I guess Drew entering from the audience was pretty much the highlight today. At least we didn't have an absolute skunking with a DOB in the showcases.

[CheckGameMeBob]

I got really excited when Drew entered from the audience (hoping for a 3 strikes playing).  But, today's show was a fiasco.  Better luck tomorrow, I guess.

[vadernader]

The return of the audience entrance, finally! Although it would have been neat to see a turntable entrance, this one was much better for nostalgia. A pretty bad episode otherwise, Gas Money was particularly painful. Nobody in chat won, with most thinking it was $19,000  or $21,000 and at the end a unanimous pick was $22,385 being the car price.

I know some people will get really annoyed by the DSW range change if even for just 1 episode, but I mean....it is just one episode. It's not a huge deal in my opinion, and as it turns out was irrelevant in this instance.

Some pretty tough setups, Lucky Seven was as evil as can be expected and Make Your Move was about as hard as I've seen in some time. Check-Out seems fine, not too difficult but no push over by any means. Freeze Frame was essentially a toss-up depending on the day, and Gas Money could easily have been won as it was not just the lowest price of the 5. Do the Math was pretty difficult, though, as I believe most contestants would have said + as well. (A lot of the chatroom today lost, for what it is worth)

[DJTorgo]

It's a good thing Lucky Seven is a favorite and a great lead-off hitter!

[Prizes]

It's a good thing Lucky Seven is a favorite and a great lead-off hitter!

Not to mention, the Superior Showcase™ was won today!

[JustBecause]

It's a good thing Lucky Seven is a favorite and a great lead-off hitter!

Don't forget Do The Math! Not only is it a fantastic game, it makes for an enjoyable closer!

Seriously though, even though the results produced a skunking, I thought this was an alright show.   

[TinoStar11]

After yesterday's good show , we're bound for a stinker and we got one today.
Had to watch the audience entrance on their Youtube Channel. The beginning got interrupted by the weatherman talking about how cold it is.

[Schfifty]

Well, another skunked show. There's not a lot of positives to this episode, in my opinion, except for Drew's audience entrance. Great to see it return today.

There were a few hard setups (like Make Your Move with three possible choices for the trip, all within $2,000 of each other) and some fairly easy ones (the jet boat in Freeze Frame, anyone?). The evilest setup would definitely have to be Lucky $even with the big drop from 8 to 3, then ending with -9. It was just a nasty playing today.

Overall, today's show was just a big clutter of losses. Hopefully the rest of UDecide Week will have more exciting wins.

Not to mention, the Superior Showcase™ was won today!

You know when you have trip to a place we haven't seen before, a fancy-looking bedroom, and a Versa, you're going to expect people saying it was better than the other one.

Speaking of which, what was so cheap in that second showcase? Was it because there was no length given on the boat?

[PriceBusterXL]

So...That happened. (sheepish laugh) Thank you, Mardi Gras coverage. 

THE BOTTOM LINE:

SKUNKED!!!!

[wildbill0962]

Make Your Move is fun to watch

In all seriousness, it was fun seeing Drew enter from the audience. Thanks, voters. Definitely would be bit to see more of that. Always unfortunate when we go 0-for, but them's the breaks sometimes. Let's see what tomorrow has in store for us.

[PriceBusterXL]

Had to watch the audience entrance on their Youtube Channel.

Ditto for me...At least, that was the only good highlight from today.

[Prizes]

This Day in Price History: 39 years ago to the OAD that Patricia Bernard got caught in the little girl's room while being called down. Classic moment, lest anyone forget about it here, or worse, not know of it. If you don't look it up. It's the first of three times we've known that to happen, though Bernard's is by far the best known.

[vadernader]

It's a good thing Lucky Seven is a favorite and a great lead-off hitter!

Not to mention, the Superior Showcase™ was won today!

Stay classy, guys. Pot shots don't help anyone. I'm sure MGL & SB don't appreciate your unnecessary toxicity.

[Charizard632]

There were tough setups in Lucky Seven and Check-Out. There were easy setups in Freeze Frame and Make Your Move, but they were lost. In Gas Money, the contestant should have bailed out with $7,000, and the setup difficulty in Do The Math is medium, as prices of gas ranges and TVs can vary.

To me, it was clear that the neck pillow in Make Your Move was $18 and not $31.

It was a bad show overall, but at least someone won a showcase.
