The last of three straight shows with guest appearances, and this time, it's a country music-themed show!

Money Game: The last two digits were very tough, for sure.

2 for the Price of 1: I was also thinking $940 for the games.

Secret "X": Unfortunate loss there.

One Wrong Price: I would've picked the barset.

Stack the Deck: Great win!

Range Game: I knew he stopped the rangefinder a bit too late.

Showcases: Somehow, I had the sneaking suspicion that Hali had gone over.

Miscellaneous: Larry and Heidi make a good duet, with his guitar and her harmonica, and I also enjoyed the Reba McEntire segment.

I'm not a fan of country music, but I enjoyed this. It really wasn't as crazy and stupid as everyone thought it would be (except for the horse). The bonus trip was a nice touch, as Hag said.  It was nice to see Stacky won as well.

This was not a very good show.  There was a pretty significant flaw, one that should have been rectified.  The horse entrance was bad, but certainly didn't affect the entire episode.

Super Rush Mode, however, did.  It's not really a good sign when they have to zip through the first pricing game at light speed.

We know Adam is fully capable of doing super short-timed lineups.  Today really needed to be one of those days, because the entire episode was rush, rush, rush!  The whole thing with Reba at the end obviously ate up a good chunk of time, but this was the one day that they really needed to compensate for it by trimming the lineup.  I was genuinely surprised they played two regular car games today.

Speaking of lineups though, yay, Range Game sixth!

Stack the Deck was very well played.

Pretty good show overall, IMHO.

Today's show wasn't as bad as I thought it would be except for that idiotic entrance with the horse.

Today's lineup wasn't as bad as I thought it would be except for Money Game showing up first yet again!!! However, I can live with that since Double Prices actually got a week off!!! :-D

And I definitely agree with Frank: Range Game last= a :-D me

I think today was the quickest Money Game playing i've ever seen, i'd dare say it went by faster than an average playing of Double Prices. I don't think they were trying to zip through it, it seemed to me that Abe was just a quick player.

2 for the Price of 1 and Stack the Deck were played very well.

Y'know, Frank was surprised two regular car games was played today I was surprised we got both the SP and GP games today. I figured we wouldn't see the SP so yeah a nice surprise that's for sure.

-Lineup: Hey rob, no DP! :P Pretty good.
-Entrance: ...No plausible reason to do that. :/
-Money: Boy, just as expected. 7/10
-241: There we go. 9/10
-X: Ha, I called the top today. That purifier didn't look like 50. 8/10
-SD1: 5/5
-ME: I also thought that luggage would be more. The bar still looks wrong with -019. 8/10
-Stacky: An amazing playing!!! 11/10
-Rangey: Now less than 1/3 up? 8/10
-SD2: 4/5
-SC1: Wow...that was a bit confusing to follow. And all a bit undertoned by only the plasmas. 4/5
-SC2: What a combo - Mustang Convertible + Harley Davidson! 5/5
-Results: I'm surprised the premiere seats to all 5 of those concerts totaled out so low - I thought that was a strong bid there. Then the Davidson was on the high side... still, reasonable bids. 9/10
-Drew: Ignoring the horse, absolutely fine, managing to get to the front at the end. 9/10

PGs: 51/60
SDs: 9/10
SCs: 18/20
Drew: 9/10

Post by: Kev347 on April 03, 2009, 04:16:22 PM

 That entrance with the horse was one of the more idiotic entrances I've ever seen on the show. Willy said in chat that the horse, obviously frightened and a little thrown off, did what you might expect a frightened  horse to do backstage shortly after the incident and well, I hope it didn't stink up the place too badly. That being said, Drew seems to now be doing down to doing weird entrances about once a week (Remember the banana last week?) They do work better in moderation, and once a week is probably acceptable moderation.

