chessiegal July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 I don't normally watch this show, but it's on when I go to the gym. I gather they are in repeats this week since it was spring break today. I couldn't believe the guess the woman who was going for the VW Jetta - her 1st guess for the 1st 2 numbers was 42. Really? A VW Jetta cost over $42,000? Maybe she's never been car shopping.

junemeatcleaver September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 (edited) There was a guy on today name Corey who was obviously using the show to build up his resume reel or something. It seemed like he thought he auditioning for a Tyler Perry sitcom instead of TPiR. Thankfully, he never made it out of Contestant's Row, though his last bid was, imo, purposely over-the-top stupid.

The treadmill thing doesn't bug me I would guess 80% of the prizes the guests don't need or can't use (appliances or patio furniture or jacuzzi for apartment renters, cars or motorcycles and some don't have license, extreme sports equipment for elderly great grannies, ect).

SnideAsides May 27, 2016 Share May 27, 2016 Ratings for the three specials: Survivor special: 1.3/5 (6.22 million viewers) BB special: 1.1/4 (6.41 million viewers) TAR special: 1.2/5 (6.67 million viewers) It is interesting though that TAR got the biggest audience. I know it's at least partly because the other two shows were up against The Voice, but it's telling that the show that's become an afterthought in the CBS schedule is the one most people were interested in seeing - and, incidentally, that rating is bigger than the TAR itself got for any episode this past season. It's almost as if moving TAR to a Friday night timeslot was a mistake. (I am not sure how Survivor had the highest rating but the smallest actual audience. Fewer people watching TV on Monday night?) I do think it was a bad move picking only ultra-recent players and big name contestants though. Why bother to get, like, Daniel from Survivor: The Amazon to come in if there was exactly zero chance of him getting picked, especially when most of the players CBS insists are popular (Frankie Grande) and fan favourites (Frankie Grande) are some of the most hated (Frankie Grande) people (Frankie Grande) in the history (Frankie) of reality (fucking) television (Grande)? If that was the approach they were going to take, why not just get six people from each show and have one come out for each game instead?

Eolivet May 28, 2016 Share May 28, 2016 Thanks for the ratings, SnideAsides. With the usual disclaimer about how content isn't necessarily correlated to ratings, I think you have a point. I wonder if they should've started off with Amazing Race (or Big Brother, since it's coming back soon) and saved Survivor (their most popular show) for last, after the specials had built an audience for a few days. I read those ratings as "People didn't know it was on, and once they found out, they kept tuning in." I think picking big name players was good for the audience at home -- but Amazing Race and I need to have a serious talk about who they consider "big name players." I couldn't pick Ashley and Ally out of a lineup, have only the vaguest recollection of Nat and Kat and after five minutes of going "Wait...what," I finally remembered the Jets cheerleaders. I also think picking polarizing players (like Mr. Grande) was by design -- Rupert and Boston Rob from Survivor both have their share of fans and detractors, but at least I knew who they were.
