One can't help but wonder if Bob would have given Jennifer the win on Cliffhangers. Yodely Guy clearly stopped for a few seconds on the last step and everyone had thought she won. Not saying it warranted a win, but I felt like it was one of those cases where Bob would've given one anyway.I don't think so. When I saw something like that happen in an episode from 1986-87 (where a contestant lost on the first prize), Bob didn't give the contestant the win.
Plus, in the season 11 finale, on the last SP, the Yodely Guy went up his last 10 steps and stopped on 25. The contestant guessed $22. The ARP was $37. She missed it by $15, but the Yodely Guy did not go over at all (unlike in this episode, when he only stopped for about half a second before he fell over), and it was too exciting, they gave her the win, anyway.

Not saying it warranted a win, but I felt like it was one of those cases where Bob would've given one anyway.What are you talking about? The stagehand made a mistake, and the playing was 4 10 12 - 26. You can't possibly give a tech on that (and I hope Bob never did either).
Anyways... god dammit Gas, I got excited for a moment there. Why did she have to lose on what is a cheap looking car...
Post by: PriceBusterXL on May 24, 2013, 01:28:01 PM
THE BAD NEWS:
Cliffhangers: Can't believe we had a fake-out when Hans looked like he was about to tip over. Nevertheless, that really sucked for Jennifer and I really doubt a tech win should be awarded to her because of that, unfortunately, seeing that it might have been a mechanical problem............But dressing Hans in a firefighters uniform and giving him a pick-axe, that was cool. A little gimmicky, but cool.
Gas Money: At first I thought that Katherine was gonna pick that $14K+ price since I thought that might have been the car price. Too bad she picked the $15,595 one. On the bright side, at least today's playing last a lot longer than the previous ones. While no wipeout, it was quite a nail-biter hoping it would have its first win this season, but to no avail.
Danger Price: Had a feeling the bags would do Brandon in.
THE NOT-SO-BAD NEWS:
Clock Game: Emmanuel came so close on the camping gear, but a grand on the wheel and F-150 really did make it up. Sure was a good SC bid!
THE GOOD NEWS:
Switch?: Easy win for Brian!
Line 'Em Up: Thanks to Joseph, a car game washout was averted! I was totally off on that when I thought that $18,750 was the right price, which was Joseph's 1st guess. Good thing he changed the 8 and the 5, for the win..............A ode to joy for him! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RLPG88u3lM)
While it was only two wins, I really did enjoy it and it wasn't that bad, and the firefighters really had a good time.

Overall a pretty mediocre episode, good contestants and a great win in Line!

Honestly, I think that would get Bob into a heap of trouble. This was fair & square, and S&P would have had something to say if Bob just gave her the win for a 1 second stop on 25 before falling over.
Anyways... god dammit Gas, I got excited for a moment there. Why did she have to lose on what is a cheap looking car...
People tend to overprice cars on a regular basis in games like this, it seems. Especially when its the 1st or 2nd cheapest price out of all 5.
Post by: Bobby McBride on May 24, 2013, 01:35:29 PM
S?: As easy as it will get.
GM: Another heartbreaker- Katharine played that so well.
Clock: Yet another close loss.
LeU: NO Car Game Shutout this week- WTG, Joseph!
Danger: Not as close as the other losses today.
Showcases: I wasn't surprised the boat Showcase was worth more than the truck one- those Glastrons are pretty expensive. Emmanuel would've been a DSW if he had added another $1K to his bid.
Not a bad way to go into the break.
Post by: Swingbatta0 on May 24, 2013, 01:44:33 PM
Switch: Piece of cake!
Gas Money: Cheapest multiple of 5 strikes again. At least it was down to the wire.
Clock Game: Again, so close! But thankfully, Emmanuel made up for all that and won $1,000 in the Showcase Showdown, and a Ford F-150 in the Showcase!
Line 'em Up: Way to avert a car-game-shutout!
Danger Price: I was hoping for the TV to be the Danger Price, but boy, was I wrong.
I knew this week would end with a bang.

The person on stage clearly screwed up, leading to the contestant and the audience thinking she won. I'll have to go back and watch it again later, but I believe Drew initially thought she won, too (please correct me on that if I'm wrong).
All I'm saying is, Bob gave away a prize to a contestant that blatantly cheated and didn't even play the game, yet S&P didn't have an issue with that...This was someone on the show making a mistake.

I can't tell if this arguing in favor of or against what I said.

