Lineup was OK-ish. Race she priced pretty well and almost won, but mixing up TV & crap I can definitely see, and then it fell apart quickly. Can't really make pricing mistakes when you're slow.
Post by: Kyle on June 12, 2013, 01:08:33 PM
Cliff Hangers - pretty by the numbers, but, a win is a win.
Cover Up - no... just no. It was funny with those pictures of Drew on the last playing, but, those symbols ruined the joke. PLus, Drew didn't even know that % was a percent sign! Just put the phony numbers back. Painful loss, otherwise, though... he employed the Cover-Up-Strategy (whether inadvertently or not) and it looked pretty clear that is the last number would have been the 1. Too bad.
Flip Flop - excitable contestant, but, I have more to say about this at the end...
Race Game - what was going on with that reveal of the prizes? Where were the price stands during the prize copy? That was just weird. They've gone 30 years+ with having the Race Game jukebox in full view of the camera before the prizes are revealed and now all of a sudden they have to conceal what game they're playing? Her playing of the game itself was pretty dismal. She knew she had two right, made a change and found she had one right... why wouldn't she change it back to what she knew was at least two right and go from there? And now the 3D TV is LESS than $3,000?
Bullseye - a good contestant and a solid playing.
Gas Money - I have a feeling they didn't want this one played all the way out, so, nice to see her take them for the car and the $10,000 as well. As soon as I saw those prices, I figured they were trying to throw her off and hoped she thought the car was more expensive than it really way.
Showcases - yep, another two prize showcase... maybe this is how Mike is combating the end of season overbudget... just offering two prize showcases every day for the rest of the season.
Now, what I was going to say was I believe Drew was highly unprofessional during the first half of the show... he broke one of the highest "commandments" of The Price is Right - that being, never humiliate a contestant. He did it to Pamela, Chelsea and Rudolph. First with Pamela, harping on her about her retired profession. It's a job, she did it for enough years to retire from it, and everyone needs to work. Drew made her feel bad about her job for the sake of a cheap laugh because he doesn't know any other way to interact with a contestant beyond "Where are you from and what do you do?" Then later, in the third one-bid, he started in on Chelsea. Bidding a dollar more in Contestant's Row is a part of the show and the way he harped on and on about how Chelsea did it to Rudolph was just terrible. It was so bad, I actually said outloud "Shut up, Drew." When she was up on stage with him at the turntable and she was apologizing over and over again, it was just a mess, to the point that even Drew was apologizing for making her feel bad. A contestant should never have to say "I'm sorry" about their choices in the games and Drew should have never put her in that position for the sake of a cheap laugh. I thought about changing the channel at that point as he continued to laugh himself silly through the explanation of Flip Flop. Drew took a moment of victory from her and robbed her of it by making her feel bad on national television. He wouldn't let Rudolph alone either with the "Rudolph can't join in the reindeer games" remark (which would have been funny by itself, but, he'd already screwed the pooch by his earlier comments) This should not be happening, period.
Post by: Wayoshi on June 12, 2013, 02:06:17 PM
EDIT: I don't think Cliff contestant was a big deal at all, Kyle, but I can see your point on Flip contestant. I think Drew was just bored, as the first half was pretty standard budget mode. I will agree that it is due to Drew's limited nature, although spending 30 seconds on a standard OB was random.

Seriously? Are you kidding me right now? These were clearly JOKES, and the contestants were laughing with Drew!

The random symbols of Cover Up and incompetent directing on Race Game (seriously - there is no need to hide it at all, what is the point?) continue to majorly irritate me, but this ended up being a decent show. The long lineup with a surprise Bullseye 5th helped, and so did the Gas Money win. I agree that today is exactly how Gas Money should be set up ALL THE TIME. It wasn't easy by any means, and every price ended in 5/0 so there were no obvious throwaways, but the price not being an extreme strangely makes the game more watchable. In June, you can even get away with having it be quite a bit harder than it was today and still have it be fair - I'm not sure what they were thinking with this setup. But I'll take the exciting win, and the chance to see a scenario we've never seen before - a 9k bailout option.
Not sure what they were thinking on the showcases either. That 2nd showcase was VERY likely to be overed, and you throw a $15,000 Alaskan cruise in the other that ensures it will never ever be overed. Should have thought that one through more, but again, we'll take it.

