Lineup:

1. Pushover: W

2. Danger Price: W

3. Pathfinder: L

4. Coming or Going: W (thanks htmlcc92)

5. It's in the Bag: Bailout

6. Money Game: L

EDIT: Speaking of Danger Price, It was finally won for the first time since October 15, 2010. The 12 game losing streak is over.

[htmlcc92]

The 4th game was Coming or Going.

Unless I missed a few episodes since the season started, is it just me, or was today the first time in a while that Danger Price was won? It seems whenever I've seen it before, the contestant manages to pick the price that they're supposed to avoid.

[Ton80]

4. Coming or Going: W (thanks htmlcc92)

Pretty sure Coming or Going was lost today.

[stardf29]

It helps that Danger Price was set up for a win today, with the DP being $3,298 and the prizes being a sofa, a kayak, an HDTV (not a particularly fancy one, either), and a washer and dryer.

Money Game had an... interesting setup today. All the choices for the back half ended in -0, -5, or -9.

[sayingsorry]

What the Heck was up with te contestants today?! The one who was stretching every time she bid was a bit weird and they just seemed like they were all on something

[Guint]

This was Danger Price's first win in over a year. And I'm glad it finally got won.

Ah, yet another person falls victim to cheap motorcycles.

[Wayoshi]

Another 2/2 turns into 2/6... and it was mostly Mike's fault as well on the losses. Can't say I'm not disappointed regardless

[heelsrule1988]

Frankly, there were not enough prizes in the second Showcase.

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: Shayne
SHOW GRADE: 1

[elskunkoman]

Well coming or going was lost and CoG shoulda been won today. We coulda had a 3/6. Let's see how tomorrow's show is.

[Kev347]

Well, it was really really nice to see Danger Price get won for the first time since October 15, 2010! And that's about it - Pathfinder and It's In The Bag are good games, but they can be such drags sometimes.

Timings:
Push Over (4) - 2:55
Danger Price (4.5) - 4:10
Pathfinder (6) - 5:57
Coming Or Going (3.5) - 3:19
It's In The Bag (6.5) - 5:05
Money Game (4.5) - 4:23
Total (29): 25:49

Holy crap!  Somebody actually won Danger Price!

Did Mike accidentally switch the ARPs of the showcases?  I'm trying to figure out what made SC1 so expensive.

My showcase bids:
Snowmobiles--$22,107
Motorcycle--$27,107

[superballfan]

what happened in the showcase? After the commercial, the credits rolled. How much were they?

[pjheath]

It was lost today! Wow! $9,000+ trip to Peru?!?

Pretty sure Coming or Going was lost today.

[GSB92]

what happened in the showcase? After the commercial, the credits rolled. How much were they?

I do know that SC1 was $26k and SC2 was $23,097.
