All-Plinko episode of Price is Right (Sept. 27th)....

This deserves its own thread. Should be fun to watch. PIR geeks are going nuts over this......

There's Going To Be An All-Plinko Episode Of 'The Price Is Right'

Was it someone here who suggested that this is how the NBA Draft order should be determined? I love it.

Drop from the center slot with the teams with the most losses getting the middle spots at the bottom?

Plinko is one of my least favorite Price is Right games, so I say "Boo!" to this

I love Plinko. It's my favorite PIR game and I love having the PIR iPad app because I can play it when I want. But an all Plinko episode seems a bit extreme.

I'm sure you'll prove to be right on that, at least by the 5th round or whatever. But it seems like a smart move from a PR standpoint.

I didn't think this was possible.

I'd like to see extreme Price is Right. Like a Plinko board that's as big as a skycraper. Or Cliffhanger with a strapped down midget being pulled up a real mountain.

This and "cliffhangers" were always my two favorite games. I even have a plinko t-shirt.

Not enough consistent drama. Guy misses badly on the first guess and you know how it's going to end.

Meanwhile you're a peg away from dead center and you have no idea where it will end up.

The yodeling is what sells it. If Plinko just added yodeling chips to their game, it would be the ultimate.

I'm having a hard time reading this thread title without wondering what appeal communist sympathizers have these days.

Yup. I don't know if they've updated it in a while. I bought the older one. But it's pretty damn fun on the whole.

They released a 2nd one called Decades, but I don't have that one. I have the one from 2010. It's decent on the replay scale, I mean, after a while you'll start to get bored but once you've unlocked the games -- you do once you beat them -- it's nice to just dive in and play Plinko or something when you want without doing contestant's row.

Looks like I know what I'm reading this afternoon when I need a break from work.

Going to have to DVR this on Thursday. Should be fun to see Bob back on the stage.
