Plinko- It's getting to the point where I'm starting to totally hate this game now. It's not the same it used to be at all.

Any Number- The ugliness continues. This show is getting nasty.

Bidding Round #5- #238, Jessica (http://img480.imageshack.us/img480/6005/238jessica614069nv.jpg)! :-D

Double Prices- That should've been won. No excuses.

Showcase- Anthony, Anthony, Anthony... lowballing is not how you win.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY- Anthony.

SHOW SUMMARY AND GRADE- Despite the evil pricing games, this was a pretty good show... Grade: 3

2 Prices of 1- A nice way to start the day.

Plinko- Ugh! That could have not been played any worse. For what it was worth, I felt really bad for Jared.

Any Number- ouch! That ended before it had started. At least Douglas didn't win the piggy bank.

Grocery Game- Karen played Very well.

That's Too Much- ugh! Why is it  that as of late Everyone seems to stop one short?


Well I'm off to the Big Sky state tomorrow.Have a nice day!

Wow, wondeful episode, everything seemed really fun today.  Of course, now that I'm finally finished school and exams, I was able to enjoy the show more today.

I can't say 2 for the Price of 1 was very hard, but I almost picked five for the second digit.

I think I'm getting better.  I knew the second SP in Plinko would be the Dumbo DVD before it was even revealed. :-)

I was so thankful that Rich cued into the Plinko intro off Bob's introduction smoothly.  Now, if he would just do that in all cash games...

Jared was pretty fun, but he was showing off a little too much at the top of the Plinko board.

Speaking of the Plinko board, remind me to ask Roger next Q&A if there's a microphone up there or something.  Somehow the contestants up there are heard pretty well.

Really nice to hear Sam used for the three-digit prize in Any Number.  I almost got lost thinking we were about to play Ten Chances. :-)

Wow, those backdrops have legs to just walk away.

I know some of the display prizes used on the show have been dinged up a bit, but I've never seen a more obviously-damaged prize than the huge dent in the side of the Ford Focus in Any Number.  Wonder why they didn't just turn the car the other way around, unless there was a bigger dent on the other side.

I'm still surprised that Karen managed to win Grocery Game despite having played so pitufully.  The pasta sauce was the product that should have been her last purchase.  At least she didn't buy more than one Capzasin.

Bart doesn't like to reveal Range Game before its prize is revealed, yet he'll reveal Double Prices if it just so happens to get caught even the slightest. :-P

When was the last time Bob aided on a bonus spin?  I can't seem to remember.

2 For the Price of 1: I did not get the details of the small prize; I thought those were bowling equipment, making me say 759. But as soon as I heard Bob say "tools," I thought differently, tooling with 729.

Plink-lo: As soon as I saw that Plunko, my network went Plunko with a breaking special report on a chemical plant fire, which makes me think of a popular video game that features a chemical plant. [Bob's commentary after Any Number gave me the details of this game.]

Any Number: My brother and I immediately picked 4, 5, and 6 as the second number for the car. After seeing 4 and 5 appear for the dining group, I'm thinking this is a plot by the Dob. To me, it was.

One Bid 4: At least I'm not the only one who thought bidding 1 after an overbid while not being the last bidder was stupid.

Grocery Game: At first, I wanted to buy ten of the Rinaldi, but realized I would be in BIG trouble if I did that. I stopped playing along until I totally supported Karen's pick of the TC (kitty) litter.

That's Too Much!: That's Terrible!
I thought $20,159 would be okay, but as soon as I heard that buzzer, "Maybe I should've went one more." I shoulda.

Double Prices: I rushed to the bathroom to fix my mouth. After hearing the prices, I immediately picked $8,998. I figured there was no way the Waverunner could be more than $10,000.

Wow... Grocery Game has actually been won twice in a row now!  Roger can't be enjoying that.  I bet Roger uses all five products over $10.00 next time (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/smile3.txt).

I don't think Amar had much of a clue what he was doing in contestants' row.  Bidding $749 during an overbid when the lowest bid was $750, and bidding $1 as the second bidder... even his $2222 bid, while not technically bad, just screamed "I have no idea what I'm doing!"  I'm glad he didn't get out of contestants' row.

I wouldn't say that Ruth was the best at shouting "That's too much!", but it definitely stood out in its odd little way.

sternal typed:  Grocery Game- Karen played very well.

