Here we go again with the 24th installment of my long-running HYO series!
Before we start, I want to remind you that I'm doing something new for this show. As a result, there will be no TPG, meaning that all you have to do is to tell me you're in. Once the show starts, I will give you a hint as to what you should expect in the course of the episode. However, if you want to take a guess at what it is, you're more than welcome to.
Otherwise, the 48-hour time limit is still in effect for bidding, guessing, and other activities going on. And I will need at least nine players to take part.
So who's going to come on down and join me on this special episode?
-
I'm in to start!
-
I'm in as well
-
I'm in!
-
I'm definitely in as well!
-
Sign me up 8-)
-
I'm ready to come on down! :-D
-
I'd like to COME ON DOWN!
-
GET ME ON DOWN TEDDY! Sorry. Lol. :-D
-
I'm hoping to get the show started by tomorrow or Saturday, so there's still plenty of time for you to sign up.
-
Just a heads up in advance. If I am called to "COME ON DOWN!" please be advised I am in middle of moving to new place and may not respond right away. Also I am having surgery on August 12th to have tonsils removed and my nose fixed as I have a deviated septum that needs corrected.
-
I'd love to come on down.
-
Sign me up.
-
I'm in
-
Count me in
-
And now it's time to start the show...

GEORGE: Good morning, Teddy! Nice of you to tune in, America! Hi Mom!
We have a special episode planned for today, because we're going to do something that hasn't occurred in 43 years! We will find out what it is later on in the show, but first, let's see the first prize up for bids on The Price is Right!

Now, earlier in the show we mentioned that we were going to do something special, and now, Cool Steve, you're about to be a part of that something special. But first, George is going to tell us what you could win.
(2003 Plinko harp stinger)
GEORGE: Cool Steve, you now have a chance to win up to $25,000... (Race Game Curtain rises to reveal new game) ...playing Pot of Gold!
That's right, Cool Steve, you are going to play our brand-new game, Pot of Gold! Now here's how the game works: You have four pairs of grocery products to contend with. We will show you a price, and then you have to match that price to the correct grocery product in the pair. And for each product you get correct, you will earn a pick from these ten pots. Here's the breakdown: There's a pot with the $25,000, one that has $10,000, two that have $5,000, two that have $1,000, and four that have $500. So now that we have that out of the way, we can play the game. George, tell us about the first pair.

(http://groovy-mom.com/blawg/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/eb.jpg)
(2003 SP/GP Cue)
GEORGE: First, we have a medium jar of Francesco Rinaldi pasta sauce, and a carton containing a dozen Eggland's Best eggs.
Now, here's the price that you must match to earn a pick from the ten pots...
$1.99
...which is $1.99. Does that go with the pasta sauce or the eggs?
-
I'm going with the pasta sauce
-
Is $1.99 the price of the pasta sauce? Light it up!
$1.99
DING!
(applause)
Yes, it is! So now you're guaranteed at least one pick from the pots later on. Now, I turn your attention to the next two products, and what are they, George?

(Cue 40)
GEORGE: Next up is a medium bottle of V8 Splash fruit juice, and medium box of Ritz crackers.
$4.19
Which one of those is $4.19? The fruit juice or the crackers?
-
The Crackers
-
You say the crackers are $4.19, and you are...
$4.19
DING!
...right again! You now have two picks, and we move on to the next two products. George?

GEORGE: This time, we have a large DiGiorno pizza, and a medium tub of Breyers ice cream.
$5.99
Is it the pizza or the ice cream that is $5.99?
-
i'm going for the pizza teddy

First off, let me say congratulations to Adam for being the new moderator of the HYO section! Hopefully, this will mean that my series and others will be allowed to continue for Season 44 and beyond. If I had known that Jordanar18 would not be active sooner, I would've offered to take over, but maybe next time I will be Adam's successor. And I wish Jordanar18 all the best. With that being said...
You say that the pizza is $5.99, and...
$5.99
DING!
...right you are! So you get three picks, and we move on to the final pair. George, what are they?

