🌝My all-time favorite parts of the bedroom prize presentations, since I was 16, were the nightgowns that the 'Barker's Beauties' were wearing!!😍 😍HUBBA HUBBA!!!😍
Drew Carey disliked it when he took the reigns. He didn't like the fact that a contestant can play perfectly and still lose by just bad luck. (Although he was able to forgive that notion with other games like "5 Price Tags" and "Secret 'X'")
Joker was fun. Its basically shell game but you can still lose as there is an extra shell (or card in this case). I think they removed it due to the fact you can still lose even if you got all four picks and that was deemed un Price is Right like. But I think that added to the fun of it. You could still lose even if you got all 4 out of 5 cards discarded. Added a dangerous element that is missing in games like Bonus Game or Shell Game where you knew you won if you got everything right.
bigblue999 Joker is also kinda like Secret X as well, sure I can see why some people hate this game because I saw in a British version "Bruce's Price is Right " one contestant got all four picks but did not discard the Joker.
I saw that happen a few times in the US, too. The contestant should be rewarded with something (not just small prizes) if they know when the price is right. This is why they added the bonus for Half Off.
But 5 Price Tags is not a game of pure luck. The player might have an idea what a vehicle with certain features would cost. In Joker, all the cards look alike until the faces are revealed.
I do wonder if one issue with Joker was finding small prizes that were compatible with the game, without it being too easy (For example, a $19 prize would have choices of $19 or $91, and the contestant would have to be pretty dim to say $91 for say, a travel bag or something).
