And there you have it: 25 shows in the books, and what an amazing finish it was!
Coincidentally, the last time we had a 1/6 show was back in Episode 5, and that show also had Five Price Tags and It's in the Bag in its lineup. Of course, it had that infamous Bag gaffe in which poor writing led to a wipeout, but then was changed to a technical win; Tags was the only game fully won.
That million-dollar win in the Showcases more than made up for the fact that the Bentley was never played for in Golden Road. And PayingTheRent is the second millionaire in the history of the series, after
gr8daynegb in Episode 4, who won $1,239,438 on that show. Like PayingTheRent, gr8daynegb also won an Escalade and a million dollars, although it came in the Million-Dollar Game, Master Key.
I will take a break from hosting, because I know there are lots of other people waiting in line to host their first shows under Roadgeek Adam. Let's make the HYO section as successful as ever!
And one more thing:

Up next: Episode 26. The floor is now open for your comments.
