Why did that OVER sign light up?! I think that the biggest problem with the $6.75-$7 range is lots of contestants came up too short of $6.75 after purchasing all five products. I'd like to see a playing where someone failed to reach $20 after five purchases, but so far, I haven't seen any evidence of that.

SCSD 2
TaJuanna: .05+.95=1.00
Lynda: .10+.55=.65
Florence: .50+.40=.90

BONUS SPIN

TaJuanna is going to the Showcase!

Before this SCSD, Florence admits that she wanted to play the Clock Game; then Bob and Rod discuss what happens to cars that aren't won, and Rod says he'd be willing to give Florence the truck "if the price was right". Neither Lynda's second spin nor TaJuanna's Bonus Spin gets the split-screen.
