She reveals the third digit. Obviously, the ARP: $__0

Was it really that obvious that the last number was a 0, and not a 9? I could see complaining about this if it had been a 0 vs. a 3, but come on.

I agree. Even if you somehow reasoned that the price had to end in a zero thanks to the total ARP, the possibility certainly exists that she could not hear George's copy. It's loud in the studio.

There are certain instances where a contestant's choice may seem silly. This was not one of them.

I blew it a little bit out of proportion - I removed "obviously" and bold/italics red text. To be fair, her guess seemed like a reasonable price, and 9 is a common last digit for prices. However, since Season 42, picking the third digit in 241 has kinda become a waste of a pick considering that about 90% of the time since S42, the third digit has been 0.

I love Push Over, even when played for a car.  Usually I am not a fan of a quicky 1 prize game being played for a car.  Something about Push Over, Range Game and even Balance Game lends itself to a bit more drama than if using another 1 prizer such as Double Prices, Squeeze Play, Coming or Going, or Pick A Number...

I wasn't aware most of the smaller prizes in 2 For 1 ended in zero.  Good info to know!  Usually 0, 5 or 9 seem to make the most sense for that last digit.  Seems that was made a very tough set up too, first digit 6 or 8, very close.  It was that middle digit that did her in.

I still wish Punch-A-Bunch would have 2 $25,000 slips and 3 $10,000 slips, but let's not get into that.  I still love this game, and definitely prefer it over Plinko.

Cover Up a very tough set up, having 1 be the correct final digit!  I however hate when the play a car pricing game in the 4th slot. 

Pick A Pair, nice win, but the game itself bores me to tears.

Most Expensive, if "accessories" is one of the prizes, it seems more often than not, it's the one to choose.

Double Overbid for showcases, yuck.  Wow, 10th one this season?!?!?  Mercy!
