Worst pricing games on Price is Right - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

i think Plinko is the worst game. it boggles my mind that its the most popular. Do these people that love plinko realize it's never been won, ever. in order for the game to officially be considered won, you have to win all 5 chips, and get them in the $5,000 slot (or nowadays $10,000 slot). nobody does that, or even comes close for that matter. Many occasions I will see people win all 5 chips, and only walk away with $1,000. what a gyp. the chips get stuck half the time to boot. horrid game.

My least favorite game is That's Too Much. Hardly anyone ever wins this game, and the fact that you have to scream "That's Too Much!" to lock in your decision does nothing but annoy me.

I hate lucky seven, although when i get the chance to visit the show & am watching from backstage, it is very fun to see the crew push the car out onto the stage.

spoken like a true price historian

I was at the show (1st show of season 30) when the record was set 23,000...that stood until this season when it was surpassed. I doubt if that game will ever be " won "

I hate the boring games like "pick a price" where basically you just choose the correct price of two prices given. Oh wow.

As for prizes, I hate anything that normally no one would go out and buy, even if they had the money, like those recreation vehicles like jet skis or waterbikes. They should give away computers, laptops, X-box games, trips to Hawaii, big screen televisions, etc.

I hate the one with the car horn.....everytime they make a price change, everything stops so they can blow that stupid horn

I liked the Phone Home Game, it gave people that couldn't go down to L.A. a chance to play. Perhaps someone that wasn't physically able to travel there, or someone that doesn't like the high crime of Los Angeles, can't say as I blame them.

Well now, that is taking things a bit too far. Crime is everywhere.

Being from So. California and visiting Los Angeles quite often, I have never had a bad experience in L.A. other than traffic.

This is not a thread abt Los Angeles crime or any other crime. You can go ahead and make a thread on that and see how well that goes with anyone else here.

As for TPIR it is filmed on Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles, a very beautiful part. I am sure MrIggles can go into detail with that if he so desires. All major cities have crime. If you think L.A. is the worst, than you are not one who has their information correct. It is opinion, not fact what you say.

Give me the beautiful ocean, the beaches, the walks in the mountains or all the nice things we can do right now in the winter, than you can in Michigan. Our winters are more like your summers.

You asked what the worst pricing games were, when I give my opinion, you come off with something else. Either you want people to post their opinions on the worst pricing games or you don't. Isn't that what this thread is for? If it is for something else, than I won't bother.
