This episode marked the very last time the PLINKO sign was used in the game's intro and I didn't enjoy Plinko all that much anymore after that. If they wanted to make a drastic change in the game introduction, they could've have the model posing next to a plasma TV and the screen showing flowing cash and flowing Plinko Chips and a $50,000 graphic.
Too Bad the car games weren't won on this show but at least there were a couple of $500 bonuses and two bonus spins on the big wheel.
Ute, one of the temporary models on this show, had a bit of a struggle w/ the TPiR Train in the showcase, when the train was moving to bring in the snowmobile but by the time the camera cut back to the snowmobile as Burton was describing it, Ute pulled the snowmobile in perfectly and that grandfather clock looked like it was gonna fall off the flatcar the way it was rocking back and forth, that's probably another reason Ute was so nervous, I would be too.
Ute's quite a cutie, she kind of reminds me of Brooke Burns of "Dog Eat Dog" and "Baywatch" before that.
Alicia Rickter, the other model from this show, was only there for five episodes, I remember Claudia telling me, I used to write her e-mails and I asked her about Alicia and why her stay on the show was so short and Claudia told me that Alicia couldn't handle the grueling schedule and she also showed sign that she didn't enjoy being there.
The end of the Plinko Sign era, that was a huge disappointment to die-hard fans like myself but it's still a highly popular game and people still love it so,
But I just miss the Plinko sign.
