Nothing special about this one. A painful Lucky Seven loss, a measly showcase was won, and the contestants weren't all that great. However, the some of prizes were nice, the game selection was good, and the showcases were nice.
Lucky Seven: OHHHH! I thought that Monika would have won! Sure, she chose a 2 for her last number, but nonetheless... What makes it worse is that even if she had stuck with all 5's for the last 3 numbers, she still would have lost.
Secret X: Whoa! What an expensive trip! Also, the blonde woman that the camera panned to a few times was Betty, the contestant who won $45,000+ on this episode:
http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,18051.0.html. I wonder if she was a friend or a relative of Teresa. She didn't seem like a random audience member.
Squeeze Play: That 0 was begging to be taken out. Plus, that vehicle was a little too cheap to be offered on a nighttime show.
Showcases: Now THAT was a huge spa in showcase #2. Teresa should have bid at least $20,000 on that one.
