God, what a loser. I was about 5-6 years old before you bitches even comment that it was like last month. WTF Seaguy?

You're just giving Kathy more for her act (since you seem to be a full-time person in it now).

Let's conservatively estimate that there are 100 shows filmed a year. That's 3,600. Now add another 400 to account for various nighttime versions of the show throughout the year. 4,000 shows, 4,000 showdowns, 8,000 bids. It's not surprising to me at all that one of 8,000 bids -- using variations of 4 and 5 digit numbers -- would be right on the nose. This one is a lot more entertaining to watch: Last Edited By: Gregoire 12/19/08 1:40 PM. Edited 1 times.

I think there wouldn't be this much backlash if Drew had only made a huge hoohaw as he announced the winner. It was just bizarre to watch him read the price blandly & move on. Now that I know they stopped taping it makes more sense but he still could have acted more excited. I'm slowly accepting Drew more on the show. I guess it's because I get his dry sense of humor. I especially love it when he disses the prizes. And he usually gets more excited over big wins than Bob did. That's another reason why the exact bid was so odd.

I'm getting sorta good at it myself since I watch all the time these days. I find myself being proud that I can distinguish the lovely Broyhill living room sets from those by Laura Ashley before they're even announced. I usually feel sorry for the contestants who get Broyhill shit. I like the Ashley ones better.

One of my favorite contestants (by favorite, I mean the guy was a dumbass) was this young guy who just moved into his first place. He was really desperate to get a bed set. He was the top winner going into the showcase, so he got to choose whether he wanted the first one or pass it. Well, the first showcase has something like two fucking cars in it, and the dude passes it, hoping to get a bedroom set. I think the second showcase basically had a nice dinette set and I believe he lost anyway.

Still would have gotten both showcases. I was looking at TPIR youtube vids and I saw this one. It's classic Bob. The contestant totally fucks up the game. � �� Last Edited By: Redhead9015 12/19/08 2:20 PM. Edited 1 times.

Drew probably heard it too. I bet that's the reason he stopped for the powow. But if you encourage people to shout out bids what do you expect?

I don't really watch the show anymore but I don't hold any ill will toward Drew. Of course he's not going to be as good as Bob, and of course the show will never be as good without Bob. But Bob had to leave eventually. Would you want the show to go with him? I want to believe the guy cheated, but how exactly would he have done so? It's not like the prices are somewhere on stage. At worst he memorized MSRPs of every possible product and added in his head, and that's what you're supposed to do.

If there is a 0, and it is included in the price, it will be at the end 99 times out of 100. The prize will also virtually always end with a 5 or 0. As for the show leaving with Bob, I don't think I'd mind too much. I really don't watch it now and I hate when gameshows have major changes. Any one that has been brought back tends to suck compared to the original.

I sware, I almost teared up watching that video. How can a person win that many prizes on one game show? It's amazing! Last Edited By: Gregoire 12/19/08 6:50 PM. Edited 1 times.
