doesn't change the fact that the only prize in the game WAS A WATCH!  It felt cheap, and it looked extremely awkward...and the plasma screen behind it displaying random crap didn't help matters.

Bigger is Better...hmmm I remember hearing that from someone before...Wonder who that could be?

First of all, is anyone bothered by the fact that they put more effort into decorating for Halloween than they did making things look special for what they thought was their 7,000th show?  I mean, there was hardly anything extra on the stage, and they didn't even alter the opening speil.

The holiday shows are nice.   In fact, I now look forward to them.    However, I agree 100%, Drew said 7000th show/episode like two dozen times.  Where was the extra energy for this show.   Is it sad that I think this years Halloween show was better than the 7000th show??

Lucky 7000 ---  I'm probably in the minority here, but I really didn't like this at all.    How can you change the rules for just 1 show?   If the next L7 player has $3 left at the end, should they be given $3000 now...   Just saying.   Million$ show, I'd be OK with, but not a typical daytime show.

I guess I just expected more from today's show.    I guess, I had the same letdown for show 6000th.   Perhaps my expectations are just too high after show 5000, because that show was terrific.

Really, guys, something historic like the 7,000th-with-an-asterisk episode should be done correctly.  Golden Road should've led off the show.  But then again, playing Most Expensive for $40,000 worth of trips is not too shabby.  And could somebody explain to me how Australia was only $8,000?  Australia is supposed to be $13,000!  That was the rule, dammit!

I can't believe they still make Mallo Cups.

Yeah, now this is how they should do Lucky Seven for the rest of the season--7 stacks of $1,000!  That's ten times better than the Lucky Seven in my PA games.

I got so excited that Bonus Game would be the 5th PG... and what happened?  No turntable action!  That made me mad.  That warming tray made me even madder.

Yay!  Double Prices at the GPT! :P

Yay!  Classic showcase cue! :P

My showcase bids:
Acapulco--$24,107
Car--$37,807

I think I remember how to do this, here goes:

ME: $38,000+ in cars is great. In trips looks like three showcase trips that weren't won.
GG: A fine job. I also ate it on floor care.
L7: Again, only offer the $6,000 if you present the opportunity to award it.

4thIUFB on: While both classic showcase cues made their appearances, it would have been really nice to see more than just those two, STAN!

A#: Bad time for a second two to be forgotten. Hey, a soapbox...
BG: Evie, you screwed up the reveal. That is a sin in my world bigger than standing on thirty cents (how'd THAT work out?). Ya know, this set up was, dare I say, Dobesque. Give 'em three in a row to build momentum. Reward the contestant who watches the show and knows the fourth prize (w/bonus attached and priced at $180). If they don't go with their gut; hey, sorry about your damn luck. Yes, I rooted for the loss because I didn't get a classic reveal. If they would have showed either A# or BG, we all would have been squirrely.
DP: Gold star for the Giant Price Tag reveal. We will leave it at that.

Showcases were classy and well thought out. Heart was in the right place. Wow factor of the prizes showed their heads were somewhere else.

Hey, who wants cake?

The first cue to start off the first showcase hasn't been heard since season 35, and the only time that the second classic showcase cue got used in season 36 was for the CBS Television City showcase featuring Phire as a security guard.

I was bummed out by this episode. It didn't feel special at all. There was no attempt to even make it feel like that...it's almost like no one cares anymore. At least Stan was able to dig up the classic showcase cues. It's amazing how those two cues blew the other cues used in the first showcase out of the water.

Well that's good on Justine then. It initially got me a bit upset when Drew was talking about 100k's of followers.

Anyways...I dunno. I thought Golden Road was a lock, even if it was really hard. A Mazda Miata isn't even close to exciting. ME for 3 trips isn't exciting even if they're all exotic. Why replicate half a lineup and the exact SCs from the first show anyways? That feels like a lack of creativity...and Lucky 7000 wasn't really that cool to be honest, given it's a miracle someone has extra dollars.