GEORGE: Finally, we have a four-pack of delicious Greek yogurt, and a medium can of Pringles potato chips.
$2.79
And either the yogurt or the potato chips are $2.79; which one is it?
-
the potato chips
-
Are the potato chips $2.79?
$2.79
DING!
Yes, they are, and you get four picks from the ten pots. Now pick four numbers from 1 to 10, and good luck to you!
-
1,4,5,and 9
-
Very well then, your picks have been made. Now let's go to the first pot you selected, 1. And in there we find...
$500
DING!
...$500. Now that's the worst you can do in this game, so I assume you want to give that up and look into the next pot?
-
yep let's move on to the next pot
-
And move on we must. Now in the next pot you selected, we shall find that you just got...
$1000
DING-DING-DING-DING!
...$1,000! That is twice what you had before, but the same options apply here. Keep the $1,000, or give it up and look into the next pot?
-
MRRRRRRRRP!
Since there's no response from Cool Steve, he's now charged his first strike. The new 48-hour period starts now.
-
Steve, if I was you I'd keep going and bail out with the next one if it is $5,000 or more.
-
let's see the next pot please
-
All righty, let's move on to No. 5. And there we will discover that you have won...wow, you really outdid yourself this time. You know there's a lot of money inside there, a whole lot more. Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that it's not $25,000. The good news, though, is that you got $10,000!
$10,000
CLANG-CLANG-CLANG-CLANG-CLANG-CLANG-CLANG-CLANG!
(cheers and applause)
That's the second-largest amount you've found there, and I assume you want to stop right now?
-
yes sir i will quit with the $10,000
-
(Maybe he also wants to know if you would like to see the last one anyway?)
-
(TPIR Theme 2007)
Well congratulations, you now have $10,000 in your pocket, and you will have an opportunity to win even more at the Big Wheel later on in the show. Just for fun, I will show the remaining amounts.

Daily continental breakfast is included.
Thank you, Amber! (Turntable spins to reveal another new game) Now CheckGameMeBob, you will be the first contestant to play our newest game, called Passcode! Here's how it works: In order to win the trip, you must select one of two possible numbers for each digit in the price of the trip.
As you can see, the first number will be either 9 or 7; the second number is 2 or 1; the third number is 9 or 5; and the last number is 8 or 4. If you punch in the correct passcode, you will win that trip to Boston! Now step over there and punch it in!

Welcome back to this special edition of The Price is Right! So far, we've played two new games; I wonder if this is going to be a trend today? Anyway George, we need a new player down in Contestant's Row. Who will it be?

Who's next to bid here? Me or Bandon23?

Who's next to bid here? Me or Bandon23?
I screwed up the bidding order the first time around, so according to how it should be set up, you're next.
-
$1! :-D
-
MRRRRRRRRP!
Bandon23 has missed the deadline to bid, so I'll charge him one strike and a default bid of $99999. And the fact that I screwed up the bidding order didn't help matters, either.
SuperSweeper, wrap it up!

(Amber models them between Doors #2 and #3) (Sam) (applause) Furnish your kitchen with these great Kenmore appliances, which include an all-electric range, side-by-side refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher, all finished in fine stainless steel. But you know what, JustBecause? I just realized that we never had a chance to play for one of these prizes, and that would be a new car! (Manuela models it in Door #3) (MDS Car Cue) (cheers and applause)

0123456789
Here's how the game works: You will fill in the blanks with these numbers from 0 to 9. None of the numbers repeat, and you will have one left over after you're done. The objective is to get at least one price correct, and you can take as many turns as you need to get it done, as long as you have at least one number right. That's the most important part of the game, you need to have at least one number right in order to continue. Now you can win one of the prizes, you can win both, and you can win neither. And to start you off, I will give you the first number in the price of the car, which is...

This time, you say that the car is $18,329, and the appliances are $7456. And are you right?

