Very cool to see the different anniversary graphics in Cover Up. And very nice win!

$10,000 in Punch-A-Bunch! Yes, I would also stop. 😊

Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone pick “the other two” prizes in Take Two for the win. After revealing the price of the smartphone package, I would have noted out loud that the other price has to end in 7 for even a chance at victory.
 
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the totals so close together in Vend-O-Price. Well, the prize offered was a car. I would have won; I chose the ice cream bars.

Congratulations to cameraman Wayne who is retiring after 30 years. Touching moment there.

Looking forward to Season 50.

[ooboh]

I’ve never seen a SpongeBob-themed showcase before, and chances are I never will again. A bit of a cross-promotional between two Paramount properties.

[ThatDonGuy]

After a $10,000 bonus spin like that, I'm a little surprised Drew hasn't mentioned, "That's why we start it on the 5."

Also, why didn't they air the episode planned for Thursday today, and show this one on Thursday, since there were mentions that it is the "season finale"?

[Nate Powalie]

Another solid show today, awesome job with the 10k bonus spin (Evelyn won't be happy), and understandable bail on Punchy (though 10k is a partial win in my book).

[Mariobrosaa]

Do the Math's $1,502 cash amount today is the highest cash amount in this game since 25 October 2016 ($1,561).
The rare all-male Contestants' Row makes an appearance in One-Bid 5.
Vend-o-Price for a car! Naturally, it would have a difficult setup - the correct shelf was only about $2 above the second-most expensive shelf (AFAIK, the last time it was that close was 16 May 2019, with a difference of $1.52), and the third-most expensive shelf wasn't far off, either.

[Roadgeek Adam]

Recap posted early due to heat.

2 shows to go, they are Thursday and Friday. There is no show tomorrow.

[Torgo]

Glad Dora's mother finally made it on the show.

[JayC]

The anniversary logos in Cover Up with the TBA 50th season logo was cool.

Not the big one this time, but $10,000 is nothing to sneeze at in Punch a Bunch! Punch ends its season on quite the high note.

I was pretty sure about the ice cream being right in Vend-o-Price, though the protein bars were surprisingly expensive and I thought the biscuit mix might've been a little more expensive.

A Spongebob Squarepants spinoff themed Showcase? Weird.

[MSTieScott]

Did they swing the pendulum too far in the budget-saving direction when they had all of those super-hard setups a month or so ago? That Cover Up was very winnable and a $10,000 slip was in a high-traffic area. But then Freeze Frame was tough. I don't get it.

Congratulations to Wayne on a well-deserved retirement! All of the TPIR crew are great at what they do; here's just one example. If it looked like Drew was going to acknowledge the theme in Grocery Game, Wayne would swing camera 2 around so there would be a shot of me at the ready in case Drew also mentioned me. From the perspective of that camera, door #3 was behind me, so Wayne would frame the shot so the door's TPIR logo appeared unobstructed next to me. But if I happened to be wearing a green shirt, Wayne knew to move the camera so that the logo was behind my torso, preventing me from blending in with the green door #3.

These are the small details that make Price the greatest game show on the air. Congratulations on retirement, Wayne!

Trust me, I also say "I don't get it" all the time when trying to figure out their budget managing when watching modern Price. It's a mess.
