First up is AMGray1986.
(wheel beeps)
Contestant nearest to a dollar without going over will be in the Showcase at the end of the show. And the first spin of the first Showcase Showdown will come to a stop on...
60...60 cents, and I think you're going to spin again.
(wheel beeps)
Now don't get anything over 40. We're looking for 40 or less, 40 or less...and this could be trouble here...
5...but you got a nickel, for a total of 65 cents.
.65DING!I was afraid it would go to 90 or a dollar, but it's a nickel. SuperSweeper, give it a spin!
(wheel beeps)
65 is not exactly a great score to have when you're the first spinner, but that's what AMGray1986 has right now. And as for you, SuperSweeper, you are going to get...
30...30 cents, which is one space short of tying AMGray1986. Spin it again.
(wheel beeps)
35 to tie, 40 for the lead, and 70 for the dollar. And here comes that 70, which is trying to make its way down here...
45...but you got 45 cents, which is again one space short of what you would've wanted. You're the new leader with 75 cents.
.75DING!And now, CheckGameMeBob, it's up to you to beat 75!
(wheel beeps)
CheckGameMeBob is trying to beat 75 cents right now, and will he do it with one spin? Not here, he won't.
30You have 30 cents, so you will spin it again.
(wheel beeps)
Now this is it. Who's going to the Showcase? Will it be SuperSweeper, or CheckGameMeBob? It looks like it's going to be SuperSweeper...
20...because CheckGameMeBob only got 20, which is too short. Congratulations, SuperSweeper, on making it to the Showcase round! Meanwhile, we'll show you Moment No. 7, which comes from Episode 12. For one contestant, it all went down to the wire on this One Bid. Here's how it went.
