I guess Drew entering from the audience was pretty much the highlight today. At least we didn't have an absolute skunking with a DOB in the showcases.

I got really excited when Drew entered from the audience (hoping for a 3 strikes playing).  But, today's show was a fiasco.  Better luck tomorrow, I guess.

The return of the audience entrance, finally! Although it would have been neat to see a turntable entrance, this one was much better for nostalgia. A pretty bad episode otherwise, Gas Money was particularly painful. Nobody in chat won, with most thinking it was $19,000  or $21,000 and at the end a unanimous pick was $22,385 being the car price.

I know some people will get really annoyed by the DSW range change if even for just 1 episode, but I mean....it is just one episode. It's not a huge deal in my opinion, and as it turns out was irrelevant in this instance.

Some pretty tough setups, Lucky Seven was as evil as can be expected and Make Your Move was about as hard as I've seen in some time. Check-Out seems fine, not too difficult but no push over by any means. Freeze Frame was essentially a toss-up depending on the day, and Gas Money could easily have been won as it was not just the lowest price of the 5. Do the Math was pretty difficult, though, as I believe most contestants would have said + as well. (A lot of the chatroom today lost, for what it is worth)

Don't forget Do The Math! Not only is it a fantastic game, it makes for an enjoyable closer!

Seriously though, even though the results produced a skunking, I thought this was an alright show.

After yesterday's good show , we're bound for a stinker and we got one today.
Had to watch the audience entrance on their Youtube Channel. The beginning got interrupted by the weatherman talking about how cold it is.

Well, another skunked show. There's not a lot of positives to this episode, in my opinion, except for Drew's audience entrance. Great to see it return today.

There were a few hard setups (like Make Your Move with three possible choices for the trip, all within $2,000 of each other) and some fairly easy ones (the jet boat in Freeze Frame, anyone?). The evilest setup would definitely have to be Lucky $even with the big drop from 8 to 3, then ending with -9. It was just a nasty playing today.

Overall, today's show was just a big clutter of losses. Hopefully the rest of UDecide Week will have more exciting wins.

You know when you have trip to a place we haven't seen before, a fancy-looking bedroom, and a Versa, you're going to expect people saying it was better than the other one. :-)

Speaking of which, what was so cheap in that second showcase? Was it because there was no length given on the boat?

Make Your Move is fun to watch :)

In all seriousness, it was fun seeing Drew enter from the audience. Thanks, voters. Definitely would be bit to see more of that. Always unfortunate when we go 0-for, but them's the breaks sometimes. Let's see what tomorrow has in store for us.

This Day in Price History: 39 years ago to the OAD that Patricia Bernard got caught in the little girl's room while being called down. Classic moment, lest anyone forget about it here, or worse, not know of it. If you don't look it up. It's the first of three times we've known that to happen, though Bernard's is by far the best known.

There were tough setups in Lucky Seven and Check-Out. There were easy setups in Freeze Frame and Make Your Move, but they were lost. In Gas Money, the contestant should have bailed out with $7,000, and the setup difficulty in Do The Math is medium, as prices of gas ranges and TVs can vary.

To me, it was clear that the neck pillow in Make Your Move was $18 and not $31.

It was a bad show overall, but at least someone won a showcase.

I too enjoyed seeing Drew enter through the audience. It made me a bit nostalgic, thinking back to the days when it actually was (called) an "audience" and not a "crowd".

And speaking of nostalgia, Drew was called "Bob" again, over seven years after the latter's retirement. Hello Mr. Barker. :)

I know "You Only Live Once" and all, but it was $7000 (in Gas Money). Knowing myself, I probably would have stopped with the $7K.

There were a lot of weird edits in today's show, especially during the First Four down. At one point the audience was standing and cheering, then suddenly seated and seemingly quiet.

I thought I saw the same shirt (says something $0 drew) in yesterday's episode too? [i only noticed since the shirt didnt make sense to me] .  Is it odd that they would pick two people in the same group in back to back episodes?

