With that particular price chosen, good decision to take the gifts in Temptation.

So. Even with the Shell Game counter right in front of him, Drew decides to have the main prize shown before explaining the rules. I wouldn’t have followed that sequence. I also would not have started the ball reveal with the only shell not marked. With the ball not being there, the winning moment felt awkward to me.

I would have lost Most Expensive; I picked the refrigerator.

Wow! Both the contestant and I were off by 70 cents in Check-Out. He was under; I was over. 😊  Nice win!

I bid $36K on the first Showcase, remembering the $29K Mazda convertible offered in Lucky $even recently. I was under by $269.

[Wayoshi]

This is the first time in history Shell Game, the longest regular SP, and Check-Out, the longest regular GP, were in the same half. Probably something that shouldn't happen again.

Recap posted.

[JayC]

Pretty surprised the contestant bailed out in Temptation, the cash was a nice amount but the other 3 prizes were under $1,000. Would be nice to see the game played for more expensive/luxury cars sometimes so more contestants would actually go for the car.

This is the first time in history Shell Game, the longest regular SP, and Check-Out, the longest regular GP, were in the same half. Probably something that shouldn't happen again.

It's rare to have any SP and GP game played in the same half let alone the two longest timed regular SP and GP games, so yes definitely odd slotting.

[dconnary]

Almost a perfect show! When was the last time that Temptation was won completely?

[Roadgeek Adam]

October 28 of Season 44.

[SteveGavazzi]

Man, what a show!  $20,000 cars in both car games, a car in Shell Game, a Miata in the Showcase...either the budget's back under control or they were feeling really brave today.

Speaking of the budget, looking at the game calendars, I would not be the least bit surprised if April 20 has Temptation on it.

Push Over was damn near a forced win.  There were only two realistic prices, and one of them was the first choice.

Most Expen$ive, on the other hand, was probably supposed to be lost.  I actually had a hunch for whatever reason that it was the arcade game, but I'm not so sure I'd have gone with it if I'd been playing.

One of the stills for the second trip in the Showcase was a hotel that was flying gay and trans pride flags.  That was a pleasant surprise -- it's just not something you expect to see pop up in the middle of a prize plug.  Kudos to whoever decided that was cool to put on the air.

[Grand_game2004]

I only saw Most Expensive & Checkout. I would've chosen the arcade game myself. That was an unbelievable win on Check-Out! I was NOT expecting Check-Out to be won, but it was!!!!!!

[Nate Powalie]

4/6 PGs won? That’s a good day.

[Grand_game2004]

4/6 PGs won? That’s a good day.

Yeah, you've got that right.

[mechamind]

Most Expen$ive, on the other hand, was probably supposed to be lost.  I actually had a hunch for whatever reason that it was the arcade game, but I'm not so sure I'd have gone with it if I'd been playing.

Personally, if I heard 32 game titles, I might have gone for it as the most expensive. It would be silly to set individual arcade classics higher than $20 per title, but for the nostalgia, I guess they could try? I don't think the size of the cabinet or the hardware would justify the price.

[Nate Powalie]

Another thing that I just now noticed, the price is marked with $2599 on the kayak, but $3279 was placed on it. Shouldn't One Right Price then marked as a loss?
