I haven’t been actively watching in some time, but hasn’t it been more often in recent years for people to take the prizes in Temptation, rather than go for the car? That’s my impression, but I definitely could be wrong..
According to http://tpirstats.com/Other/PGStats4.html#tmp this season had 7 plays of Temptation, 5 with the player taking the gifts; 1 of those times, the player had the price of the car right. Last season was 4 gift-takings out of 7 plays; none of those players had the price right.
The last full win of Temptation was Season 44.

The reason I called what happened today "common sense" is because I always want the players of Temptation on TPIR to come out ahead with something to show for their playing of that game; sure, taxes must be paid even on those prizes, but that'd still be much easier (IMO) than having to pay them on a car (and paying them on a car might be a tall order if you don't win any money in the Showcase Showdown).

Too bad for another Card Game loss.
Post by: gamesurf on May 22, 2019, 07:46:41 PM
They've been trying to entice more people to go for the car in the past few playings. The last two playings offered $20K and $21K cars but offered prize packages just over $4K, cheaper than it's been for a while. Normally the car is usually around 3.5x the ARP of the prizes.
The fishbowl of cash especially has taken a hit the past few playings, hovering around $2,000, while last season it averaged about $3,400. The fishbowl is normally the most desirable and most expensive prize by far, so I read its value dropping as an effort to get people to break the streak and get a car won.
But still...it's hard to get tempted by 1/16 odds at winning a car whose price begins with 14 or 15. Unless you need to win a car, or are darn sure you have the right price, bailing was absolutely the right call IMO. Temptation isn't tempting unless the car being offered is tempting.

I knew Kaitlyn stopped way too early. Should've went at least to $21,000.
Pick a Pair should've been won with one of the $8.99 products being revealed since it was very likely the heartburn relief that matched it. The protein bars were the most likely $4.79 product to go with the quiches.
Anyone else in favor of Card Game getting another bump-up in the opening price? Maybe $18,000?I could see that. It's been $15,000 for most of Drew's tenure and they upped it from $12,000 after only a few seasons.

Although I wouldn't be opposed to a higher opening bid, I think Card Game's range is fine as it is.