This was a rather unremarkable program. Plucked from the sea of obscurity by Drew's audience entrance and the other UDecide choices.

Honestly, this show wasn't even "meh" because of the losses. It just didn't click to me. The games just came and went, so did the contestants (although Allison's shout-out was absolutely hilarious). Some of the setups weren't that great, another reason for me to forget the games as soon as they finished playing. Honestly, I didn't even realize the show was on the verge of skunktitude until someone in chat mentioned it after Check-Out. Gas Money was fun though. It's nice to see the game play out. Even if it's lost.

Also, it was horrid to watch the showcases play out the way they did. Cheap ass boat and a loaded trip to ensure no one would come within an inch of the $1,000 DSW range. I don't know, maybe I'm just biased because I went over in CSS. :oldlol:

This was a good lineup though. I really enjoyed the 1st half. Make Your Move 2nd with Check-Out 3rd? Yes, please.

Post by: Paranoia_Survivor on February 18, 2015, 01:36:43 AM

I always thought that in Gas Money, the dollar amounts behind the prices somewhat alluded to the ARP of the car, with low amounts like $1000 being reserved for "easy"/"safe" picks which are far off the ARP. Meanwhile the higher amounts like $4000 meant that the contestant is "dangerously close" to the price of the car.

When the 3rd pick of #21k and the $4000 was revealed, I thought for sure that the $22k price (being closer to the 4k price) would be the price of the car. Today's playthrough kind of debunks this. Though I'm starting to wonder if there is a method to choosing the dollar amounts behind the wrong prices, or is it a random allotment.

Well that was a flop.  And it shouldn't have even been a skunk.  Only Lucky 7 was flat out evil. The quickies were gimmies, Make your Move was a coin flip, and Check-Out was tough but fair (l lost by 38 cents >_<)

I was so aggrivated by the end, I was hoping for the El Skunko.  Never a good thing.

That escalated quickly, the skunks striking back, so it's normally to get a skunked show but it'll probably not happen.

It sounded like she was saying 23 at first when looking to the audience, which would of course have done it with the $1,000 range.  Unfortunately she didn't stay with that.

It was so nice to see an audience entrance again!  I hadn't realized how much I'd missed those.  Drew didn't half-ass this one at all, either -- he really seemed to be having fun high-fiving his way on down the aisle.

What the heck was up with the setups on this episode?  Check-Out and Gas Money are never easy, but Lucky $even, Freeze Frame, and Do the Math were all ridiculously hard, and even Make Your Move was hardly a gimme.  After having more or less balanced setups for the past year and a half or so, this was a pretty darn jarring episode.

Man...with the special rules for today, if Laura had listened to the audience, she's have won both showcases.

They were easy because there were only two viable options in each.  On Freeze Frame, if you're somewhat familiar with the show or jetskis, the 9023 was probably going to jump out to you as the better option.  Make your Move was 50/50 as well, as the pillow was going to have to be $18 or $31.  I think Laura made the same mistake my wife and I did while playing at home - 1) We've seen too many travel pillows while shopping that do cost that much and 2) The display for the pillow was really gussied up, giving it the illusion of being more expensive.

^This...the audience entrance was obviously taped later in the show and spoiled some of the outcomes as you can see a few of the winning contestants in the "reserved" seats.

Apparently Allison was not happy with the speed that she was receiving her prizes.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing about the article (aside from the use of "Showcase Showdown") is the apparent rule that you must pay the taxes before being able to receive any of your prizes.

...Not that Allison got the prizes she was expecting. The handbags were retired props, which she sent back and promptly got a $2,000 check for.

I think if you read between the lines, you'll probably come to the conclusion that Allison was trying to avoid paying tax on her winnings. Probably thought if she cried hard enough, they'd just give her everything for free. The fact that Mike said very little on the situation likely suggests he suspected a scam too.
