TPiR Recap - 5/8/2012

[BRB_TheFireball]

Magic # and Barker's Bargain Bar were frequently played for a trip and another prize through Season 36 (of course, Barker's Bargain Bar was also played for two trips on occasion).

Magic # and Safe Crackers are the obvious exception to that rule, since those games are typically a trip with an associated cheap prize (such as luggage, sunglasses, a supply of suntan lotion, or a camera).  But Bargain Bar/Game, Switch?, and especially 1 Right Price should never be played for one trip and a different prize.

And 3-prizers (1 Wrong Price and Most Expensive) with one trip and two different prizes is just wrong (which is something that we actually saw a couple of seasons ago).

Absolutely brutal Pocket Change. It was just so frustrating to watch.