Also, A# was one of Greco's best yet - that 801 cookware (WTF price) made it possible too.

To me, it is pretty exciting... if they use a proper classic cue and the correct staging. Unfortunately, they didn't do either of those this time.

Golden Road... well, all 6 games were spoiled on the official website, so I wasn't expecting it, but it does seem like it'd be played on a show like this. I'm gonna take a wild stab and say it'll be played tomorrow.

We're you watching the same show I was watching?  Just because they didn't do things exactly the way you would have done them doesn't mean they didn't do anything at all.  They clearly were trying to build this up into something.  (Unfortunately, all of the losses kind of deflated the momentum, much as they did in the Halloween show.)  They didn't have to do anything at all.  Talk about no good deed going unpunished.  :-?

Well, I think we can all agree this was somewhat of a disappointment. I'm going to go out on a limb and argue one thing in favor of this episode though. The previous "thousand" shows had this celebratory vibe, of "we've been around such a long time and we're so amazing that we're gonna give away tons of prices". The feel of this show was different, and to me special. It was like "we are not worthy just yet because we're just starting up here, let's do a tribute to the old-school show". And yes the prizes were busted out, but it was more about paying tribute to the past than about "oh look at us we're so great". I appreciated this tone of the show. I still feel at least one luxury car should have been offered, but I think I get the overall feeling they were going for.

I agree that they are overusing 3-trip Most. Still, while Golden Road should have really been played today, $40,000 of trips to start off the show isn't bad. Lucky 7000 was a cool idea but ruined in practice by the difficult setup. I think a lot was ruined in practice by Greco's difficult setups today. Bonus Game was practically set up to be lost exactly the way it was, with 3 easy SPs and then having the one impossible one being the bonus. Any Number had the 3 immediate overs for the thousands digit (3, 4 and 5) all in the piggy bank and the evil other 2 in the truck, exactly how she lost. Grand Game's final product was a complete tossup today. At least one or two of these games should have been set up easier. After all, if we want the show to have a happy, good times feel, wins help, don't they?

Any Number, Bonus Game, Double Prices in order was awesome, as were the showcase themes - they really found nice ways to upgrade. Gotta love DP behind the tag too. Although, speaking of staging, where was Bonus' reveal today? I have a feeling (and I hope I'm right) that the reason we didn't see the usual Bonus reveal was because of the special circumstance of the previous game, Any Number, being on the turntable. If anyone is reading, Bonus loses a lot of its charm without its special reveal (now that we've gotten used to it), so please bring it back.

I LIKED Double Prices for a watch. Wouldn't want to see it every day, but if it's a Rolex, that's a pretty cool idea. I think they tried really hard (and mostly succeeded) to offer "cool", "new" prizes today.

Overall, I really really appreciated the feel of this show. Unfortunately, the prizes and setups left something to be desired.

Timings:
Most Expensive (3.5) - 3:39
Grand Game (5) - 4:58
Lucky $even (4.5) - 4:11
Any Number (5) - 4:12
Bonus Game (5.5) - 5:19
Double Prices (3) - 2:59
Total (26.5): 25:18

After watching today's show, I've come to the conclusion that the producers are incapable of making any show special...even when they brag and advertise that the show will be special.

If this is what they deliver as a special show...then they should stop advertising it as a special show.

I'm a bit perplexed as to the actual eligibility of Justine. 

I've seen her blogs several times and noticed her backstage at The Price is Right before.  (There was a picture she posted that circulated around the internet last year of her posing with the new Big Wheel)

It's certainly interesting.

Post by: The Square on November 05, 2009, 09:54:17 PM
Okay, so they completely dropped the ball on the season premiere. But I'm a forgiving man, I can allow them a misstep. The 7,000th show should come close to the same level of extravagance that the season premiere should have displayed, right? Maybe they were saving it all for a show that was more promotable.

And within the first two minutes, they've lost me. The first item up for bids is a camera? A camera??? It's your big milestone episode, and you're kicking things off with a camera? I don't care if it's $1,800, it's still just a camera!