 This show did not flow together very well. Granted, after the horse entrance and the not-very-good intro to the first IUFB I was hoping it wouldn't continue in that bad direction but having the entrance, the first IUFB and even the first PG prize (a new truck) be themed around the country music and then really not having another country music moment until IUFB6, but then loading the end of the show with them felt a little weird and discombobulated. Combine that with the super rush mode Frank mentioned and you have a show that definitely felt a little off today. That being said I disagree with Frank - I'd rather they rush through good games on days like today (and today's lineup was decent given the time constraints) than simply play quickies. I'm sure we'd have complained if they played quickies too - it's a lose lose situation for them. Also Adam hasn't really been timing lineups short all that much lately.

Speaking of lineups, we've had 9 SP games in the last 10 shows, without repeating - yay! Dice Game has also mysteriously disappeared from the last SIX WEEKS of lineups (budget concerns?). Check Game has disappeared for 2 months since the incident where the display couldn't show the 5 digit total.

Now, gameplay. What an incredible Stack the Deck win that was - first time this season for that game ! And now that I think about it it was a major stop-the-Fingers moment. If she hadn't chosen to get the last number free (and most people don't) she would have had a choice between 0 and 8 for the last number, a choice that practically would equate to a forced loss so many people are going to pick 0 there. Instead she merely had to decide whether the car was 20, 25 or 29k. Pretty easy decision there. Nicely done!

Overall, this show could have been worse, could have been better - I'll give it a pass. I'm hoping for some normalcy soon though - theme shows are nice but 3 days in a week with some sort of theme or guest is a little much. It's beginning to feel a little bit like the "Drew does whatever else while still having to play 6 pricing games" show. That being said, at least the themes and showcases are becoming more tolerably executed (first segment today aside - oy), the hosting is getting better, it's on the right track. Just let's try not to overdo the themes.

In defense of the "idiotic" entrance - it at least went with the theme.

Post by: Briguy on April 03, 2009, 04:55:58 PM

Y'know something - I'd say, folks, I kind of thought this show would be a good one ... and by golly, it was.

Yes, we did have the goofy horse entrance, but I agree with mrbrown - it kept with the theme, and what's more, it behaved itself.

In Stack the Deck, this might have been a good time for Shake & Bake coating ... for (what else), FRIED CHICKEN! Hey, all in keeping with the western theme with the grocery items (barbecue sauce, root beer, cornbread mix, canned chili and baked beans). What a meal that would make! As for the game itself, boy am I glad she chose the last digit after all ... I would have gone with the 2-3-4 digits, then picked "0" as the fifth digit ... and lost!

If there was one criticism, it would be that I didn't think there were enough country music artists on today. Sure, Heidi Newfield and Reba McEntire did well in their limited appearances, but I would have given a little bit more time to the other ACM nominees, such as Gary LeVox (lead singer of Rascal Flatts), Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood (e.g., have them model or introduce prizes) ... to give it a little more of a country music feel. Yes, I do think this would have been accomplished while keeping the games at the forefront. At least most of the prizes, IMO, had to do with country music and/or a western theme.

Yeah it fit the theme,but to me it just looked baddddd. That's definitely something they could have done without and I wish they had did without.

Yeah, but that still would have shaved time away from the games and in all actuality took attention away from the games. I mean, who would you pay more attention to the star or the game? I know what a lot of people's answer might be. It's good they didn't have that many stars on there otherwise attention would have been placed solely on them.

Secondly, they do that and we would have probably seen a lineup of Money Game, Coming or Going, Switch, Pick a Number, Side-by Side and Double Prices. I know that's a bit ridiculous but a short short lineup is what we would have gotten. Things worked out well enough with how they did things today.

Just watched the show since I had to work today. The show turned out very well. I was a little disappointed that Drew decided to walk the horse out on stage. I thought it might have been a little better if maybe he would have rode the horse out, but then again, I just can't imagine Drew on a horse.

I love the fact the the trip that Reba offered was a bonus for the showcase winner.

Excellent playing of Stack the Deck. She did everything right.