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! It's time for the first Showcase Showdown, where we're going to see which one of these three contestants will be in the Showcase round at the end of the show.
SPINNING ORDER:
JustBecause ($1,349)
CheckGameMeBob ($4,750)
Cool Steve ($13,350)
First things first: We need from each of you two numbers from 1 to 20, and your minimum stopping score. Good luck to all three of you!
-
4 and 16 for my numbers. Stop on $0.70 or above.
-
5 and 13 stop on $0.80 or higher
-
I'll select 9 and 19, stop at .70 cents or higher.
-
And the spinning will start with JustBecause.
(wheel beeps)
Contestant nearest to one dollar without going over will be in the Showcase at the end of the show. Let's see what the first spin of the first Showcase Showdown is going to be worth. Hey, how about 70 cents?
70
And he says that's it.
.70
DING!
Now the task of beating 70 cents goes to CheckGameMeBob.
(wheel beeps)
Will he do it with one spin? Find out as the wheel is spinning. And it's going to slow down and come to a complete stop on...
65
...65 cents, spin it again.
(wheel beeps)
If you get 35, you will have the dollar and a Bonus Spin. Here it comes, and there it goes, and this looks like trouble, which it is.
55
MRRRRRRRRP!
Thanks for playing, CheckGameMeBob, and hopefully we'll see you again. Now it's Cool Steve's turn to spin.
(wheel beeps)
He's hoping to beat 70 cents to get into the Showcase. 90...a dollar...stop on 80...oh, just a little too fast for that.
35
You got 35 cents, so spin it again.
(wheel beeps)
35 to 65 will keep you around. 35 to tie, 40 to 65 for the win. And I believe that you're going to be the winner with 45 cents.

.80
(Dig We Must 2007)
Cool Steve is going to the Showcase with 80 cents! If you'd like tickets to the show, just go to CBS.com (http://www.cbs.com) for all the details. That's CBS.com.

Just a quick reminder: I will be on vacation tomorrow for the Labor Day weekend, so I will extend the deadline to 72 hours so that Bandon23 will have plenty of time to bid. I should be back by Tuesday morning to check back in on the show's progress. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your holiday!
-
MRRRRRRRRP!
Even with all that extra time, Bandon23 has not made a bid, and so I shall charge him a second strike and a default bid of $99999. Now we have $1350 from Priceboi1983...
1350
DING!
...$999 from 123123123...

(cheers and applause)
This time, we're going straight to the Big Doors for the next pricing game, which I'll bet is going to be new. Now George, could you tell Priceboi1983 what he can win?

