Comments

*Two pricing games were won today.
*Wow! They made Pass the Buck tricky! Instead of making it easy by having the starting prices $0.99 for the popcorn and $2.94 for the honey, they made it hard by making it $1.99/$1.94.
*Race Game was pretty tricky. The dishwasher was obviously $499. However, placing the other three price tags correctly wasn't as obvious.
*Push Over was also hard. There were four logical prices ($5,334, $3,349, $3,498 and $4,985).
*While on the topic of difficulty, Barker's Bargain Bar was pretty tricky.
*At least That's Too Much wasn't all that hard and Cliff Hangers was easy.
*That was one crafty move in Race Game. On Dennis' second attempt, he made it look like he switched the $980 and $499 price tags, when he really didn't.
*Bob said that one time in Cliff Hangers, the yodelling sound wasn't working, so the audience yodelledinstead. Did that really happen, or is Bob confusing the incident with the time the big wheel's sounds were broken? Please don't tell me Bob is going to start inventing events now...
*After Claudia modelled the trumpet, Bob said that Claudia could genually play the trumpet. He asked her to play it, but stopped her before she could play a note. Was he kidding? Can she really play or not? If she can, she's one musically talented person!
