Jeanne's first selection is the cookie bars (Figaroos), $1.39 is the price. DING! Up to $10!

After much deliberation, Jeanne takes the revealed Dove. DING! Up to $100!

WIN (Three-Prize Total: $6,185)
========================================================================================
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Jeanne: .55 + .75 = 1.30 (OVER? Not sure that second spin went all the way around...)
Roberto: .15 + .85 = 1.00 (DIG! $1,000 BONUS!)
Lupe: 1.00 (DIG! $1,000 BONUS! OVERTIME!)
BONUS SPINOFF:
Roberto: .70 (SHOWCASE?)
Lupe: .10
(During the commercial, it's realized that Jeanne's second spin did NOT make it all the way around. The next segment opens with her retaking her second spin, told that she must spin .45 in order to tie the other players. She spins .35 which would leave her at .90 and short of what she needed. So justice has been done, but Roberto keeps his spot in the Showcase round.)

Valerie: $500
