| COMMENTS *This is the second consecutive episode that is great thanks mostly to a single contestant, in today's case, contestant #9, Scott! *You could tell Scott would be fun before he injured his knee... he was obviously excited, and bouncy! *Despite having injured his knee, Scott was still really fun and lively, keeping in good spirits, despite his injured knee. What loyalty! As Bob said, he won't be remembered simply for injuring himself, but for his keeping good humor about the whole thing! *Great quotes from Bob during the showcase showdown: "If I get $1.00, don't jump up!" "(after spinning the wheel) I think I hurt my arm... I think I need a seat--no, don't get up!" *I wonder what would've happened if Scott won his showcase? Obviously he couldn't have walked over to his prizes... would they have left the camera on the turntable area for the end of the show? *Dice Game was probably one of the best games Scott could've had, having the table to lean on. On the other extreme, Hole in One, Super Ball!!, or Race Game would've been impossible for him to play... I wonder what they'd have done if game #6 were one of those 3 games... *We got to hear more of the Bean Stalker today than usual, due to Dice Game's extended prize description. *Robin was about as bland as can be... except after winning her showcase, she was emotionless, and certainly not who I was rooting for in the showcase. *Besides Scott, Robert was a pretty good contestant... I wonder if he really did cancel a nose job just to be on The Price is Right... *Lee was also a good contestant... happy honeymoon! *There was no ticket plug today. |
