Hat trick for Johnny (with two family members on past shows and won). Not sure whether he meant the showcase or just a PG in general, but he did well.
Nice win in Bargain to close out the show. 2 cars, quick & simple

It's fun things like three door Most Expensive and Bargain Game for two cars that always keeps me coming back for more.Seeing three door Most Expensive takes me back. If only they has used a classic cue as well. I liked the way the numbers were centered, and the fact that the contestant gave an actual number (“2” this time) as his choice. Old school. :-)

Also, where did the other three contestants go while the game was being played?
Post by: SeaBreeze341 on September 19, 2022, 03:50:52 PM
I'm not sure about the other contestants. I think they went back to their seats with their family members, but I totally didn't even pay attention to them during the game

I'm pretty sure contestants, even those who have been on stage, just go back to their pods.
And we have a toilet sighting! Yes Drew...we get it....it's a #2 joke.
Also, is the "wow" payoff of offering 4 trips really worth the 75 seconds it took to describe all of those trips?
I'm being a bit negative here though. This actually FELT like a premiere. Love the Most Expensive set-up and even all of the models riding the scooters.

- $1,000,000 Pay The Rent (with a near-forced $100K bailout)
- a $40,000 swimming pool in Bonus Game
- a bunch of other ordinary games & ordinary prizes
- $51,000 Grand Game
- Most Expensive in three doors for three rooms
- Bargain for 2 cars
- 3 Strikes
- Cliff Hangers for 4 trips
- every game offering at least $20,000; no game offering more than $51,000
- every game reasonably winnable (save maybe 3 Strikes)
...I will take the latter every time.
This was a fantastic show, one of the best season premieres in recent memory. Every segment had something to keep it fun and memorable. It truly felt like the entire show was a celebration. Helps that the audience is louder than it's been, too!
It's a little funny Drew has somebody stand on the dollar sign during their game and then immediately high five and allow contestants to hug him after they win, but do what you gotta do to keep the guilds happy and the show in production.

Also, regarding the pontoon boat offered on one of the pricing games, is this the first time a female model wore a swimsuit on daytime Price in many years?

Also, great opening episode for the season! They did very well for this one. Much better than the 50th season finale they did a few weeks ago. The games were set up to be won (except for 3 Strikes).
Here's to another amazing season of the greatest game show on TV!

The Most Expensive joke ... groan, just groan, Drew...
:roll: Of course.
I love how you only post to complain about some minuscule element of the show when you could...simply not watch it if it offends you so much.

I noticed the #2 joke from Drew as well. Of course he'd laugh about that...but laughter can be contagious. :P
Too bad in the second half as Squeeze Play felt winnable to me, and Cliff Hangers even more so. I had my doubts about Bargain Game, but fortunately that was won.
Sometimes, I question why I watch with family, as that would lead me to go WAY over on the Mercedes showcase (higher than anyone in CSS today if I played). Then again, I probably would've been over by a few thousand anyway, and I still would've been over by a few hundred on the Volkswagen showcase.
A great premiere, and as usual, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!
Post by: SteveGavazzi on September 19, 2022, 11:54:33 PM
I'm pretty sure they wanted Grand Game to be won. They clearly also wanted Cliff Hangers to be won, but that didn't exactly work out.
Most Expen$ive for three trips! ...Or three rooms, actually, but they used the trip staging! That absolutely made my day.
3 Strikes was easily the biggest disappointment of the day...but with how much the game relies on luck, there's really nothing they could have done about that.
I'm not crazy about the new logo. It's not awful, but it looks kind of...cartoonish, I guess? The audience signs look markedly better than the others, though, and are actually pretty slick.
The Big Wheel looks really snazzy...and they finally edited the stock footage surrounding the arrow shot to take out the wall segment with the square pattern that was still visible all last season!
It looks like they changed something on the light strip on the Turntable's doorframe...I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but its lighting is noticeably different than all the other ones now.
Also, is it just me, or did the lights on the audience pods change color during the prize descriptions for Most Expen$ive? It looked like they suddenly turned a lighter shade of blue and stayed that way for the rest of the show.
Also, where did the other three contestants go while [Most Expensive] was being played?
I just went back and looked -- they went back to their seats.

Steve's word of "cartoonish" is the perfect way to describe the new logo. It didn't feel cheap, but just goofy somehow. It's hard to explain.
Using all 3 doors for Most Expensive was awesome. I was really expecting them to do a wide shot with the jib like they do of all 3 doors during triple play. It would have been cool to see. But I assume they didn't do it because the necessary staging of the many items within the doors might have looked odd from the wide angle.
Post by: tpir04 on September 26, 2022, 02:39:05 PM
My only gripe is a needlessly evil 3 Strikes price.....zeroes have no place other than as the last digit.

Happy 51st y'all.
Post by: Wayoshi on September 28, 2022, 06:08:23 PM
Agree with all the comments that this felt more like the first show of a new season. On 3 Strikes, I think it's time to just give the contestant the first number and only put the remaining 4 numbers in the bag. The game would go from "nearly impossible" to "difficult to win." It would also possibly save some time. They give the first number on so many car games, why not this one?Because the budget would take 2-3x as much of a hit on a win as a regular car win, and they want to control their giant wins to specified (gimmick) weeks.
Happy 51st y'all.
