SHEEELLLL GAAMEE! Oh, and Gas Money too. Welcome back.

Also, two way dollar spinoff is very fun. Too bad in the Showcase they don't say the cents won in Any Number.

Nice to see Shell make its triumphant return.

Pretty Average show.
Good Game Line-Up Today.

I don't like that the bonus is announced after the third SP is won. I feel they should wait until after all 4. It's just awkward timing. It puts a lot of pressure on the contestant to get that last SP right. It would feel more natural after 4th.

That being said, I loved the way Drew hosted after the game was won but the bonus was lost yesterday. That is the exact way you need to do it to make that awkward situation NOT be a downer. Drew has come a long way in certain areas such as that one.

Roger, isn't this the first time we've had a bonus attempt since the new bonus came into play?

Fourth time. The other three were 11/14/13, which was the first instance after 32 previously failed attempts and part of 10 SP correct streak. Next, 1/10/14, where the bonus cash won in addition to a $4,934 Fairbanks trip, and also part of the same 10 SP right streak, as 11/14 and 1/10 were consecutive playings by airdate. Last but not least, we have/had 6/1/15, which was the second straight playing, of four, where the main prize was five digits. In this case, it was a trip, but 1/3 were cars, the 4th was Big Money Week's $50,000.

Huh. Apparently I've blanked out the last few years of my life.

Fun fact: Showcase 1 was the cheapest showcase to be offered on the show since a $19,461 showcase on February 25, 2014. I don't blame Marsharay for bidding so low either, it looked a lot cheaper than it actually was.