Starting with one of the pasta sauce wasn't a smart opening move.  She did better after that, granted, but I still wouldn't call it "very well."

heelsrule1988 claimed:  Double Prices- That should've been won. No excuses

I would have lost.  A single prize ending in 999 looks better than a single prize ending in 998, it's that simple (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/smile4.txt).

2 For the Price of 1 – Most people would have chosen the 2nd number as their free number, but it didn’t matter – he won those prizes easily…

Plinko – What rotten luck! It’s as if those plinko chips were magnetically attracted to those “0” slots! It did indeed bring back memories of that woman who “hit bottom”…

Any # - MORE rotten luck! Technically, he only picked 3 #s because the first number in the car is given for free, so 3 #s picked, all 3 end up in the dinette. What kind of a show is this?

Grocery Game – not exactly how most people play the game, but hey, on this day – we could use any win we get…

That’s Too Much! – She was closer than I was. Off by one too. The bad luck just keeps on coming…

Double Prices – No way was that more than $10K. The audience even made their opinion of disapproval after she made her choice.

Showcases – just like yesterday – the more expensive showcase was much cheaper than I thought, the cheaper showcase was more expensive than I thought. While I did OB on the most expensive showcase, I was closer than I was yesterday on the cheaper showcase…

This show was just plain weird. Lots of bad luck – it’s as if this was taped on Friday the 13th, or better yet – 6/6/06…

Did you guys get a chance to see my pop called as the last contestant?   That was pretty sweet!

You might have noticed a few 35th anniversary shirts in the audience, and I think it was because some people either weren't aware that it the premeire episode wasn't going to tape until August or perhaps it was too short notice to change the shirts around.  

Now to today's episode...

Plinko, plinko, plinko.  I mean that was just brutal!  I'm not sure what the guy was thinking after it happened.  I wish he could have sent it down that middle slot at least once though, I mean it was statistically proven that that slot has the highest probability of hitting the 10k.

2 for the price of 1 was well played, I'd think, and I was happy to see Grocy won, but everything else... just unbelieveably stupid decisions.

Could Any Number have been played any worse than it was today?  That had to be the worst I've seen it played all season!

The wheel is certainly being generous again w/ the bonus money... A pretty good show, despite gameplay ineptitude.

Two for the Price of One: Nice win, but I would have taken the second digit for free to be more safe than sorry.

Plinko: Why is it players do so well with the small prizes don't do so well with the board itself? Why?

Any Number: I didn't see most of this because of an EAS test, and I'm kinda glad I did. Well, at least he didn't win the piggy bank that way.

Grocery Game: EXCELLENT playing! Karen is one of the best players I have seen playing this game in a while! Probably the highlight of the show for me.

That's Too Much: Kinda surprised this popped up instead of Card Game, because I was expecting Card Game when the Fusion showed up. Well, at least its more possible to win in this game than Card Game, but that's not saying much.

Double Prices: Too bad. I thought the top one was more right as well.

SSD2: And we have our second $1,000 winner of the day, and it's because of Bob's help!

Showcases: As soon as Anthony bid $17,200, there was no doubt in my mind he had lost. Well, if it's of any consolation, he proabably would have overbid on it had he not bid what he did.

Do they still do those right in the middle of programs?  Aren't those what station breaks are for?

Oh Nick, I have a story for you.  I was at this taping and what happened was as they whisked the backdrop away to reveal the car it SLAMMED into the side of the Ford Focus, leaving a huge dent!  Sort of a Janice moment in reverse.  Clearly the first reveal attempt was edited out...

TTTT, I would have guessed six (6) myself as the third pick for Any Number, as many Ford Focuses are in the $16,000-range. What bad luck.

FWIW — Douglas played the game well, he just picked three numbers that would logically have fit into the car's price but happened to make up the dinette's price. At least he has a decent dinette to spruce up his home.

As for Jared, yeah, he played the small prizes in Plinko! alright, and had some bad luck (with four chips landing in $0). But he took soooooooooooo long in dropping the chips onto the board; that was sooooooooo annoying. Just drop the dang chips and get on with the game, whydoncha?

