Episode 1 Recap

Knockout is an original pricing game created by Jordanar18. The contestant must guess the correct price of each of the three prizes, and may do so in order. However, if the contestant chooses to go in order from least to most expensive, he gets to "knockout" one of the choices for the next prize. The contestant may quit at any time, because if he misses a price, he loses everything.

COMMENTS:

Excellent show. All the contestants were enthused about being chosen to compete in Jordan's premiere episode, and plenty of exciting wins were had, including the exacta in Race Game, the debut of Knockout, and mike's big Punchboard win.

Knockout seems to be a success. JayC understood how to play the game pretty well, and we got an exciting win to get the game off to a great start. Jordan asked the audience if any of them could think of a better name, but no one could. So it seems that this game is here to stay.

With Caravans usually around the mid-$19,000 range, jhc avoided the trap of stopping too early in That's Too Much -- a great win.

Hit Me was originally slated for the number six slot, but the producer decided to give more of a challenge to cap off a perfect show -- one that didn't materialize. A painful loss it was, since the Aspercreme was only a little over 50 cents less than the popcorn. rcbought got his revenge in later shows.

Sure seemed like mike thought he was bidding on a trailer, to me. :)