(http://www.thecountrysquire.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/stemware.jpg)
GEORGE: Well, they're a desktop, a hammock and some stemware! (Amber and Manuela model them) (Fortune Hunter cue) (applause) First, this Dell desktop has a crystal-clear HD monitor, as well as touch-screen capabilities, a superfast 64GB processor, stereo speakers, and a wireless mouse. Second, kick your feet up and rock your worries and cares away in this stylish, durable weatherproof hammock from hennessyhammock.com. Includes a canopy and a storage area for your backpack. And finally, drink to your heart's content with this 12-piece stemware set, which is dishwasher-safe and made of shatterproof glass. Back to you, Priceboi1983 and Teddy!
Now Priceboi1983, this game is called Marked Up. We have three prices, as you can see, but none of them are the right prices for those prizes. Two of them are marked below the actual retail price, and one is marked above it. What we need you to do is tell us which one is the marked-up price. Is it the desktop at $1000?
DESKTOP
$1000
Is it the hammock at $1798?
HAMMOCK
$1798
Or is it the stemware at $950?
STEMWARE
$950
-
My gut says the Hammock is marked up.
-
Very well then, we'll check the right price of the hammock, and if it's less than $1798, you are a winner. Now what's the price of the hammock?
HAMMOCK
$1449
DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING!
(Walking 2007)
(cheers and applause)
It's $1449, and you win all three prizes! Let's see the other two prices, if you will.
DESKTOP
$2475
STEMWARE
$1250
We now have two wins in a row. Can we close out this special show with three wins in a row? Find out after you see this.
-
Well ladies and gentlemen, this is it, the final chance for somebody to come on down! George, who will it be?
GEORGE: It's going to be AthleticsFan, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
(Walking 2007)
(cheers and applause)
Nice to see you again, AthleticsFan! Now, as the final contestant of the day, you will get one chance to bid; and to everyone else, it's your final chance to get up on stage. This is the prize.
(http://www.suespray.com/images/Canoe-RGB.jpg)
GEORGE: It's a lovely canoe! (Manuela models it) (Cue 19) (applause) This sturdy wooden canoe can be rowed solo or with two people. It has a sturdy wooden frame made of fine polished oak and includes two oars.
BIDDING ORDER: AthleticsFan, 123123123, wpghi5, Bandon23
The bidding starts with AthleticsFan!
-
If Bandon23 doesn't make his deadline again I'll gladly sub in for him. :-D
-
If Bandon23 doesn't make his deadline again I'll gladly sub in for him. :-D
I'll let you bid for him if and when Bandon23 gets his third strike and is eliminated from the game. So the alternate bidding order will be AthleticsFan, 123123123, wpghi5, Coupon Boy.
-
Looks like I won't be able to play, so I'm definitely out of this game.
-
Hey, you might still have a chance depending on how long everyone else takes.
-
$1250
-
MRRRRRRRRP!
Since I haven't heard from 123123123, he will get a meaningless strike and a default bid of $99999. wpghi5, it's your turn to bid now.
-
$1375.
-
(I'm hoping Bandon23 makes it, but if not, I guess Hag is the alternate now?)
-
Actually, it was Coupon Boy who volunteered to bid in Bandon23's place, so I'll alert him when the 48-hour timeframe has passed without a bid.
-
It looks like Coupon Boy has been banned, so he might not be able to bid. :oldlol:
-
Huh... I wonder what caused Coupon Boy to have the ban hammer smashed on his account.
-
Well, in that case, Hag may submit a bid if Bandon23 does not.
-
MRRRRRRRRP!/Losing Horns
And Bandon23 is now officially out of the show, so we will need a new player. George, who is it?
GEORGE: Hag, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
(Walking 2007)
(cheers and applause)
Welcome to Contestant's Row, Hag! Now you will have 48 hours to place a bid, and for the recap, the previous three bids were $1250, $99999 and $1375.
-
I'll say $1600.
-
This time, we have $1250 from AthleticsFan...
1250
DING!
...$99999 from 123123123...
99999
DING!
...$1375 from wpghi5...

Here we go! Actual retail price is: $2,315. And the winner is Hag!
DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING!
(Walking 2007)
(cheers and applause)
And we're going to play this final pricing game behind the Giant Price Tag. In a moment, we shall find out if it's a new game, but first, George, what does Hag have a chance to win now?
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XmPZfQzDi_4/UxTCOGmogII/AAAAAAAQRjo/rdKwdgPXPqk/s1600/Jeep-Renegade-2015-2.jpg)
GEORGE: It's a new Jeep! (Amber models it) (Passing Lane) (cheers and applause) It's the 2015 Jeep Renegade Sport FWD, featuring a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual transmission, plus AM/FM/CD stereo with SiriusXM Satellite Radio, cargo net and engine block heater. This is the Jeep Renegade!
And the game you're going to play, Hag, is called Shutdown!
$17,495
$18,270
$19,360
$20,980
$21,475
$22,395
There are six prices, but only one is the right price of that Jeep. I will now give you a chance to earn up to four picks and eliminate as many as four prices, so you'll have a 50/50 shot of winning the Jeep! With that being said, let's see the first small prize, George.
(http://s10.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/ECC82F87.jpg)
(SP version of The Cats)
GEORGE: You'll feel like a pro with this Wilson football, which is officially licensed by the National Football League.
To earn a pick, you must tell me which of these two prices is correct.
$19 $35
FOOTBALL
Is it $19 or 35?
-
I'll go with $19.
-
You say it's $19, and you are...
$19 $35
$35
FOOTBALL
BUZZ!
(audience groans)
...wrong, so you won't eliminate any prices on that. Let's try with this next small prize, George.

