We had a very decent show today. I had to miss the 1st pricing game due to the special report from obama about the economy.

Pretty decent show today, in my opinion.

Yay, 10 Chances again! And not too bad of a playing either.

Cover Up seemed to be its usual self. I would've won it with the correct last two choices of 1 and 3, and I had suspected that when he chose what he did, he wouldn't win the car.

And, Eazy Az 1-2-3 was, well, easy.

Too bad we didn't get a win on the debut of the newest member of The Price is Right pricing game pool. A decent game overall.
Title: Re: TPiR Recap - 6/8/2012
Post by: Wayoshi on June 08, 2012, 03:36:28 PM
Great show today, Cover was the only blah portion. Obama ended up just adding tension to everything, looked like just a standard Eazy W missed there.

What wasn't standard was Eazy 1st, normal Cliff 5th, and 10C (another nice playing to end its season!) last. With that and Cross (which minus the tweet, would have stoned us all today), honestly this is the best argument you can make Adam was playing FPG... and boy, he got me today. :P

I guess we have a Cross thread in Talk is Right, but quick recap of my thoughts here: excellent pricing aspect, I love how there are pairs of prices as options, where the middle number links and crosses the prices (if it's 1st in one price, it must be last in the other, 2nd then 3rd, etc.). But set reminds us that the Mike era is indeed too big & flashy everywhere, and this time on a regular 2-prizer it can't get away with it like Rat or Rent. Maybe if the lights go away soon, I can get used to the big prop, but it just doesn't feel like it needs more than GPT space. What I didn't like though was that two sexed up items (again, too big!) were used and caused trouble, clearly her buds wanted the lowest grill option, which I can completely understand. I really don't like that grill.

Great June week with 16/17 wins and a split on the cars.

Eazy: We missed a $500 bonus in addition to this being won.

CU: Well, President Obama did us a favor- that playing was pretty uneventful.

DC: As far as I know, there are four pairs of prizes you can choose from; I knew the shower was $5,327 & I probably would've won.

SBS: Fairly easy.

C-H: Joshua gave us a little scare when he underbid the second SP on the third one.

TC: Janie played this mostly good, so we hit the .500 mark in the car games this week!

Showcases: I knew the tripcase would be worth more than the car Showcase.

This was a good week on the next-to-last full one of the season!

Gwendolyn and Manuela, but no Daniel?  Hooray!

-95 looked right for the BBQ island in Double Cross and I probably would have set it for that and won, or at least I like to think so.

Great template for Double Cross, Vader.  I was wondering how it would appear on here, and that looks pretty good!

Was SC2 a two-prize showcase, or technically a 27-prize showcase?  :P

I was thinking we were heading for a Cliff Hangers slam dunk until he went lower on the 3rd item than the 2nd.  Thank goodness he had enough slack from the first two to cover the bad bid.  $20-30-40 would have produced an exacta.....I can't recall; how often does $20-30-40 produce not only a winner but an exacta?  Between that and the zeros rule in 10C, there were a couple very LFAT-friendly setups today.

I also missed the first part (first three pricing games) of the show today.

Where is 10 Chances?? :-?

Here it is; add my "Yay". :-)  And nice to see all three prizes won. I still miss the old cue for the first two though.

I don't know if Rory was playing strategy or not on his first Cover Up guess, but it didn't really matter as I don't think he was ever gonna pick 1 for the fourth number.

Potential nickname for the new PG:  Double Pushover.  But seriously, after the re-introduction of Bargain Game, do we really need another 2-prize game in the rotation?  I did love the camera angle and zoom to introduce the game, though.

Joshua almost screwed himself by going so low on the third item.  Those bowls looked like they could be $45.

Aside from two dumb guesses ending in 5, Janie got those first two prizes fairly quickly and had plenty of chances to get the car.  No dumb guesses like $19,807 or $79,801.  Just a solid win.

My showcase bids:
Tripcase--$29,107
Jeep--$26,107

WSQ!

Tell that to Switch? which has been played 36 times in 38 weeks. (To answer your question: Absolutely.)

Nice wins on Eazy Az 123 (even though I missed it), Side By Side, Cliff Hangers, and 10 Chances.

Double Cross looks neat!  Too bad it was lost.  I wonder if it can be played for two prizes with 5-digit prices.

Good end to the week, IMHO.

Indeed, I don't get why people do the same kind of thing in Cliff Hangers so often, bidding way too low on the last item when they have a cushion.  He covered $2 to $44 for the price of the bowls.  Hello, the bowls aren't going to be $2!!!!  Bid a little higher than you maybe think they are, since you have a lot of cushion and you are wasting it by bidding low.  (A couple weeks ago, I recall someone covered not only $0, but some negative dollars with their third bid in Cliff Hangers.  Don't do that!!!

I think she finally got the hang of 10 Chances on the car.  $35 was marginally excusable; maybe she thought there was no way it was $50 but gave in.  Fortunately with 5 chances left and only ever 6 good options for the price of the car, she was in good shape once she figured it out.

Wow, another good show to finish off the week! Amazing to have a 17-13 (or 16-14, for the purists) week in June. :) This was a true FPG lineup - Adam is definitely playing with us now, with 10C last for only the 2nd time since season 29, and Eazy 1st as well. Was great to see 10C get another win on as tough a setup as you can get in that game - I just wish it got played even a bit more than the ridiculous 10-week schedule it's on.

As for the new pricing game, I love it and think it's a great addition to the rotation. Definitely my favorite of the three post-Roger pricing games. More thoughts are in the thread.