And then the first game... is Most Expensive for trips. Much nicer trips than they played for in the season premiere, certainly, but think about it for even one second, show. I know you're in love with giving away trips this year, and the 7,000 miles thing is a decent gimmick, I'll admit, but you're The Price is Right! Nobody wears a t-shirt to TPiR that says "I came here to win a trip to Australia!" You're known for cars! I cannot understand how they can think it's a good idea to begin the show by not offering a car.

$38,000 worth of trips or a $38,000 car. Which would get the better reaction? I mean, is it that difficult to realize?

And there's another loss to begin a special episode, although I picked Africa, so I'm not going to blame the show for that. And since there's no commercial, maybe now things are going to... a bicycle? Are you joking? The second item up for bids on the 7,000th episode is a bicycle?!

The second pricing game is Grand Game. A fine game for a special episode, but I still can't believe there's not going to be a car at all within the first two games. But unlike Plinko from the season premiere, this was actually winnable, so it's good that they decided to end the first segment with a good win.

The third item up for bids, the outdoor dinette, was a better prize than the bicycle, despite it being only $700.

Lucky $even Thousand... okay, that fits with the theme of the show. The contestant probably won't win more than one or two thousand, and he definitely can't win all $7,000, Drew, but it works. But then there's a 9 in the price? What is the reasoning behind presenting such a difficult setup on a highly promotable episode?

I'm not sure how to feel about how Any Number went. Jolene seemed to be picking numbers at random, but I think that $5.43 piggy bank would have snared a lot of players regardless.

Bonus Game... a nice bonus in the chairs, TV, and ugly jukebox, but surprise surprise... the bonus is with the warming tray that nobody was going to win! I'm baffled by the show's newfound desire to make contestants not win.

So we know that Double Prices is coming up, so they're going to have to do something to make it interesting. Now would have been a good time for a luxury trip, if they hadn't blown that on the first game. The classic Giant Price Tag staging is great, but the prize is a watch? I don't care if it is a Rolex... if you have to take a secondary shot of the prize because nobody can see the prize when it's first revealed, it shouldn't be the one and only prize in the pricing game. At least they set it up to be won.

The showcases were presented as a nice nod to the show's past, although the subtext was clearly "Look at the crap that they used to present! We're so much better than that now!" Which is the attitude that the new regime has always projected about the show's past, so at least they're being consistent. And by devoting half of the hour to a "nostalgic" look at the show's first episode, they can distract everybody from the fact that they're not actually doing anything special in the here and now for the 7,000th episode, so they don't have to give any big-ticket prizes away! It's win-win!

So overall, as I said last week, they still don't know how to put together an everyday episode of The Price is Right. Or even a special episode when they can't hang anything on holiday gimmicks. Drew continues to be a forgettable presence, so bully for him, I suppose. It's better than season 37, but I'm not seeing the great turnaround that others have proclaimed.

(See above.)

It is definitely interesting, but I don't think there's anything that would disqualify her. As far as the show, and as far as any of us know, she's not a CBS employee, she's not an employee of an affiliate or a related company, and she's not a relative of any employees.

Maybe she just has a friend that can get her on the lot? I know the last time I was out in California, for example, one of my friend's co-workers offered to get us a pass to explore the CBS backlot. Another time, I was given a day pass to explore WB's studios out in Burbank... (I really wish I would've taken advantage of both of those offers).

I don't know if the CBS offer was legit or not, but the WB one was - does anybody know if CBS lets their employees give out day passes?

Heck, if that's not the case, she's done quite a few interviews. It wouldn't surprise me if she was at CBS for that very reason, saw the wheel, and took a picture.

Well I'll admit, that it was a decent show. The only problem I've had with the most recent celebratorial shows, and Christmas week shows, Is that they've been more of a let down because there's no hype in some of the games. Roger has it set in our minds that when we have a celebratorial show that we are going to see some big souped up prizes. It wasn't unusual within recent years to see at least 8 cars offered through out the course of a celebratorial show. Now were getting let down because of it.