GEORGE: Cut, trim and shave unwanted facial hair in a snap with this electric razor.
$65 $94
RAZOR
Now is that razor $65 or $94?
-
I'll go low again and say $65.
-
$65 you say, and are you right this time?
$65 $94
$65
RAZOR
DING!
Yes, you are! (applause) So at random, we'll get rid of one of the wrong prices. What is it?
$17,495
$18,270
$19,360
$20,980
$21,475
$22,395
ZAP!
We now know that it is not $21,475, and we shut that down.
$17,495
$18,270
$19,360
$20,980
$22,395
DING!
Let's try to eliminate another wrong price with the next small prize. George?
(http://www.thegreenhead.com/imgs/digital-sand-timer-4.jpg)
(sax variant of The Cats)
GEORGE: Count down the hours, minutes and seconds using this digital timer that's shaped like a traditional hourglass.
$37 $58
TIMER
Is that timer $37 or $58?
-
This time I'll say $58.
-
You're going with $58...
$37 $58
$37
TIMER
BUZZ!
...and you're wrong again. So far, you've eliminated only one wrong price. Let's try to make it two with this last prize. What is it, George?
(http://www.eujuicers.com/upload/images-cache/4370/640.jpg)
(Cue 62)
GEORGE: Create hundreds of your favorite drinks with this easy-to-use juicer.
$26 $59
JUICER
Are you going with $26 or $59?
-
I'll say $59.
-
Is the juicer $59?
$26 $59
$59
JUICER
DING!
Yes, it is, and now we'll shut down another wrong price. Which one is it?
$17,495
$18,270
$19,360
$20,980
$22,395
ZAP!
The Jeep is not $20,980, so we get rid of that.
$17,495
$18,270
$19,360
$22,395
DING!
And now you have a 1-in-4 chance of winning. Not exactly the best odds, but at least we got rid of two wrong prices. For the win, is the price of that Jeep $17,495, $18,270, $19,360 or $22,395?
-
I will choose $19,360.
-
Very well then, you choose $19,360 as the price of the Jeep.
$17,495
$18,270
$19,360
$22,395
DING!
And if that's the right price, you will be driving it home. So the question is, are you a winner with that choice?