And actually, it was Amar who had the stupid second bid for the patio heaters; $750 was the lowest bid for the first overbid, and he bid $749. I have never seen an one-bid overbid be just $1 less than the lowest bid in an overbid. (Yeah, I know that sounds confusing, but you'll figure it out) ;-)

I was there for this episode as well, and the stagehands pulled the backdrop too far back and put the dent in the car!!  You could really hear it in the studio, which was why it was reshot after the show was over.  I thought it was hilarious, but Roger & Bob did not seem happy at all.  During the commercial break my friend asked about new pricing games and Penny Ante.  Bob asked Roger about Penny Ante and Roger had said that the problem was almost fixed and would return soon.  As far as the new pricing games, Bob and Roger stated that a new pricing game called "Stack The Deck" would begin taping two weeks from June 8th(the date of today's taping) which is June 22nd.  Bob also stated that two pricing games would also debut in the 35th season as well. So we could very well see the return of Penny Ante and have 3 new pricing games to boot.  This is going to be a productive season.  The show was very fun to attend.  It was awesome to see Plinko played in person. I was hoping to see and knew it was due.  This was another good group to be a part of.  The Grocery Game contestant came over here from El Salvador and she learned english by watching The Price Is Right!!  She was awesome to talk to and I was really happy that she won.  Just again a great show.  

BE SURE TO WATCH ON JUNE 27TH FOR ONE OF GOLDEN-ROAD.NET'S MEMBER ON TPIR!!!  And you can see me again, close up on camera!!

Today's show was good. Two for One was pretty easy, I would have chosen the second digit for free, but I knew it was $729 anyway. Although I enjoy Plinko, it gets so boring when four chips go into the 0 slot, and they only win a small amount of money, it really bugs me. I did notice the legs while moving Phire away with the dinette, and I thought those were dents in the car, I thought at first it was just the lighting.

I didn't like the fact that Karen opened with the sauce, that should have been the last item to pick since it's so cheap. I thought that one cat litter was too much, but I was wrong. I thought that the dinette set was $485, but I knew the first number in the Focus was 7. My initial guess was $17,120.

For That's Too Much, I would have stopped at $19,460. I thought that Ruth went too far, but went one too little. I never would have thought for the car to be $21,275. And I thought that $10,999 was too obvious for Double Prices. I would have went with $8998.

The first segment of the show was glitchy for some reason, it might have been my local CBS station, but I'm not sure. But it's ironic that Bob said at the start of Plinko that if he won $50,000, it would be the last TPiR on CBS. I mean, I don't think that will ever happen. But then, after he said that, he got 4 out of 5 zeros.

2 for 1-I figured the tools were $729.

Plinko-This is why it's my least favorite cash game: cheap amounts being won.  It seems that it's just too hard to win big money nowadays, isn't it? :-?

Any Number: WOW!  I thought it couldn't get any more dismal after the near plinko disaster.  I figured the car was $17K. :-?

Grocery Game: I didn't like how Karen S. went with the cheapest 1st.  I was amazed that she won despite not playing very well. :-?

TTM: I thought stopping at 20K was the right thing to do.

Double Prices: I knew $8998 was correct.

My tape ended there, but I did see the showcase reveals live, and I knew Anthony was way off on the Equinox showcase.

Overall: a very weird and fun show today.

Even with not many wins, today's show was very good.

Even though Grocery Game was won, it wasn't played very well. Picking the pasta sauce first wasn't smart.

The Any Number loss was disappointing. It wasn't really played that badly.

I thought Double Prices was pretty much a tossup.

2 For The Price Of One: Outside of going with the third digit for free, that was pretty well played... The first number was definitely 7, and I was 99% sure the last was 9, so the smart choice would've been to take the middle one...

Still, it worked out for Anthony...

Plinko: *sigh* *groan* *shaking head* Welcome to yet another classic example of why this game doesn't give me a warm, cozy feeling... Third time this year I've seen a contestant drop 5 chips, get four 0's and walk away with $500 (if you count me watching Andrew do so twice)...

Brutal. Just brutal.

Any Number: Ouch... Could be worse: At least Douglas didn't give the 9, the 8 and the 3 as his first three picks... :-?

One-Bid #4: Oy vey.

Grocery Game: Let's hear it for blind luck.. I don't think Karen knew what she was doing - in fact, I'd bet on it after buying one pasta sauce.. But wouldn't you know it, she pulls it off..

That's Too Pink: Once again, one more! One more! One more! A real shame, considering Ruth actually yelled it with some gusto!

Double Prices: Is it wishful thinking? Why is it that everytime one of the prices in this game is over $10,000, it always gets picked, even though it's almost always wrong? :-?