Most Expensive- I'll give them credit that they at least offered some super expensive trips. But I'm like you guys, it's not as exciting to play with three trips using the plasmas. I find it funny that Price has only one size of plasma while LMaD has two. LMaD' large size plasmas I think would feesibly help make it more exciting. It was too bad he lost. I figured it wasn't Australia because of the "Farther from LA, the more expensive the trip" rule. But I didn't know which was farther, India or Africa.  

Grand Game- something about this game made the show feel like a normal show to me.

Lucky 7- That was a bummer. I think he played decently.

Any Number- She made a terrible mistake with her strategy, whatever it was. It seemed like she was focusing on the second number and think it was a high number. That was kind of a no-no but thankfully it helped her get close to winning the car.

Bonus Game- I don't think I've been so happy to see this game, and it's one of my favorites. I think I was just so happy to see this game because it is such and underplayed game and to see it on this special episode made this playing special for me. I figured once the guy lost the warming tray that it was all over for him. I was right!

Double Prices- It was cool to see this game get played from behind the Price Tag, but playing for a Rolex watch made the huge reveal feel very odd.

Showcases- it was cool to hear some of the older cues. I loved how they used the plasmas. That was a pretty cool design by making them look like old fashioned televisions.

I'd probably give today's show a B-.

I think Marc was being sarcastic about that, Unique.  After all, he willingly gave up his eligibility a long time ago just to meet Roger, and that essentially laid the groundwork for this site.  So I wouldn't be surprised if once you willingly give up your eligibility, you can never be a contestant.

Marc, why the sarcasm? Whether you realize it or not, it's condescending, at the very least.

You want a thorough analysis of the eligibility rules, fine.

Quote
*As of Nov. 12, 2007, anyone who has not been a contestant on the show in the last 10 years is eligible to be chosen.
*Never have been on any other game show, local, syndicated or network, within the past year.
*Never have been on more than two other game shows in the past 10 years.
Easy enough, that's pretty self-explanatory, although you could go off on a tangent and argue about what constitutes a "game show". What would a game show be? Would a reality show that provides no sort of prize, but maybe a stipend, be a game show? Hell, you could even argue about the definition of a year (extended warranty providers do it all of the time).

Quote
Also, you must:
*Not be affiliated with anybody employed by CBS Corporation, including any parent, subsidiary or entity affiliated with the CBS Corporation.

As there is nothing in the text which defines "affiliated", a court would look to the plain definition of affiliate; that definition is "to bring into close association or connection." But how close does one have to be in order to be considered "affiliated", hmm? Certainly, if your daddy works for CBS, there's a problem. But what about an aunt - are you still affiliated with that person? Distant cousin? My 87 year old Great Uncle Joe?

Now, how about friends - what if your friend works for CBS? What kind of contact would it take to become "affiliated" with that person? Obviously, with your close relationship with former producer Roger Dobkowitz, I would dare say that you are affiliated with him, along with John, perhaps. That would make you (and John) ineligible, no doubt, as long as he's employed by CBS, and as long as you (or him) continued to stay in touch with these mysterious, disgruntled people that work on the show.

But lets consider if you didn't run a website dedicated to a show and you were, oh let's say neighbors with Roger. Or maybe you went to school with him? And lets say you mentioned to him that you liked the show and would "love to see CBS sometime." Are you "affiliated" now? Of course not.

I'm giving Justine the benefit of the doubt here. She might have a casual friend that either works at CBS or works on the lot (and plenty of syndicated, and non-CBS shows tape there) that gave her a day pass. She might've been on the lot to do an interview. She's not affiliated with CBS, its parents or subsidiaries, etc. etc.

i posted in the other area too but this is total bulls*** that Justine Ezarik was picked to play a game.  i have been to tapings with my friends and we never get called but she did.  they had to know who she was and did it on purpose.

oh and guess what?  she won everything!!! HMMMMMM

Oh hell.

