Scroll down a pinch to Switzerland. (I'll let you stop for a moment to take a peek at Rachel in the first picture.)

They are now using green screens for the trip skins now.

Discuss ahoy.

In all honesty: What took them so long? It's only a cosmetic change IMO! No big deal!

I'm surprised they even bothered with a frame and "Switzerland" lettering. Stick a door-sized green screen in there, and let Carey handle the comedy that results from fitting downtown Zurich behind door #2.

/Ryan, how many doors does that prize have again?

Several flaws.

Door 3 is green, now requiring the door to open just as the contestant is making their way onto the stage.  This ruins any sort of surprise and contestant reaction shots.

Obviously you see nothing in the studio other than the name of the location printed over the screen.  I just have a hard time believing that any of the reaction shots will look normal when they cut to a contestant who sees a giant green billboard.

Contestants wearing green can be no longer in front of the screen.  (Safe Crackers, Showcases, etc.)

It's my understanding that they are just sort of 'winging it' trying to get around some of these problems.  I just very much hope they don't institute a forced reaction shot (retaped or whatever) if it continues to be a problem.

Some of you really need to unwad your panties and question whether you should be caring as much as you are.  If Rodger was making these changes, would the reaction be the same?  Something makes me think its more about that than anything else.

Yes it will.  Just like every single other aspect of the program, regardless of who was controlling it.  You hate everything, Mark; you're not exactly in a position to be giving lectures about this.

I already responded to this in the Barker's Marker$ thread a couple weeks ago.  I'm not doing it again.

Yes -- but Roger never would have approved something so ridiculous to begin with.

I'm sick and tired of you waving this card every time I say something, be it here, or on Wikipedia.  I've done nothing but enjoy the show since Drew took over. Imagine that.

What, no surprise reactions? The same comments were made about the Plinko reveal. Again, NBFD.

Somehow, I doubt that people would be complaining as much.

Why are they keying to the same shade of green as the door?

Why are they staging games that will use the CK board at Door #3?

Again, I was under the impression that keying technology had improved to the point where this wasn't an issue.

Then try saying something positive about something at some time other than immediately after I've pointed out your apparent hatred of the entire universe.

That isn't even close to comparable.  The problem with the Plinko reveal is that it's terrible on television.  The problem with using a green screen for trips is that it's terrible in the studio.

Because I shouldn't have to post the damn thing again when it's already there for you to go back and read if you really care to (and frankly, I don't think you do -- you just enjoy taking potshots at the Golden-Road guy).

[/quote]
You know, if you'd get over your blanket hatred of Golden-Road, you'd realize that we did complain about things that were done under Roger's watch -- there were set changes we didn't care for, rule changes that we didn't all agree with...such things just tended to come up far less frequently than they've been doing since he was fired two months ago.

A guy chuckling at the goofy picture across the stage is a hell of a better shot than a guy staring blankly at a green wall.

Not to get on my high horse or soapbox, but let me just take a moment to remind everyone freaking out that this is simply a television game show. It is not as if we're changing the appearance of the American flag. A simple update in television production that, quite frankly, could have been added fifteen-twenty years ago and has no really horrible impact upon the show is all that is being added.

Just think about that before you go nuts on someone else or go nuts with your "end of the world" mantra.
