TPIR's Joker looks like a Joke!

[quote name=\'gameshowguy2000\' date=\'Dec 29 2003, 01:02 AM\']Well, even though it hasn't been done yet, I still think it'd be stupid to see a 5PT player lose after 4 choices![/quote]
I'm sure an esteemed colleague or two can provide a date, but I'd bet a shiny quarter that it's happened more than once.

Can't stand Joker; am irritated by Secret X; find Shell Game enjoyable enough. Heck, while we're using Shell Game as a crappy-game replacement, let's have it replace Bonus Game, which I can't watch without thinking, "Hey, everyone, here's the Shell Game drained of all its life--and with no $500 bonus!"

[quote name=\'Skynet74\' date=\'Dec 28 2003, 11:30 AM\'] About once a year I will actually give thought to the worst Price is Right pricing Game. "Joker" is the worst piece of garbage the show has ever had. It's Way to cheezy of a game to even be included on the show. It doesn't even meet the high standards of the show.

 So, are you trying to tell us you don't like the game? (sarcasm what?) I don't quite care for it either. I am under the impression that the only reason they keep it around is because it's an easy game and you can only play Switch? or Double Prices for a quick game only so many times in a given week. Just a thought.

I thought we had more or less decided that Joker nowadays is basically used as a substitute when a small prize game board is on the fritz, since it and Shell Game are the only small prize/prize package games that don't have mechanical or electric/electronic boards or props.