Showcases: Well, at least no reason to worry about a DOB here...

Karen was clearly at least $3,000 too low.. I was thinking $17,500 for hers, personally...

Anthony, though, was way too low... I could swear at one point he flashed "23" at the audience, as if asking whether to bid $23,000.. A shame he didn't... $17,200, obviously, didn't even cover the car... I was guessing $22,000 on it myself...

Logik, your father was the last contestant called? Sweet... A shame he didn't make his way up on stage...

That's pretty funny that they smashed up the Focus with the backdrop.. Whoops! I was wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me, or if that was a dent... :lol:

I'd have loved to see him spin the big wheel, but he wound up with some very nice parting gifts, including that elusive cordless telephone from the ISC.  I had no idea parting gifts were almost 500 dollars!

The dent on the Focus was very noticeable.  If they were going to reshoot the piece, I cannot imagine why they wouldn't have turned it around.  I also thought it was just the lighting at first; I waited until they showed the entire car again until I realized that it certainly was a dent!  

Why would they reshoot it?  On Tyra Banks's show, she had an interview with Barker.  He said that if mistakes happen on the show, they let it onto the air.  (Namely, Janice's disasters!)  I wonder why they didn't leave it alone so we could have seen Bob's and the contestant's reactions.

PG #3 - They played the "Sam" cue and we're not playing 10 Chances?!  What's up with that?!  LOL!  Dented car alert!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  And speaking of $500 Stinkos, that's the first time in a long time that a contestant lit up all three numbers in the middle prize without lighting up anything else.

PG #4 - That was one of the worst playings of Grocery Game ever, yet somehow, she won the game.  I'd understand if a contestant went 1 Capzasin, 1 [d]Tiddy[/d] Tidy Cats, and 1 sauce... but going for the "1 sauce" first was just plain dumb.  Personally, I thought that she was screwed after she went "1 sauce, 1 Capzasin".  I thought that was the $7.47 jug of cat litter.

PG #5 - That's Too Cheap!  Ford Fusion = hybrid car = $$$$$.  You can't get any base-model hybrids from any car company for under 20 Gs.

PG #6 - Nice job spoiling Double Prices, Bart.  And how was this game lost today, anyway?

SCSD #2 - Another showcase with two $1,000 Big Wheel winners.  Anthony spun the wheel a little too soft.  Bob and Karen spun the wheel a little too hard.  If we could just average their spin strengths...

My showcase bids - Starcrossed:  $13,400.  Car:  $22,900.

2F1: Simple enough, and he was smart enough to use the last digit as a free digit. Very well done!

Plinko: I have to echo the sentiments of above. This game needs an infusion, better luck, OR SOMETHING! 500 bucks for 5 chips totally sucks.

Any #: That guy looked like a Randy West double! Lol, when he first bid I thought it was Randy, but Mr. West is ineligible (since he was on Freemantle's payroll a few years ago). No numbers in the bank, or the car, straight 3 across the prize. When was the last time that happened?

Grocery: Wow, interesting way to play it. Especially with that Damn Capsazin, I figured she would pick 2 and go over, but she played rather well, just a weird way I guess. When (if ever) was the last time a contestant used all 5 items in the GC? I thought we were heading that way for sure.

TTM: I thought the fusion was a bit shy under 20k, or it could have been with different features? Anyways, the ole "day late/dollar short" syndrome, once again. Seems like we had a quite a few wins early in the season, I guess it's correcting itself for that.

DP: Clearly the 10k price was high, duh!

Ok show, no real big moments or events to speak of. Maybe the way Grocery Game was played could be the highlight of the show?

Seriously, people:  why was Double Prices so "obvious"?  The wrong price was only $2000 higher than the right price:  essentially $9000 versus $11,000.  And the wrong price looked better:  $x999 looks better than $x998.  So why, please tell, was the game so "obviously" easy, 'cause I sure didn't think it was.

Was it just me, or did Bob seem a little off today?  He didn't really do anything wrong, but there were a lot of times where he seemed to be grasping for words or not phrasing things quite the way he usually does.

The two games that were won today weren't really played very well.  2 for the Price of 1 would have been a lot easier if Anthony had asked for the second number...and I'm truly amazed that Karen won Grocery Game, because she clearly didn't have any idea how she was supposed to play it.

