If you're going to do Bonus for 40k, why is Grand only for 20k...? Really now.

I guess I understand the reluctance to do two car games when you feel like you have to offer two cars at a time on this type of show... but Freeze Frame for a living room was a pretty awful closer.

Even though a superfan did make it to the showcase round finally, and helped make a really nice bid on the Jettas that I would hope from one, this was an awfully cruel & unusual way to lose it, I don't know how the hell that couple bid beyond 35k in the first place on SC2. I say the superfan curse still lives, for now.

[DebonairDylan]

I thought that Bonus Game being played for $40,000 was pretty cool. That was a great win with only one small prize won. Plus, both winning teams spun $1.00 on the wheel, which is always a treat.

[Game Girl]

blind date price is right, I did not read anything before watching the show ,I almost wish I did because I was thinking this is ridiculous. but it seem to actually be decent and did not seem to follow the issues of the last game show I saw that did this bachelor holy moly (s2) a one time special in which they try to pair people up in a blind date way with mini golf. (The minigolf is the show but the pairing people up is not) and for a second I think they are going to pair people up in 'random order'. (Beyond the usual 'peppy interview' for solo players) interestingly enough it what is on the same time as the finale for Bachelors in Paradise which I wonder if they were trying to get the same romance market or something. it is either super genius or super stupid to put your romance special against bachelor in paradise finale. (Genius because people who like romance are watching stupid because Bachelor is a very big show)

[PriceFan07]

I would like to see an update on some of these blind date couples 😆! Some of them appeared to have an actual connection on-screen, especially Romeo and Henry.

I would like to see an update on some of these blind date couples 😆! Some of them appeared to have an actual connection on-screen, especially Romeo and Henry.

I attended the taping for the episode. I met Henry while waiting for the taping. I befriended and still stay in touch with him. We thought Romeo looked familiar, and we figured out who he was. Henry and Romeo are not together. I will leave it at that.

I did not get paired up. I sat next to Steven who was paired with Julia that lost on Grand Game. We chatted for a bit before the show started. Henry told me that Steven looked at the prices of the Pom juice when he went back. They were higher than on the Grand Game!

Sidney was also in the audience and in uniform for "The Price is Right at Night" holiday military episode. He ended up getting the Bronco. That was taped before our episode and experiencing delays. They could not get enough active duty members in the audience. So, many people in this episode filled seats for the military episode.
