Digital Camera (G)($3277)

Numbers:   0 5 6
Setting:   5 6 0   OPEN   WIN!

Funny thing is that since Barker didn't ask Joel to turn the wheel that safe, if were
real, wouldn't have opened.



3  Broyhill Continents Rotating Bar/Citracal Supplement (L)
HOLLY 450   Aaron 550   +Martina *600   +Ryan 1   ($615)

8 6 4 3 2

All this stuff was out for show...
(1) 2-Speed Blender
(2) Digital Voice Recorder
(3) (Presto) Salad Shooter

A couple of goofy things in this segment. First, It appears there was a deleted
overbid on the bar. Second, Barker says this is the third time someone has run the
board. Probably not true. But this game came with an error as the person responsible
for sound effects played the funny-sounding "wrong" sound instead of dinging the
chime. Oops.



SHOWDOWN #1
$ 4,989   Joel      35 + 65  1.00  *$1000*  Bonus 25   Through to Showcase Round
  7,889   Michael   75 + 60    OV   (Puny 1st Spin)
 22,245   Martina   45 + 90    OV


Oddball moment #3: Judy wants to "Come On Up", but when she gets midway up the steps
Barker lays a hand on her forehead, a la any miracle healer you've ever seen. Now, can
she say "Baby"?

The tragedy in all this is that this episode likely will never see the light of day
again - June shows rarely rerun, but this one's a gem so far.


4  Ridgeway Fairfax Grandfather Clock (G)
Holly 1600   Aaron 1   JUDY 1500   +Ryan *2100   ($2940)

1.  H H L H  :19
2.  H L H L  :07
3.  H L L L  :03
4.  H L L H  :00   LOSS

And just why did Ryan lose this game? Polling the Peanut Gallery, how else?


Meanwhile, Justine wants to come up to the stage, too. Barker escorts her
to the "Southpaw Steps" and gets steered in the right direction.

5  Captain's Cape Cod Telescope (S)
Holly 800   Aaron 500   Judy *1501   JUSTINE (OS) 1500   ($1980)

Judy plays HIT ME for a (Panasonic) 42" Plasma HDTV and an Encore Normandy Park

(4) Midnite Sleep Aid                79.60
(6) Capzasin P                       90.93

House Hand:  (Qd) As - 21   LOSS, BUT...

After she picked the trash bags Barker kind of plodded ahead without asking Justine if
she wanted to stop, which is the normal procedure. After the break on the suggestion
of an audience member he awards Justine the prize, though in reality she had no chance
in the world of winning it. She was done for once she picked the trash bags. Bottom
line: a TECHNICAL WIN



6  Fiesta Dinnerware (L)
Holly 600   Aaron *650   HEATHER 500   Justine 501   ($875)

Aaron plays MONEY GAME for a Ford Mustang (Std., WheelLock)(S)

Clearance Sale: Fairly easy, though I dreaded Michael being wrong because of the audience.

Safe Crackers: Kinda disappointed this wasn't played for a car. But I did find it nice that we got to hear more of the safe music during the playing. Barker's safe procedure was weird- he didn't even ask Joel to turn the wheel at all.

Pathfinder: Too easy! I guess Roger wanted to be kind to us today after getting shut out in the car games the last four shows.

Bonkers: No excuse for this being lost. The first digit was pretty much a gimme, but the player had to rely too much on the audience.

Hit Me: Terrible decision, Bob. Absolutely terrible.

Money Game: Very easy as well.

Showcase: I thought Judy had it won, but darn. I was surprised the first showcase was not that expensive, because the spa sounded nice to me.

Overall: Very good show today!

Clearance Sale-Nice set change; the bottom part of the price stands are yellow, the middle part in the shape of a red pricetag, and the top part is completely blue.  I'm glad Michael listened to the audience.

Safe Crackers-Odd that the zeroes were in place when the game stared and I can't believe that Bob did not tell him to turn the wheel.

