That wipeout on Plinko was one of the most screwed-up things I have seen in some time!
Title: Re: TPiR Recap - 6/10/2011
Post by: Kev347 on June 10, 2011, 10:56:48 PM
Well, our 2nd Plinko $0 in the past 2 seasons, and it's interesting how this came about. They've been doing much better with the Plinko setups overall the past 2 seasons, but today I guess because of end of season budget mode, they reverted back to throwing a couple really hard ones in there (seriously, a $70 vegetable chopper?) and today showed that's what happens. You really need Plinko to have at least 4 chips 95% of the time, because when people have 1 or 2, $0s can happen and they look bad. This of course made it all the more hilarious that another DSW they couldn't afford (by the same woman who pulled a Dobstopper in L7, no less) later in the show.

You know there's no game that makes it more apparent that most of our contestants have never seen the show before than Clock Game. We've had our pitiful playings this season, but the last two playings have been examples of people who clearly hadn't seen it before, took a few seconds to catch on but then figured it out. Unfortunately, this game doesn't offer THAT much margin of error for that, so one of them barely got the win and today one didn't.

Despite the Plinko mishap, this was still a solid show - always nice to see a big winner. Was a great lineup too - it seems Adam is trying to get one last playing in for most of the rare games in the last month, which is appreciated. And deserved clangs and whoops at the end of the episode for a great contestant is always a nice capper.

Timings:
Clock Game (4.5) - 4:48
Lucky $even (4.5) - 4:18
Squeeze Play (3.5) - 2:39
Shopping Spree (4.5)- 3:46
Plinko (5.5) - 4:45
Cover Up (5)- 4:44
Total (27.5): 25:00

-Plinko is what can happen with a subpar contestant when you set it up hard. Learn how NOT to let this happen, please.
-Lineup wasn't very justified without a GP.
-Drew has hit both ends of the spectrum on DSW reveals.

Lineup:
Clock Game -  Partial (2nd prize was at -97 at the buzzer, price was -98)
Lucky 7 - W ($1 left)
Squeeze Play - W
Shopping Spree - W
Plinko - EPIC FAIL (1 chip, $0)
Cover Up - L

Showcase: :dsw: for the top winner, $81,007 total.

I hate to be that guy when it comes to wanting tech wins, but I think that going by straight interpretation of the rules Clock Game might have had a case. There were a couple of times when they probably should have stopped the clock (especially when Drew said "Lower" on $750 for the $818 prize).

Lucky 7 was somewhat evil, but well played.

Plinko: Uh... yeah, no comment.

-Clock Game was alright and painful. Fernando was unfortunately very nervous and that led him to his downfall.
-What a close Lucky $even! Great playing, it is always good to see this game won.
-I kind of felt that Squeeze Play was easy (even though this game is rarely ever easy). Glad it was won.
-Shopping Spree was tough. The last pick between the sofa and refrigerator could have gone either way. Glad it went the right way.
-Plinko was.......something. Three of those SPs weren't meant to be won. A Plinko wipeout really brings the show down.
-Cover Up was tough. I will say however that 8 would've been my LAST choice on that 4th number. AUDIENCE FAIL on that one.

The showcases were nice. A :dsw: is always good to see and it definitely brought the show back up. Has this been the best DSW season for Drew? It's been great.

About that reveal......Drew, please, just read the ARP. That was the WORST reveal I think he has ever given. He really spoiled the result in my opinion.

I agree with you, except that he needs to actually give the rules to the showcase once in a while, when time permits.  Just saying "pay attention to the showcases, could go to either one of you", doesn't give any idea to the casual viewer as to what the rules for showcase are.  Just giving the rules properly once every week would suffice.

Post by: JayC on June 10, 2011, 11:18:17 PM
I wouldn't say it spoiled the result completely.  Infact, I was assuming that buildup was going to mean that the contestant just barely missed getting the DSW, like with a difference of $251 or something really close.