So you're saying that they should have awarded the contestant the prize that she lost, fair and square, because of the reaction?
Note to self: if I end up on the show, lose, but jump around as if I had won, Todd will think S&P should award me the prize anyway.

This was actually a decent special. Pretty creative lineup, fairly open setups and some good contestants. Gas was still hard but it was hard in a different, fairer way than usual (by not being an extreme) and we actually got to see it PLAYED today, which was nice. Although I'm not sure how she lost once she eliminated 16 - that was really the trap price there. Other than that, it was actually refreshing in a way to see Cliff Hangers and Clock Game get LOST, just for a change of pace (and Pick A Pair all in the same week - what gives?). The dramatic Line win was nice too. Just one of those days that everything came together well on a special instead of being a mess, which was good to see.
Timings:
Cliff Hangers (4.5) - 4:37
Switch? (3.5) - 3:41
Gas Money (5.5) - 4:38
Clock Game (4.5) - 5:37
Line 'em Up (5.5) - 4:44

There's no need to be an arrogant ass about it. That's completely not what I said and you damn well know it.
There's a difference between everything going smoothly and everything not going smoothly and confusing the hell out of everyone.

That was a different situation. That segment to be corrected would have to be redone completely, getting a new prize for the game, getting new cards to put into the prop, and re-shooting the IUFB reveal. Rather than go through all that mess, Bob pretty much had to just give it to him and move on. S&P Didn't have a problem because while all of us know he clearly cheated, there was room for him to play dumb and pretend he didn't know.
What happened today is slightly unusual but not to the point where it warranted giving her the prize. Something comparable would be a Plinko chip hanging on the edge of the $10,000 slot but falling into $0.
There was also a time when I recall this season (I believe) a Squeeze Play setup had a lot of repeating digits, and when Drew originally revealed the price he said "YOU GOT IT!" or something like that because he thought they won, but they had actually lost and Drew mis-read it. They lost the game and were not awarded the prize.
I get where you are coming from though, I just don't think it's something that warrants it.
Post by: Todd on May 24, 2013, 04:20:13 PM

Oh, I agree. My original point was just that I felt Bob may have given her the prize today. If Yodely Guy would've just stopped for a split second, it would be different. But he clearly stopped at 25 for a few seconds and it was just enough for everyone to think "oh, she won!"

But he clearly stopped at 25 for a few seconds and it was just enough for everyone to think "oh, she won!"Well, just like in that 1986-87 episode I talked about (the Yodely Guy stopped for about 2 seconds before falling over, and the contestant had lost on the first SP), Bob wouldn't have given it to this one, anyway. The Yodely Guy only stopped for a mere half second before falling off.

That's happened a handful of times since Drew became host, actually. It's one thing if the contestant thinks they won but the host leading the contestant that way shouldn't reflect the show's approach.
As for Cliff Hangers, it's not unlike a big win negated in Pyramid's Winner Circle because the winning clue was illegal. There's that brief moment of joy then immediately afterward or during a commercial break, the judge catches on and the show has to explain itself. I'd be pissed if that happened to me but rules are rules.
Post by: UniquePerspective on May 24, 2013, 05:12:15 PM
Cliff Hangers: I never remember a time watching in the modern era where somebody lost by a dollar. That's gotta suck. And to Todd's point, I think the fact that after a second or two Yodelly Firefighter went off the cliff without any dings probably took away any confusion once it was seen. And as I think other people have said, she still missed the prices by more than $25, so only so much that could be done.
Switch: Not much I can say here. I think it was set up for a win, and thankfully it was.
Gas: I'm actually kind of surprised that in her thinking she left herself to 15 and 17. I would have thought that she would have left it with two prices that were closer to each other. Still, that's the closest we've been in Gas in awhile I believe, so while it's good for that, it makes the loss sadder.
Clock Game: I feel nerves probably got the best of Emmanuel here, particularly with the fact that both prizes, he seemed to start with a consistent pattern, and then he either assumed it was in a certain area or just lost focus on his pattern.
Line 'Em Up: I'll give credit here, I honestly think I would have had no chance at this one, I probably would have been stubbornly convinced that the car was 18k, so well done to Joseph.
Danger Price: I can understand entirely why that was lost. To me this seemed like the hardest set up of the day, particularly because most of the chat felt it was the TV.
Showcases: The show hasn't had a Glastron in awhile, has it? That's sort of why I bid under Stagey, not thinking that Glastron had particular value to it. I also wonder how inflated St. Croix was. Glad Emmanuel got his truck though.
Overall...meh. Something about the contestants made me feel like generally speaking it was a bit lower energy and enthusiasm, or I just couldn't connect with these people this time. Other than that, nothing horrible, just average.

