TPIR doing Plinko stunt week of Apr 9th..

Per Buzzerblog,Plinko will be played every day next week. Publishers Clearing House is sponsoring a special jackpot- if the contestant's last chip goes into the 10K slot, they win 20K. If it's not hit, 20K will be added each day- so the last contestant on Friday might be playing for $100,000.  

Actually surprised they didn't save this for May Sweeps...

You know what happens when you have a special thing and then you do it a whole bunch of times in a row?

Before I answer, is there anything in the eligibility requirements about summary executions?

The most popular game on the show gets played every day for a week and the biggest cost that can/will be incurred will be covered by the sponsor. Viewers will probably like seeing it pop up more often and will be interested in the final chip jackpot. Win-win, I'd say.

Is that so? That's certainly less dumb. I still say you run the risk of burnout, in the same way as eating leftovers for a whole week. Eventually anyone would tire of steak if that's all you ate.

The TVLine story says "And should the final chip dropped land in the $10,000 grand prize slot, PCH will double that payday, to 20 grand."

I'd be more inclined to agree if it was more than a week or if we were playing Big Bucks Pick a Number, but it's just five shows with five other games on each one.

Fair cops to that.

Nonsense. Utter nonsense! This is going to be a "sewage chugger"! I hate these rule changes!

Well, the groupthink there wouldn't impact my opinion. I decided to give a look-see and the overwhelming response was predictable. Your comment is a piece of sanity in a flow of - you guessed it - overreaction and underthinking.

The chicken littles are indeed coming out of the woodwork at G-R.  Happily, there's a balanced number of leveler heads who aren't planning boycots or bemoaning the show's loss of integrity.

And I agree with an earlier post:  Why wasn't this done next month?

It would be like putting a Corvette on Any Number and play it for a week. Major burnout of a game.

I am curious about why we didn't see this kind of dislike about the Super Deal.  Just asking for compare/contrast.

The complainers on Golden-Road are about as annoying as Facebook complainers.
