In discussing "On the Spot" in another thread here, I came up with this topic. What games do you think are really confusing? And which do you think are really truly simple, but dumbfound contestants?

I really don't see why "Double Digits" got such a bad rep among us fans. It's really simple. I feel Bob just made it confusing with his wordiness condition back during the early years of the show. "Mystery Price" was something I understood, but I really felt it was wayyyy to much for the average contestant.

Is that the one where you get the prices before the prizes?

I think Split Decision fits here. It's really simple, but apparently contestants suck.

I think Hit ME is one of the easiest games ever on the show - and no contestant ever understands it. "We'd like to give you this prize. Duh."

That's the game I couldn't think of. I knew it was something that the board always ragged on contestants for, but couldn't remember which game. Hit Me by far.

Anyone who tries to literally hit me will find my foot in their ass. :-P

There are no confusing games on the show. It is a matter of some contestants not having enough brain cells to either watch the show, or understand the rules.

Well, I'm glad that was cleared up for us.

Double Prices boggles my mind every time I see it.

Desperado, you're joking, right? The most confusing game is obviously One Right Price. I mean, Double having just one prize is bad enough, but then they throw in TWO prizes for One Right Price...it's a miracle it's won at all!

Bonkers seems to cause even the moderately intelligent contestants to put the first disc above the 7 for the living room group. Contestants turning to the audience in most pricing games are admitting they don't know much about prices--contestants turning to the audience in Bonkers are admitting that they need to play a friendly game of Acey-Deucey. With me. For money.

Ya know Ottinger, if you're going to quote me as such, make sure to quote the whole post, not just bits and pieces as you see fit to make me sound like an ass.
