[Alfonzo]

I acted just like a wrestling fan after seeing Bob's hosting of Lucky $even:

YOU STILL GOT IT *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP!*

[TheBigAK]

Very nice touch - playing with the colors.

I got chills watching Bob come through the doors.   Seeing him give away 1 more car...FANTASTIC!!    I only wish he would have popped out from behind the Range Game to do his 37 hours joke.

3 way tie at .95, even make this April Fools show even better.

Not sure why they didn't reveal the SC's in the reverse order.   It was pretty obvious that 2 car SC was drastically underbid.    The only suspense left was if the other was an Overbid.

[TheBigAK]

I acted just like a wrestling fan after seeing Bob's hosting of Lucky $even:

YOU STILL GOT IT *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP!*

That happened before the game play even started with his reaction/response to the $100,000 telling her to go back down.

[Alfonzo]

Actually AK...you're right! 

[03F5man]

he did not miss a beat. its like he never left

[Off_trak]

Bob's walk isn't as spry as it use to be, and he doesn't quite stand as straight; but he can still get the job done. 

[Cephas]

That had to be one of the longest and loudest rounds of applause I've ever seen when Bob walked out of those Big Doors.  Everyone in the audience was exhilarated when he made his entrance.

It was clear that Bob needed to host one more car win. This was the day for actually setting up Lucky Seven for an easy victory.

Even the SCSDs were thrilling, between the three-way tie and the two $1,000 winners.

That second showcase was very well executed. That was a great way to incorporate both the stars...not to mention that Cadillac.

This was yet another April Fool's show done right.

[jokerz]

Great show today! I hope Drew payed attention and learned how to build up the suspense like Bob did for Lucky Seven. Not just say " how about another prize George". It was like Bob had never left!

[PriceBusterXL]

Best...Show...EVER!

THE BAD NEWS:

Nothing really. There was no perfect show...but that's small potatoes.

THE NOT-SO-BAD NEWS:

A#: The only game that stopped a perfect show in its tracks. Well, Sonia did win a laptop.

THE GOOD NEWS:

L7: I was freaking out when Bob came on today! That was total awesomeness!! The "You Still Got It"chants were in full effect and I think that might be the first time a contestant (Mary) really was hoping to play Pay The Rent.  Mary played that to a "T" and it was one of the best L7 playings ever.

Switch?: Easy win for Tyler! I thought that classic Grand Game clip on the TV was a nice touch.

Flip-Flop: Ditto for Gladys! And she won her SC!

Range Game: Great job by Paulette!

Grand Game: I think we all thinking to ourselves that Gabriel should pick the hash browns for the win. It was a good setup and win right there.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

This was one of the best April Fools shows ever...And it was even at the same level of greatness as the one last year when Craig Ferguson hosting. Bob still remains as sharp as ever, even at 91. SC2 was quite a unexpected change of pace with just two cars, even with the Cadillac. Still, this episode was a great moment in the show's history.

[Cool Steve]

had Gladys added $4000 to her bid she woulda had Both Showcases and her total would have been $92,948

[Hag]

I have yet to see the entire show but I did catch a clip of Bob's entrance and Lucky $even, as well as Drew's intro. Bob hasn't lost his touch in the least.

[bigblue999]

At 91, Bob still has it!

[BillyGr]

Not sure why they didn't reveal the SC's in the reverse order.   It was pretty obvious that 2 car SC was drastically underbid.    The only suspense left was if the other was an Overbid.

Maybe another April Fools joke - trying to make everyone think that one of the cars must be real cheap so that she was the closer and winner, only to find out that it was really a large underbid?

[TinoStar11]

Another 5/6 show ( the 10th one this season )
Great Show , Great Gameplay , Bob at the top of his game
Since they started showing the Graphic for anyone winning over $35,000 , that $35,003 has to be the lowest total ever for someone's total showing up as a graphic.
