Conception, you commited a cardinal sin on overpricing a Ford Mustang showcase.

In my humble, professional opinion, going over on ANY Showcase is a cardinal sin.  Of course, Concepcion got snake-bitten by an evil Mustang, but she had a blast on stage and was a very enjoyable contestant.  It's a good thing she didn't cause Bob any serious bodily harm.  

If by some miracle I make it to a Showcase someday, this is what I'll remember:  Friggin' Random Mustang Showcase = BID CONSERVATIVELY!

Easy as 1-2-3: Just like the title applies..

Plinko: Nice $11,600 win by Concepion.

Pocket Change: Darn: I wanted Andrew to win.

Magic Number: Pathetic.  Another evil playing, but that still doesn't give anyone an excuse to screw up that bad.

Pass the buck: Risking $6000 for an Aveo?  Not surprisingly, I played the infamous Card Sharks '78 bust  Claxon buzzer for hitting lose everything and the Magic Number playing.

Side by side SHOWS UP?!  AMAZING!  That trip could have been anything.

SCSD 2: Michelle spinning on 70 cents?  Melissa wanting to spin on 65, then having the audience to change her mind?  
Then Benjamin made a puny spin?  BOO!  Seems I went for Melissa for her cute looks.

SC: I thought Benjamin made a great bid on the infamous orient cruise SC.  Another DOB to lead us into NCAA week.

Eazy az 123: That difference between $477 and $1189 scared me a little. Does $2337 mean anything??

Plinko: I'm just a little surprised Bob didn't do his "100-500-1000-10000" line on the last chip. Still good play, though.

Pocket ¢hange: I think one of those chances was wasted. I don't know which one. However, the good part was that Andrew did not pick 2 for anything.

One Bid 4: Once again, a personally-thought Stupid 1 bid turned out to be a winner.

magic #: Okay. That # was way too low for anything. Since we're playing for a crib, I was thinking it would be at least $2000, but still would have set the number a little lower than that and still lose.

Pass the Buck: My whole intention was to pick 4 first. I got a little excited when 4 was finally picked, but devastated that it was a Lose Everything.

Side by Side: This soon? Sorry, Double Prices.

Showcase Showdown 2: I overlooked Michelle's spinning after .75. You mean to tell me that someone spun after .75? Now I gotta look up the mathematics of that.

A nice way to start spring break with a Double Overbid. You can decide if I am being sarcastic or not.

Here you go.

Easy as 1-2-3- A nice way to start the day and an easy win

Plinko-$11,600 dollars a nice haul of cash.

Pocket change- Tough set up

Pass The buck- what  the world was up with Melissa? I would have stop and ran with $6,000 dollars talk about a bone head move

Side by Side both of the prices look right.

Bejamin, simply put, made my head hurt.

"17-hundred-thousand dollars", literally speaking, is $1,700,000, no?  I may not be a math genius, but come on...

It's too bad Concepion OB; she was, easily, one of my favorite contestants in recent memory.

Julie had a very simple playing of Eazy as 1-2-3. I don't see how anyone could have lost that.

Concepcion, by far the best contestant we've seen in a while won a lot on Plinko, then another $1000 on the big wheel. It would have been great to see her win another $10,000 though. If she did, could she have the highest total CASH winnings for one show? She would have had $22,600.

Andrew's playing of Pocket Change was tricky. I was hoping he'd have enough change to win.

Even though Michelle's Magic # of $950 was clearly not enough, the average contestant wouldn't have expected the crib to be that expensive.

I was hoping Melissa's risking of $6000 would pay off by being the car or the $1000, but she didn't get it. I would have quit with the $6000.

I said $6276 for the trip to St. Lucia. I didn't think it would be that expensive.

Concepcion deserved to win the showcase today, but instead we get a double overbid. Wow, I guess that 16-day cruise of the orient isn't so expensive after all. I figured that would be $15,000 alone.

Best Contestant- Concepcion

Showcase #1- $21,500
Difference- OVER

Showcase #2- $22,000
Difference- $934