Pathfinder-Second time this season it was played perfectly.  I liked the technical glitch at the end and Martina's excitement in the begining.

Bonkers-It was played poorly when Ryan looked at the audience for help.  If only he won, we would have a perfect show.

Hit Me-Judy probably had no idea how to play the game.  When was the last time Bob asked the contestant if he/she wanted to make the ace one or 11?

Money Game-Good playing.  Aaron got some gas money to go with the Mustang.

Overall a great show today.

Anyone else think Bob was a little off today? He seemed like he didn't feel well or something....he's been calling the SCSD just the "Showcase" for a few days now....

That being said, today was a great show. It's always nice to see Pathy, but it was extra nice to see it won EXACTA!

Good line up of games today as well....Money Game was played pretty well I think...Have Mustang Coupes always been under 20k? For some reason, it seems like they had been 21+ the last few times they had been used in Lucky $even...

What a fun show today.  Interesting contestants.  Some good game play (Pathfinder and Money), some not so great (Bonkers, Hit me).  Some fun Bob moments.  A jacket from out of TJ Hooker.  2 people trying to get on stage prematurely.

One of the better hours this season

It was a fun little show here, with the almighty Pathfinder being played, and some great contestants.  Bob wasn't really at his peak today, but it was still really fun.

Martina was just fantastic.  She was just insane on stage, before she even saw the car.  For that matter, Bob seemed to have calmed her down enough so that she actually reacted less strongly after winning (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/smile3.txt)!  So wonderful to see her win!

And the obvious blooper in Pathfinder:  anyone know what happened with the sound effects?  Or why Martina was erooed when she stepped to the zero, even though it was right?

Speaking of Pathfinder and bloopers, Bob made a mistake himself, telling Martina that either the 0 or the 5 could be the last digit in the price of the car, instead of the 0 or the 2.  I mean, there could have been a second technical win today if she did step to the 5, or if the 2 had been the last number.

I find it interesting that Bob would specify 1998 as one of the only two times that Pathfinder was played perfectly, since it was actually won perfectly three consecutive times that year!

Hit Me, Hit Me, Hit Me... I'm torn.  I don't really think Judy deserved the win, but only because it was impossible for her to win at that point anyway.  Had it been possible, then certainly.  But still, I can't say I disagree with the decision either, since it could be looked at as wrong, and even if there was no way she could win, she still needed to make the decision on what to do herself.

Having said that, Judy didn't really play Hit Me well.  Mistaking the Azo for the ace was understandable.  But thinking the trash bags were an 8--which Bob kept telling her repeatedly that she needed to find an 8--was not.

And it looks like the white Hit Me sign has changed to a yellower color.  The white sign looked better.

Michael should really be grateful for the audience saving his butt in Clearance Sale.  I didn't think he was going to change his mind, either.

I wonder why Bob didn't have Joel spin the wheel of the safe.

Speaking of Joel, why did Bob keep pronouncing his name "Joe-elle"?  That seemed strange.

So, I guess Beverly Hills supermarkets don't have wide enough aisles for cars to drive through.

And for my heels impression, Heather (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/smile4.txt).

Bidding Round #3- #244, Holly (http://img431.imageshack.us/img431/5824/244holly620065of.jpg)! :-D

Pathfinder- To say that this was an interesting segment is an understatement. That was just great television right there.

Bonkers- Why do people look out to the audience during this game?! DON'T DO IT!!!

Showcase- Who is teaching these people how to bid? Simply amazing.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY- Martina.

SHOW SUMMARY AND GRADE- A pretty entertaining show. Not overly spectacular, but still, pretty good... Grade: 3

Clearance Sale: It was easy to realize the digital piano would be the expensive prize, sale or not. For a moment, I was going to put the $1000 tag on the home gym, but that wouldn't make any sense. At least that wouldn't be as bad as Michael's original choice.

Safe Crackers: I won a $400 digital camera three years ago. The price shouldn't've went up that high to be 650 now.

