As noted, see you guys late Sunday night. I will post a recap thread for unlocking before I leave in the very early morning.

[Bandon23]

1 win is not what we expect, 5 losing games is really bad, so I think this is average show or bad show if I am not mistaken.

[PriceBusterXL]

Abigail was the true winner today despite Flippy being a outright "gimme". And here, I thought I lowball on boats. That was really a  by Carol.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Not really a good show with only one win...I also can barely hear Drew today. I just hope someone gave him a lozenge or two.

[bigblue999]

Gotta give credit to Andrew. Even though he said he didn't know how to play 10 Chances, he used the zero rule on all chances except one. He played great but couldn't pull off the win.

[TinoStar11]

Strange show today. Drew had barely no voice. I notice an edit: He forgets to reveal the rest of the Grocery items in Grand Game. Then they show them with no fanfare. Then the oddest one was during the final IUFB , when the contestant said 901 and the number was to the left instead of the right.

[TPIRighteous]

Gotta give credit to Andrew. Even though he said he didn't know how to play 10 Chances, he used the zero rule on all chances except one. He played great but couldn't pull off the win.

Agreed, and $79 was a perfectly reasonable guess too. He just overpriced the Sonic, unfortunately.

[GameShowKid]

Agreed, and $79 was a perfectly reasonable guess too. He just overpriced the Sonic, unfortunately.

10 Chances! One of my favorite games! $79 was a reasonable guess, if one doesn't know the zero rule. I think his loss was due to bad luck with the sunglasses pricing and him not knowing the game/zero rule. If one thinks about it, that $79 guess could have cost him the car.

Just my opinion here, but I thought that today's "Look of the Week" was the ugliest outfit I've seen featured, especially with those boots.

[Richie]

This was the taping I went to and this was the early taping...there was two tapings that day.  I wonder if any of you guys and girls saw me sitting in the far left this time around.  Thankfully there is CBS.com to actually post the episode for one week if you all failed to see me.

Before I went to this third taping, I was 3 for 12 in Pricing games, with at least 4 of those losses partially blamed on me.  So far, I felt partly responsible for 2 contestants losing cars in their pricing games, one loss was a painful one by $6, and one a three trip One Wrong Price that was extremely impossible.

Oh yeah Drew had laryngitis.  He had to spend most of the commercial breaks offstage to rest his voice, and I don't blame him.  On some of the commercial breaks he was his funny self.

To the pricing games proper:

Grand Game: I was really happy to see a cash game in my third trip.   The Wax Paper and the Salsa were gimmes.  Unfortunately, John heard me and several others in the audience scream "Towelettes."  Ugh, I got tripped up on that...didn't expect it to be $6.99.   I felt partly responsible for John's loss.  Sorry guys.
Yeah you guys saw an obvious edit...Drew did not reveal the rest of the prices, but during the first commercial break, Drew had to retake "George who is the next contestant?" cue because his first time he said it was pretty weak due to his voice.  They brought the Grand Game stage out during the commercial break.  They revealed the other prices.  The french fries were $4.49.  I was stunned to see the OxiClean $4.99.  Neosporin was obviously over.  Yeah Mike put a landmine in this setup. 

Flip Flop: That was the only easy setup of this show, period.  Me and everybody else screamed FLIP!!!   Abigail listened to us and WON!  Happy birthday indeed!

That's Too Much: I was like, Oh boy.  I am not good with this game and Leslie was playing for a Jeep.  Leslie stopped at price 5.  I stopped at price 6.  We both got fooled.  Ugh.  Another landmine where both me and Leslie fell.  Even the audience.  Ugh.

Bonus Game: That was a nice trip to Iceland.  I was like Whoa at $10,000 plus?!   The SPs were NASTY!!!  The first SP we screamed higher to Leslie.  We all got fooled.  The 3rd SP, I screamed LOWER loud enough for Leslie to hear.  Unfortunately it was a loss and I cost Leslie that trip.  Ugh.

Bargain Game: Between a TV and ATV: this was no cakewalk either.  Half the audience screamed ATV, the other half screamed TV.  I screamed TV.  Michelle took the advice on half of the audience including my guess on the TV.  Yikes.  My streak of costing contestants in their pricing games have gotten ridiculous.

Ten Chances: I was very happy to see this game...I told several people in the crowd before the taping on Ten Chances: every prize in this game ends in zero.  Andrew...despite one bad guess, did pretty well.   The sunglasses setup, and the car setup were both NASTY!!!  I was like Oh boy.  Too bad about the loss.
My Mom screamed $675 to Andrew when he played for the sunglasses.  I shot her a mean look.  She did not like that.
George and Drew during the commercial break mentioned the trick to the game 10 Chances after it was played...there's this one little trick that many people fail to do: Every price in the Ten Chances game ENDS IN ZERO.
I gave Mom a look saying "See?"   Mom gave me a look like "Be quiet."   LOL

Showcases: I was very dissappointed in Leslie's bid.  I did not expect the showcase to be over $31,000.  I was praying for Abigail to bid at least $24,000.  Abigail won!   

Okay one of the pages during the commercial break wheeled Abigail's grandma backstage.  I had a hunch Abigail won.  I was right.

Yeah after 3 tapings, I was 4 for 18 in pricing games.  It was fun, but I prefer having more wins than losses and I hope not to cost contestants in their pricing games.

Feel free to ask me questions if you wish.

[PriceBusterXL]

^ Was it hard for to hear what Drew was saying since he had a sore throat? To me, just on the TV, it was quite difficult.

[Richie]

From my perspective, I can still hear him but barely.  But I felt bad for him having a sore throat. 

Those who saw my picture from my post earlier this week were you able to see me?

[SteveGavazzi]

Ten Chances was really heartbreaking.  Andrew stuck to the zero rule almost exclusively and just had the bad luck to stumble into numerous reasonable but wrong guesses.

I feel awful for Drew.  I had laryngitis as a side effect of a cold a few weeks back, and I assure you it feels even worse than it sounds.

1 win is not what we expect, 5 losing games is really bad, so I think this is average show or bad show if I am not mistaken.

Dude, if you have to ask us if you're interpreting your own opinion the right way, you probably shouldn't bother posting about it.
