TPiR 5/6/11: Cliffhangers' Special PrizeS

Hope no one is mad at me for spoiling the game :(

This went a lot better than last time Cliffy was a car game, Halloween 2009. The last SP was also $50 then, and I think she guessed $25 or something...just mentioning that show again is a bad idea...

Cliffy should never be lost, but the SPs were, as expected, pretty spread out and even a little deceptive. Could have been trouble.

I hate how nobody realizes that if you guess 20-30-40, you will NEVER lose.

[WayoshiM]

@RCPlanes59 Either that or lose by $1...there definitely was a playing this or last season where 20/30/40 resulted in $26 total difference.

Ew, Hyundai Accents. A nice surprise for a non-car game, though, but kind of weird to Mike to do it for this game since it can't really be set up for a loss. I wish Mike would continue Roger's tradition of occasionally playing 3 games for cars, though.

The mother really knew how to play this game! I wonder how often she watches the show, because she and her daughter were the first players in a while to make reasonable guesses on all three items.

@GameShowGamer Heaven forbid a 3 car day! We don't have room for those in the budget anymore with all that designer crap and luxury cars!

Also, of course it was 2 cheapo cars, otherwise we'd be getting into Big 3 territory (and Triple Play wouldn't have made much sense, honestly).

This went a lot better than "Pass the Buck" did.

[CycloneGU]

@GameShowNetwork - I dare them to drive with those plates on the front of the cars. They'd get stolen quick. ^.^

[GameShowNetwork]

WE WON THESE CARS

ON THE PRICE IS RIGHT

License plates!

[systemoperator]

This episode also had two SP games in it. I wonder why?

[itsalleternal]

For two cars, that was such an easy setup. I was expecting an evil forced loss.

Man, Price sure has been lucky giving cars away when they are offered in a non-car game first! I know of two other instances this season besides this one. Too awesome! ^^

[NYDanno85]

@WayoshiM There is precedent for cheaper cars in two-car games/double car showcases; usually It's Optional would have something fairly low-end, Chevettes or cruddy 4-banger Camaros; I also remember a showcase where you'd have 2 Subaru Justys at the end. Not surprising, but a $29K prize package ain't bad, regardless.

I bet Rhonda and Andrew were PISSED. They 1up'd the wrong bid, and lost out on two cars as a result.

[zachhoran]

were the prizes in that 20/30/40 loss worth $64 or $116 combined. If $116, 25/35/45 would have won.
