I was only able to watch the "One Away" playing; did I just travel back in time to September 27?  That was an EXCELLENT playing...definately YouTube worthy!

Post by: BobboChung on October 13, 2006, 02:21:50 PM

Lucky Seven: If only Barabra had known a Jeep was at least $18,000....

Half Off: Darn. I thought 15 was it because it was green. The small items were easy to get, but not with the second part.

Squeeze Play: $3,618 looked the most right, because spa trips are fairly expensive.

One Away: Won for the third time in a row, and the second time in a row a person has gotten only one right on the first try to win.

Step Up: Played pretty well.

Hit Me: Played very poorly.

SSD2: Two $1,000 in the Showcase Showdown!

Showcases: I thought Kiberly had overbid on the trailer showcase, but I was wrong!

Overall: The second half was a bit better, but the show still wasn't all that good.

Post by: LiteBulb88 on October 13, 2006, 02:31:34 PM

I only saw the 2nd half, but here goes...

L7:  Didn't see it, but The Dob seems to like this price--didn't we see it with the Dodge Caravans last year?  And just like when Robert Searcy played L7 in a HYO with me as the contestant, it looks like it came down to the last number with $1...in my case, I guessed 4, and it was a $21,895 car.  In Barbara's case, she guessed 5...and got burned.  If we had switched, we'd both have cars, only hers would be real :-).

1/2 off:  Again, didn't see it, but it looks like you can't play it any better.

Squeeze:  Tuned in here, and I had no clue what the right number was there.

One Away:  Holly should've been much more excited when she only had one right!  She looked like she didn't realize it pretty much meant automatic win, but she figured it out.

Step Up:  Most of us in chat, myself included, had no idea the picnic gear would be so cheap.  That actually strikes me as a great Hole-in-One strategy:  if you're not sure of the order between two prizes, pick one and leave the other to the very end.  It'll be wrong at some point, but you don't risk losing much earlier.

Hit Me:  That was terrible.  PICK A PRICE THAT ENDS IN 0!!

Showcases:  My bids:  $18534/$23000.  My first DSW!

And that's the last show I'll be able to watch for about 6 weeks, as I'm off to Sweden!

Post by: heelsrule1988 on October 13, 2006, 03:05:12 PM

Lucky Seven- That was evil. I hate when Roger does that. :-(

1/2 Off- Ugh, what a painful start to the show. We desperately need a pick-me-up.

Showcase Showdown #1- Finally, there's our pick-me-up. I wish it had been Barbara, though... she was a great contestant.

One Away- Unbelievable, it happened again!!! That is amazing.

Showcase Showdown #2- Wow, what a day for the dollar! If nothing else, at least the Big Wheel was generous (!) today.

Showcase- Goodness, we were in SUPER rush mode there. I don't think I've ever seen the ARP reveals go that fast.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY- Barbara.

SHOW SUMMARY AND GRADE- After a couple of great shows, we end the week with an average one... Grade: 2

Post by: goldroadfanatic on October 13, 2006, 03:18:59 PM

Lucky $even-If only she had not screwed up on the second number, she should have won.  That last number was evil.

½ Off-That was painful, the SPs were easy to guess which one was underpriced.  I would never have guessed #4 had the money.

Squeeze Play-I would have also removed the 6 and lost.

One Away-When you only get one number right, you're in great shape!  Bob's buildup before the reveal was great.

Step Up-Never expected to see this one in the fifth slot!  Anyway, it was a tough choice between the picnic totes and small appliances for the first pick.  Ihor's strategy was good to pick the other prizes besides the totes, so he would not lose it all.

Hit Me-I wondered why she went with the rolls first.  That was played badly.

SCSD #2-That first 1.00 spin was interesting...

Showcases-The first showcase, I bid $17,400 and would only be $1,289 off.  For the showcase with the random trailer, I would have bid $22,000 and be over $4,000 off.

Overall, an interesting show today.

Post by: MichaelC on October 13, 2006, 03:22:23 PM

Average show for me today and the wheel saves the day!

Lucky Seven: I had this eerie feeling that last number might be a "4".

1/2 OFF: Speaking of "4" I would have gone "4" here also and won.

Squeeze: No clue on this one though.

One Away: Awesome win again! A bit overplayed, but unlike TTM at least this gets won.

Step Up: Played nicely. Although I could swear I could hear Bob calling him "Eeyore" every time.  :-D

Hit Me: Wasn't expecting this again. More like Pick-A-Pair. This game's been played as much as Plinko and Double Prices so far this season. Still one of my favorites though.

Can't wait for next week!

Post by: Nick on October 13, 2006, 03:42:04 PM

Me...beating Frank...how bizzare.

Not that I'm hoping for a Lucky $even loss, but I'm curious to see a loss before the last digit to see if the price will be completly revealed like it was on the season premiere.

