TPiR 2/18/11: The End of Futility

[peacebwilly]

id bang her nostrils

[MrWayForward]

That was quite a long three strikes, and she was very lucky to get all those numbers wrong and then managing to get the win in the end.

[pricefan87]

At 1:54, the Yellow podium failed to flash.

[thegameshowguy1]

Steve White is a good announcer but he is no Burton Richardson. CBS should've called up Burton and made him the permanent announcer for TPIR.

[WayoshiM]

@thegameshowguy1 Last I check Burton wasn't well-liked either. George is OK, he'll work

[thegameshowguy1]

@WayoshiM I had no idea. No wonder he didn't the job. If not Burton, then I'd call up Randy West or Paul Boland, Roger Rose, Bob Hilton, all the announcers that have been great on TPiR except Daniel Rosen. He's just horrific.

[rmx77]

@WayoshiM i say dig up rod roddy and keep him goin ha

[GCRams2]

@thegameshowguy1, I agree I think Burton is being anouncer for other shows cause of that his schedule is busy he could not do it. Now he did do a good job subing in for Rod. So you can he is a good anouncer but, due to schedule conflict he can not do it.

[GameShowNetwork]

@GCRams2 He's currently contracted to "The Hub"

[GCRams2]

@GamsShowNetwork, Thaks man he is the anouncer for Family Game Night.

I love a 3 strikes win, but it always looks a little weird that the price flashes, but the dollar sign doesn't. Or is it just me?

[ppjbonfig]

That 3 strikes win always to start the show exciting!!!!!!!

[vietpir]

it's about time someone finally won 3 STRIKES

under the 3 strikes in the bag sucks, but hey at least the "5" we see is back where it belongs. I LOVE THAT "5"

[Gimperman]

Lesa when her car on earth day 2011 using those same numbers but hers was $42, 853.

[The10impala]

Thank God someone won 3 strikes!

[khidak1]

I guess this is nature's way of sending a message to future contestants who want a shot at winning a car:

Let's win as many as cars on The Price is Right as we can every week, so the WayoshiM can post the big car wins on his webpage.

[djcchs2004]

Finally, this win deserve a clang & whoops effect.

[trivia212005]

And this is why I like three strikes.

[glmathgrant]

Wow, it shows you how little I follow game shows any more when I thought that 3 Strikes had been retired due to that infamous episode where Drew Carey bitches about how slow-paced the game is, thereby making the game longer. >.> I'm glad it's back, though.

[itsalleternal]

When was the last time this was won with 3 strikes in the bag?

[zachhoran]

a very long first PG for TPIR; it culminated in no SP games. Still not as long as the 12 minute Super Ball playing 20 years ago with Mohini.

[MrDominoes7]

I still love the Price is Right, I like the rotation announcers but I still say they should've kept Rich Fields on the show, they wrong for getting rid of Rich like that, the show ain't the same without Rich Fields, Phire Dawson, Lanisha Cole, Shane Stirling and Brandi Sherwood, they were awesome and I can't believe they gone.

[WayoshiM]

@MrDominoes7 Is this REALLY the time to worry about that?

[maggosh]

@WayoshiM Fanboys always have time to bitch about the smallest, insignificant things.

[khidak1]

I bet there'll be a big dispute as to which of the two car wins was the biggest, but I thought both car wins on Money Game and Three Strikes were big, and they helped complement the first winning show in about a week.

[mrhorgan]

@khidak1 Well, I for one would say 3 Strikes was the biggest win from today because the car was a Cadillac but Money Game was a great win too.

[mainenews]

this show has changed more in 4 years than the previous 36 years it was on the air.

[David9788]

they have a three strikes win for the first time sinch 2008

[TruncatedPR]

The show could have sucked from that point on, I was so happy.

That being said, it was a GREAT show. 4/6 games won, including being a 3-for-3 car day. Good times.

The only thing that would have made it better is if Steve White was gone.

[khidak1]

I thought both car wins on Money Game and 3 Strikes were huge.

[jarvisbrodiea9]

Mike Richards must be pissed off about this by now. HAHAHA!!!

[kjlibra]

8:10 Release the doves!!!! I surprised they didn't have a shot of the Blue Angels flight squad flying in the sky, confetti, balloons, a choir singing "Hallejulah". I guess that won't happen until someone wins Temptation. LOL

[RedFenril]

THE DROUGHT IS OVER!

[CoolNala]

Do you have the true WTF moment later in this episode? That was just wrong. Just wrong.

[WayoshiM]

@CoolNala And that's why I'm leaving it alone - pir.com has it up if you really want to see it, it's not the type of thing I'm looking to put up on this playlist, either.

As much as Mike, Drew, etc. want a "variety show" with sexual innuendos encouraged when they happen, I will continue to focus on contestants and gameplay

[CoolNala]

@WayoshiM Oh, ok. Just wondering.

[llproductions2006]

This game seems really unfair compared to many of the others. Even if you knew the whole price beforehand, your chances of winning are a measly 62.5%.

[GameShowNetwork]

8:13 - YOU GOT IT!!

First 3 strikes win in ages!!

[maddog015]

Glad to see Drew get excited. Sometimes he looks bored when the contestants win.

[horrorbro]

Yes!!! at 8:10

[coolpilot93]

Finally! I've been waiting to see this for quite a while. Congratz to the winner! :D

[Joshuaguss]

The first time since Drew been on there somebody won 3 strikes when they put all 3 strikes in the basket. I think it's was better when they put only one strike in the basket.

[WayoshiM]

@Joshuaguss We all do, but Mike wouldn't play the game even once every three months if it only had one X.

[TerrickTerran]

@Joshuaguss Well, yes, they've pretty much made the game impossible now.

[HomeRnDrby1]

Now is this the "Annual" or "Semi-Annual" 3 Strikes win? That's what I want to know!

[WayoshiM]

@HomeRnDrby1 It's been since 2008...this isn't like Bag anymore

[dragonmick]

@HomeRnDrby1 Lately, it's been tri-annual seeing as this is the first win on the Big 3 (4 if you count Pay The Rent) since Season 36.

[khidak1]

It doesn't matter, because this is what sports fans call a "SIGNATURE WIN" on The Price is Right, and the big win on Money Game also counts as a "signature win".

2 signature wins on the show, how about that?

[simpsonsfan89]

I thought they went back to putting one strike in the bag instead of three different ones to make it easier to play.

[GameShowGamer]

@simpsonsfan89 They switched back to three strikes last season.

[GSNSmashFan3]

Dang! I missed a Three Strikes win! I only watched the showcases.

[CoolNala]

@GSNSmashFan3 That's a shame! I saw it! I was amazed!

[TVLubber]

@CoolNala

Ditto!

[systemoperator]

You're not the only one. I missed it, too.