Pathfinder: I usually get into 'possible exacta' mode when someone gets the first two numbers first. When I heard the trap for 0, I had a weird look. 2 better than 0 (this time)? Bob's saying of "5" also got me confused a little. Then I hear dings and the theme playing; "I think Martina won it." Then I got evidence that this game makes errors at times. A 1986 Exata? I laugh.

Bonkers: Seeing a pair of motorcicles made me think of Coming or Going when it played for a pair. Aside from the number logic, I thought of the only possible high even number, which was 8. My mind went bonkers when I said to make it (the 7) lower. This and Ryan's timely advice from the Peanuts wasted this playing. Besides, I would probably lose fiddling around with the 5 and 3.

Hit Me: "Ooh, an ace! Better go for 21 to win this." As soon as Judy picked the Azo [woman scream], I knew she would be in trouble. Then it got interesting when Bob forgot to ask if she wanted to hit or stay. Even though the house hits on 16, I wanted to hit (I should've checked the remaining products first). At least I was right about the House's ace: That a ten-ish card would appear. I think we might have a technical win here. We did.

Money Game: I was thinking either 35 or 42, then 60.

Questionable (to me). I figured this was very decent show. I didn't keep track of the wins until I read the recap. At first I would've been a little upset because Ryan ruined a perfect show by blowing Bonkers with the Peanuts' help. On the other hand, if it weren't for the Peanuts, Michael would've lost Clearance Sale, so it's break-even for them. Then Hit Me would've been a loss if Bob asked Judy if she wanted to stay/hit. I won't ponder on it anymore because I did have a decent time thanks to Pathfinder, Judy and Justine's Come Ups, and the Hit Me Technic.

I thought this was an interesting show today.  Clearance Sale--thank god the audience had Michael change the tags at the last second.  

Pathfinder---it was exciting to get an exacta in this game.  Apparently somebody in the control room screwed up---but Martina deserved to win that car.  I wonder if that car was used on a previous show....

Bonkers---this is the second time in a row where I saw contestants look at the audience for help.  DON'T DO IT!!! There is only 30 seconds to play this game---speed is the factor here.  This is as frustrating as yesterday's playing of Ten Chances.

Hit Me looked relatively hard today.

Showcases--both of the bids were great---but the birthday boy won his showcase.  I liked the skit of the second showcase in my honest opinion.

Donno if anybody noticed this...after Barker said "either the 5 or the 0" the 2 lit up and as Martina was moving back the "erooo" sound effect played.  My guess was that the sfx person payed enough attention to catch Bob's error (and so did the person operating the gameboard) to alert him...the number HE was standing on lighting up AND the "wrong number sound" so say "oops!".  Didn't really matter though. EXCELLENT playing.

Wow, Clearance Sale and Eazy az 1 2 3 played on back to back days!  It's not too unusual for them to show during the same week, but that is sorta weird.

And why couldn't Eazy have lasted as long yesterday as Sale did today? (http://www.golden-road.net/grnoldx/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

Oh, and if Michael had lost that game, I don't think he'd have survived the commercial. (http://www.golden-road.net/grnoldx/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

I wonder why Bob didn't have Joel play with the wheel in Safe Crackers.

The end of Pathfinder was weird.  First Bob gave Martina a wrong choice for the last number, and then, when she stepped on what was obviously the right answer, the EROOO played.  It made for a dramatic ending, but still, it was very strange.

Incidentally, Martina was an awesome contestant.

Have two people ever forgotten Contestants' Row on the same show before?

Bonkers should have been won.  Simple as that.

Hit Me, on the other hand, should have been lost.  I realize that Bob forgot to Judy if she wanted to quit, and I think it would have absolutely been right to check the remaining cards in the board during the commercial to see if she could have achieved 21 with them...but quite simply, by the time Bob made his mistake, she had already lost the game.  There wasn't anything she could have done at that point that would have gotten her a win, and she shouldn't have been awarded one.

