As was explained to me, Bob failed to mention it was "mathematically possible" to win one time and the contestant claimed later to "not be trying" to win. The whole thing turned into a mess as Chris (it's Chris, right? :) briefly touched upon. I forget if it was actually a legal thing, or just between the show and S & P. Either way, it kinda hung badly on the game as its fault.

You're welcome to jump in and set the record straight, dear (in a manner of speaking).

It's true.

It took too long to setup. [/quote]
 What's to take long? It rolled out, plugged in and a camera got behind it. It was no more time-consuming than many other games.

You can believe what you want. I asked and that's the answer I got. However, I'm sure mechanical issues were also taken into consideration.

But it was the time it took to do that. Plus explaining the rules to dumb contestants, inspiration roll, contestant possibly rolling 4 balls, 3 door reveal, etc...
The whole thing took to long and there wasn't any time left in the show to play any long games (they could only play the small quick ones)

I think this was one game that suffered due to the addition of more commercial time.

dont know why "Its Optional" was retired. It seemed like 2 Cars was a pretty good price, nevertheless what it came with. However, picking the options was weird idea. Also, it was different than any other game. Instead of grocery/department store prices, it was car option prices. I think a game that offers 2 cars would be pretty cool. I think Triple Play is a bit too harsh though. I mean its all or nothing. Even on Golden Road, you get some help, and if u dont get the big prize, u get the ones u've one, and u get the choice of 3 or 4 numbers to choose from. If they put a second chance thing on Triple Play, that u could use once in the game, maybe have an extra price to pick from, it would be a less worried game. I dont think the game is exciting, only the prizes that are up for grabs. I dont believe in games like the old superball that ud have to get the ball in the whole in order to win, even if u were perfect on the prizes, but something in the game should be fun. I used to hate spelling b, but thats a very cool game.

i should stop before i ramble lol.