 I'm kinda of glad that the show has aired and out of the way. With most people worried that it was going to be "corny" show, we can all move on to talk about Bob's apperance.

(isn't it kinda cool though that we have had all of these themed shows)

Post by: joeyboy on April 03, 2009, 07:41:56 PM

Opening: Not sure what to think of with the horse.

Money Game: The game started out fantastically, then went downhill quickly.

2 for the Price of 1: Very nice win.

Secret “X”: I myself was thinking the purifier was $25 myself. I was wrong.

One Wrong Price: The luggage fooled me as well.

Stack the Deck: Excellent playing of this game.

Range Game: He let the range go a little bit high. Tough loss.

Showcases: Excellent showcases. It’s nice to see the prizes flowing together. I had a feeling that Hali was a bit over.

This show wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. The Reba segment was nice, as well as the little jam session going into the showcase round. The only question I have is since the winner of the showcase is getting the VIP passes to the ACA’s, what would have happened if we had a double overbid? (thankfully, we didn’t!)

One word for this show today: (http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u148/yabbaguy/Accelerator3-1.gif)

OB 1: This and the opening really put the acceleration on the show today.  You really can't spend that much time on OB descriptions.
Money Game: It's never 5 or 0. Sorry.
2fer: Dah... thought it was $949.
OB 3: I don't think that $420 was even deliberate. Not sure why there was a big stink of that.
One Wrong Price: I want that ab set. I went with the luggage as well. :(
Stack the Deck: If you play it as brilliant as that, it becomes that simple. Well played!
Range Game: Oh man... thought they were gonna put it way on the top of the scale again. I like it better when they don't show it out front.
Showcases: Bids: $21500/$43150 (I seriously have a chronic disorder for going OVER at present.)
That was cool to add a bonus in as well. And I bet they would've cut Reba's explanation of the showcase bonus if there was a D.O.B.

---

Pretty meh show. Again, with the opening and the extended music bumper before the showcases, you can count on that accelerator at max velocity, so that detracted from everything. Games themselves, didn't pay attention to as much somehow.

Perhaps they had planned to have Drew ride the horse...then the whole horse thing would have made sense.

However, maybe they disocovered that Drew wouldn't be able to ride the horse (for obvious reasons) so they decided to keep the horse and have him walk it out.

It would have been more sensible to cancel the whole bit...just walking the horse out seemed a little lame.

Post by: thewhammy_2000 on April 03, 2009, 11:13:51 PM

Wow. Before attending the taping, I just couldn't wait to get inside. Boy, I think the wait was worth it. And we get to see Drew after his little sick spell. Entering the studio, there were cameras all around the stage. Me thinks it's paparazzi or press cameramen for the ACMAs or whatnot.
We're seen in the first few seconds? Nice.

I honestly did not know in advance that Joe the horse was opening with Drew. Kinda felt like I was on the stage of Let's Make a Deal.

One Bid 1: I am so close to being a fan of Heidi Newfield, and I never even heard any of her music. I think they played "Five O'Clock World" during one of the breaks.

Money Game: Oh, I kept shouting 52 at first for the ol' FnB. Since it wasn't, I went with 87 (or maybe 75). You can tell I was into the game--I couldn't stay down.

One Bid 2: Delores, the only lady with a red hat. When I saw her in the Promenade, I was looking for the rest of the Red Hats. Nope, she was the only one.

2 For the Price of 1: I am still not good when it comes to video game packages. I'll just play the game like I normally would. In the words of Drew, classic game play.

One Bid 3: Jason, the guy next to me, ahead of me gets picked. He brought Stan's book at the gift shop, had Stan autograph it, tells Rich in the warm-up that he wants to be an announcer, ends up on stage with him for a few seconds, now becomes a contestant. I think there was some -nosing or -kissing going on. (Sorry, a little bitterness came back. You can see it in my face.) AND BIDS 420 and WINS?? I inhale very deeply.

