TPiR Recap - 4/28/2011

[GameShowKid]

I liked Wilhelmina. She seemed genuine and nice. I was hoping she would win much more than $500 in Plinko.

Wow, all of the bids from contestants row were under $1000. That surprised me. In fact, all of the items up for bids (one-bids) were priced (well) under $1000! When's the last time that happened? (Roger?  LFAT here.    )

This was another decent show in what has been a decent week.

Yeah, we've got a sudden spate of wins - a lot of good contestants.  Liliana was dynamite at Check Out. She was far off on one item. But take out the barbecue sauce and she would have been about 20 cents away.

Missed one of the IUFBs due to weather reports.

I was trying to read lips. I think Dylan said the same thing about the 82 inch TV that I did: "Holy crap!" It was nice to see Wilhemina bounces back from a poor showing on Plinko.

Trip to Brainerd - $13,603
Sea Doo Boat - $17,599

Ok...I'm more confused than ever now.

Let's just say the trio of Kev, vader & I have different sources on some of these prices than whinbaby. It's a hard science to ace these prices, but we do our best.

Idk...I think whinbaby might actually be right.  http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,17043.30.html has that boat at the same price, and even if that boat was 21k (which is what vader thought it was), that would mean the trip to Costa Rica was only about $1500.  That is assuming, of course, that this is the same boat on both shows.

Why can't they just put the prices of the showcase prizes in the credits?   It would make it a lot easier.

Like I said before, not the same boat. That one had a 155HP engine, this one had a 255HP.

Alright...got it.  By the way, where did you get the price?  The Ski-Doo website?

Having spent way too much of last night after I watched the show trying (and failing) to beat the last boss of Metroid Prime*, let me just say that there is no way More or Less was supposed to end any earlier than the car.  That was the easiest setup for that game in ages.

*Beat the sucker tonight in one try.

Injected = 155HP
High Output = 255HP

Thanks for that!  I can see the difference tripping up a lot of people.  I wonder if that's the first time they've used the High Output model...
