[Teddy]

As I said, if your guess does not fall within that $500 range, the game is over. So you think the bar set is $2,800.

Moment of truth here. What's the real price of that bar set?

GEORGE: Contestants not appearing on stage will receive a gift certificate from Subway. Order any sandwich you want with the ingredients you want. Eating fresh never tasted this good. Subway, eat fresh. And a gift certificate from Cold Stone Creamery. Choose from a large selection of ice cream flavors, cakes and pies at one of the sweetest places in the world, Cold Stone Creamery. And now here's Teddy with our Showcase Showdown!

Thanks, George! I'm here with catfan2002, wpghi5 and AMGray1986 ready to spin the Big Wheel. Get a dollar in one spin or a combination of two spins, we will give you $5,000 and a Bonus Spin. In the Bonus Spin, if you get one of the two green sections, you win $25,000, but if you get the dollar in your Bonus Spin, you win $50,000 more for a total of $55,000! (cheers and applause)

SPINNING ORDER:
catfan2002 ($5,840)
wpghi5 ($19,550)
AMGray1986 ($37,911)

Now I will need from each one of you three numbers from 1 to 20 (two for regular spins, one for the Bonus Spin/Spin-Off, should you get it), plus the minimum stopping score. Good luck to all three of you!

[catfan2002]

2 10 and 15 if needed i will stop at 65 or higher

[AMGray1986]

2 and 12 (Regular Spins)
6 (Bonus Spin)
75 or Higher

[wpghi5]

Mines are 19 and 9. I'll use 19 again for my bonus spin if needed. 60 is where I'll stop.

[Teddy]

catfan2002, you will spin first.

(wheel beeps)

Let's see what the first spin of the second Showcase Showdown is going to be worth. Hey, it looks like a good number...

85

85 cents, and you're going to stop right there.

.85

DING!

Now wpghi5, if you get 90 to a dollar, you will take the lead. Spin that Wheel!

(wheel beeps)

Of course, if you get 85, you're still in the game. 85 to a dollar is what you're looking for, and you got...

55

...just 55 cents. Spin it again.

(wheel beeps)

Now you're looking for 30 to 45. 30 to 45 is what you need, and you're going to get...

30

...30 cents, for a total of 85, which ties catfan2002. Now AMGray1986, if you don't beat them, they will have a Spin-Off. Good luck to you.

(wheel beeps)

I hope you get a very good number. I'm having a good feeling about this, I'm having a very good feeling about this...OH!!!

15

(audience groans)

I thought for sure you had the dollar, but you only got 15 cents. Spin it again.

(wheel beeps)

This time, we're looking for 70 to 85 cents. And it looks like you are going to get...

80

...80 cents, and you're going to the Showcase with 95 cents.

.95

(wild cheers and applause)

With that in mind, pay atention to the first Showcase, because it could go to either one of you. Here it is.

(2003 Showcase Cue #1)

GEORGE: This Showcase proves that two really is better than one, and it starts with a pair of iPad Minis. (Rachel models them) (applause)



This Apple iPad minis let you surf the Internet on the go in a smaller, more convenient package, and allow you to customize it with thousands of apps available at the App Store. Next, we're sending you and a friend on an exciting trip to San Juan! (Gwendolyn models it) (cheers and applause)



You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a six-night stay at the Marriott San Juan. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, and close to all major shops, restaurants and museums. Daily continental breakfast included. Finally, since we're talking about the number two, we knew that having just one of them won't do, so we're going to give you two new SUV's! (Amber models them) (cheers and applause)




They're the 2014 Ford Escape SE and 2014 Buick Encore CX. These FWD crossovers come with standard features, plus 6-speed automatic transmission, AM/FM stereo with SiriusXM satellite radio and MP3 jack, cargo net and engine block heater. And there you go: two iPad Minis, a trip to San Juan, plus two new SUV's! Like the old Doublemint commercial says, you will double your pleasure and double your fun, but only if the price is right!

Now AMGray1986, I want to know, are you going to bid on this Showcase or pass it to 03F5Man?

[AMGray1986]

[Teddy]

Very well then, 03F5Man, that is your Showcase. What is your bid on it?

(Showcase 2007)

GEORGE: AMGray1986, your Showcase introduces you to life in the fast lane. And it all starts with this racing simulator! (Amber models it) (applause)



Sit down and drive as fast as you want with this Virtual GT racing simulator that comes with a video monitor, adjustable seat and workable steering wheel and pedals. Next, we're sending you to one of the world's most popular races, the Daytona 500! (Rachel models it) (cheers and applause)



You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Daytona Beach, Florida, for a six-night stay at the Sheraton Daytona Beach. Located on the beachfront, and steps away from the major shops and restaurants. Plus you'll get a pass to SpeedWeek, which includes the qualifying Twin 125s and the 2014 Daytona 500. Finally, your heart will be racing when you get behind the wheel of this new Corvette! (Grandeur) (Gwendolyn models it) (wild cheers and applause)



It's the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, the legendary sports car with contemporary cutting-edge technology and style. Comes with standard features, including 6.2-liter V8 with 6-speed manual transmission, AM/FM stereo with SiriusXM Satellite Radio and MP3 jack, navigation system, OnStar roadside assistance and engine block heater. And there you go: a racing simulator, a trip to the Daytona 500 and a new Corvette. A little warning, though: You may be tempted to go fast, but please obey all speed limits and drive safely. This Showcase can be yours, but only if the price is right!

AMGray1986, what is your bid on that Showcase?

A few notes about this episode:

I was confident that the million dollars was going to be won in Stack the Deck, which is why I wanted to make the GP part as easy as I could. Alas, it didn't work out.

I originally wanted to play Switcheroo in the second half of the show, but at the last second changed it to Pathfinder.

Score another win for Buick! The first time its mini-crossover appears in the Showcase, it's won, along with another small crossover.

As for the TPG:

ShatterMySoul99: Credit Card/Tower of Cash/Switcheroo/Push Over/Split Decision/Do the Math
SilverFirePrime: Walk of Fame/Bump/Stack the Deck/Tower of Cash/Push Over/Spelling Bee

Six players got two games right: AMGray1986, holein1isawesome, 123123123, wpghi5, Bandon23, and SilverFirePrime. But since only four players can start a show, here's what I'm going to do: I will grant First Four passes to any first four of the six aforementioned players who sign up for the next show. The jackpot for the next TPG will be $15,000.

Up next: Episode 16, which will probably be the first show of 2014. The floor is now open for your comments.