The arrival of the car in the second showcase was hilarious. (http://www.golden-road.net/grnoldx/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif)

I would like everyone to be aware that I BEAT TYNAN ON CSS. :-D

In that regard, I'm glad it wasn't won.  A perfect show with today's Hit Me would have been a travesty.

But still, I can't say I disagree with the decision either, since it could be looked at as wrong, and even if there was no way she could win, she still needed to make the decision on what to do herself.


Oh, I totally disagree.  Her decision at that point in the game was completely irrelevent.

If Michael didn't listen to the audience, he would have lost.

I'm kind of getting used to the new reveal for Safe Crackers, it's okay. I would have said $650, and I wonder why Bob didn't make him spin the wheel on the safe.

Martina was a great contestant. I'm happy she won. When she stepped to the 0 I knew she won, but when the wrong sound played, it threw me. Also, Bob was standing on the 2 when he said it was either the 5 (which was already lit up) or the 0. I'm sure they didn't want to offer a technical win on a car game. Has that ever happened before?

Bonkers should have been won. I don't like when they look to audience, it takes up valueable time.

I don't know what to say about Hit Me. It's Bob's fault for not asking if she wanted to go again or stand, so I see no problem with awarding Judy the prize. But if she went again, she would have lost. The other 2 cards were 8 for the sleep aid since it is $9.95, and 7 for the Capzasin, since it is $12.99

Money Game was easy. 19 and 60 were my first picks.

Alot of good showcase bidders lately. And Bob seemed a little off today. I loved when Gabi crashed the car.

This was certainly an........interesting show.

Eazy was played twice in a row? Wow.......Oh wait......

I couldn't figure out what Michael was doing. You could clearly hear what the audience wanted him to do. Although I'm glad a contestant might not have listened to them, (See Bonkers) they were indeed helping him.

Maybe Wheel of Fortune has decided that every time the wheel is spun in Safe Crackers, they have to pay money.  :lol:

Strangest Pathfinder I've ever seen. But nicely played, nonetheless.

Martina was a great contestant. You knew a car game was coming, so you expected some more reaction.

I'm not even going to comment on Bonkers again. Well, I just did. But you know what I mean.  :-P

I missed Bob calling Hit Me a technical win, but I kind of expected it.

I'm almost surpised Bob didn't call the ace that the house had a 1, and continue the game, but I'm glad he didn't. If the house was a player, he/she would have stopped with 21. (I assume).  :-P

Nothing really special in Money Game. I was hoping for an exacta.

Gotta love the car reveal in the showcase.  :lol:

Geez, we're getting a lot of good bidders lately. I wonder if I can hire them to play the CSS for me.  :lol:

I really hope that this show does get rerun. It'd be nice, but, it's June.

Clearance: How much easier can it get?

Safe: Tricky, but won...and the safe was broken into, since he didn't spin the wheel to it(lol!)

Pathfinder: Martina!(the ultimate hottie who heels didn't recognize!) There goes Roger and Bob forgetting stats again! And Pathfinder was even around as long as either thought! Duh! FYI, exacta was just a couple months ago with the "Avon" incident...but the Impala was 21,584....now up to 21,590. Must be the expensive gas. Anyways, nice job sound effects person! Reminded me of the Carol/Cliff Hangers incident from back in the '80s.


Bonkers: He came close to winning as piss poor as he played this. I guess people must have watched the episodes of people asking the audience, and people think this is the way to play the game. Booyah! Don't feel sorry for his loss due to his stupidity!

Hit: I could see her getting tripped on the Azo, but the Hot Pockets should have been her first choice anyhow, it screams EXACTLY RIGHT! The Tidy Cats might be a tripper for a non viewer, but I had this right! Duh! Almost a Pappy setup and gimme win, but nah, she won TECHINICALLY!

Money: Wow good and fast! I was going 35 for the back of the car and would have been wrong! Nice!

Showcases: Very good bidding here lately! Suprised that we haven't had another DSW, but we got 5 shows to go! Maybe......maybe not.