You know that former Survivor contestants have appeared on Price too? I'd say that's more of a conflict than an internet celebrity most of the world isn't going to know about, but I digress -- as long as a contestant meets the eligibility requirements, they're permitted to be contestants.

To put it into perspective: Barack Hussein Obama could be a contestant on The Price is Right. He is not affiliated with anybody from CBS Corporation, or its affiliates, is over 18, and has never been on a game show. Just because somebody is 'famous' doesn't strip them of eligibility.

As long as he doesn't plan to seek re-election, perhaps!  Current political candidates are not eligible to be contestants on The Price is Right.

And to be clear, I didn't intend to imply anything when questioning Justine's eligibility.  I am simply perplexed by it, as I had seen those pictures posted about a year ago of her backstage at the show.  To me, it would raise a red flag.

Also, don't forget that "celebrity" (and I use that term very loosely) contestants are not a new occurrence on Price. Andrew Copeland, drummer for rock band Sister Hazel, was on in the late 90s and Douglas "Ox" Baker, former NWA amd AWA pro wrestler, was on in the early 80s. At the time of their appearances, both were prominent in their selected field but, with people like this, celebrity is all relative. Being a tech junkie and a wrestling fan, I can immediately identify iJustine and Ox Baker. But Andrew Copeland? Not so much.

So, if I'm given a tour of TVC, and just happen to come across the Plinko set sitting in the hallway, take a picture of myself beside it, and post it on Facebook, does that make me ineligible? In today's world, everyone and their dog can become a pseudo reality celebrity if they put their mind to it. Unless they really dropped the ball there and failed to do their eligibility check properly, she seems as eligible as the next guy. Vanna White appeared on the show and was most certainly in Hollywood actively seeking fame and fortune. Would that have been enough reason not to give her the chance to play?

As for the people moaning and groaning that the show wasn't "special" enough?... It was 7000 shows. 1000 more shows than 6000. A nice achievement to be sure, but not exactly an excitable hallmark. Call me when it reaches 10,000. They produced a fine show suitable for today's / last Janaury's accomplishment.

Very indicative of the show at this point, although they seem to be slowly backing off on going trip crazy lately.

It was a regular daytime show with insane trip prices that actually got revealed for once, about 20 mentions too many of the number 7,000, and a really badly-thought-out Double Prices.

Steve - I think a lot of people are bringing up previous "celebrity" contestants because some people think the problem is that she's a "celebrity" (and yeah, that might legitimately be a problem, though not one affecting one's eligibility - Price is about ordinary folks, and has a reputation to keep).

The issue is who allowed her to be backstage, and would she potentially be "affiliated" with that person (if a CBS employee) in a way that would make her ineligible.

I know a lot of us here like to think the folks running the show are incompetent, but wouldn't an issue like this be handled by CBS's S&P, not Price & Fremantle? I think if it really were an issue, S&P would've stepped in, and we would've seen that infamous disclaimer at the end of the show.

Think what you all will about Justine, but I think the bottom line to this discussion is this: CBS, Fremantle, etc. had a full three months since this show went into the can to check out Justine's eligibility - or lack thereof. Same for the other eight that got called down. That should be a routine thing. If they've found nothing untoward by now I'd say it's very likely they never will. Thus, Justine is considered an eligible contestant for this episode.

I'll say this, however: Justine's damn lucky she didn't end up with the consolation prizes. She did set herself up for the kill, and if that $1 bid had been properly One-upped by Vemal (as Jolene did in the 4th One-Bid - loved the reaction), we'd be talking more about that.

Thank you!

Shame on Vemal for not banishing Justine to the FFBC with the appropriate $2 bid!  I hope she realizes what a mess she's gotten us into.

Also, say what you will about Evie, but he was my personal favorite contestant of the day.  He was great with all of his Redd Foxx-isms (clutching his heart and shouting "This is the big one!"), and he deserved better than the bum deal he got in Bonus Game.  (On the other hand, I have no explanation for his choosing to stay with .30 in the SCSD.)  Best of luck with your Bucket List, buddy.