Secret "X": Just like Plinko, the prizes were a little tricky to me; so I didn't volunteer. Hey, a shot of Jacob (http://www.geocities.com/thewhammy_2000/tpir4-3-09a.jpg). And a shot of me making the right choice (http://www.geocities.com/thewhammy_2000/tpir4-3-09b.jpg). From those two shots, win or lose, I feel totally better.

Showcase Showdown 1: The first time I actually see somebody win money on the Wheel. Now some of us notice sometimes that Drew may forget that the contestant has a Bonus Spin; well this time he was well aware of it.

One Wrong Price: With the frequency of games like this, I was expecting this to show on one of the tapings I attended. I couldn't recall what I said. But now I probably would not have picked the luggage.

One Bid 5: Man, Stan's been picking all around us...
Jacob and/or I must have said something good (http://www.geocities.com/thewhammy_2000/tpir4-3-09c.jpg) by the way I got up instantly after Drew said the ARP.

Stack the Deck: The only thing I did good was picking the $3.19 price. I knew it couldn't be the price of the Hot Pockets value pack. That must be a big can of chili because I only pay a dollar for a can of that brand. The second number was a total crapshoot for me. The whole audience and Delores went wild after that.

One Bid 6: Once again, a contestant gets picked with something related to spay/neuter. Maybe I'll do that next time, reminding myself to get my old copy of Stan's book and do some kissing/nosing.
NO. I'm just gonna be the ever-loving LFaT I have always been. I am having an awesome time as it is.
When I saw Larry Mitchell for the first time, I thought either that was Buddy Guy or Rick James. It definitely wouldn't be Rick James.
Did I do 1200 or 2100? I can't recall, but I do know I gave a hook gesture for Manuel's knocking-out-Joshua's bid. I must have been on a high by the way I let my arms out, probably because I think I said 1200 and that would've also been a winning bid. Did Jeff point at me?

Range Game: Wow! I get more face time. I move my thumbs up to the cadence of the Rangefinder (http://www.geocities.com/thewhammy_2000/tpir4-3-09d.jpg). My guess was around $8499. When it was at that range, I gave the signal to get ready to stop; you're good (http://www.geocities.com/thewhammy_2000/tpir4-3-09e.jpg). But it seems he went over. I was part of the crowd yelling, "STOP!" with all of our hands raised (http://www.geocities.com/thewhammy_2000/tpir4-3-09h.jpg). Drew was right: We had it.

Instead of a few seconds of some instrumental, we get a few moments of that good ol' jam session. Sweet!

Showcases: For a few days, I was telling my friends that I saw Taylor Swift on the show. I was so wrong; it was Heidi Newfield. This is where I kept thinking about Taylor Swift. I didn't know until today that we had a Showcase of four trips. Haven't seen that in a while. I kinda don't get a country music concert in Australia.
During the final break, Reba walked on stage while the crew was covering her with the red drapery. Plenty of the people in the audience knew it was her. As a result, they reacted as loud as they did if Bob Barker was on stage doing a regular episode. She was not exposed until Drew introduced her. Nice fly away effect away from Jacob.
Once again, a close up of us (me coughing of joy) (http://www.geocities.com/thewhammy_2000/tpir4-3-09g.jpg). Believe me, before, during, and after Reba's appearance, Hali and Valerie could NOT keep their eyes dry, especially Hali. That was a terrible heartbreak for Hali. I can understand her kneeling on the floor. Yes we have another wild bunch of supporters. After taping, a few stayed around for one reason: Reba.

I can honestly say that this was the second best episode I have ever attended. Second only to Bob Barker's ninth-to-last episode. I had a very surreal and awesome time. I don't even care if I was picked as a contestant or not. Maybe Stan felt I would have a great time even if I don't get picked. I sure hope so. I would love to do it all over again. Even I couldn't stop crying inside.

Excellent times.

Side note: After reading the posts as to how fast the game went, I think it's because they were really behind schedule. We had to wait over a half hour to get into the studio and to get everything set. I also think they were trying to accommodate time for the 4pm taping. I don't really know; I'm taking a guess on that. Didn't seem fast to me, though.

