Well, oddly enough, I'm going to start with the showcase, as that was the most... interesting part of today's show? First, what was with the awkward silence after Rich finished the first showcase? Bob took forever before asking what Sneha wanted to bid. If Bob just wanted to kill time, it would have been better to strike some small conversation, rather than the awkwardness that was there.
Also unusual, the entire audience was chanting "Pass! Pass! Pass!" at Sneha. I have to give credit to Sneha for not listening, though, and just deciding on her own whether or not
she wanted the showcase. Honestly, though, I was surprised she didn't let the audience sway her.
To make the showcase more bizarre, Catherine's bidding. The $45,000 bid was stupid, and we can only guess why she bid so high. But the $1 bid... why the heck did she bid only $1?! That was just insane strategy, there, and also a stupid bid. A stupid $1 bid that worked, but really, there was no way she could've been so sure that Sneha was over on her showcase: I mean, it wasn't an Ashley furniture group, after all! I mean, Broyhills are often decently priced, and a trip to Scotland, that could be just about anything. Yes, the $1 bid actually worked for Catherine, but it was still not a good bid by any stretch.
Speaking of the showcase, was anyone besides me hoping that Sneha didn't go over on her showcase? Oh, how much I was hoping that she didn't go over! I so didn't want Catherine to win after that $1 bid!
Speaking of Catherine, "Wives of Gas Passers"... kind of an icky shirt she was wearing.
Yay for Balance Game's minor set change! It looks like the game is now car-compatible, or compatible with any random 5-digit piano or whatever they might offer, so I guess 5-digit combinations can't be automatically ruled out anymore. I'm curious if comments on this very board had anything to do with the change, or if Roger just realized it might be a good idea to change to a 5-digit display on his own.
I like how Angela played Lucky $even, picking extremes. Just that Roger was surprisingly kind with the 5 in the middle of the price, and for the extreme fourth digit, Angela just picked the wrong extreme to choose from. She just had no luck today.
And Janoel, heels. I know there's absolutely no chance of you acknowledging her, but we all know you have no taste anyway
