*sneaks in back row*

Wow, it's been a while.  I'll play.  No guess, though.

[wpghi5]

I'll definitely join!  My guess is:

Superball
Pathfinder
Push Over
1 Right Price
Card Game
Check-Out

[stardf29]

It's been a while since I've signed up to join a HYO, but here goes.

[RCPlanes59]

Hey, more Teddy! These shows are always fun, I'm in.

TPG:
1. Spelling Bee
2. Bonus Game
3. Double Cross
4. Master Price
5. Cliff Hangers
6. Hi-Lo

[Teddy]

I just spotted a mistake while making my list: Double Digits should go in the retired section, as it hasn't been played since 1973, and, in a way, became the inspiration for Temptation. Anyway, looking forward to starting the show tomorrow.

[Teddy]

And you can add these games to the BigJon section:

Movin' on Up
Radical
UpSideDown

I don't know if he's added any more games, aside from Double Cross (because of that detested C&D order Fremantle gave him a few years back), but we'll see about that. I got these games from the thread below:

This is the Chevy Equinox!

That's a Chevy Equinox, and the game you're going to play is called Temptation. First off, let me show you the first number in the price of that SUV. It is...

$2$$$$
$2

DING!

...2. Now, in addition to that SUV, we have some other prizes that you can win. Think of these as gifts that could help you win it. Now, Amber is going to bring us the first gift, and George will tell us about it.



GEORGE: Make beautiful music with this flute, finished in fine rust-free nickel that makes it as pleasant to look at as it is to play. Carrying case included.

Now what is the price of that flute?

$499

It's $499. Would you like a 4 or 9 as the second number?

[GuyWithFace]

And later on, we'll see if you're right. (Temptation Cue #2) But right now, Manuela is bringing out another prize on stage. What is it, George?



GEORGE: Watch your favorite shows, movies and sporting events with this crystal-clear HDTV set, which can either be used as a standalone unit or hung on the wall.

And the price of that HDTV set is?