Drew entering with a horse was...strange.  It fit with the theme of the episode, at least, but it was still weird.

Having Reba present the extra Showcase prize during the last segment was kind of neat.  I do wonder, though, if they planned for what to do in case there was a tie.

Quote from: X54321 on April 03, 2009, 03:09:21 PM

Well today Drew and Rachel were horsing around w/ an actual horse during the entrance (pun not intended)

I do wonder, though, if they planned for what to do in case there was a tie.

I'm relatively sure there were no contingency plans - but it probably could have been easily duplicated...

Well, for all the trepidation concerning this episode, I thought it was very well done. You did not have to be a country music fan to enjoy it. (I'm not)  I liked the way they incorporated the country artist effectively, and did not overdo.  The jam session was awesome.  Seems the "theme shows" are coming off fairly well overall.  At least  IMO.  The models look great in their country outfits and loved they way the tipped their hats at times.  As for Drew and the horse, I heard that that he was originally supposed to ride it out on the intro, but OSHA nixed it as "too unsafe".  (so that makes much more sense).  Maybe they should have just not used it at all, once they found that out. I guess they figured, "we have it,.. lets use it.".  Overall I thought it was a great show!

For those of you wondering about my joke, the more I think about it it wasn't really a pun, it was an idiom but that's enough horsing around with the western show

Unsafe for who?  Drew or the poor horse?

If that's actually a serious question, if it was OSHA making the determination, it'd be unsafe for Drew.

Otherwise... <insert rimshot>

I think in general it would be unsafe on a stage like that, if Drew had tried to ride him onstage, I could see it ending badly with a freaked out horse and all.

Drew was feeling a little hoarse before the show, but somebody must have misunderstood him!

Okay, that was pretty bad!  My first thought was that Drew riding the horse would be taller than the top of the door.  Subsequently, as the horse came through, Drew would smack his forehead on the frame and get knocked off onto the floor.  Actually, unlike many of his entrances, that might be pretty funny!!

In all fairness, Drew hasn't made a stupid entrance in about a month.

Opening: Could've done without the horse (I know it fits the theme).

Money: I would've guessed the price on first two choices. Too bad.

2 for 1: 940 for the video game system didn't cross my mind.  :oops: Good win.

Secret: Too bad.

OWP: The bar set was my guess, too. Poor Hali didn't go with my instincts unfortunately.

Stack: Delores played it a way that hasn't been played in a while. Excellent win.  :-)

Range: I actually would've stopped between $8350-$8500 and nailed it. Too bad for joshua.

Showcases: The 2nd showcase looked like the won to have and good for Valerie for taking it home.

A 2.75-star show.

Why? That was the best part of the show other than everyone but Drew in Cowperson outfits.
Or could you've done w/o the horse/hoarse jokes that Ton80 and I made?

Opening:  Oh brother... an all-country music episode.  Somebody wake me when they do the all-hip-hop episode.

Money:  Is this now the third consecutive playing where the correct numbers have been side by side on the board?  It seems as though Kathy has been really obsessed with the ol' front-and-back trick this season.

241:  I'm actually surprised this game was won today.  I thought the video games were either $640 or $649.

One-Bid #3:  Oh dear God... the $420 bid actually won.  This may not be the first time this has happened, though.  There may have been some $420 bids back in the 1970s and 1980s that have won, but this may be the first where 420 has since become well-known as a weed reference.

Stacky:  Ladies and gentlemen, that is how you play this game!

One-Bid #6:  Larry Mitchell looks like Lil' Wayne... just without the 200 tattoos.

Showcases/end:  Well, this explains why the rest of the show felt so short and sped up.  Long showcases, plus the bonus trip from the queen of country music herself, Reba.

My showcase bids:
C&W-style Around the World--$18,507
Harley/Mustang--$40,107 :wsd:
