Corrected, as you're clearly giving Pittsburgh way too much credit.

Odd little thing I noticed...I'm watching this morning's episode, and I notice Drew walked out, but wasn't greeted by a standing ovation, as had been the norm probably since before I was born.

Anyways, how long has that been going on, and what led to it? Drew being modest? Time issue (the intro seemed very rushed)?

I like the change seeing as how I think the standing O is completely overdone nowadays and has been for a good 15 years now (I blame Jerry Springer, it all started there).

I'm surprised that they haven't recycled the game mechanics at some point since then, especially since they seem to be relying more and more on simple, quick games these days.

Well it's a simple enough mechanic that I really can't think of a way to "redo it" that hasn't already been done (Finish Line and Hurdles were Give Or Keep knockoffs). Besides, it's still describing 6 small prizes, the main prize, and playing the actual game.
Fact To Make You Feel Old: Just about every contestant who appears in a Price is Right Teen Week episode from here on out has only known a world where Drew Carey has been the host.

Forget recycling it.  If Roger hadn't been fired, it would have been unretired this past season.
