I need a few bendy donuts after watching that 10 chances...

[ooboh]

Definitely the worst 10 Chances playing of the season. Five out of ten guesses did not end in zero, and three of the seven guesses on the three-digit item began with a two.

[TPIR98665]

Definitely the worst 10 Chances playing of the season. Five out of ten guesses did not end in zero, and three of the seven guesses on the three-digit item began with a two.

Some bad luck on Plinko....I remember someone playing it several years ago where the last digit was a 1 and she said 'nothing ends in 1'.  Sage advice in Plinko

Yeah it was one of the worst of all time...Clearly didn't know the trick...

OK did ANYBODY think that the Foosball table was the One Wrong Price AND it was MORE than $4744?  I figured it was the wrong price but figured low $3K range.

[TPIRZippy]

Rough luck in Plinko.  Fortunate that it seemed the audience knew that a trip means Going in the first half.  Couldn't possibly do worse in Ten Chances...the first prize is basically impossible to not win and that's all she won.  Brutal guesses not ending in 0 and starting with 2. 

A great second half!  Rivor would have won with the old $20-21 range with that single item.  Nice work!

[LiteBulb88]

I was at this taping, and Laura confirmed after it was over that Drew told her after she lost that all 10 Chances prices end in 0. So he definitely knows that trick.

Fortunate that it seemed the audience knew that a trip means Going in the first half. 

Since you brought it up . I was next to Danica and her husband Chris in line and I was telling them about some unwritten rules, including the "going on a trip" rule in Coming or Going. You can imagine my thrill when Danica got on stage and played one of the games I told them about! They were thanking me after the taping and told me they're very much going to take the trip to Memphis. Great couple to be around.

[ZorionBlaine]

It wasn't your day.