Rich on camerea...always love it. :-D

Speaking of Rich on camera, Roger was standing on the same side of the stage as he was.  Wonder why that was.

And speaking of Roger, I'm trying to figure out if he wanted ½ Off won or lost.  I knew it was going to come down to boxes four and fifteen.  I chose fifteen as well, thinking it would be there, thinking the Dob was aiming for a loss despite the easy SP portion; but it was in four...so maybe he thought ahead for that.

I'm surprised that the small appliances in Step Up were as expensive as they were, and I never expected the picnic totes to be as cheap as they were.

Thank God Ihor won the second Showcase Showdown after Linda got a dollar.  Her first spin should have been disqualified after she kept pulling down on the handles after she had spun.  I'm surprised they let that get away.  Makes me wonder if anything would have been done about it if she hadn't landed on the dollar.

Hardly, she had four digits wrong on her initial guess.  That's hardly "excellent."  It is absolutely no help to play One Away in a fashion of trying to get the last four digits wrong intentionally.

Post by: sternal on October 13, 2006, 03:45:44 PM

lucky Seven-ouch! That was a bad break for Barbara there.

Half Off- kimberly played that very well there,but fell short.

Squeeze Play-The moment that Jennifer took out the six I had a feeling she had lost.

One Away- That was prety much a easy win again since Holly got only one number right.

Step up-Ihor made the right decison to stop. If he had gone on he would have lost.

Hit me-Linda played that very badly and sloppy too.

Post by: thewhammy_2000 on October 13, 2006, 03:51:16 PM

Lucky Seven: Oh, it was really coming down to the last number. Barbara played okay, but picking 6 was so risky--I was thinking either 8 or 9.

½ Off: First I picked 6 -- gone. Then I picked 2 -- gone. I think the majority of the audience said 4. However, Kimberly and I picked 15. Bad Choice.

Squeeze Play: I knew the 6 had to stay. Thinking back to what I said about trips before, taking the 2 out would be a good idea; but then my thought of a price ending in 18 wouldn't be good. Then I got confused. At least my initial thought about the 6 was right.

One Away: At first, I thought Holly had four right with the last 6 being wrong. With only one horn, IT had to happen again. So only the 2 was right....

One Bid 5: Duck!!

Step Up: Boy were those small appliances expensive! Well, at least we can step up decent from there.

One Bid 6: Boy I had some successful strategy bidding 2001 for the motorcicle on the third One Bid. Now, I wanted Mark to bid 1001. When Linda won, a nice, bold "Dammit!" came out somewhere. At least we both tried.

Hit Me: A little bad, but not as bad as last time.

IUFB #1:  O_o  What an unusual... boat?

PG #1:  Given that this Jeep has PS/FP on it, the last number wasn't gonna be 5.  Jeeps with PS/FP almost always end in 4, so I knew this was gonna be a painful loss when she went to the last number with only $1 left.

PG #2:  Roger didn't put the money on the bottom row.  Highly unusual.

PG #4:  Holy cow, One Away 4th on an FPG day!  And holy cow #2, Holly pulled a Connie!  This PG has been on a hot streak this season.  Three wins in a row, two of them coming from having only one number right on the first try.  Take that, Roger!

IUFB #5:  (http://www.golden-road.net/chat/images/smilies/401e2dc728e5749b5bd39f2ec9ade679.gif) THE LOB-STER!

PG #5:  Wow, I wasn't expecting Step Up!  (Yeah, I put it on my GRECO card and my FPG card, but I definitely wasn't expecting it 5th.)  This game should've been won as that picnic stuff was obviously gonna be the cheapest prize up there.  Nonetheless, a decent haul for Ihor.

PG #6:  HIT ME AGAIN?!  We just played this last Friday!  Nice time for this to show up--this is the first week of the season that Roger gets to play the FPG and, to quote Robair from today's chat, "he made DAMN SURE to put it on a Friday".  To the game itself, that had to be one of the worst Hit Me playings I've ever seen.

My showcase bids:
Random room/trip--$18,507 (Another DSW-quality bid!  My 5th one of the season, 3d official one in CSS)
FRTS--$21,499

Even you have to admit that Holly's playing of "One Away" was just as exciting as Connie's.

I disagree, Bulldog, and the reason is the contestant's reaction:  you knew we probably had an LFaT when Connie got all excited when she realized she only had one number right.  Holly, on the other hand, reacted like she had no clue she had basically won the thing.

Eh, not the best show to end the week today in my opinion, sort of meh today.

Lucky 7: She'd have been in good shape if she'd said 7 or 8 for that first number. That's what hurt her.

1/2 Off: Oy, that hurts-play the front game perfectly, get shafted on the boxes. Oy.

