Why are they deal breakers? You\'re not seeing an episode of TPIR, you\'re seeing the stage show. They\'re able to get more contestants to play that way.
Good that that\'s more player involvement, Chad and Trav. But that\'s not the show I grew up with -- hence the possible deal breaker.
Still thinking about.
Just look at it this way: It gives you a better chance of being called down. I didn\'t think I would like it either, but when I went to the show it really added to the anticipation every time they called people. It\'s still, of course, a long shot to be actually called down, but every little bit helps.
Chad, that new Showcase sounds awesome. I didn\'t really like the way they were doing it before. At the show I went to, I cheered along with the crowd when the new car was announced, but I knew it probably wouldn\'t be won (and it wasn\'t). Plus, the writing of bids caused a small controversy when one of the contestants meant to bid $25,000 but accidentally wrote $2500. They had to take the bid he wrote. Even though it worked to his advantage (the other contestant overbid), the whole situation felt a little awkward. The Ten Chances Showcase sounds perfect for the live show.