Drew is definitely getting weaker as the season winds down. In particular, his explanation of the new pricing game, of all things, was poor today - he's just mailing it in at this point. Dimich was extremely poor today as well - the show is just way too edited now. In particular, there was an obvious cut in Eazy, where Drew was in mid-sentence, and it cut him off! You can't do that. No wonder he got fired.

26 pairs of jeans is no better a prize than 365 pairs of shoes. Stop with the excessive clothes, Mike....

Timings:
Eazy as 123 (4) - 3:46
Cover Up (5) - 4:34
Double Cross (4) - 3:56 (timing it at 4 for now...)
Side By Side (3.5) - 2:43
Cliff Hangers (4.5) - 5:01
10 Chances (6) - 5:22
Total (27): 25:22

Post by: stardf29 on June 08, 2012, 10:30:01 PM
Yay for living in Hawaii and Obama's press conference's not overriding Price!  :P

Eazy was pretty easy as long as one considered 3D HDTVs more expensive than bikes, which the size of the TV helped out with.

Cover Up was back to usual-hard.

Double Cross is a cool game, a bit too glitzy of a set, but a good concept. The setup was brutal, though, as all the choices were within $1,000 of each other for both prizes, plus the deceptively expensive grill. It'd be interesting to see if they'll come up with some more interesting setups, such as those where a price that looks "nice" on one prize ends up making the other prize an obviously wrong price.

I wonder if we'll see it next week, or maybe in one of the summer specials...

Cliff Hangers could have been exacta'd with the ol' 20-30-40 combo. At least he didn't listen to that girl in the audience (his significant other?) who wanted him to go $10...

And a nice 10 Chances win to wrap things up! It was weird that for the middle prize, the lowest non-zero number ended up being the correct first digit; usually, the first digit is one of the two highest digits. She did well, though, zero-rule violations aside (and honestly, I'm not expecting contestants to know the zero rule anymore, though they should be following it by the time they reach the car, and at least she didn't try ending with anything other than -5).

And both 10 Chances this season and pricing games this week get winning records (regardless of whether Plinko counts as a win or not)!

SC2: So I guess ridiculous amounts of designer shoes was not enough for the producers, so they went up the body a bit to jeans? Still ridiculous.

I think that new game Double Cross is kind of cool. Personally, I'd love to see a lot more new pricing games in the future. Ever since Drew took over the show, We've only had one or two premiering every two years. Also, this is the first new pricing game that is played for prizes other than a car or cash since the new Balance Game premiered in February 2006.

Heck, I should be happy that this new pricing game premiere didn't get interrupted like the first game and a half and also the premiere of On The Spot in 2003. That particular pre-emption (in my area) kind of disgusted me.
Title: Re: TPiR Recap - 6/8/2012
Post by: PriceBusterXL on June 09, 2012, 01:32:42 PM
I missed the entire show because I thought that Obama's conference was gonna last a whole hour and I thought it would pre-empted the show, so I went back to sleep. But I did watch it on CBS.com.

THE BAD NEWS:

Cover Up: Only one word: EVIL! Tough Break for Rory..........

Double Cross: I like the new game and it's a awesome concept, but unfortunately Janice fell victim to the peanut gallery (Mostly her husband I'm guessing). At least she won her showcase, though.

THE GOOD NEWS:

Eazy Az 1-2-3: "Eazy" setup for Corey!

Side-by-Side: Andrew did a good job!

Cliffhangers: Joshua played that like a pro! Too bad he went over on his showcase, even though it was lame (A year's worth of crappy jeans?! Might as well stick with the shoes, Mike..........).

10 Chances: The director didn't even bother showing the entire game, which was lazy on his account.............I guess Mike firing him is a good thing. But Janie did win it all the way!

4/6 wins and no Daniel Goddard! A good show IMHO, but while I'm glad to see Manuela and Gwendolyn, I hope to see more of Rachel and Amber, too............Maybe next week, I guess.

Yeah, the "by the book" 20-30-40 set-up and the last items made for an interesting playing. Drew seems careful about how much he can give away about strategy. But Cliffhangers is one game (along with Rent and Cover Up) that he seems to try to use a little emphasis in his voice to suggest strategy to those who are listening. Drew might not be able to tell them "go high, because there's no point in covering super-low or negative numbers." But he did have that the contestant could be off by $21 "high or low", which sort of hints at it. In spite of that, she still signaled $10 from the crowd.

My preemption end during the first round of Cover Up. Seems like he was using the strategy intentionally. I wish he would have won. Aside from the implausible 3 as the 2nd digit, ending the price with 88 makes it seem like he only cared about the first digit to start.

Post by: Mewtwo on June 09, 2012, 10:59:20 PM
This was a great show overall.

Cliff set up for 20-30-40, as soon as I saw that I knew this board would be going apeshit.  I'm still hoping that that's the setup one day when a member here gets up, and says something to the effect of "I'm not even going to look at the prizes." and rattles off 20-30-40.

Very friendly setup on 10 Chances as well, without a 2 in there to screw things up she had a 5/6 chance on the car and was rewarded for playing it right.

Doulbe Cross looks like it can be a fair game, if you can pin down one price or the other you're good.

Nice to see the Cover Up strategy used, too bad it didn't work for him.

Like PriceBuster, I went back to sleep during the conference, except I woke up in the middle of Double Cross.

I didn't mind it too much, but I agree that there should be a G-T asterisk or something for the first and last position on each line. I actually liked the set though, despite it being a little gaudy with all of the lights. It should be a good change from seeing Switch and Bargain Game every other show, and it reminded me a little of Make Your Move as well.

I'm still hoping that that's the setup one day when a member here gets up, and says something to the effect of "I'm not even going to look at the prizes." and rattles off 20-30-40.

That reminds me of when someone picked #4 at the beginning of ½ Off, and ended up winning.
