FANTASTIC EPISODE!!!! There were lots of winners, great and smart contestants, great prizes, great games, the big showcase was won, a couple of exactas, two $1,000 wins on the wheel, and a 5-out-of-6-er.
Lucky Seven: Interesting to see the 5-digit version of this game pop up in daytime. It was pretty mean to have a 9 as the (technically) last number, since Coreen only lost 2 bucks, it didn't matter (unless she guessed lower than 5, then it would have been a painful loss).
Danger Price: It was a tossup between the rack and chair and ottoman. I would have lost this one.
Phone Home Game: The one game that stopped us from having a perfect show. I've never really understood the rules of this game very much, though.
One Right Price: I was very surprised when Dennis won. That horse didn't look $1,600.
Bonus Game: Great job, Kenneth!
One Away: And another exacta! This was somewhat easy, since One Away usually doesn't have repeating digits in the car's real price.
Showcases: I knew right off the bat that Elizabeth overbid. Pianos are expensive, but not THAT expensive. I was shocked that Patricia's showcase was only about $31,000+. I half expected it to be $40,000+. Were Cadillac Fleetwoods that cheap? Nevertheless, it was won and Patricia wins over $41,000 for the day, including 2 trips, $1,000, and 2 cars! Congratulations, Patricia!
Easily a 10/10 in my book.