Yes, they are jokes, but they shouldn't have been made at the contestants' expense. If Drew had said something quickly like "Oh, Chelsea is Rudolph's new best friend" or something like that after she one-upped him, that would have been funny too and harmless, but, he kept on and on about it to the point that she became embarrassed about her bid. There's where the problem lies.
Post by: Bobby McBride on June 12, 2013, 02:48:34 PM
Cu: Ronnie took a shot at it, but it just didn't happen.
F-F: It was a toss-up between the $7K+ options, but Chelsea chose wrong.
Race: Lisa fell apart starting midway.
Bullseye: Solid win.
GM: At long last, a car win in this PG this season!
Showcases: Sheryll should've kept the first Showcase- had she done so, she would've won almost $63K in cash & prizes.
We've had some good shows this week, that's for sure.
Post by: Mallory16 on June 12, 2013, 04:16:26 PM
I didn't have a problem with the Drew faces on Cover's earlier playing, but the symbols do work better. If they intend to keep doing it, which it seems they are, using Goodson-Todman asterisks would be a good compromise.
Why? There's no joke with just using the asterisks, and if there's no joke, what would be the point?
I mean, yes, I'd prefer they go back to the fake numbers, which was kinda' the point of the game--covering up the wrong price with the right price, and all--but if they're not going to do that, not even trying to make a joke out of it does not make it better.

I thought they were looking for something to use on a permanent basis. Naive on my part, I suppose.
If it is intended as a joke, and it's going to change with each playing, I guess that's what they're going to do. It won't bother me.

THE BAD NEWS:
Cover-Up: So close, but so far away for Ronnie, but I got a couple things that really irked me today: 1.) The wrong numbers replaced by a question mark, pound sign, etc.; I'm willing to let the Drew pictures from last time to slide, but this is just seemed a little pointless and I rather have the wrong numbers back than this. And speaking of pointless.......2.) When Ronnie lost, the camera panned back to Amber and the Journey. Was that even necessary? I mean, he didn't win it..........well, he came close to win it, but still. And they do the same thing with other car games this season. Almost unnecessary as Drew having Therese touch the Ferrari from 3X on Big Money Week.......
Race Game: Lisa had a good stride on the first try, but she started to slow down, unfortunately. Perhaps if she changed the TV and the shoes, she would've won. Maybe Take Two would've been more her speed (No pun intended).
Flip-Flop: Tough break for Chelsea, but she won a boat today.
THE GOOD NEWS:
Cliffhangers: Pamela did some good playing today!
Bullseye: (singing to Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer): "They never let poor Rudolph join in any Pricing Games"..........Sorry, I had to do it, considering how the contestants 1-up him on the IUFBs today. Anyway, he did really awesome today and it's a good thing he chose 4 of the Fruit Gushers for the win!
Gas Money: Here's Mike reaction to Sheryll winning that game today: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s) :P
But seriously, Sheryll did great on it! I was hoping that she didn't pick the $16,995 price (The car price) and she didn't seeing that price and the $15,595 one were potential car prices. It was quite the nail-biter at the end, but Sheryll really triumphed over it........Too bad she went over on her SC........
Another 3/6 show this week, and some good wins today.........Hoping this will keep up for the remainder of the week.

Fantastic win in Gas Money. I would have bailed out with the $9,000 though; too much money for me to possibly lose. Would you have? :)

Me too, and I would've been right to do so. I thought it was $15K and would've just started from the highest price going down, but $16,995 was nagging me as being a strong possibility from the beginning of the game as well.
Joking or not, IMHO Drew seemed to be coming across as somewhat of a jerk with his comments during the one-bids.
Okay, the non-price in Cover Up was funny the first time, but enough is enough.

I loved the last two contestants today. Probably on my list of best of the season. Rudolph was just fun because of his situation in Contestant's Row, and to see him so happy to get on stage and win Bullseye was just great. Plus, it isn't often you get to crack a few Rudolph the Reindeer jokes. I also loved Sheryll. She was so happy to be there already, but when I heard her say she wanted to win the car for her pregnant daughter, I was really on her side. At the end when she looked out in the audience and said "For you.", that made me feel so sentimental. It was an utter joy to see this mother do something so selfless and wonderfully nice for her daughter.
There was nothing wrong with Drew's ribbing of the 1st contestant. Especially since he continued after that to say that since she's retired it's okay. All apart of the joke.
As for the 3rd contestant, that's on her for feeling bad. 1-Upping is a perfectly fine and acceptable strategy (one Rudolph ended up using to get on stage in the first place!). You shouldn't feel bad about it. Also, she wasn't feeling that bad. She was laughing through her numerous apologies and it was all in good fun.
If you're not going to use fake numbers to cover up in Cover Up, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the game?Yes and no. Yes because the way the game was explained for years was that the starting price was the wrong price and you had to "Cover Up" the wrong price with the right one. No, however, because they still are providing the contestant with something to cover up and while it isn't the wrong price and it thus renders Bob's rules obsolete, it doesn't take away from the object of the game to "Cover Up" nonsense with the right price.

Should they get rid of the wrong price in Flip Flop now and just say "You can leave it like this or you can flip the first two numbers or flop the last two numbers." Why not get rid of the wrong prices in Plinko and say "Is the right price $43 or $27" while they're at it. And on and on. This is a STUPID change - it's change for the sake of it. Where do they go from here - do they use letters next time and spell out "PRICE" instead of using five numbers?
Post by: Punchboard91 on June 12, 2013, 11:28:45 PM
I understand the concept - you keep covering up the wrong price each time, but if it doesn't affect the gameplay, why not have a little fun with it? I for one am looking more forward to the next Cover Up playing to see what they do next, whereas before, I would rather have many other car games before it.
Post by: Kyle on June 12, 2013, 11:51:27 PM
I'm really confused by your post - what clue is provided from a fake price not being right? Those five numbers still aren't going to be choices.
Suppose the wrong price given is something like $16,370. Depending on what options are listed for the car, the make and the model, those wrong numbers could very well affect one's decision on what to cover them up with, if even in a very minor way. You might be more inclined to cover up the 0 with a 4 or a 5 (assuming they're available) if you already know that the 0 is wrong.
The point is, the wrong price is just one combination that you know is wrong, so, it's something to build off of, as opposed to five symbols being down there giving no help whatsoever.
I could be wrong in this line of thinking, but, I really don't think so.
Post by: thepriceis_J on June 12, 2013, 11:59:31 PM
It has not become "get lucky and pick the right numbers." If you pick a 3 over a 1 when pricing a Kia, then maybe you should lose. The game is still the game, which is pricing the car number for number.

I'm still confused - I might be more inclined to cover up the 0 with a 4 or a 5 than what? Yes, I already know the 0 is wrong....but if it isn't an option on the top anyway, I'm not going to pick it.
The point is, the wrong price is just one combination that you know is wrong, so, it's something to build off of, as opposed to five symbols being down there giving no help whatsoever.
But, how am I building off of it? This isn't like One Away where the 2 is one away from either a 1 or 3.

I'm suggesting that by eliminating the wrong price altogether, they've taken out five possible numbers in the price of the car, thus, slightly disadvantaging the contestant.
Haha, I know it's terribly confusing. :P The point is they changed something that didn't need changing.

Frankly, the clue provided by the wrong price was really minimal, which is why they felt it was okay to ditch them.Alternately, continuing from what Kyle has said, they wish to make an already difficult game harder.

They still have the same number of choices (2-6). I would be just as likely to guess a price whether the fakes were $26,580 or $00,000 or PRICE.
I guess it comes down to whether you see the wrong price and say "that's not the price; there are 9 other numbers that could fit in that spot" or see the possible choices and say "the correct number is 1 of X numbers shown".
To each his own.

