This show looks like every show this week.
Except we have the Plinko Record ( $10,000 Center Slot ) broken.
The $31,500 won , breaks the Previous Record ( $30,100 won on Christmas in 2007 )
Since they raised the Value of the Middle slot to $10,000 , this is only the 2nd time the Center slot has been hit 3 times in one playing.

Ryan was a tad over-the-top with his enthusiasm, bordering on obnoxious; but I ended up cheering really loud for him every time he hit the center slot. I wager if he had those two to do over; he would have ended up with $50,000, he knew what he was doing. Meanwhile, if Barker had randomly walked onto the set, Ryan probably would have had a nuclear meltdown. The kid was definitely a LFAT.

Loved Ryan.

When Drew gave him his first Plinko chip, he excitedly commented "There's only 10 of these in existence!" ..how true is that? That's news to me.

It's true. There's a picture floating around (I think it was on the show's Twitter or Instagram account) of the other 5 chips, in their holding box, and "Do not use" written on it.

Incredible that this guy knew that off the top of his head, absolutely a LFAT and deserved the big win and record he accomplished.

It's a pretty bad week when an all-time great Plinko segment is the only win (and even then, some would still say it's a loss) in the last 15 PGs.

Like again, great segment, but this week has been the absolute pits everywhere else. Oh well, let's enjoy that diamond in the rough...

We're 2 more Car Games tomorrow from a Winless ( Won from Pricing Games ) Car Week.
The Show must be relieved after all those winners last week.

What a haul in Plinko! It's kind of hard to believe that only two contestants have won over $30,000 in the game in daytime. Couldn't have happened to a better contestant-- a definite LFaT as has been said.

The rest of the show was again filled with pretty ungenerous set-ups. Most Expensive probably should've been won, although I don't blame her for picking the refrigerator. Let em Roll was mean with the super expensive coffee, and I don't think many contestants would've thought the car was $15,000 in Line em Up or chosen $12,000 for the bags in Balance Game.

An all-time record in Plinko? I'm glad I tuned in today. No matter whether the contestant was genuinely that excited, or perhaps pushed by the producers to be over the top, it was a Plinko for the ages. I'm just upset that Plinko win didn't come 10 years ago, when such a record would have been a "historic moment" and cherished as such. $31,500 - pretty good stuff right there. I'll take one historic Plinko over five Freeze Frame victories.

When the Old Record was Broken in 2007, Drew Checked to see what the Plinko Record was Before the Last Chip was Dropped.
He was Hype that day when that happened.

Today , he was more laid back and only mentioned the Record after the last Chip was dropped.

Ryan might just be my favorite contestant of the Carey era. He deserved every bit of that $31K on Plinko.

I tuned in literally when George announced Ryan was going to play Plinko. I enjoyed Ryan's energy and enthusiasm, and I was truly excited to see him win $20,000 with two chips left. When I saw the last one enter the $10,000 slot, I was amazed to see a new Plinko record. Here's hoping we see other $30,000+ winners in the future.

Also, off-camera, Ryan went to George's podium and announced (https://www.facebook.com/ThePriceIsRightCBS/videos/10154793251211785/). He even ad-libbed the old snail mail plug!

Ryan not only broke the all-time daytime Plinko record, he also beat the $30,500 won when the $10k got raised to $30k last October on a show celebrating CBS being #1 for 30 years.

What was the highest amount ever won under Bob Barker's run?

Quick google tells me Daytime, 23,000 with the 10K slot, 21K for 5K.

Also, slight sidenote, all the chips were dropped either in the center, or one slot away from the center. Good job.

Best loss you will ever see, due to not winning 50K Good job for winning big!


Question for Let Em Roll: Are you allowed to ask to reroll the dice that say Car? Because with a 1/16 chance of the car, I would have just rerolled everything.

Absolutely shameful.

They posted about it on Facebook at least several hours ago, specifically this segment, I think about ten minutes into the West Coast airing.

Wonder why would Twitter would focused on a different game ( Freeze Frame )
Mind you , Their Facebook and Instagram page has both his Winning Moment and his BTS Video.

Also, a fact no one has pointed on , Rachel posted on her Instagram Page that today marks her 1,900th Episode she's been a model for.

Seriously, contestant of the year material. Helped lift my spirits after how awful the rest of this week has been so far for the show. Congratulations to him.

That being said, today's show was slightly more winnable than yesterday's. Most Expen$ive shouldn't have been lost, and Freeze Frame wasn't that hard either - $7k and $9k seemed to be the only valid options there. On the other hand, Balance Game was about as unwinnable as you can get there, and Roll also had that unexpectedly expensive coffee.

and the clip of the day even isn't Plinko.

Absolutely shameful.
Whoever runs their Youtube account has made some pretty questionable choices for clip of the day (and I think I've ranted about it before), but this had to be the worst of them all. Seriously...you had a great contestant setting a daytime record for Plinko on an otherwise winless show, and you choose to upload a Let 'em Roll playing that wasn't even a full win? Come on.

I must be aging out of the target demographic then, because I could barely stand to watch him.  The nonstop hollering and screaming at each One-Bid as well as the yelling during Plinko, I found to be very very grating.

So most of you who would actually care probably know by now that I've been way behind on TPIR for several months.  I'm finally getting near being caught up, though, and I just hit this episode tonight.  (I also just spoiled most of 7955K, which aired the day before this one, for myself by reading this thread, but that's my own fault.)  I haven't been commenting in the recap threads since they've been dormant for so long, but given what happened in Plinko, I feel like this one merits an exception.  So here goes:

Holy CRAP was Ryan a showoffy døuche.  I can't remember the last time I saw someone try so hard to make himself stand out in such a negative light.  The guy may know the show inside and out (which I honestly have to question a little bit -- someone who's really that obsessed with TPIR shouldn't have had to ask the audience whether or not 0 was the last number in Plinko), but once he got called, he obviously didn't care about anything besides drawing attention to himself -- seriously, who the hell starts a chant of their own name three separate times?  I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually a little bit glad I knew beforehand how much money he was going to win -- I'm not sure the nerd in me could have stomached watching him hit that center slot the third time without knowing it was coming.

In contrast, every other contestant on this show seemed much more normal and more deserving of winning anything that they won (and some other things that they didn't, given how their games turned out).  I especially liked Stefanie, who had the grace to exclaim, "Oh, rats!" with a straight face when she went over on the Big Wheel.  Speaking of the Big Wheel, I was actively rooting against Ryan in the second Showcase Showdown (and him intentionally spinning himself into the floor twice didn't raise my opinion of him any).  I was so happy when Jacob got 95.

Seriously, guys, I'm not sure what most of you saw in this kid.  Yeah, he set a record, but good Lord is that not the way I want people to think of our community.

Oh, and on a less shouty note, one of the guys sitting to the left of Contestants' Row looked remarkably like Scott.  It wasn't him, but the resemblance was strong enough to make me go back and check his name tag.