Loved the "Pound cake!" chants in Grand Game today.  Heather was a fantastic contestant, and that $10,000 win was the highlight of the show along with the classic Showcase cues.  (LONG LIVE THE CLASSIC CUES!!!! :-D)

And finally, I may have missed this in the comments somewhere, but that bicycle in the old clip from the second Showcase was an EXERCISE bicycle, so wouldn't it have been more appropriate to offer a home gym rather than a motorcycle?

Well, I am not sure what fine line there is for someone who has been lucky enough to be backstage at CBS or Price is Right to be selected as a contestant, but it certainly probably isn't the best choice to if you have any reason to avoid suspicion.  ("Plinko was rigged," "Perfect Showcase Bid")   Obviously if she was backstage she knows someone at CBS and it would seem that it would be a conflict of interest.

In Price is Right's defense, it is certainly logical that they weren't aware of her backstage presence, but with Drew being so Mac-savvy, there is little to no doubt that he knew who she was.  (Especially considering that he Twittered about her presence on the show!)

Does anyone else find it a bit odd that she happened to be not only a contestant, but a contestant on the widely publicized 7,000th show?

Not everyone buys their African safari on Expedia.com. I dare you to find a trip like that, of equal quality, for least than $10,000. Quite frankly, if I had been the contestant, I would have picked India. I knew instantly that Australia was the cheapest of the three.

I know I'm putting my head into a hornet's nest here, but I have to chime in.  According to her own video blog, she was not given a day pass by anyone at CBS.  She and her sisters got tickets the regular way: by going to the studio and waiting for tickets. In fact, they couldn;t get the early show that day, so they got the later show - which happened to be this episode.

As for her eligibility, she is not being employed by CBS, so she's clean there. As for her shot of the big wheel - she was probably visiting and had a chance to have a photo done with it. She's a fan like any of us, for heaven sake. I'm giving her and the staff the benefit of the doubt.

Post by: thewhammy_2000 on November 06, 2009, 11:45:40 AM
So, this is that 7000th show that some people were wondering...

Most Expensive: If there's one thing game shows like PYL tell me, is that safaris are expensive. That was my sure pick (and also because I didn't have a clue about the others). As soon as I saw that huge $18,184 for the safari and the other prices were revealed, I said, "Gregory done blew almost $40,000 worth of trips!"

Grand Game: Wow. I would have blew it by picking the Quick Shine. Shined away my grand.

Lucky Seven: Boy, do I miss paranoia.

Any Number: I just had this feeling the price of the Vega was going to be the price of the F-150. Whatever the price was, I kept saying 2 for the second number and winced when Jolene said 3.

Bonus Game: I feel stupid becaue I thought Grocery Game was next. Now I feel disappointed at that painful loss.

One Bid 6: Never heard of ijustine, nor do I watch L&O:SVU.

Double Prices: At least I got this and Any Number right. I wasn't sure what to pick, but I was hoping ijustine got ir right.

Showcase Showdown 2: "Staying on 30? Yeah. Good Luck."

Showcases: Ah, a nice retrospective of the first pair of Showcases, with the classic cues to boot.

Maybe because I think I was expecting more, but don't know what, I think this seems as good as a regular episode. Also, after reading about ijustine, I had a feeling there was going to be some bruhaha about her eligibility. Hey, I was thinking about that, too.

Although, speaking of staging, where was Bonus' reveal today? I have a feeling (and I hope I'm right) that the reason we didn't see the usual Bonus reveal was because of the special circumstance of the previous game, Any Number, being on the turntable. If anyone is reading, Bonus loses a lot of its charm without its special reveal (now that we've gotten used to it), so please bring it back.

I have a bad feeling that the Bonus Game reveal change might be permanent because of how unusual it now is (remember when the Hi-Lo reveal was changed), and because Drew keeps "forgetting" to explain the game before the bonus prize is displayed. I really hope not though!!!

