i liked the idea of this game, but felt it was too hard to win. the set up was fine, maybe one too many items to choose from??? this game could work, but as its been proven, it's too hard.
When the Announcer search originally started I was marking out for Randy West because I liked his announcing alot. I was dissappointed about him not being chosen, But rich does a damn solid as a hunk of platinum and his voice does fit in a bit more.
You know, although On the spot is retired now, I have oftened wondered if Drew Carey could have figured this game out that is if it was still in the pricing game rotation.
I don't know how, but they would have to reveal the Car behind Door 1 or 2 because almost every game (Car or prize package) would be revealed behind Door 3.
I remember this game, although I never saw it much on the show. I remember that it was one of my favorite games. Or, so I remember. And, I assume that this was right after Rod dies, because this guy is Randy West, I think is his name.
This is a great example of a good idea that gets executed poorly. I don't dislike the color scheme but it could be better. Unfortunately, as seen here, this game is very manipulative. It could turn out to be quite easy, but many of the playings I remember ended in losses (I did see a few wins, though). I am somewhat disappointed that it got retired, but it gives other small prize car games (which there are many of) more screentime.
This game's premiere didn't air originally on 1/27/03 due to a CBS news Special Report.

I was never a fan of this game, only because it looked like the setup was designed by a kindergarten class.

she should have gone with yellow second, so that she would have eliminated some before, since she know what was 12, makes it easier

ACK. What a confusing clusterf**k of a game.
Best thing about this clip: Randy West. He should've gotten the permanent announcing job.

It's amazing how we don't remember these missing games until they are brought to our attention. They should reintroduce them again.

On the spot was taken off the pricing game rotation due to a bad setup, a low win percentage and very confusing rules.

The game was up to NO good in the first place!! That's one reason why it was scrapped!

Very low winning percentage, plus Bob didn't really like the props. Thought it was too "cheesy"
scoot1105 3 years ago
It wasn't very popular. The winning percentage was poor and the setup was extremely flawed!

On the Spot was retired in 2005. Contestants really never won it because it was confusing. I only saw it won 3 times. But it was cool

The game was terminated due to low win percentages and the fact that the game was too confusing for some contestants.

I loved this game, but the colors did sometimes strain my eyes.
Too bad this game only lasted 2 years.
I loved how the contestant tried to playfully step off the spot. And maybe Bob might not have noticed. lol

Randy's voice is really smooth in this clip, some of his best work.

Unless I'm mistaken, this was one of the games that hidden behind either the Race Game Curtain or the red curtain.

I think instead of small prizes, they should have used six grocery items. That way, there would have been a lot more wins in this game.
