Over the last few days we've seen much discussion (and consternation) about this, but whether you're ready for it or not, the Pricetrust proudly presents ...

APRIL FOOLS PRICE III: THE TAKEOVER

Seems Drew's nemesis Mimi Bobeck (Kathy Kinney) wasn't satisfied enough to be a model on last year's epic, or the patron saint of the "First Four" Breakfast Club. Oh, no. She's power hungry. As of today she's the Executive Producer of Price and Drew is on her list. Her first executive decision: replacing Rich with a guy in a money suit, reassigning the regular models - Gwen became a page, Rachel is a stagehand, Manuela became a commoner. And, to top it off, she brought in what the ladies want...beefcake. A tall guy (Michael Sielaff), a construction worker (James Mercado), a nerd (A.B. Fonfana) and a confused old guy (Alan Gray) who kinda looks like the leader of ZZ Top on retirement.

There's some other crazy stuff that happens, suffice to say you should watch the show if you can. But amidst new management...the show goes on...

Well, all I can say is, last year's show was certainly better.

Otm Shank:
Two word summary: Not bad.

Quite amusing, the jokes were not played out to death. Things progressed along nicely. Everyone seemed to get in the "spirit" of the day.

One thing that is my slight negative: It's likely the one and only time these contestants will be on TV -- and they have to go by "Pat." Just like the April Fool's episode with the Groucho glasses: their one moment on TV and their true self is hidden. I would've liked them to drop the pretense for a few seconds and let them introduce the "real" person.

Did I blink or were the "not appearing on stage" prizes edited out?

Off_trak:
I liked the humour in today's show.. It wasn't as wacky as last year, but I got several laughs out of the gags. The only thing that really raised my eyebrow was: if a Double Showcase Win had happened, two Cabo trips, two Romes, and two F-150's.. (plus the Mini, of course). I would have preferred to see a single 'Vette as the prize of the second showcase. But I still thought the idea of it was funny, when they presented it.

FieldsFan336:
I thought it was a great show!  I was surprised that I was the only one in chat who got the connection of the SPs offered in Plinko (they were all As Seen on TV products)