It's too bad Jared didn't win more than $500 in Plinko, because he was pretty clearly a true fan who was having a good time regardless of what happened to him.

Holy...they actually used Sam in Any Number!  When the heck was the last time that happened?!

And Any Number itself was just strange.  I don't think Roger did this intentionally, but considering what car was being played for, what ended up happening today wasn't really all that far-fetched.

That's ridiculous.  She plainly had no idea what she was doing; the fact that she won was pure luck.

I don't think Amar had much of a clue what he was doing in contestants' row. Bidding $749 during an overbid when the lowest bid was $750, and bidding $1 as the second bidder... even his $2222 bid, while not technically bad, just screamed "I have no idea what I'm doing!" I'm glad he didn't get out of contestants' row.


Amazingly, I think you actually liked him better than I did.

Aside from guessing 4 while clearly looking for the first number, I don't think it was played badly at all.  It's not like Focuses are known for being expensive.

That's Too Much: Kinda surprised this popped up instead of Card Game, because I was expecting Card Game when the Fusion showed up.


You shouldn't have been, seeing as said Fusion was behind Door #3.

Bobbo, Sternal regarding Grocery Game: "EXCELLENT playing?" "Played very well?" Baloney.

While she had the good sense not to pick more than one of each, did you two notice that Karen S. was employing the classic "point and look to the peanut gallery" bit? She hadn't any idea what to do. That is not playing the game. That is letting the audience play the game for you.

Playing a game very well means you Do Not poll 'them', rather you do as much of your own thinking as possible. Otherwise, Barker's willing to let you dig your own grave.

did any body note what i said after the first sentences that I felt bad for jared. i thought jared guess was perfect on the button. I felt jared's should have won more money.

As far as joe question yes i did notice the finger pointing but at the time I had thought at the time she was lookig suggestion. i guess I should had paid more attention!

Jared was an excellent contestant.  I thoroughly enjoyed him and felt real bad for him at the same time.  Nothing he did wrong.

Any Number's segment was just...strange.

This was definitely a show that had to make you say "How did that happen?"

While Douglas probably should've thrown in a 0 (and maybe the other 1) it wouldn't have helped him here.  He knew what he was doing, but....wow.

I think we can safely say we've NEVER seen a Grocery Game win quite like today's.

Pricing Game Length:
The time of the game begins at the moment a prize is revealed for the game, or the game itself is shown (Double Prices).

2 for the Price of 1 -- 2:38
Pl!nko! -- 5:12
Any Number -- 1:54
Grocery Game -- 2:25
That's Too Much -- 2:08
Double Prices -- 1:09

Why did the losing horns play for the Double Prices loss?  I thought that they didn't sound in this game, but I could be wrong.

That's not really the gripe I have about it anymore. Roger's gotten better about not overplaying it, so I'm pleased to see that. To me, though, it just seems like it's lost its luster. When I was a kid, it used to be awesome. I went nuts whenever Rod said, "you're going to play... Plinko!" But now, it seems like it's no fun anymore. Nobody ever wins that much now. I don't know, it's just not the same as it used to be to me.

Frank, the reason I disliked the decision to go with $10,999 is price ranges... We've seen our share of $9,000 and change Waverunners on the show, but we haven't seen any $10,000+ ones... That was why the "odd" looking $8,998 looked better to me than $10,999...

The dent on the Focus was very noticeable.  If they were going to reshoot the piece, I cannot imagine why they wouldn't have turned it around.

They reshot it immediately after the act ended, since the car and dinette were already on hand. It would have been more difficult and time-consuming to find someplace to hold the dinette, car, and backdrops offstage (instead of immediately returning them to the warehouse, like they'd normally do), wait until the show was over, move the showcase prizes out of the way, and set everything back up for the reshoot. So even though the car was dented on that side, it was faster to hope that most people wouldn't notice.

PIR85 wrote:
Why would they reshoot it?  On Tyra Banks's show, she had an interview with Barker.  He said that if mistakes happen on the show, they let it onto the air.

Because on the first take, when Rich said, "A new car!", the dinette was still completely blocking the view of the car. A couple of seconds later, they were able to reposition it and move it out of the way to reveal the (now-dented) car. You can hear kind of an audio shift where suddenly everybody starts reacting well after "A new car!". The contestant's reaction looked a little delayed, too, since he couldn't see the car until that point. Bob didn't mention the moment at all because he knew that they would never keep that take.
