For the doubters who say the at-home game is rigged, please explain how I won $50 tonight. No paper wasted, no ink wasted, no money spent, $50 of pure profit. Thanks GSN!

Rigged? Is that really the best word to use?

The at-home game is like an instant lottery ticket–the result has been pre-determined, but you don’t know if you’re a winner until you see how the game plays out. That’s hardly rigged.

I have printed out exactly 0 pieces of paper thus far. It pays to find freeware which allows you to “print” directly into a PDF converter.

I agree 100% with John…it’s not a bad show to watch, but it is totally “rigged” against the home players. The site has all the players email addresses and they need to send a list of winners every night to all players (if there are any winners) so we will know that we are not wasting our time, ink (which is so not cheap) and paper to print out 20 pages of cards.

The shows not bad, but the play at home cards are bull…I played with the maximim number of cards for three games in a row and every card would be one number away from a bingo. Then they give you realy high bonus numbers like 76 or 52, when they know the player is going to pick someones birthday on the 20th or the 3rd.

I commented about that whole “Hot Dogs” thing the other day. There are some “Zonks” on that bonus board, few and far between, but they are there.

I saw last Friday’s show and it was okay(3.5 stars) but I’m wondering if some episode will be shown on YouTube or have the numbers shown on this blog.

P.S. : Is the episode of 4/6/08 a repeat of any of the first five?

I thought the show was alright but like it’s been said, the game could be a disaster if contestants end up with the same letter left and it takes a while for it to come out, even if they edit it out, that screws over the home viewers. what i would do is if you already have that letter you can change it to a different letter and add that to your score unless, it’s your alst letter which you must get naturally. either that or add a couple of “wild’ balls which match any letter and add $100 to the pot heck, they could maybe even add a couple of bonus balls to the hopper like prizes, cash amounts from $50-$250, “steal a letter” which lkets you take an opponent’s letter you need, etc. up the payoff to $2 x the number chosen, and the players earn the money in their banks rather than it going into one pot, that way a better player gets more money, while equally a worse player gets less and let them keep it win or lose.

the bonus baord I think does have a slight element of risk. one ep. (I think Wednesday’s) the contestant found “a supply of hot dogs”. so i guessing there are a few gag prizes on the board. They really should reveal the board afterwards so we can see just how close they really were to the big money.

All in all, I liked it, Patrick Duffy did a much better job than I thought he would, I’m sorry I ever doubted him. Crystal even occasioanlly gets to throw in a slight ad-lib.
