[GameShowKid]

So much commentary during Spelling Bee. Gotta say I was getting tired of it. With three cards, I would have gone for the car as well.

[Nate Powalie]

Love when a trip to Hilton Head makes an appearance during the show. One of my personal vacation spots.

[Roadgeek Adam]

Recap posted.

[sayingsorry]

I wonder when people will, if ever, catch on to just going with the odds of going higher on a 4 or lower and lower on a 6 or higher in bonkers. It is pretty much a guaranteed win

[Wayoshi]

I wonder when people will, if ever, catch on to just going with the odds of going higher on a 4 or lower and lower on a 6 or higher in bonkers. It is pretty much a guaranteed win

Did it matter today with how deliberate he was? One of the worst playings I can remember of the game.

[tpirguyMN]

I wonder what caused the tech win in Math.  Could it possibly be that the ARPs were on the wrong trips?  Maybe there was a discrepancy in George's spiel?

[tpir04]

I liked Vincent. He had a fun personality, which also meshed with Drew's personality well.  Too bad he lost Bee and got beat at the wheel, however.

Words cannot express how awful Bonkers was. Never before have I seen such mind-numbing cluelessness in this game, and perhaps in any other game.

[JayC]

I thought One Wrong Price was a toss-up between the shoes and TV, I was surprised how cheap the shoes were.

Mean SP setups in Spelling Bee despite the cheap car being played for. I don't blame him for going for it, and he was only one letter off from winning.

Terrible Bonkers playing. What made him think a pair of ATVs would be less than $4,000?

I went with the potatoes with the sunscreen and lollipops in Hi Lo. The salsa was plausible though.

[BillyGr]

I wonder when people will, if ever, catch on to just going with the odds of going higher on a 4 or lower and lower on a 6 or higher in bonkers. It is pretty much a guaranteed win

Did it matter today with how deliberate he was? One of the worst playings I can remember of the game.

Maybe - had the player followed that rule there were only two guesses needed (since 5 could go either way) and thus even as slowly as the guesses were made he would have had time to win.

I wonder what caused the tech win in Math.  Could it possibly be that the ARPs were on the wrong trips?  Maybe there was a discrepancy in George's spiel?

Good question - I wouldn't be surprised if the prices were in the right spots - not only is Nantucket a bit farther to travel to, but being an island it has more limited flights (so more costly) and other items like the lodging and meals are likely on the high end as well (since everything has to be brought in by boat or plane, and even a round trip ride for an individual on the slow ferry is nearly $40 per person (up to $75 if you want the fast trip), taking a vehicle like a tractor trailer full of food to make those meals is quite a bit more).

[Nate Powalie]

Hi-Lo was blown, and 1/6 was a rough way to enter the weekend.

[JayC]

^I wouldn't say blown... it was a tough choice between the salsa and mashed potatoes for the 3rd product to put on the Hi row.

[SanAnMan]

I probably would've won Hi-Lo, I've bought that exact brand of mashed potatoes before and knew they were about $4.50 here in Texas, so I would've guessed around $5 California price.

[muteKi]

They are definitely more than the salsa is here too, but for some reason I thought they were a shelf-stable thing like those Hormel meals and not in the fridge aisles and so didn't realize they were more expensive. Usually the fancy fruit salsas are more expensive

[JT]

The show should be embarrassed to offer $15,000 cars in 2021.  That's all.