(cheers and applause)
Congratulations, that's your Jeep over there! We'll see you at the Wheel. Well, I told you at the start of the show that we would make some history, and we did by playing six new games in a row. Showcase Showdown #2 is coming up after these messages.
-
Here we go again with the second Showcase Showdown! In a moment we shall see which one of these three players will move on to the Showcase round at the end of the show.
SPINNING ORDER:
SuperSweeper ($6,755)
Priceboi1983 ($7,974)
Hag ($21,799)
You know what to do now: I need three numbers from 1 to 20 (two regular, one Bonus Spin/Spin-Off), plus your minimum stopping score. Good luck to all three of you!
-
1 and 2 for regular spin, and 3 for bonus spin. I'll stop on 70 and above.
-
I'll pick 11 for 1st spin
18 for second spin.
I will stay on .75 or higher.
If a tie/spin off I pick 7
-
8 and 15 for the regular spin, 4 for the bonus spin and stop on 80 cents.
-
SuperSweeper, step over there and spin that Wheel!
(wheel beeps)
And there goes the first spin of the second Showcase Showdown. Let's see where it stops on...could it be 90 cents? Just one more...OH!!!
25
(audience groans)
Right between the two big numbers, you just got to hate that. Needless to say, I think you will spin again.
(wheel beeps)
If you can get 75, you will have a dollar, but I don't think you'll get that. Let's hope for something good, but not 90, and definitely not a dollar...
5
Well, you're still in the game with 30 cents.
.30
DING!
And now it's Priceboi1983's turn to spin.
(wheel beeps)
All you need to do is beat 30 cents in order to become the leader. And will it be a dollar? STOP ON IT...OH!!!
15
(audience groans)
There are lots of close calls in this Showcase Showdown, and this time, you must spin again.
(wheel beeps)
Now we're looking for 20 to 85. That's a pretty wide range, though 15 will also keep you around. And are you kidding me? Another 15 cents!
15
So you're tied with SuperSweeper for the time being, and Hag will try to beat you both.
(wheel beeps)
If Hag doesn't beat 30 cents, there will be a spinoff. But I don't think it's going to happen, because Hag is the winner with 80 cents.
80
.80
(Dig We Must 2007)
And as a result, Hag will be moving on to the Showcase round at the end of the show, which will begin on the other side of this break. Stay right there; you don't want to miss it!
-
After all those new pricing games, we've made it to the Showcase round with Hag as the Top Winner and Cool Steve as the Runner Up! Now guys, pay attention to the first Showcase, because it could go to either one of you. Here it is.
(Showcase '83)
GEORGE: This Showcase features prizes revealed as we look at the life of a music lover. For instance, Amber is such a big music fan that whenever she goes to parties, she pumps up the jams by playing them on her DJ equipment! (applause)
(http://xvdjs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wrong3.jpg)
Have fun with your favorite tunes using this DJ equipment. Includes two turntables, a sound monitor, spotlights, Beats headphones by Dr. Dre and stereo speakers with subwoofers. Next, Rachel loves to have something with contemporary styling and a classic sound, and she has both with her new electric piano! (applause)
(http://cdn.musik-amrein.com/product_images/popup_images/roland-rp-301-sb-digital-piano_5002172_1.jpg)
This Roland digital piano has a full 88-key keyboard, plus 100 different rhythms and instrument sounds for endless possibilities. Bench and AC adapter included. And finally, there's Manuela, who loves to drive her friends down the road while they sing along to the tunes that come from the sound system in this new car! (Car Cue '83) (cheers and applause)
(http://www.carspoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Scion-XB-Redesign.jpg)
It's the 2015 Scion xB, featuring a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, CVT automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, AM/FM/CD stereo with MP3 jack and SiriusXM Satellite Radio, cargo net and engine block heater. So it's DJ equipment, an electric piano and a new car. You will be a very happy music fan if you win this Showcase, but only if the price is right!
Now Hag, I need to know from you: Are you going to bid on this Showcase, or pass it to Cool Steve?
-
I will pass that to Cool Steve.
-
i'm going to bid $29,550
-
So Hag passes to Cool Steve, who bids $29,550.
$29,550
COOL STEVE
DING!
Very well then, Hag, here is your Showcase!
(Showcase 2007)
GEORGE: Hag, your Showcase contains prizes revealed as we take you on an adventure in barbecue. And it starts with this new barbecue grill! (Manuela models it) (applause)
(http://www.promo-wholesale.com/Upfiles/Prod_q/Weber-Summit-S-650-Stainless-Steel-Gas-Grill_20090719439.jpg)
Prepare hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, kebabs and more with this stainless steel gas grill. Then we're sending you to a place that is well-known for its barbecue, which is fantastic Dallas! (Amber models it on plasma screen behind audience) (cheers and applause)
(http://www.lowfares.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Dallas.jpg)
You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Dallas, Texas, for a six-night stay at the Radisson in downtown Dallas. Conveniently located near all the shops, museums and other major attractions, and offers a spectacular view of the Dallas skyline. Daily continental breakfast is included. Finally, we're giving you a set of wheels that will keep you in focus with your search for the perfect barbecue--specifically, this brand-new Ford Focus! (Rachel models it) (Grandeur) (cheers and applause)
(http://www.autos.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2015_ford_focus_sedan_jb_10.jpg)
It's the 2015 Ford Focus SE sedan, featuring a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with five-speed manual transmission, AM/FM/CD stereo with SiriusXM Satellite Radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel, backup camera, cargo net and engine block heater. So it's a barbecue grill, a trip to Dallas and a new car. This Showcase will be worth lots of tasty treats and plenty of smiles too, but only if the price is right!
And there it is, Hag, so what is your bid on that?
-
I'll go with $24,300.
-
And your bid is $24,300.
$24,300
HAG

