The Price is Right Big Money Week
« on: April 10, 2013, 08:29:19 PM »

During his appearance on The Late Show with Craig Ferguson, clips from The Price is Right were shown and Drew confirmed that there is going to be a Big Money Week sometime soon. During the week they will offer over $1 Million in prizes.


 


They showed three short clips:


1. Punch-A-Bunch will be played for $250,000.


2. A Ferrari will be offered in a pricing game. (Drew kind of spoiled the result of that)


3. Plinko will be played for $500,000, with a $100,000 slot affixed over top of the normal $10,000 one.


 


Sounds like a cool idea that can be pulled off, especially since Million Dollar Spectaculars have fallen by the wayside for now. The only thing I didn\'t like from the little that was shown was how easy it is to win so much money in #3.

This actually might get me to put TPIR back on my Tivo, however briefly.

First Pay the Rent, now this; apparently they got over the budget issues right quick.

It seems like, at least for Plinko, it\'s way too easy to walk away with six figures. Granted, they\'ll probably up the small prize difficulty to keep someone from getting five chips, but it still seems too easy. Why don\'t they just play like normal, then trot out that Gold Plinko Chip that\'s been gathering dust and play a bonus chip for 10x?

By WolframAlpha\'s calculating you have a 23.7% chance of parking at least one chip in the center slot. Either they\'re flush with cash, Drew or some marvelous benefactor is helping out, or maybe they\'re going to do the cash as an annuity.

This isn\'t going to move the ratings one bit - why wouldn\'t they do this for a prime time ep - to garner interest in the daytime show?

And, \"The Talk\" is doing a Big Money week too. I don\'t know what that entails, nor would I care.

A male audience member is placed in a booth, with a buzzer. If he can endure the hostesses\' cackling for at least :60 without pressing the buzzer, he wins a progressing jackpot that starts at $10,000, and increases 1/10 each day. From what I read, no man made it past :07 in the beta testing.

Clearly the test subjects were all heterosexual, then. Because I know some guys who could win that easily.

I can just hear a lot of general managers of CBS stations ask, \"Why didn\'t they save this for sweeps?\"