I'd be pissed if that happened to me but rules are rules.
Moments where Bob awards prizes for reasons such as technical wins, stagehand mishaps, for some reason show how much less strict TPIR is compared to Wheel of Fortune's bonus round. Quite frequently during bonus round last second solves, I would sometimes see Pat cut to commercial break because the judges have to review the tape of the contestant's solves because of the rule that the solve must have been attempted before or on the buzzer. Sometimes Pat and the contestant even celebrates if they thought they won, but then seconds later the judges tell pat to stop and cut to commercial for the off-screen review.
If the judges at WoF were the same as TPIR and if the yodeler had stopped at 25, it would not surprise me if all of a sudden they force Drew to make an announcement along the likes of "after reviewing the tape, you have missed the price of the 3 items by $26 instead of $25 therefore we have taken away the prize from you".

In any case, if there is a tech win on the BR, they throw out the whole segment and redo the BR.
Post by: ThatDonGuy on May 24, 2013, 06:22:21 PM
I don't think so. When I saw something like that happen in an episode from 1986-87 (where a contestant lost on the first prize), Bob didn't give the contestant the win.I remember one where he went over on the second item, but it turned out he should have stopped on the 25, and I'm pretty sure Bob gave that contestant the win. Also, from that point on, it seemed as if he would stop on 24 1/2 instead of 25...
What happened today is slightly unusual but not to the point where it warranted giving her the prize. Something comparable would be a Plinko chip hanging on the edge of the $10,000 slot but falling into $0.Or, in the days before they had the clear cover at the bottom of the board, the chip landing in the $10,000, tipping over, and then sliding into the zero.
Then again, almost certainly the reason that cover is now there is because a chip did tip over and slide into a different slot, but it went from zero to 10,000 instead of the other way around. (BTW, the contestant did get the $10,000 for that.)

In any case, if there is a tech win on the BR, they throw out the whole segment and redo the BR.
I've heard of bonus round puzzles getting thrown out because of Pat exulting after he thinks he heard a contestant say the solution which is understandable. I don't see how they can throw a bonus puzzle out because they can't discern whether or not an answer was said before the buzzer with the technology to review so sophisticated.

Well, just like in that 1986-87 episode I talked about (the Yodely Guy stopped for about 2 seconds before falling over, and the contestant had lost on the first SP), Bob wouldn't have given it to this one, anyway. The Yodely Guy only stopped for a mere half second before falling off.
I don't think a win should have been awarded in that 80's Cliffhangers playing. I wonder if there is a You Tube showing of it?

Cliffy was definitely painful, especially with how for a moment it seemed like Yodely Guy had just barely avoided doom... but nope, he took that one extra step off. Oh well, it's not like Cliffy is starved of wins.

What are you talking about? The stagehand made a mistake, and the playing was 4 10 12 - 26. You can't possibly give a tech on that (and I hope Bob never did either).
Oh, you most certainly can, and there's definitely precedent for "awarding the prize because we accidentally made it look like she won," although I'm not sure said precedent comes from Cliff Hangers.
I can't tell if this arguing in favor of or against what I said.
Yeah...Swingbatta's first post was, to put it kindly, incoherent.
So you're saying that they should have awarded the contestant the prize that she lost, fair and square, because of the reaction?
No, that's not what he's saying, and you and I both know you don't even think that's what he was saying. Stop creating drama for the sake of creating drama.

Pics/Video were posted somewhere when.....someone got the $1 total,
(either 1st/2nd spin) with the pointer nestled against the peg. Amidst the celebration,
the pointer flipped over to the the next spot. Bob felt that it had rested on the winning
spot long enough, and let the $1 stand.
I can't remember how long ago or where it was posted, but there is indeed precedent.
After 41 yrs, I'm sure there's other precedent besides this.

(Then again, I might have that whole Grocery Game thing backwards...that was a goofy sequence of events.)

Not at all what I had in mind, really...I was thinking of the cash register in Grocery Game malfunctioning. One is Bob just jumping the gun; the other is the staff actually causing a screw-up that made a loss be displayed as a win.
(Then again, I might have that whole Grocery Game thing backwards...that was a goofy sequence of events.)
The staff pressing the button to make the Honk sound for a fifth time is an error on their part too, not Bob/Drew jumping the gun. :P
