Wow, not the best show today, especially with the double overbid (although at least it was followed by the losing horns!).

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

All I can is say is that Nadine ruined today for all of us, especially Mark. Her playing of Pathfinder was "path"-etic.

Plus, Cynthia should've relied on distance when it came to winning those trips on Switch?:

L.A. to Cabo San Lucas: 921.67 miles

L.A. to Vancouver: 1,087 miles

She should've switched instead.

You know, it's REALLY disappointing they have been unable to put together a Good Friday show at all so far, and frankly don't care to.

^You'd expect Vancouver to be cheaper since it's colder, those distances are essentially equal.

Vancouver's average temperature is 11° C (51.8° F), so by all accounts a fairly moderate climate.

I don't think they let contestants' use google maps to calculate exact distances....

Also, it fooled everyone in chat today, Trips to Cabo 6n @ Pueblo Bonito have been on the show before and been $6k-$7k and Trips to Vancouver @ Westin have been $5k-$6k.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Nadine win the bread maker in Pathfinder? If so, then the total should be $29,039.

You are correct, surprised nobody saw this before because looking back, it seems like Adam miscalculated most Recaps that have an SP Game in them. :|

Today's show seemed pretty down with only 2 wins for 6. Anne coulda won pathfinder which was so winnable today but she made a wrong choice with the car saying it was higher when she was supposed to say lower. Without one wrong price or pushover won we woulda had a failure of a show because not only would it be an el skunko but a double overbid with an el skunko.

Well, the nice setups are REALLY over now, as anyone who watched today can see. Just not much going on in this show, at all. Except, why do we need to force a double overbid on the fifth taping of the season? Mike rarely ever forces a DOB as blatantly as he did today. That SC2 had a whole lot of nothing in it, but I felt it still might reach 20 somehow (they always do) to at least have a chance. But wow. Still, I didn't terribly enjoy that, but if it's part of the master plan to distribute things better throughout the season, then OK, fine. I somehow doubt that though...

Oh yeah, the lineups for these "first two weeks of the season" are just weird. Cover skipping both of the first two weeks, while Pathfinder and Gas Money get played two weeks in a row? L7 and TTM both take the 2nd week off? It's going to take awhile to figure out what's going on here, but I'm not sure I'm gonna like it if Pathfinder gets played 20+ times...

Timings:
Grand Game (5) - 3:40
One Wrong Price (3.5) - 3:06
Pathfinder (6) - 5:27
Switch? (3.5) - 3:54
Push Over (4) - 3:43
More Or Less (5.5) - 5:41
Total (27.5): 26:31

Horrible end to the week except for Push Over & One Wrong Price, IMHO.

Adam thinks we're still playing FPG. :-(

This was a show. Yeah. That's it.

So nice to see the Chrysler 200 overpriced for the 1500th time.
