TPiR Recap - 10/11/2012

[PriceBusterXL]

So was this Ten Chances playing even WORSE than, I think her name was Joy from the Barker era?  THAT was bad! LOL!

Joe

But unlike Sherrie, she did win it, though.

The expression on Bob's face was priceless!

I must say, when played decently, 10 Chances can be a fun game to watch. However, when the contestant is getting suggestions from the peanut gallery, especially those that give the contestant bad suggestsions like 47 and 605, then it could result in some viewers throwing words and remotes (or other objects).

Jordan can really use that boat in Chicago. I can just imagine her staying at the Hampton Inn and taking public transporation up north to see Blue Man Group. (Getting a little homesick here.)

Just having 10 Chances played is good for me, the play, though I would like to pass [preposition].

And El Cheapo claims his first victim this week.

Well, the good thing about getting all 5 chips in Plinko is that, even if the big money doesn't pan out, there's a good chance of leaving with a decent amount like $3,500 today.

Wow, 10 Chances was a disaster. Neither the contestant nor the person giving her prices had any idea how the game is played. Though the setup of that middle prize didn't help matters at all, and the car was likely going to eat up chances as Mini Coopers tend to be overpriced.

Yes, I always scream "Somebody pick El Cheapo, dammit!" when it's an option in Money Game.  But with $20,4xx shown, I didn't think there was any way Mike would pull a stunt like that with El Cheapo being 04.  Seriously, an 04 after an 04?  That was just... wrong.

Anybody know the last time somebody won exactly $3,500 in Plinko?

I'm starting to give up on 10 Chances again.

On the bright side, a couple of lucky players won a total of $12,000 off the Big Wheel.

Oh, and in case some of ya'll weren't in chat on Thursday...

My showcase bids:
Tripcase--$27,107 ( )
--$30,107 ( )

QSW #2 for me!

[vadernader]

Anybody know the last time somebody won exactly $3,500 in Plinko?

The closest in the Carey era has been $3,600 on 1/25/2008.
