FULL RECAP - TPiR 01/30/2008

Yay, first comments on a TPIR episode. 

I had a feeling that the third digit in Dice Game was going to be the (in this case) evil six. Too bad for Erich that it was. It was a shame considering the two perfect rolls and Drew's excellent build-up to the reveal.

I'm also in the party wondering why the ticket plug was snipped from the broadcast. Maybe an out-of-bounds comment by Drew? Maybe a botched plug by Rich? Who knows.

The only other thing that stood out to me today was the $2.00 envelope in Pocket Change. Definitely something you don't see every day. And as said before, $2.00 in Pocket Change almost guarantees a win.

WHY, ROGER... WHY?! Dice Game was absolutely heartbreaking. Erich played it about as well as you can play it, and still lost.

HOTTIES: #129, Marcia
BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: David
SHOW GRADE: 2

I almost cried at the Dice Game loss. That was so sad to see. Ugh.

Whoa man. I can understand getting a bit choked up at a big win for a deserving contestant, but this? A little too into it, perhaps.

They've cut the plug before because they ran out of tickets. Doesn't seem like a likely situation since they've been using paid audience members off and on since Bob retired...

DICE GAME: EVIL!!!! Looked like The Dob didn't want this game won today.

I'm usually not big into "Dob wanted a loss" but this is definitely one where that was the case. I mean. Every number 4 or above? That's pure evil. And extremely difficult.

[GoldenBulldog]

That Dice Game playing was pure tragedy; I didn't expect all the numbers to be higher than 4. 

It was nice to see Drew walk out of the Big Doors with his godson Conner.  That Easy as 1-2-3 playing was hilarious; David took out not one, but two of those prize cards--oh yeah, the setup was quite easy today.  Drew sure is getting the hang of the false reveal; he did a good job teasing both the Pocket Change win and the tragic Dice Game loss.  Unfortunately, the $53,000 bid that Kathylane made on her Showcase (featuring the dreaded West Wight Potter sailboat) turned out to be a Major League .  All in all, I enjoyed today's show; it was a big improvement over the others this week.


OVERALL SHOW GRADE:  A

I'm also in the party wondering why the ticket plug was snipped from the broadcast. Maybe an out-of-bounds comment by Drew? Maybe a botched plug by Rich? Who knows.

The most common reason for cutting the ticket plug is so that they don't have to edit out something more interesting elsewhere in the show.

Eazy az 123 - It took a while for David to get there, but since he won, I think it was worth the wait.
Pocket Change - My first guess was $18495, so I probably would've needed the $2 card as well.
Plinko - I'd just like to add my name to the list of people who got tripped up by the camera.
Switch? - I thought "no switch" as well.
Dice Game - Roger, how COULD you?!
Hi Lo - Now this is a slightly tougher Hi Lo setup than I've seen in a while. Antonio must watch the show enough to know that the Udder Cream is one of those "deceptively cheap" grocery items.
Showcases - Today was my first career , on the

[Mallory16]

Why is everyone saying Dice Game was evil?  Does a single 1 or 6 in the price automatically make an evil playing?  I mean, it wasn't the easiest Dice Game price ever, but it seemed kinda'... well, average to me.

No...but what about that playing a few weeks ago where the price was something like $15,655 or something like that?

[PlinkoChip]

Dice Game was indeed evil, but you have to admit it was funny with Drew at the beginning...
Drew: Let's see the first number please.
Random audience member: 2!!!!!
*A 1 appears*
Drew: Haha, it's one; you thought it was a two! 

[edmojautis]

Nice to see Drew and hid godson making an appearnce together.

Easy: David has tp pay back two of his prizes for the damages to the placecards.    Good win.

Pocket: Drew's reveal of the two dolar-card was magnificent. Good win and another car gone from "Crazy Rachel's".

Plinko: $1500 is just fine and that camera shot is so...BLAH!!

Switch? Wise choice and good win.

Dice:  That's just sad. 

Hi Lo: The price of the Udder Cream got me. Good job.

Showcases: And the winner of the  " on a  by a giant mile award" goes to Kathylane.

A 3.25-star show.