By just having a bunch of nonsense symbols there, perhaps there's a 3 in the third column and a 5 in the fifth column and choose them to cover up the nonsense symbols with and they would be WRONG.
I get what you are saying, but I was under the impression that the choices for the car were decided, and then the fake price was made from whatever numbers were not used. Therefore, in your example, 3 and 5 wouldn't even be used - even if the contestant had thought $26,345 was the right price, that price can't be formed if there's no 3 or 5 to choose for those particular numbers.

Anyways, fun show, especially with the Rudolph saga (it was all worth it when he one-upped his way on stage himself), and for Gas Money finally getting a tick in the W column! That was a surprisingly nice Gas Money setup, with the car price being neither an extreme nor deceptive. It was also interesting to see her forced to make a bailout decision with the most money possible without outright winning; she was definitely gutsy, and it paid off!

Now, what I was going to say was I believe Drew was highly unprofessional during the first half of the show... he broke one of the highest "commandments" of The Price is Right - that being, never humiliate a contestant. He did it to Pamela, Chelsea and Rudolph. . . . Then later, in the third one-bid, he started in on Chelsea. Bidding a dollar more in Contestant's Row is a part of the show and the way he harped on and on about how Chelsea did it to Rudolph was just terrible. It was so bad, I actually said outloud "Shut up, Drew."
Suppose a contestant has a price in mind for the car, say $14,375. Then they see the game come around on the turntable and see the wrong price revealed to be something like $26,345. Right away, they see two numbers they THOUGHT might be in the price proven to NOT BE in the price, so, it might affect their choices as to what numbers to choose to cover them up with. By just having a bunch of nonsense symbols there, perhaps there's a 3 in the third column and a 5 in the fifth column and choose them to cover up the nonsense symbols with and they would be WRONG.
You know, I'm not sure who flatulated your Rice Krispies, but this barrage of anti-show posts and new threads you've been posting as of late has gotten old, fast.
The "You're giving the contestants a HINT with the wrong price" is the most asinine argument I've ever heard. Your example, especially. Joe Blow having nailed down that hundreds digit in the price only to become perplexed when the game comes 'round. Unless you're a dealer, you just don't know that. You're still responsible for using the right numbers to fill in the price of the car.
And give me a break about Drew's "contestant bashing". It was painfully obvious he was joking, and if you really think he was trying to disrespect someone, you should get out of the house a little more. How many contestants has Bob chided over the years for comedic purposes? Lighten up.

You know, I think a fun balance between the jokes they're going for in Cover Up and the whole "cover up the wrong numbers" concept would be to make the fake prices ridiculous, like $00000 (We're not giving this car away for free!) or $99999 or $01337 or $09001 or $90078. You'd maintain the "cover up the wrong numbers" part while still making fun of how useless the bottom numbers are and also have some room for creativity. But that's just my thought (and I don't really have a problem with their just putting random stuff on the bottom, myself).
If it were me, I'd convert the 2013 price to 1972 dollars and put that number on the bottom.

To the point that they were apologizing repeatedly? Few, if any.
No doubt Drew meant it as a joke - he is a comedian, after all. But, Roger had made it clear in that long interview that palmer7 did with him, one of the first edicts of The Price is Right was (and still should be)...
Quote from: Roger Dobkowitz
Another thing I explained (to Drew) was that we would never humiliate a contestant.
Making fun of a contestant, joking or not for the express purpose of getting a laugh to the point that she's saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" over and over again, is humiliating her.
As for the rest of your diatribe against me, frankly I don't care if you find my expression of frustration about certain things that are happening on the show to be tiresome and you are perfectly free to disagree with my assessment that removing the wrong price in Cover-Up is a mistake. You can disagree with me all you want just as freely as I am to post my opinions about what is happening onscreen. Don't stoop to the level of attacking me personally because you disagree with my opinions. This is pretty basic stuff that's been in place since day one of this board. I would have expected a bit more from you, CJB.

Absolutely right. I'm not engaging in a pissing match over it, I just felt it needed to be said.