Squeeze Play: Crapshoot here, I went with Jennifer as far as removing the 6. Fooled me.

One Away: Nice win here. 2nd straight playing the contestant only got 1 right on the first try.

Step Up: Whoa?! Wasn't expecting this. I wasn't sure which was more expensive the sp's or the picnic equipment. I bombed right off this time.

Hit Me: **Sigh** Again? Awful playing.

I couldn't believe that One Away, and the same thing happened earlier this season, which I had never seen happen before. Maybe from now on, the first number should be already given. I always wondered why it wasn't.

Post by: Mallory16 on October 13, 2006, 07:27:03 PM

Blah.  I did not care for today's show much.  Today's show had little going for it, mostly just uninteresting contestants, and one particular contestant who really got under my skin.

First, I'll try being positive:  Ihor was a nice guy, even if he was obviously confused.  Barbara was enjoyable as well, and less confused to everything.  Too bad she lost Lucky $even.

Specifically, Linda really rubbed me the wrong way.  As far as Hit Me is concerned, what confuses me most is why she said she knew how to play Hit Me, when that clearly wasn't the case, since she picked a bad first product, and made absolutely no effort to try to recover.  There was no good reason for Linda to pick the crescent rolls, which was obviously neither the 2 nor the ace.  And once she did, there was no good reason for her to choose what obviously had to be the 10.  And once she had that, there was no good reason for her to pick the index cards:  she should have tried to pick a higher card.  Even if she thought it might've been the ace, looking for the ace was probably not the best move at that point, anyway.  Can't feel bad for her that she lost.

I'm so glad Linda didn't win the showcase showdown, and it's honestly got nothing to do with how she did Hit Me.  It's got everything to do with how she interfered with the wheel while it was spinning, which gave her the dollar.  It's possible that she might've gotten $1.00 if she decided to spin again, but the point was, that first spin should not have counted:  why was she trying to stop the wheel?!  I'm so glad Ihor got $1.00 too, and I'm so glad he beat Linda.  I'm also surprised that it looks like Nick's the only person to notice that so far.

I wonder why Hit Met has been getting so much play, anyway.  I thought I'd heard back in 2005 that much of the show staff didn't care for Hit Me, or something like that.  Unless I misunderstood.

I completely agree with Britey.  Connie was a great contestant, with great reactions, and completely on the ball with what was going on.  Holly was bland and somewhat oblivious to her situation.  Connie's playing was a whole lot more fun for me.

Barbara was a blast and I was sadden for her when losing Lucky 7. I knew that last digit was 4.
 :-(

1/2 off was played excellently and should've been won.

Squeeze Play...Next.

One Away has been on a roll!!

Step Up was unexpected and I knew the picnic equipment was the least expensive.

Hit Me...I'll stop here.

Enjoy your weekend.

Post by: SteveGavazzi on October 13, 2006, 10:12:23 PM

Lucky $even might have been lost, but Bob certainly did a heck of a job milking it.

Anyone know what was going on in California when this show taped that caused Bob to joke about everyone's lights being off?

Did anyone else get a kick out of it when Kimberly put the lid back on her box after she lost 1/2 Off?

The only win of the day, in One Away, was certainly exciting...but did anyone else get the feeling that Holly never quite grasped that she'd essentially been handed the car?

Ihor played Step Up pretty well.  Really, there was no way of knowing off the bat whether the appliances or the picnic totes were more expensive, and he played as smartly as could be done after the former's price was revealed.

It's a lucky thing that there was no way for Linda to win Hit Me after her third draw, because Bob made a potentially huge mistake at that point by saying that the house had to stay on 16.  I'm glad they didn't award her the prizes, since she'd already legitimately lost...but boy, that could have been bad.

And the second Showcase Showdown was weird, too.  First, Bob let through Linda's spin even though she'd clearly tampered with it while the wheel was in motion, and then he told her she'd be disqualified if her spin in the bonus spin-off didn't go all the way around (which I hope was a misstatement).  At least Ihor, whose spins were legitimately executed, ended up winning.

Well, being this was taped in late july, there could have been rolling blackouts that caused everyones power to go off.  I was almost wondering when bob mentioned richs power going off, if they would put him on camera.  And I did notice that roger and the cameras were pretty much squeezing rich into the picture.

Hit Me has a historically high win percentage too.  I think this was more "Roger playing with our heads" than anything. (note these two Hit Me playing were both on Fridays, like you said...)

I would have said 5.

Half Off: Kimberly was a Nice Contestant, and I really felt sorry for her loss.

One Away:

The only win of the day, in One Away, was certainly exciting...but did anyone else get the feeling that Holly never quite grasped that she'd essentially been handed the car?

Yes, I didn't think Holly was excited until she changed the last 4 numbers. :-?

