Darn.  My snap-judgement bid was 1201, and once again, my second-guessing cost me.  That's at least 4 times here alone.

Thank you, Rich.  Brian, Madonna, and Jay are all here with two things in mind: Get to the showcase, and win $11,000 on this wheel.  Sternal, you're up first.

Poor sternal is the only person who didn't win anything from his pricing game, and he will start out with....

65 cents.  Spin or stay?

[Joe_Mello]

Yo, sternal.  This time it's for real.

YOU GOT A DOLLAR!










You'll be having a bonus spin in a moment, but Madonna, you know what you have to do.

That's the third dollar winner in 3 Showdowns.  Yikes!  Well, you'll need another spin here.

Only 60 cents can help you......and it won't be happening.  Well, you've been on consecutive shows and accumulated $2,907 in those two games, so thanks for playing, Madonna.

Jay, it's your turn......Jay's no stranger to hitting a dollar.  He was in a Bonus Spinoff in our last episode.....he wants to be in one again, but he'll start with...



95

95 cents, which is great any other day, but not today......If he gets a nickel, it would be the utmost convenience, but he won't.  Jay, you've won $27,369 in 4 appearances.  Thanks for playing.

Brian, you're in the Showcase, but you'll also be getting a Bonus Spin.  Now, as you may or may not know, on this show, we use three methods of chance to determine your bonus spin: 2 dice rolls, and you picking a number from 1-20.  So, give us a number and we'll see if you can add to your loot.

[sternal]

#15 Please

[Joe_Mello]

And here goes Brian's bonus spin.  Will he get $5,000?  Will he get $10,000?  Watch the spinning wheel......which may have to hurry.....hurry!

Awww, you needed a little more, but you do have $1,000 extra and you'll be in the Showcase, which we should just get to right now.

NOTE: The Showcase music won't be using clap tracks, because they're too cool.  Please listen to them.

The Showcases are here at last!  Our top winner is Joe Kristoff!  Our runner-up is Brian Sternal!  And the first Showcase is here!



Third Movment of the Four Seasons

This Showcase is filled with prizes for each of the four seasons.  We start with winter, and instead of holiday lights, you can proudly display a party attitude with these Cocktail lights *applause*

A collection of Roman frosted Cocktail lights.  14 lights ranging from 8-13" and representing various party beverages.  Each light is made of glass and has on/off switch and one 25 watt bulb. Great for party decor or just to put a little fun into a room.

Winter will then melt away into spring, which means you can freely roam around........in your new scooter. *applause*

From Yamaha, the Vino Classic's styling gets the ultimate, retro cosmopolitan twist with three color schemes, all with a fully-chromed front-end including 49cc, air-cooled, 2-stroke engine, a large seat, comfortable floorboard, Chromed rear luggage rack, Large, convenient underseat storage, Headlight, Turn signal housings, Speedometer, and Mirrors.

From spring, we go to Summer, which means it's the perfect time to get hot and steamy in a new sauana. *applause*

The TheraSauna 4-person BetterLife 4 sauna utilizes ceramic TheraMitters to provide a constant temperature and level of effective infrared therapy to the body. The soft-touch digital controls incorporate 2, solid-state controls with timers on the inside and outside of the sauna. Each control is heat, humidity, and water-resistant. TheraSauna needs no additional wiring and plugs into any 120-volt outlet with a 20-amp plug.

Finally, we head into Fall.  School starts, and so does school activities, so that means it would help get kids to practice if you took them there............IN YOUR BRAND NEW VAN!!! *Cheers*

The Ford Freestar SE!  Comes with a 3.9L V6 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission, plus appearance package, premium package, tri-zone manual A/C, floor console, and entertainment system.

And this Showcase which is good in any season can be yours if The Price is Right

Joe, is this your Showcase or are you going to pass it to Brian?

[Gatorman]

Hmmm...I will BID, and I will say $32,900.

[Joe_Mello]

*ding*

$32,900 is your bid; Brian, this is your Showcase.






Pyramid Theme (2002)

This Showcase features our model Julia tries to play the new hit game show, "Who Wants to Be a Winner?"  This final question is throwing her for a bit of a loop, so she has to think back to when she studied to be on the show, in her own private library! *applause*

From the Levenger catalog, a Stratford Library case in a dark cherry finish, Stratford Rug full-grain leather chair and ottoman in black, and a Stratford 10' x  14' area rug spun from Gazni wool in a neutral pattern of golden yellow.

However, this question didn't come up in her studies, so she's out of luck.  However, she does remember that she can call someone for help, namely her friend and fellow model Stacey who's probably watching the show on her new laptop. *applause*

This Toshiba laptop with Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology comes with a 160GB HD, 1GB of memory, read/write DVD/CD drive and integrated TV tuner card so you can catch your favorite programs anywhere.

It turns out that Stacey does have the answer, which means that she's able to win the grand prize....




















A NEW CONVERTIBLE!!!  *Crowd explosion*

It's the Pontiac Solstice convertible--less expensive that other convertibles, but still able to provide 100% of the Pontiac excitement you crave.  Features a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and 5-speed manual transission, plus convenience package, premium package, A/C, ABS, front floor mats, and chrome wheels.

And this Showcase, in which we hope you'll be just as successful as Julia, can be yours if The Price is Right

Well, Brian, you have a convertible up for grabs.  What's your bid?
