Bah... well, better hope all three 2-prize quickies show up this week. Switch and ORP done as soon as possible do make me think there's a good chance of that, but honestly why aren't one of these games on a break yet?

Your COVER-UP guide is wrong along the "1's" line.  NO 4 posted, just a repeated "1".


Won 1RP (probably the only one in Studio 33 that would have), and called off GRAND following  the pineapple, chopped onion, and gloves, in that order.

^You were at this taping? Bummer if so.

These types of shows remind me although I got a really generic lineup, I was lucky to see a car win and a very rare casher (Bag) win in this era.

The setup in cover up was just so mean even the one number at a time/elevator strategy wouldn't have worked.

Octavia's mistake was listening to the peanut gallery on Cover Up.................They really wanted her picked 8 as the missing 4th number, but I knew that it was 1. The audience should be ashamed of themselves for making her do that.

Grand Game was brutal, mainly because of the $3.00 target price...........But hot dog buns being $3.49?! Also, syrup for $3.89?! I like to know where Mike and Adam do their grocery shopping, because there's no way in Hell that buns and syrup are worth that much.

Tough break for Lauren on Pocket Change..............but she did won her showcase.

ME and Cliffy were won respectively, but another cruel 2/6 show...............Obviously, Mike was too pissed off from yesterday.

The definition of an average show. Not entirely a downer, because Drew is on point this week, but everything went about as it was supposed to go today. These type of days help make the gems like yesterday stand out more.

Oh, and that's too hard on Grand today, Adam and Mike, with all those items bunched up like that. But you know that.

Timings:
Most Expensive (3.5) - 3:34
Cover Up (5) - 5:11
Grand Game (5) - 4:13
One Right Price (3.5) - 3:08
Pocket Change (5) - 5:57
Cliff Hangers (4.5) - 4:27

Yeah, the audience during Cover Up was chanting "Eight! Eight! Eight!..." weren't they? I also knew that once she picked the eight, there was no hope for her.

And $3.00 + hot dog buns??!!! We get ours for about 60¢ at the grocery store - and even though that's the store brand, even the name brands aren't that expensive here. I lost on that same item as the contestant on Grand Game.

Cliff Hangers was pretty easy today, in my opinion, and Wesam was a good contestant on that game.

Most Expen$ive, Cliff Hangers:  Nice wins! :-)
Cover Up, Granhd Game, 1 Right Price:  Evil IMO.
Pocket Change:  Tough luck! :-(

An "ehhhh" show overall, IMHO.

Survey says... that's another Goodson-Todman show, Drew!

Well, it was only a matter of time before Mike would go back to putting 1 in the fourth column in Cover Up.  And the audience still hasn't gotten the clue.

Grand Game:  Freudian Edition.

I think I'm the only one here who won Grand Game today.  I knew immediately that the big bottle of syrup would be around $4.00.  And then it was a coin flip between the buns and the gloves.

Oh, come on, guys!  It's either two trips or no trips!  That's supposed to be the rule for 2-prize games!

My showcase bids:
:frbs: --$22,107
Motorcycles--$22,107

Magic # and Barker's Bargain Bar were frequently played for a trip and another prize through Season 36 (of course, Barker's Bargain Bar was also played for two trips on occasion).

Does anyone know when they started having short contestants stand on platforms for the showcase?  I noticed it for the first time last week, but maybe they've done it for a while and I just hadn't noticed.

I was surprised in chat, only I had it.

I think I made a error: It was Octavia who won her showcase, not Lauren. Oops....................

Cover Up was made more unwatchable by how the entire audience was chanting for the wrong number. What on earth possesses them to think they know so much about the tens digit of a car price?

Grand Game was evil. I knew the syrup was one of the trouble items just from seeing it so darn often, but I couldn't figure out the other between the gloves, body wash, and buns. Go figure they (and the syrup) were all right around the target price. I guess Mike doesn't want this game won any more than it already has been this season...

Also evil: 1 Right Price. Which was unusual how it was played for a trip and a non-trip prize. That also clued me in that there was no way it was going to end well; contestants are going to think trip = expensive and that was exactly what happened today.

Pocket Change was assorted bad luck.

At least Most Expensive and Cliff Hangers were easy enough.

To make Drew's comments on how "there were 8's all over this show" even more ironic, today is May 8th...  :P

Magic # and Barker's Bargain Bar were frequently played for a trip and another prize through Season 36 (of course, Barker's Bargain Bar was also played for two trips on occasion).

Magic # and Safe Crackers are the obvious exception to that rule, since those games are typically a trip with an associated cheap prize (such as luggage, sunglasses, a supply of suntan lotion, or a camera).  But Bargain Bar/Game, Switch?, and especially 1 Right Price should never be played for one trip and a different prize.

And 3-prizers (1 Wrong Price and Most Expensive) with one trip and two different prizes is just wrong (which is something that we actually saw a couple of seasons ago).

Absolutely brutal Pocket Change. It was just so frustrating to watch.