Unfortunately, this game doesn't offer THAT much margin of error for that, so one of them barely got the win and today one didn't.
Clock Game really separates the viewers from the non-viewers. If you watch the show and keep your cool, it's virtually impossible to lose. But we've seen players who are all over the place. I think Drew gets flustered by the bizarre play. Today we saw another player who started with small hops in price ($100), who then took a big leap right as he was approaching the right price. It's unfortunate and shows he wasn't think. When you have very little data early on, that's when you want to make big leaps to zero in on the price. BTW, did anyone else notice that Drew seemed to have something in his mouth during Clock Game - like candy or a loose dental appliance.

That was a satisfying DSW. She was a real player. Liked Manuela's Showcase outfit.  :-D

Imagine the joy of finding out you'll be playing Plinko, followed, just a few minutes later, by the agony of coming up with $0. And we heard an effect of miking the models. Manuela stole a line from Drew by telling the contestant he'd still get to spin the wheel.

Maybe I'm not attentive enough, but I don't recall the models getting out of the car after a Lucky 7 win in the past. This is the second straight they've stepped out after a win.

I really wish someone would intentionally miss the second digit on Cover Up.

Post by: SteveGavazzi on June 11, 2011, 12:05:49 AM
This otherwise alright show was marred at the end by Drew's horrible DSW reveal.  The rules of the Showcase do need to be explained from time to time (or ever, really), but in the middle of revealing the prices isn't the right time!

Plinko was all kinds of messed up.  It wasn't the show's fault, either -- the contestant was supposed to have at least three chips, and maybe four.  The way it played out was just heartbreaking.

Lucky $even, on the other hand, was pure awesomeness.  What a great win!

I didn't think the DSW reveal was as bad as everybody is making it out to be... Given the way Drew has done reveals during the one-bids and some of the games, I thought that she may have been over or just slightly missed the $250 range.

Plinko was bad. It's not fun when you get a 1 chip, $0 winner and the budget shouldn't be controlled in that way. You really don't need to control Plinko, because it controls itself!

Or, at the very least, on just the late Wednesday taping, for example (so every six days).

I actually found Drew's reveal to be interesting and different.  I wouldn't want him doing it that way every time, though.  I was fully expecting her to be somewhere between $251-$260...
Title: Re: TPiR Recap - 6/10/2011
Post by: JohnHolder on June 11, 2011, 12:44:45 PM
I remember watching the Plinko playing around '97 or '98 where the contestant had five chips but zeroed on all of them, so a wipeout can happen even if the player does everything right that's skill-related. I don't think we have to assume that this was set up that way for budget control reasons. It's not like they suddenly doubled the sizes of the zero chutes.

I didn't like Drew's reveal. While some might have interpreted it as leading up to her just missing a DSW, I figured it out from the way her said it, and it blew the suspense for me. Celestine was a great player, though, and I really enjoyed watching someone win that much.

Yeah, I agree. If only he had explained that $250 away thing earlier. Like before the showcases, when the time is appropriate! Not right in the middle of the showcase reveal!

Also, it still annoys me greatly that there have been no perfect shows this year.

I wish someone would intentionally miss the second digit, EXPLAIN TO THE AUDIENCE WHY, and have it get through editing so it permanently changes the way it's played for the rest of the game's existence.

Which is about as likely as mentioning the 10 Chances zero rule.
Title: Re: TPiR Recap - 6/10/2011
Post by: JohnHolder on June 11, 2011, 05:10:02 PM
In order for that to work, you'd need a contestant who:

(1) actually knows what the second digit is,

(2) realizes the strategy, and

(3) thinks it through under the pressure of being onstage and having to make decisions very quickly.

Particularly considering most of the people who've been on the show lately, don't hold your breath.

You know its ironic that this has happened three times in 48 hours on 3 forums I frequent, that's amazing. Three different people doing the same thing.


Anyway, DSW #8. The contestants we get may not be high-class standard, but it seems like the class we get is pulling out DSWs left and right.

I know they had quite a few in season 37, but I can't remember if there were more than 8 or not.