7.75 of 10, the Hit me fiasco kinda got to me to do a 9 of 10. Yeah, we won't see a June episode again more than likely with the shorter summer rerun season this time.

EDIT: Yeah, Bob called the wrong number in Path also, not that it mattered anyhow. He's gonna call something wrong and cost Fremantle a car if he isn't careful

In regards to Pathfinder, during Bob and Rogers little chat about how many times it was played perfectly, Pathfinder must have been played perfectly more than 2 times, Pathfinder wasn't around in 1986 (but there was a perfect win on its first playing in 1987 if im not mistaken) and they forgot about that episode in March.

One-Bid #1 - Martina!  :-P

PG #1 - Ummm, didn't we just play this game yesterday?  :-P  :-D  Man, I thought there was gonna be a riot after Michael put the $2,450 tag on the home gym.  That piano was so obviously the most expensive prize up there.  Good thing he wised up at the last second and switched that tag.

PG #2 - OK, Bob's having a senior moment!  He didn't ask Joel to turn the safe wheel before opening the safe.  That's the best part of this game--turning the safe wheel!

PG #3 - They're playing a SP game without a "Dumbo" DVD?  That was unusual.  Wrong, Bob--we had a Pathy exacta with "Contestant of the Year" contender Avonne earlier this season!  Wrong again, Bob--the choices are 2 and 0, not 5 and 0.  And holy cow--Pathy malfunctioned for the first time in years!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  Methinks the Trivia Trap activated cuz Bob was standing on the 2 and the 2 lit up.

PG #4 - "Quit looking at the audience, Ryan!"  First number was obviously higher than 2, so that made 8 possible choices.  Ryan might just have been quick enough to attempt at least 6 of those 8 possibilities if he had used logic and 1) put the first disk higher and 2) didn't look at the audience!  Honda motorbike prices end in 4, so a pair of them would mean that the last number had to be 8 (higher than 7).  That would've given me, at most, 4 guesses to win.

One-Bid #5 - LOL!  First Judy, now Justine!

PG #5 - Yay!  Half Off cue!  :-P  And Hit Me!  :-D  Uh-oh, Bob's having another senior moment!  He didn't ask Judy if she wanted to stay or hit on 16.  Not like it matters at this point... the MidNite is an 8 and the Capzasin is a 7.  But I won't be surprised if Bob declares this a blooper win...

One-Bid #6 - Yep, I thought so.  Personally, I don't agree with Bob's decision to declare a blooper win given that she would've lost anyway if she had taken another card, but I ain't the executive producer, now am I?

PG #6 - Wow!  Another Mustang is won!  :-)  Today's playing of Money Game was... interesting.  Upon seeing the 9 numbers, I wonder why Roger went 15-17-19 for the three lowest numbers instead of, say, 19-20-21.  It almost made me believe that Roger was pulling a Frank by putting the back of the car behind 15!  :-P  And this car had paint sealant on it, but the last number was a zero!  When was the last time a car with PS/FP ended in 0 or 5?  Had I been on stage playing this game, I would've lost.  Upon hearing the paint sealant, I would've avoided any number that ended in 0 or 5.  I would've picked 42, 93, 81, and 51.

Showcases - Man, talk about your friggin' random spas!  And I didn't know Janice was driving that van...  :-D  :-D  :-D

My bids - Starcrossed:  $17,500.  Van:  $31,600.

Overall - Great show today!  Now if only Ryan had not looked out in the audience during Bonky...

Then wouldn't you say that's "a problem with awarding Judy the prize," seeing as there was literally no way for her to win at that point?

For me, this was a show of the year nominee. :-)

I wouldn't be surprized, Joe, if there was an edited overbid on the bar set.  I was shocked how slow the first half of the show was going, especially when they revealed Pathfinder.  The second half was also kinda slow, with Bonkers, not the quickest of one-prizers, leading off, and Hit Me, taking a while fifth.  Having said all that, thank goodness there was Money Game sixth, otherwise more of the show was liable to be edited out.

