Even Drew Carey is EMAW

[bonercat]

As I enjoy my work from home day today, I noticed an EMAW on The Price is Right. The guy won the Showcase.

Just another K-State competitive victory against large odds in March

What a thrill. What did he win in the showcase?

If I got on I would win both by guessing the value of loser domestic automobiles to within a few dollars.

My junior high guidance counselor was on the show a couple decades ago and won.  She won something like 3 trips and a boat.  Prob pak's at BoatPak.

If I was the first to spin the wheel, I would try to get just one complete spin for a dollar.  Seems much better than spinning it as hard as you can. You would at least have some sort of feel for how hard to spin it and surely have a better than 1/20 chance to get $1.00. Plus you would get to spin again if it didn't go all the way around. It's a strategy that would take me straight to the top I think.

there isn't anything better in the world than the price is right. but when you add EMAW into it.

I am awful at pricing games, but I would dominate the $100,000 pyramid if they still had it.

I'm also great at Family Feud. And Scrabble. And ...

I know a chick that went to KSU that moved out to Cali and was on the show about a month ago. No EMAW gear tho

Someone from that show came out a couple years ago and admitted it was rigged.

Something I've always wondered: Whenever someone lands on a dollar and they get the bonus spin for $10,000 or $5000 Bob/Drew always says make sure it goes all the way around or it doesn't count. But the thing is, they place the wheel on the bottom green spot so that if it didn't go all the way around they wouldn't win anything anyway. So what's the point of saying, if it doesn't go all the way around it doesn't count? It's unnecessary. Does this bother anyone else? That would be like saying on the putting game "make sure it gets all the way to the hole or it doesn't count". Well if it didn't get all the way there you wouldn't win anyway so why does it matter that it wouldn't count. So frustrating.

I think it's because it's a rule change from the normal spin. When you first spin, if it doesn't go all the way around, you get a respin. I think they're just clarifying that you get one spin only, no matter what.

I hadn't watched PIR in ages and ages, but I was home one day last week and watched and some chick won both showcases! And no shitty domestic cars that day, no sir, Hondas all the way.

It wasn't rigged, but a contestant, Michael Larsen, once "solved" it. He found a pattern in the system and managed to earn money plus a free spin every time. He had, like, close to 100 free spins and racked up six figures by the time he was done.

I would mock any showcase without at least 2 boats.  We all know boats are the best.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Was just watching Jeopardy and 2 of the 3 people finished in the negative.  Was so hoping the other guy would risk it all ($29K) and get it wrong.

[EuroCat]

Was watching this in an elite airport bar location at Bradley International this morning.

Best part was when he won the showcase several friends and family came down and rushed him/his loot. All were EMAW except some fat girl tagging along. Amazing she was able to get her hands on that much food being stricken by poverty and all. I'm sure EMAW friend will make sure lil' sis is taken care of.

by the way, what's the verdict on new drew carey?
