*Is it common practice to not let someone change their bid once its entered? I didn't think so; I thought there was some degree of leniency, but Drew just seemed oddly dismissive of Brenda during the 2nd one bid (there could have been a bad edit where she waffled too long...still).
Both car games teetered on evil
Drew has got to quit telling people games are hard. That sucked the life and hope out of That's Too Much...especially as close as the contestant got to the price on an evil set-up. And what was up with him trying to scare her by yelling at her during the explanation of the rules? That struck me as being in poor taste and taunting a genuinely moved contestant.
I agree that Drew absolutely needs to stop criticizing difficult games right before the contestant is about to play them. However, while his yelling was unnecessary, it did add a bit of excitement to TTM that's been missing since Bob left (ex: Bob - "Now, when you go to say that's too much, I don't want you to just say it. I want you to yell it like you're a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps! Now tell me how you'll say it!" ... Contestant - "THAT'S TOO MUCH"). In this instance, the contestant did appear to be a little startled, but it certainly got my attention.When Drew tells a contestant that a certain game is hard, then that contestant will get that assumption that a game is hard, and that will give that person too much pressure as it is.
I actually enjoyed today's show. I thought the setups were pretty fair, and despite going 3/6 with no car wins, 2 of the losses had at least a partial win, so that was a nice change of pace from the 2/6'ers we've been seeing lately. And I've noticed an older cue or two being mixed in with some of the shows this week, although remixed slightly. I definitely want this to be a trend that continues!

Drew needs to stop adding fuel to the fire when it comes to things like that.
It doesn't actually make much of a difference.
I don't see how More or Less was evil. The first three prizes were pretty easy, and the audience seemed split 50/50 on the car. She just went with the wrong half of the audience. Doesn't seem all that evil to me.I thought it was evil because the car looked like it was more than $19,200.
Holy cow what was Drew's problem during the first half today?In fairness to Drew, that episode was taped well over a month after the one that aired today.
You go from him hosting the hell out of the slow, like Tuesday, to something like today.
I wonder who the ineligible contestant is this time.I am not certain whether you expect to get an answer, but they stopped specifying which contestant was ineligible since at least the beginning of Season 40.
Brilliant idea, whoever that was. I did find it interesting though that it is essentially the same reveal as Magic #, and that showed up today as well.
It looks like Magic # is the new "let's throw away some prizes" game. Contestants still set the price way too low for some reason, but now they're setting it up with flippin' $3500 ranges. I didn't think Magic # of all games would be broken by inflation, but I think it has been.

The rule is that for parts of the show where a contestant's decision is lit up (One Bids, Showcases, Pay the Rent's grocery placement...), once the bid/decision appears on the monitor, it cannot be changed.
Drew mentioning that TTM is a tough game and seeing Magic # today made me realize that difficulties never used to be so game specific.
It's true that certain games are naturally more difficult than others. But setups can try to even things out, since every game needs to be winnable.
Have a difficult Magic #, Cliff Hangers, or Pick-A-Pair playing. Have an easy Temptation, Check Out, or Stack the Deck setup.
Lucky $even on Tuesday was a good example. Let's break the trend of basically knowing results when games are revealed.
That's Too Much: THAT'S ONE SHORT!!! Ugh. I thought Florida was right. Damn you Richards. Cruel setup.
Explain how that was a cruel, "Richards-esque" setup.
Explain how that was a cruel, "Richards-esque" setup.Amen. How can TTM have a fair setup?
It doesn't actually make much of a difference [when Drew talks about a game's difficulty].
I'm hearing a rumour that the Showcase winner was in fact ineligible. I base this on the Game Show Kingdom website. Can anyone confirm?