Something else about Pathfinder -- the 2 was still lighted up when the "path" usually flashes, resulting in six numbers flashing. :-P

Two things I'm getting REALLY tired of:

1) Contestants coming up on stage
2) Bonkers losses

With the setup in Money Game, it looks like The Dob wanted it won.

I think it should be fairly obvious by now to almost everyone that the "historic moments" Bob offers up are fictional most of the time.  Bob doesn't even really try to pass them off as the truth most of the time, and it's clearly obvious by watching Roger that he's just making them up.  Please don't blame this on Bob's age....

With all of that said, this show was just really fun to watch all the way through, just because it was so weird.  Bob did seem to be a bit off today, but today, it just made the show more interesting rather than really getting in the way of it.

Regarding Hit Me, I would have been ok with Bob coming back up after the commercial, showing the two cards she had left proving she'd have lost the game had she gone on, announcing the mistake, and going forward without awarding the prize.  

Martina gets my vote for contestant of the day.  She was just so excited to be there, and then the weird ending of Pathfinder.  I was very happy she won the car.

I guess. Sorry. Has this ever happened before, when someone is awarded a prize when they shouldn't have been?

SteveGavazzi, thanks for noticing my mistake---I meant LAST week, not yesterday.  Ten Chances was visibly frustrating last  week and I had to scream at the TV.  Even with Bonkers today, I screamed at the TV with Ryan's poor playing.  Ryan deserved to lose in my honest opinion by not being fast enough in Bonkers.

I honestly had no idea where to place any sale prices to win Clearance Sale today.  It was a very difficult setup in my opinion.

I was amazed that Joel won Safe Crackers.  There's no way I would have guessed $560 over $650.

Speaking of Safe Crackers, they better not have permanently dumped the bring-in shot of the three-digit prize.

Still speaking of Safe Crackers, I can't say I've ever heard the cue run longer than I heard it today.  That was nifty.

Martina started on my annoying side, but quickly redeemed herself.  She was wonderful, and that awesome Pathfinder win of hers that she managed to score made her all the better.

Speaking of Safe Crackers, the ending, as awkward as it was, was quite hilarious.

They have a giant red curatin on wheels.  I suggest bringing it out and using it to block the contestant's view of the audience when they play Bonkers!. :-P

Hit Me was just a mess, but even then, there was no justice for awarding Judy an automatic win.  Forget that Bob didn't ask her if she wanted to stop.  She couldn't win at that point anyway.  Her only hope was if Bob had made the house's ace one and played on from there hoping the house might bust, which I'm surprised that he didn't do.

I said in chat that Aaron would pick sixty off the Money Game board before the game was over.  I never thought that would actually be a correct choice. :-)

The van drive-on in the second Showcase was too funny.

Today's show was very good.

Even though what happened at the end of Pathfinder was kind of weird, it was still a very good playing. Also, Martina was a great, fun, contestant.

Having lots of contestants look towards the audience in Bonkers is really starting to get old, like today.

In my opinion, it wasn't necessary to award Judy a win in Hit Me.

Ten Chances is always frustrating. Bob always manages to relieve some of the tension with his humor, though, so it's not always bad.

On that comment about historical moments, I do believe Bob was right on the money about May 2005. It was that exacta win on Switcheroo, and said that hadn't happened since 1984. Well, if he wasn't counting Tom Kennedy's version, he probably had it right. But later in the same show, there was a Bonkers exacta win. In the video, I still have trouble figuring out if Bob meant 2 exacta wins hadn't happened in the same show since 1976, or Bonkers hadn't been exacta since 1976. Lol, me thinks he could possibly have been trying to say Bonkers was around in '76.

Incidentally, I just thought of this, is the sound effects lady the same one that was on the "50 years of CBS" special back in 2002? I forget her name, but there was a clip of the TPIR segment from that show at tpir.tv. She seems a lot sharper than that, maybe they have some newbies up in the booth? Scott would probably know this one for sure....

