That second Showcase had me fooled a bit. After knowing what the theme was, and seeing a safari, I thought for sure they'd offer a Jaguar (luxury automobile) in that Showcase. But then the Kia is revealed.They really dropped the ball on that................But this (much like the Start Your Engines SC weeks ago) was hardly a excuse for that, if at all.
Overall, worst show of the week, despite that intense Triple Play (first time in 3 years) and $500 won in Punch a Bunch. Not necessarily a skunking in my books, but winless, nonetheless.
And about Triple Play, we'll have better luck next season.
Thank goodness that Squeeze Play player made up for his mistake by winning that Kia in the Showcase.
Are the three cars of Triple Play normally supposed to be in the $17,000-$22,000 range?For the Mike era, yes. You won't see the 3rd car be anything too high, because he wants it overpriced.
Remember what I said in the "easiest way to force a loss" thread regarding Triple Play? Prime example right hereI still don't see how a Mini Cooper is a tricky, overpriced car. You would expect a muscle car or SUV.

I'm referring to putting the lowest price as the correct answer on the last car. You are right in that the third car is usually significantly pricier than the other two, though.There's nothing wrong with setting it up this way, you can expect it every time in the Mike era. It's just that the DOB would usually let things go sometimes (even making the highest right in one notable case). Mike just can't let go because he overbudgets every show with designer crap and his SCs.
Yeah, today was a skunking, any way you slice it. In Punch-A-Bunch you are going to win money unless you get no prices correct. I don't see how it's even debatable unless the contestant would have won $10K or maybe even $5K, and even then it wouldn't have been considered a win.
I don't see why every pricing game has to be classified as a win or a loss, with no grey in between.Isn't there a whole section in the FAQ to describe partial wins? Sounds like gray to me.

The skunking means this episode gets a grade of F.
