Last night's show drove me crazy!

Ricki needs to stay in the talk show world. It seemed like she had no control over the show. I still don't know how the Baywatch chick won.

The game is called Hole in One (or two)! She only had one shot and my mother even said Ricki needs to show how it's done (like Bob is the one that puts first).

And if Bob can do six pricing games, two showdowns and a showcase in one hour, Ricki can do the same. They only did a 35 minute game in an hour. And the way they determined who got to the showcase..

One thing I did like is that they did go over the history of the show.

I really hope they redemed themselves tonight with "Let's Make A Deal".

I am getting the notion that you are not fully hip to the full history of TPIR.

You are watching TPIR from the wrong vantage point.

Instead of watching it as if it should be an hourlong show, you should have watched it as if it was the original half-hour show, only with bonus features added. In the original half hour version, there was no Showcase Showdown; it was just the two highest winning players went to the showcase, so the showdown portion you saw was a first time "addition" to the "half-hour" format.

Ditto the poster who said that originally Hole in One was a one-shot deal. You missed, you lost. Simple as that. But I do agree that Ricki should have given that inspiration putt.

I am still undecided on Ricki's performance however. Once I see her in action on all the shows, then I can cast a verdict.