Clearance Sale-Good job with Michael winning Clearance Sale.  Audience really helped him out.  Good job!

Safe Crackers-Easy.  Great win!  Obviously now the wheel on the safe does nothing.

Pathfinder-Haha, Martina's reaction to getting up on stage was awesome!  Awesome Pathfinder win; played perfectly.

Bonkers-Him looking at the audience costed him big time.  The first digit was definitely higher, so that gives you 8 choices maximum; then the 3rd digit was more than likely higher, so that's basically 4 choices.  If he wouldn't have looked in the audience, he would have won.

Hit Me-She said she knew how to play the game, but obviously she didn't know how.  She would've lost anyway.  I was shocked that Bob actually gave her the prize.

Money Game-Playing can't get much better than that.  Excellent playing!

What a way for Joel to celebrate his birthday: winning his game, getting $1000 on the Big Wheel, and winning his showcase.  Good job!

Okay, this deserves commentary today.

First off, as many oddities as occurred, it was a GREAT show.  With the excpetion of the Bonkers playing, the show was well done.  Bob had some senior moments, but it was thoroughly entertaining.  Incidentally, with regards to Pathfinder, I would be willing to guess that someone thought Bob's foot was the contestant stepping to the 2 and after it lit up (as it should for a recap, albeit late) the sound effects THOUGHT the contestant was stepping there and signaled the buzzer effect.  However, once the mistake was discovered, that's when the hub ub started and the dinging and flashing, etc.  Basically, I would say there were ANY NUMBER of reasons that the game error occurred.  And it was interesting seeing the two blinking as well during the win; that's one I would ask CBS Electronics about for an answer as to why, I honestly do not know.

As for Hit Me, I think she should not have been awarded the prizes, but my guess is that the audience felt a little weird about it during the break and even though she technically had lost at that point of the game, good faith would say to award her the prize anyway.  We all know that Price has always been VERY GENEROUS if there is ever a concern about fair play of any game.

Pathfinder: Very Interesting to see Martina go crazy.  And it was also interesting to see the Trap buzz first, then the right # bell.

Bonkers: Sigh...I'm starting to like this game less and less.  This should have been won, pure and simple.

Hit Me: I thought giving Jane the techincal win was too generous.

Showcase:I got a kick seeing the van knock down the food display.  Both bids were really good.

Overall: Another great show!

Pathfinder and It's in the Bag have seen increases in play lately, which I think is great.

Bob knows his historic moments are completely inaccurate. He just does it because it's becomes a fun running gag. After making a big deal about Switcheroo, he made the joke about Bonkers not being won on the first try since 1976 because he knew very well that the game hasn't been around that long. I thought it was his funniest one.

Apparently when they press the "win" button on the console, it causes any numbers that are already lit up to start blinking. Since they hadn't turned off the 2 before the contestant stepped to the 0, they hastily lit up the 0 once the theme/bells started and quickly activated the win sequence, neglecting to turn off the 2 in the process.

Ok, I attended this taping. In fact, I was sitting to the right (on camera) of Justine, in a crazy blue Hawaiian shirt. Nice to get some Camera time. As for the Hit Me win, when I saw Roger have a talk with Bob, I was hoping that she wouldn't have won Hit Me. As for the Pathfinder blunder, he had a few funny words to say during the commercial. Not to attack, but after hearing the Bonkers guy rant and rave in line (about how excited, and great he was), I was sorta glad to see him lose, A total Evil thing. Had a fantastic time for my first taping. :D

Since I was sitting right next to where the allready played contestants sit, I just want to comment on how on-the-ball the contestants assistant was. Nice Job. ;)

There's a video of this on YouTube. Interesting note that this episode was taped before the $40,853 (Angela's episode) day. In fact, I have this Pathfinder error favorited on that site. I burst out laughing when I heard the trap buzz and then the dings. That was priceless.
