38th Season of TPIR

Today a miracle happened. This woman played 1/2 Off, where one box out of 16 has $10K in it. You're given the opportunity to eliminate 14 out of the 16 boxes, making the final decision a 50/50 chance. She didn't get any of the elimination products right making her chose the one box out of the 16 choices. She picked box #7 and much to everyone's surprise, she picked the right box. When I saw it, I was like "Wow...".

I think that's the first win with a 1 out of 16 chance ever.

There have been two 1/8 chance wins that I can recall.

Too bad it wasn't the Million Dollars, like they had in Prime Time before, with the Million Dollars in for a 1 out of 15 chance of winning. She would've won the Million with no problem with those odds.

The unbelievable win:

DSW #2 today! She had a difference of $151. I feel bad for the runner-up though, as she had a difference of only $483.



Gotta love it when the contestant bids on the high end of a thousand (like $24,870) and the ARP is on the low end of the next thousand ($25,021). They automatically think when they hear that extra thousand that's what they're off by. You have to listen to the whole price!

[Smjh1979]

Yeah. That's one of the fewest modern day close calls the show has had in a long time.

Did anyone see the new game that debued Wednesday? It's called Rat Race. Here's the playing:



Seems like a fun game.

I found it to be a fun game. I'd like to see this game quite often for Season 39. There are still 2 episodes that'll air throughout the next few months. Otherwise, the show has gone back into reruns again.

Yeah I actually caught it... wasn't sure if it was a new show or a re-run. Does seem like an interesting game.

[Smjh1979]

From what I've read, that episode was supposed to be the "Season Finale", but there were still a few episodes left.

Well, today was the last show of the season, and it was a July 4th special. And it was special indeed - we had our 3rd and final DOUBLE SHOWCASE WINNER of the season! She had a difference of $185 and won $66,465 in prizes. Great way to end the season!