I agree with you about the loss of its charm.



I have an idea about Lucky $even gameplay though. I'll try to bring it up (it probably already has been) next time the game is played.

For the 7000th show, it felt too much like an ordinary show, but there were some good things.

Most Expensive: Are you kidding me?  You start off a special show with trips?  Nice trips, sure, but not the way to start.  I knew Gregory was a loser when he picked Australia, but I didn't think Africa would be more expensive than India.

Grand Game: Great win, and love the reaction from Heather.

Lucky Seven: I liked the idea of playing with the $1000 stacks.  Too bad it was a loss

Any number: Now that was a tragedy, she was so close.  All the numbers I thought could be the second number in the price of the truck were in the piggy bank.

Bonus Game: I thought the price of that tray was higher.

Double prices: That was an odd prize to give away in a pricing game.  Save the watches (Even a Rolex) for one bids.

SCSD 2: Obviously Evie doesn't watch the show.

Showcases: Like this part of the show best.  Enjoyed the classic showcase cues and how they linked the prizes back to the first episode.
My bids:
first showcase: $20,000
second showcase: $30,000

Overall, it was disappointing for such a special occasion, both from a limited amount of winning and the average prizes.  I would have started by making the Rolex watch the first one bid, then have The Golden Road up first and playing for a high end luxury car, maybe a Mercedes-Benz S Class.  Save the India and Africa trips and play One Right Price for them later in the show.  And they could have done better than a Mazda in the showcase.

Well, my opinion of this show is pretty much simple. It sucked. Seriously, nothing, absolutely NOTHING made it feel like it was the 7000th show. The lineup was boring (I don't care if the last half was the first three games ever played. When you play those games all the time anyway, it just makes the episode feel like a regular one!) When the total winnings for a show like this is only in the $55 thousand range, you know something's wrong. There was absolutely no excitement in this episode whatsoever, and, for the first time ever, I found that I was actually forcing myself to watch. I was very disappointed.

Well, I guess we all have our opinions about the 7,000th episode and whether it should have been "special."

I'm not so sure that all multiple-of-1,000 shows should be "special," "go all out," etc. I wonder if TPiR did such a thing for their 1,000th, 2,000th or 3,000th show, aside from mentioning said fact and then going on with the proceedings? I can't even recall offhand whether there was a special 4,000th show?

I admit the glamour wore off for Wheel of Fortune did the same for their 3,000th and 4,000th (syndicated) shows — all these were were "clips" episodes, with no other fanfare. No big special prizes, just remembering the memories. I can't seem to recall that WOF had a special "5,000th" episode, but I guess that's a discussion for another forum.

It seems a shame we've been weaned on expecting the special when we reach these milestone shows, such as a yacht and a Cadillac DTS sedan with all the goodies. Yeah, it would have been nice, but it didn't happen. The sun came up the next day, and we're all still here, praising the good and panning the bad.

What history? She has no history with the show!

B-b-b-but... she took a picture with the big wheel! And god knows what she may have did with the old trusty Plinko stick!  :wink:

She took a picture with A big wheel.  Come on...don't we ALL have a regulation size practice wheel in our garage or basement for posing/practice purposes?  Mine is between my full-scale PLiNkO and my yet-to-be-finished Cliffhanger.  COME *ON* NOW!

ME for 3 trips isn't exciting even if they're all exotic. Why replicate half a lineup and the exact SCs from the first show anyways?

What about playing Most Expensive for the Africa safari, a Honda Fit, and another car cheaper than the safari?

Finally watched this and read through the thread.  I must agree with a lot of the comments here.  This episode just didn't seem that special.  Some of the prizes and most of the setups just did not contribute to a celebratory atmosphere.  They should be a bit more lax on special episodes by setting up for more wins on themed episodes and make it up later (unfortunately, setups are harder like this more often than not).

I did enjoy the $7000 in Lucky Seven as well as the nods to the first episode. But while we're acknowledging the first episode, how about getting a bit more into that spirit with a few more classic cues.
