My "Price is Right Live!" Review

Jimmy Owen:
Would you say memorizing the prices would be the equivilent of counting cards in the casino?

[quote name=\'chris319\' date=\'Oct 21 2003, 12:04 PM\'] You attended three shows. How do they handle prize rotation? If they used the same prizes every night, what's to prevent someone from attending one night, memorizing the prices, then coming back to subsequent shows knowing the prices of everything? Admittedly Pl!nko and Hole in One or Two aren't as susceptible to this problem as the others. You need games where knowing the prices doesn't assure a win.

Were any music cues used? [/quote]
 The only prizes that I saw repeated in the three nights were the refrigerator used in Cliffhangers (whose price has no baring on the game itself) and the Car/Trip in the showcase. They do change around the third prize in the showcase so it is a bit different every night. The showcase is usually in the $17K range. The car for the three nights was a Chevy Cavalier.

All of the little prizes used in games like Race Game, Cliffhangers, Hole in One and Plinko were mostly new. They used some staples such as the Eggland Eggs, Starburst and Fiji Water.

They do use the same music cues for the appropriate games. The buzzers, overbid sounds and even down to the wheel 'beeps' were duplicated for the Reno show. It is a pretty amazing undertaking to say the least.

 Nice pics.

How long has this project been in the works, btw? Did they have to change the turntable designs when the hollywood one was scrapped?

Oh, and Tim: are you sitting at a PC with a transcription or something? You've been in the top ten on Millionaire a lot lately :-)

 Thanks and no I just remember the shows, at least the ones I have seen. It is my favorite show and I loved it long before I was actually a contestant. If I had transcripts I would have a perfect score. ;-).  In fact I am not always first. There have been some nights I have had sucky picks. I can not remember everything. <g> Plus there is no bonus in the interactive for coming in first. I wish there was.

Tim :-)
