Out In Left Field / Re: Masters 2024 Golf
« Last post by SeaBreeze341 on Yesterday at 11:49:27 PM »
I would almost go as far to say he is our generations Tiger Woods. (in the 'almost' portion is mostly to say he's not currently as famous as him outside golfing circles)

Based on Scottie's personality, he's probably OK with the fact that he'll never be anywhere near the level of Tiger in terms of fame.  Family first, no ego, and life it good for the World Number 1.  Being great at golf and an awesome husband & father tops being a face if not the face of the PGA

The TALK Is Right / Re: Give or Keep speculations
« Last post by Nick on Yesterday at 11:40:25 PM »
With no disrespect to Roger, while he is the source for many "official" things we've learned over the years, there are some things he's said that, while they have been deemed the official reasons, don't necessarily make sense.

Give or Keep's retirement being because "most of the show’s staffers didn’t like it very much" doesn't compute with a game that lasted nearly eighteen years.  If it was so loathed, why did it last for so long?  They had plenty of other SP games to play in place.  It also doesn't align with Roger's intended plans to unretire the game in Season 38.

I'm more inclined to believe that some of the show's staffers didn't like it very much and at least one (perhaps more) who was influential enough had it killed (No, I have no ideas as to who that could be).

I can see your point, but what if someone bid/added "420" or "69" to their bid because it actually would get them the win? Some people might think one is being funny, but if it were me, I wouldn't be doing so deliberately for humor; it would just be because I felt that doing so would get me the win if I am the last person to bid and felt that I needed to think critically.

Unless you are the last to bid and the highest bid ends in _419 or __68, there is quite literally no legitimate reason to ever add 420 or 69 to your bid other than to be a clown.

Like I understand that Price is supposed to be fun or whatever, but if you're not going to actually attempt to win, then you have no business being on the show. Period. I imagine that being a contestant coordinator is a thankless job, not the least of which is because you'll get the blame if you send some moron out there who just wants 15 minutes of fame.

I can see your point, but what if someone bid/added "420" or "69" to their bid because it actually would get them the win?

Unless there really are any prizes these days that end in $420 or $69, you can be mature and bid something else and still win.

Yes, this means if you want to one-up someone whose bid ends in $419 or $68, you be mature by bidding something other than $1 higher (perhaps a few dollars higher so it doesn't look like you are so blatantly skipping "dirty numbers" because you know Drew would at least giggle to see you two-up someone to avoid those figures).

Honestly, they should just put it in the contestant release not to make such bids since enough people have been called who couldn't seem to figure that out (though how the contestant coordinator didn't figure out they'd be such a bad pick...).  There really should be a mechanism to eject contestants who don't take the proceedings seriously and just want to be a doofus on television.  Such idiots need not to take the place of others in the audience who would make for great contestants.

Bidding $420 because you believe that is what will get you the win is one thing. Bidding $420 because you think it's funny (like $69) is another. One is a person trying to get up on stage, the other is a clown looking for their 15 minutes.

My grandmother, who has been watching Price is Right for 50+ years has always said she thinks they should have a rule of bidding a certain amount within others and I've always said that makes things unfair. If contestant A bid $999 and I know (or genuinely believe) the price is $1000, it's not fair that I would now have to bid something like $1025 and risk going over. It's tough because I also get annoyed when someone one-ups the last person to get called down, a crowd favorite who had been stuck in contestant's row all show, or even someone who is a clear fan vs someone clueless who probably hadn't seen a full episode of Price is Right since it started. In the end, it's still a game and has always been this way .

I can see your point, but what if someone bid/added "420" or "69" to their bid because it actually would get them the win? Some people might think one is being funny, but if it were me, I wouldn't be doing so deliberately for humor; it would just be because I felt that doing so would get me the win if I am the last person to bid and felt that I needed to think critically.

I would concur, however, that bidding those numbers repeatedly to no avail would be rather obnoxious.

Also, you are right that it would be unfair to ban bidding $1 higher...the insane amount of complaints I see from people begging for that rule to be changed only tells me that some people have never seen TPIR in their lives to know the rules of the game that have been the standard since day 1 in '72.

$80085, Drew!

That, obviously, would be considered a dumb bid...even worse than bidding $420...

The TALK Is Right / Re: Taping times
« Last post by mrbrown2195 on Yesterday at 09:43:18 PM »
Yeah, mine was surprisingly live to tape. I’ll definitely have more to write when it airs - I have some grievances to air, and I’m going back for tomorrow’s July 4th special.

But we got seated by 10:35 and we were completely out of the studio by 12:25. It is a very well oiled machine and they do a fantastic job at the new studio.

There was no availability for show 2, either.
