It's all worth it if it makes Drew suddenly turn into a funny comic instead of a bumbling host. Sure, he wasn't great when doing the hosting stuff, he never will be.

I totally disagree.  Drew can be a good host; he just isn't most of the time.  The last week or so, he's been doing a pretty decent job, and all the distractions on this episode caused that to fly out the window for the day.  I just hope he's back on top of his game today (stupid thing to post during the day's broadcast, I know, but I'm watching it on tape tonight because I have to go to work in a few minutes).

It wasn't the disaster I was afraid it was going to be...although I have a feeling that's because most of the disastrous stuff was edited out (there was clearly a ton of editing today).

I noticed they edited out the turntable motor noise when Mimi first spun around on the air version.  It was left in the preview clip.


I would have loved to have seen an appearance by Julia Sweeney as Pat....

She's made it pretty clear she's not interested in performing Pat again.  Also, Julia lives in Illinois now... that would be a pretty expensive cameo to pull off.

It sounded to me like the calldowns were edited in.  Maybe they had their real names called in the studio.

The call downs were edited in just two days before this show aired.  Originally, I understand that the calldown was phrased:  "Pat, Move it!" for each of the 9 contestants.  A decision was made to change it to "Pat, Come on Down" just recently, resulting in some costly editing expenses.

I don't know how people can say that this show was better than last years.  There was really nowhere to go but down after that amazing show.

This one passed, but the Pat joke was really bad.  When Mimi has to explain the joke, you know it doesn't work.

I was glad to see that Kathy/Kathy decided to make the setups fairly easy.

Although the themed products might be funny today, I would like to see them less on regular shows (still keep Scott employed though).

The One Away bit was funny, as were the male models and the hiding of the real models throughout the show.

The second showcase fooled me, and was probably one of the best things on the show this year.

On the other hand, the 2nd showcase WAS THE FRIGGIN BOMB...[Drew's] hosting was good.
The Pat crap totally made this show blow and blow hard. 

Those are mutually exculsive.  I guess you didn't like the show at all, but liked parts?

I guess I have a good ear then.  I'm glad they changed it.  It would have sounded too rude the other way.

Did anybody else notice that it looked like every Pat in the audience got a free copy of Kathy Kinney's book?

I can't believe so many people are so pissed off at the "Pat" gag... It was April 1st! The whole idea of this day is to pull pranks and keep people off balance. I liked the idea of the gag running throughout the whole show. The entire show was tongue planted firmly in cheek, the best example of that being the male models. For years, people have asked and even demanded the show have men model the prizes. This episode was the show's way of saying with a wink and a smile, "do you really want the Beauties replaced with men?" I felt this year's episode was much more purposely subtle in the humour, compared to last year's zaniness.

Am I the only person here who still sees the rather significant problem with the showcases?

You're absolutely right....if this were to go beyond one day.

In chat, I recall Willy made a comment that if Pat #2 were a LFAT, then he would bid the same as Pat #1.  It struck me how incredibly awesome that would be....until they revealed the MINI.

So, there are some interesting strategic arguments for a case like this.  But, given it was just one day, are they really worth going over?

I can't believe so many people are so pissed off at the "Pat" gag... It was April 1st! The whole idea of this day is to pull pranks and keep people off balance.

If you have read all the comments above, it should be clear to you that even the producers had second thoughts about the gag.  Just ask yourself if you would feel OK with being called Pat on national television, your one chance to shine on TV.  And if you still think it is cute, then so be it.

Loved the models.  Loved SC2.  One Away made me chuckle some.  Pat annoyed me.

Here in LA area, it's prempted because the local news is covering pre-Lakers championship parade that will take place later.  Maybe they'll show the episode afterwards?

I doubt it seeing as it's a rerun anyways and it wasn't a nationwide preemption.. It's not that special of an epside anyways..

Because of this repeat I just ordered a set of that Heys luggage (for SIGNIFICANTLY less on Amazon) so that can be filed under the "things you've bought because of PIR" category.
I apologise in advance.
