Coming back from our forays into bad jokes and flaming, I will say "Hit Me" threw me as a kid because it always seemed they would come out of the prize descrip with Bob saying "[such and such] has seen Hit Me before, where do you want to start?" It made no sense to see a bottle of pills with $36.33 in front of it, see a new number and then a card. Once I got online, I found out the rules.

Ooh, that 'Any Number' game makes my brain sweat. I mean when they threw in that one digit that repeats... utter chaos!

And don't get me started on 'Pick A Number'.

Well, I'm glad that was cleared up for us.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

No--but he is the resident butthole on any game show site with a message board.

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!
Players of Double Prices and One Right Price have the same odds of winning as someone who has made all the right moves in Half Off. A player who makes one little flub in Half Off has the same odds as someone who botched three out of four small prizes in Bonus/Shell Game.

Just thought I'd throw that in.

Which is why the prize for 1/2 Off is 3 times the sum of the prizes in DP or 1RP.

Just my 2 Barker Bucks worth -- I nominate Balance Game for one of the most confusing games.  It wasn't enough to know the prices, you had to calculate which prizes in which combination to put on each side of the scale to get it to balance.

At least the contestant got to take home a Barker Buck for a souvenir....

Barker Dollar, not buck
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS
