This was a pretty good show, even though no cars were won.
Some nice stuff was given away.
This was a pretty big budget episode. Even if Daniel had won his game, he still wouldn't have made it to the showcase. Has that ever happened where a contestant wins a car, but doesn't get to the showcase in a half-hour show? This doesn't include Doug Davidson.
Most Expensive was played for 3 trips. 3 rather nice and expensive trips, if I might add.
Where the heck did Kathleen come up with a bid of $16,990 for that showcase?! I would have bid $9,000, $7,500, or $10,000 on that showcase, but $16,990? No way! Were satellite dishes and big screen TVs really expensive back then?
