END of Fireball's Episode #15

[wpghi5]

Let's go for 18 and 8 there Fiery. 

[BRB_TheFireball]

wpghi has his spin going.  He's looking for at least 60 cents.  And here's 95!



*audience groans*

This is ridiculous.  Absolutely ridiculous.  Let's spin that wheel again and get another 50 cents.  Our luck has to change by the end of this episode.  You can't blame me for at least trying to get some winners.  Let's see where the wheel stops this time.  45 would be fantastic.  Not 70!



*audience groans* *MRRRRRRRP*

And so it continues.  wpghi, thanks for joining us again.

OK, Pikachu, it's up to you to save the show.

[Pikachu732001]

I take 6 and if that is 55¢ or worse, 17.

[BRB_TheFireball]

Pikachu's first spin looks like it's gonna lead to another spin.  A little too fast for 65, and 70 won't get down here fast enough.



One thin dime.  Spin it one more time.  Hey, that rhymed! 50 cents to tie, 55-90 to win.  Here comes 70 for the win!



*audience groans*

No!  55 cents is one nickel too short.  Thanks for playing, Pikachu.

*Dig*

cu!  You're going to the Showcases!  And thos exciting Showcases are coming up after this break!

[BRB_TheFireball]

*showcase intro*



Welcome back to "Fireball's Price Is Right!  It's Showcase time, and I have a battle of Team GRRR here.  First time ever that two members of Team GRRR have advanced to the Showcase Round on my show.  The top winner of the show today is Jordan!  *cheers and applause*  And the runner-up is cu!  *cheers and applause*

This is gonna be an interesting contest because both of these guys are excellent CSS players.  Either one of them is capable of a DSW-quality bid, and Lord knows we need one today after having only one PG win.

Let's have the first showcase, please!

*Grandeur*

Jordan and cu, this showcase begins with this new...



... bathroom!

First...



... this double vanity set allows both you and your significant other to have your own sink and drawers.  The vanity and shelves are made of beautiful honey oak and the glass countertop makes cleanup easy.

Second...



... this high-performance toilet can flush either with a remote or by sensors.  Other features include heated toilet seat that automatically closes, warm water washing, air deodorizer, ass dryer, and nightlight.

And third...



you'll never have to worry about slipping and hurting while climbing in or out of a bathtub again.  The Jacuzzi Finestra 6036 walk-in combination whirlpool/bathtub is both safe and comfortable.  The easy-access door has three dual-tension latches to ensure a proper seal and the tub has 10 soothing jets and a 256-color chromatherapy lighting system.

And once you're all cleaned up, it's time to take a ride on your brand new...



waverunner!

The Yamaha VX Cruiser waverunner embraces sleekness, comfort, performance, and luxury all in one fun package.  And Yamaha's new remote controlled transmitter allows you to active both the digital security system and the fuel-saving low-RPM mode from 30 feet away.

And this showcase full of water can be yours if the price is right!

There it is, Jordan.  Do you want to bid or pass?

[UniquePerspective]

cu, I got you the perfect present. A showcase!

Pass, clearly.

[therealcu2010]

...yay...a random crap showcase!

$20,998.

[RCPlanes59]

I need to make an FRWS icon.

[BRB_TheFireball]

$20,998!



*DING*

And now, Jordan, here comes your showcase!

*random sucky new cue*

Jordan, your showcase is all about doughnuts!

You can make your own hot, fresh doughnuts with this...



... doughnut maker!

Just add dough and this automatic doughnut maker forms, fries, and drains delicious mini doughnuts in less than one minute.

Now if you're too lazy to make your own doughnuts, no problem!  We're gonna give you...



a year's supply of hot, fresh doughnuts!

You'll receive a one-dozen box of Krispy Kreme's world-famous glazed doughnuts every week for an entire year.

But if you want a taste of the world's most delicious doughnuts, then you'll have to go to the place that is believed to be the birthplace of the doughnut...



... beautiful Netherlands!

You and a guest will fly round-trip first class from Los Angeles to Amsterdam, Netherlands, for a 6-night stay at the Hilton Amsterdam, located in one of the capital's most exclusive areas.  And while you're in Amsterdam, you'll take a one-hour tour of Amsterdam's famous buildings, canals, and windmills.

And finally, there's a good chance that if you win this showcase, you'll be making doughnuts in the parking lot...



... in your new sportscar!  *Passing Lane*

It's the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe--comes with standard equipment plus 7-speed automatic transmission, full leather interior, and DVD navigation system.

And this showcase full of doughnuts can be yours if the price is right!

Now there's a showcase to salvage this episode!  I repeat, it's not every day that you can say the only wins on an episode of TPIR resulted in luxury vehicle wins.  What do you bid on these doughnuts?

[pathfinder20]

Jordan, I would say $97,985. (I smell expensive for some reason.)

[UniquePerspective]

While I do think cu overbid, I can't quite take the chance by doing $1. So I will go with $74,632.

[BRB_TheFireball]

$74,632!



*DING* *main theme 2007*

We'll have the actual retail prices right after this commercial.  Don't go too far!

[BRB_TheFireball]

*showcase intro*



And we're back!  Jordan, let's start with you.  You bid $74,362.  The actual retail price of your showcase is...





















... oh my God.  $98,162.  *audience gasps and groans*  That's a difference of...



*DING*

$23,530.  But oh, what could have been!  From the first row of the audience, I heard Kourtney call out $97,985.  Had you taken his bid, Jordan, you would've had a difference of... $177.  *more audience gasps and groans*  We would've been guaranteed an Historic Moment® on "Fireball's Price Is Right".  We would've had our very first double showcase winner.

But maybe cu will be our first double showcase winner.  His bid was $20,998.  cu... the actual... retail price... of your showcase... is...




















$29,327!  You win!



*DING*  A difference of $8,329!  *DINGDINGDINGDINGDING*  *main theme 2007*



Jordan, thanks for being on the show.  Maybe next time, you'll get that DSW.

cu, the wait paid off!  It took you 4 years to get on my show and now you're the big winner with $31,047 in prizes!  Congratulations!

This is The Fireball reminding you to help control the pet population.  Cut off their damn balls.  Peace!

Even though dprice did not sign up for the show, he did submit predictions... and wouldn't you know it?  He won this year's FPG!  He correctly picked Hi-Lo and Flip Flop, and correctly predicted that both would be lost.

wpghi5 came in second place for correctly predicting that Three Strikes and One Right Price would show, though he was wrong on both the slotting and the results.

TPIRmaniac gets third place for picking Three Strikes with the wrong slot.  He failed to put any win-loss indications on his predictions, and that cost him crucial points that could've possibly given him second place.

88JRFAN got skunked in his predictions... but he still gets FPG cash just for participating.

I got the auto-win, as nobody picked either Shopping Spree or Switcheroo.  That's $300,000 for me, plus a bonus $100,000 because 88JRFAN got a zero.
