Pretty decent stuff with One Away & Punch.  Otherwise just an average show for me.


Not an easy call to give up $2,500.  More often than not is someone getting $10,000 or winning in that spot.  That would've been tough to quit there.  Coin flip for me at that spot when it comes to a $2500 slip, but decent cash nonetheless.  $10,000 is so much better obviously, so that was nice that the gamble paid off there

I would have taken the $2,500 myself because there could have just as easily been $100, $250, $500, or $1,000 in the remaining two slots. I'm glad it worked out for Benjamin though.

There's dumb losses and then there's Vend today.

[C8]

Did anyone catch that George’s copy during One Wrong Price was wrong? He said that the tv came with five movies but one of the movies was The Dark Knight trilogy, which is in reality three movies by itself. So technically the tv came with seven movies.

Carmen is one of my favorite contestants of recent memory. Her enthusiasm and positivity were downright infectious. Imagine my surprise when Goldie beat her out for that title just a few games later.

Meanwhile I, like Byronique, picked the juice in Vend. That juice was significantly less expensive than it looked like it would be. I guess I’m also the victim of a “dumb loss”

[Kev347]

Top-tier hosting today from Drew on One Away and Punch. Punch in particular was a playing made that much more exciting by the way Drew hosted it. Good work.

Definitely some huge ups and downs on this show. Vend was a really bad loss.

[filambobeck]

This was another taping I went to.

Yes, George Gray mentioned the episode would air on his birthday. An audience member asked about George's plans on his birthday. At the time, George was not sure.

I wore the black Detroit Tigers "D" hat and red Detroit Red Wings shirt. I was sitting next to George Gray that day. 

Carmen's One Away win was heavily edited. The audience is very, very loud than on TV. I shouted from the top of my lungs six/seis (yes, in English and Spanish). I think you could pick up my voice on the TV broadcast. Carmen was really unsure which number to change. George commended whoever was shouting six during the "commercial break." Probably me...I don't know; the outcome was heartwarming for George and Drew.

Interesting fact about Goldie: She is a Holocaust survivor. Goldie went to the taping with a teacher and the teacher's son. I was definitely rooting for her to win on Side by Side.

Benjamin's Punch-a-Bunch win was amazing! I wanted him to quit after $2,500 (skip to 2:28)

. Good thing Benjamin didn't!

Give me the dunce cap and losing horns for Vend-O-Price. I did not know my grocery prices that day haha.