Step Up: Ihor made the right move by stopping at $1500 and is 3 prizes.

Hit Me: The Jack was the house's starting card.  The only two "food items" that would work are the Granola Bars and the Canned Pineapple.  When I saw Linda pick the Index cards, pineapple and rolls for a total of 16, I was thinking, "You better hope that the house has to draw and goes over, because 16 isn't going to cut it."  Sadly I was right. :-?

Showdown #2: YES!  2 $1000 winners, but I think Linda's weak spin was done on purpose.  I,too, felt very happy for Ihor when he eliminated Linda from the Showcase.

Showcases: That must have been the fastest SC reveals ever.  For Singapore, I would have gone with $14,000. I thought for sure Kimberly was over on the trailer.  I was eyeing my bid on $20,000.

Overall: Aside from the spinoff, Eh.  Not a fun show.

There was a rather historic moment on today's show.

Did you all catch it?

I believe that this is the first time the SC reveals were read very rapidly and Bart simply moved to Kimberly's podium instead of the usually cut to the wide screen.  Maybe it was used to save time, since the show was in speed mode after the second showdown.

Hardly, she had four digits wrong on her initial guess.  That's hardly "excellent."  It is absolutely no help to play One Away in a fashion of trying to get the last four digits wrong intentionally.

The "Cover Up strategy" works quite well in One Away, for some reason or another.

The strategy in One Away is to get all the numbers right.

If you intentionally use the "Cover Up strategy" in One Away, then you must know the correct price anyway. Why wouldn't you just set it to the right price the first time?

I didn't get a chance to watch the episode until after reading this thread... Ihor did not start out at the blue readout. He started out at the green readout, as he should have.

Speaking of Rich on camera, Roger was standing on the same side of the stage as he was.  Wonder why that was.

Jeff had the day off, so Roger was doing Jeff's job (note that Roger was holding the "Stage game" cue card).

[color=660066]Lucky Seven:[/color][/b]There were several mistakes in this game. one of them happens to be why whould she pick 6 instead of a 9 in the price of the Jeep (hint: Jeep Wrangler's 2nd number of the price is always been a 9!) and 2nd i knew this was a repeat when they shown the 8 and the 3 and she should have said 4 not 5. Last, if she missed the missed the 2 middle numbers by $1 and $2 and had the 2nd number right she should had won the Jeep.

[color=660066]Half Off:[/color][/b]The audience told her that the $10,000 was in #4 (my b-day) and she went with 15 and loss and i knew it was in Box #4!

[color=000000]Squeeze Play:[/color][/b]OUCH! I thought she had won this game but that hurts!

[color=FFFF00]One Away:[/color][/b]Yep! Another easy win for this principal.

[color=000099]Step Up:[/color][/b]I see this game less often than Poker Game, Take Two, and Danger Price. I knew when he picked the applances, day bed, and the piano, there is no way that the picnic totes was not more than $2,595.

[color=0000CC]Hit Me:[/color][/b]3 times in a row! 3 Lossers in a row. She missed that granola bars, that would have given her an ace plus the pineapple slices she chosen and she would have won.

Showcase showdowns: OMG! 3 $1,000 winners (2 in the 2nd half and 1 in the 1st half)!

Showcases: yet again on the random room showcase i bid $18,652 and missed it by $37 (another DSW for me!) And them trailer are soooo tricky.

Overall: It was an okay show.

And of course, every single contestant who's ever been on the the show has memorized that price.  Uh huh.  And while we're at it, why not blame Kimberly for losing Half Off, since it was so obvious that the $10,000 was in box #4.

...yeah.  Your holding these contestants to ridiculous expectation, Southy.

Maybe Steve can check this one, but wasn't the Lob-Ster $868 in the past?

No you didn't.  You can't know where the money is.

Oh, get over yourself.  Not everyone memorizes the prices.  Hell, I've watched the show every day since the end of Season 27, and I didn't know that.

It was for a long time, but it changed sometime in the last two years.

Barbra seemed to be pretty confident (I use that term loosly) that the first number of the Jeep was 6. I wish that she would have won. After all she's watched Bob on Truth or Consequences all her life. And did anyone notice that this was the final playing of Hit Me?

Yes--in the Pricing Games Notes and the Season Timeline in the FAQ, there is mention of this.  By now, it's common knowledge on this site.


Also, I do realize that if you're watching a re-run of this on TV, it's probably okay to recap it no matter how much later it is, but since it hasn't aired since April; however, isn't this part of the forums you're not suppose to resurrect after 30 days?

Well, Mr. Higgins is a new member and he is technically updating this thread with information that nobody posted in this thread since October 16, 2006, even though Hit Me's retirement was discussed in another thread months ago.  So, technically he did not do anything wrong.  Here's that rule in the Rules and Regulations of this forum:
