$2,500

Congratulations, Brandon23. Not only have you won $2,500, which is a good result from this game, but you've also secured yourself a spot in the showcase.

And we'll be looking at both of today's famous showcases after this message.

(Note: Hole #18 had the $25,000. Also, despite all of the amounts being allocated completely at random, holes 48, 49, and 50 all had $5,000. )

(Disclaimer: Allocations for both the Hole in One putts and the Punch-a-Bunch amounts were decided at random before the show began using random.org and were verified by Jordanar18.)

[Coupon Boy]

Our top winner today is SuperSweeper, and our runner-up is Brandon23.

Now, I'm about to show both of you a showcase filled with fabulous prizes. SuperSweeper, you must then decide whether to bid on that showcase or pass it to Brandon23 and wait for the second showcase. The person who is closest to the actual retail price of his showcase wins that showcase. However, if you are the winner and you are within $500 (NOT a typo) of the price of your showcase, you will win BOTH showcases!!

Now, let's see the first showcase:

Today's first showcase allows you to kick back and have fun in the water, starting with this new hot tub.



This hot tub features 28 jet ports and a high performing water cleaning system. Live beautifully, relax completely, from Beachcomber.

Next, we want you to have a week's worth of fun in the water on your Trip to Cancun.



You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to Cancun, Mexico for a 5 night all inclusive stay in a superior deluxe room at the Beach Palace. Featuring contemporary Mexican design, this sheik resort is a short walk from Cancun’s bustling night-life.

And finally, to help you have fun in the open water, how about a new sea-doo!



This Sea Doo GTI 130 personal watercraft features 1,494 CC engine and electric start. Trailer included.

So it's a hot tub, a trip to Cancun and and a new sea-doo, and it can all be yours if the Price is Right!


SuperSweeper, do you want to bid on that showcase to pass it to Brandon23?

[SuperSweeper]

I'll pass to Bandon.

[Coupon Boy]

Brandon, what is your bid for that showcase?

[Bandon23]

Well, I hope Cancun might be a bit expensive. For me to say scooter, hot tub and trip to Cancun. I'll say that $29349 will be my prediction.

[Coupon Boy]

Brandon's bid is $29,349.

Brandon:
$29,349

Now SuperSweeper, take a look at your showcase.

Your showcase takes you to Manuela's family tree, where she one day discovered that she had a long lost twin sister in Germany. So, she decided to connect with her German heritage by making some frankfurters and serving them on this hot dog cart.



This Cambro Camcruiser vending cart features insulated food storage compartments that will keep food hot or cold for hours. Its counter wells and closed storage compartments can each hold up to four full size 6" deep food pans.

Next, Manuela decided to visit her long lost sister, on a trip to Berlin!



You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to Berlin, Germany for a 6 night stay at a 5 star hotel surrounded by famous sites and top attractions. Plus, dive into the history of this city during your guided insider walking tour.

And finally, Manuela plans to show off her German heritage to others by ridding a new Volkswagen Beetle.



It’s the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible R-Line, which features a 2.4 liter turbo charged engine, 6 speed automatic transmission, wind deflectors, storage shelves, and Bluetooth.

And this showcase, in which Manuela introduced the punch buggy game in Germany , can be yours if the price is right!

SuperSweeper, I'm sure the audience can't wait to see you with that punch buggy, especially corneliuscarter.

What is your bid on that showcase?

[SuperSweeper]

I'm pretty sure Bandon's over, but just to play it safe, I'll bid $30,000.

[Coupon Boy]

So SuperSweeper, convinced that Brandon has overbid, bids $30,000 for his showcase.

Supersweeper:
$30,000

Let's see if you're right. SuperSweeper, the actual retail price of your showcase is:

$43,778

for a difference of

Supersweeper:
$13,778

Brandon23, you must be closer than $13,778 to the retail price of your showcase in order to win.