All six games were created by yours truly, and I welcome any and all feedback to them. Which ones were your favorite, and which ones need to be fine-tuned?
The zapping sound used to eliminate the wrong prices in Shutdown was originally used on the Tom Bergeron version of Hollywood Squares. It can be heard here (http://www.qwizx.com/gssfx/usa/h2-removekey.wav).
This is the final show of the Jordanar18 era. I, and all my fellow HYO hosts, would like to thank him for his wonderful time as moderator of the section, and wish the new moderator, Roadgeek Adam, the best of luck as he takes over. We need to make the Play Along section as successful as ever, so be sure to send your scripts to Adam for his approval; I'm sure he'll appreciate this.
Up next: Episode 25, my first new show in the Roadgeek Adam era. The floor is now open for your comments.
-
Teddy: A thought on Passcode.
I think that this game needs a second chance sort of like Line em Up, where after the first try, you're told how many numbers are right, and if you have any wrong, you won't know which are wrong. Just a suggestion.
-
Teddy, much respect for another great HYO game. Here are my thoughts on each of your new pricing games.
- Pot of Gold: Seems like a more simplistic form of Punch-a-Bunch, but I like the re-purposed grocery mini-game from Stack the Deck (if only because I dislike Stack the Deck).
- Passcode: At a 1 in 16 chance, I feel this game is too difficult. I'm pretty sure this is nearly equivalent to Double Digits, which was the game that eventually became Temptation. For comparison: This game has the same odds of Bonkers if Bonkers had exactly one guess. Perhaps the contestant should receive a second chance after being informed how many digits are correct.
- Fill in the Blank: Name stealer! :P This is a fun fusion between Any Number and Cover Up; I will figure out the statistics on this game later.
- This or That: A clone of Switch, but isn't every game a clone of Switch?
- Marked Up: Buy or Sell meets One Wrong Price. An excellent way to revive an excellent game.
- Shutdown: Reminds me of a reverse Five Price Tags, and I like that a contestant can't wipe out. I find it odd that you mentioned a contestant can earn up to four picks and did not award any more than one pick. Was this an error?
Now onto future matters. Is there a line for the next HYO game(s)? I would certainly hate to see HYO die so inelegantly.
-
Now onto future matters. Is there a line for the next HYO game(s)? I would certainly hate to see HYO die so inelegantly.
I can safely assume there is no one in line, as there can be a max of two shows going at once. It does surprise me just how long of a drought in shows we've had, but I certainly wouldn't consider this section dead by any stretch. In fact, I may even try to put together a show soon, if just to re-stir up interest in HYO.

I messaged Jordanar18 about getting in line myself for the same reason. I would love to see this section flourish in the way it did five or so years ago.

Yeah, he's no longer the purveyor of this section as of a couple of months ago. Roadgeek Adam is who you'll want to message. He's the new HYO mod.

Noted and done! The next time this game is played, I will modify it to include a second chance if the player doesn't get it right on the first try. After all, there have been real PGs with their rules being modified on the fly: i.e. the winning ranges on Bullseye, Check Game, Check-Out and Grocery Game, the first number given for free in most car games (with the exception of Money Game, whose free number is the middle one), the punching method in Punch-a-Bunch, etc.
Thanks for that wonderful suggestion!
