FULL RECAP - TPiR 01/17/2008

[wpghi5]

One Wrong Price: I went with the home gym too. 

Lucky Seven: The Dob does it again when it comes to making cars very impossible to win. The random number technique Carlos used certainly didn't help.

Balance Game: I went with $5188. That bed was a bit expensive as I thought.

Pass The Buck: I would've just taken the money. It wasn't good for Marilyn when she decided to go on. 

Plinko: I would get 3 of the 4 SPs right. Good for Elizabeth to get all the SPs right and get $21,100 to top it all off.

Flip Flop: Brenda had it!  Thanks a lot guys for costing Brenda that hot tub! 

SCSD #2: I wanted Elizabeth to win.

Showcases: Great for Marilyn to redeem herself here with great bid on her showcase.

I'd just like to say one more time that I love InnerTube.

One Wrong Price - I thought it was the home gym as well.
Lucky Seven - Since Carlos only had $1 left going to the last digit, it didn't really affect anything, but the trailing 1 earns this game a .
Balance Game - I thought $7188 here.
Pass the Buck - The grocery portion should have given her 3 picks - or at least there's no way I'd pay $3.39 for 4 bags of popcorn. I probably would have stopped with $5000, but if you want to get technical, the expected value of going on was higher than the expected value of stopping.
Plinko - That's an easier set of small prizes than I can recall seeing lately.
Flip Flop - I would have made the same move here.
Showcases - Holy jeebus that's an expensive trip to Rio!

Marilyn was great!  Loved her shirt, listing the most notable hosts and announcers over the shows' years, and I loved her general happy attitude.

Speaking of Marilyn, such a shame to lose Pass the Buck.  I actually thought she may go for #6 after starting with #1.  I mean, not that we know for sure the car was there, but I'd have put money on it.

Regarding Flip Flop, I am shocked and amazed.  This may possibly be a historic moment!  The first time in Flip Flop history that the audience wanted a contestant to flipflop!  Seems like most of the time, the audience isn't even aware that's an option!  I mean, honestly, if I hadn't seen that hot tub on the show a gazillion times before, $3495 does look a little cheap, and $4395 looks infinitely better than $4359... just too bad the audience had to realize the flipflop option on this particular playing.

Speaking of Flip Flop, Brenda was quite pretty.  Cobi too, for that matter.

I was surprised the last digit in Lucky $even was 1.  I mean, you know as well as I that Roger likes to play dirty tricks in the game... just that usually, he makes his intentions known before the final digit.  With $26,46_, it looked like Roger was trying to be friendly... then WHAM with that final 1!

Balance Game was tough for Joe Plinko, too.  We may know Aico as the most overpriced furniture in the world, but Joe Plinko wouldn't know.  The lowest price would look the best for most people.  And considering One Wrong Price, I'm guessing Roger was looking for a winless first half.
