Before the final calldown, the address for the Home Viewer Showcase is revealed; the bid must be included on the postcard (although multiple postcards may be sent by the same person, letters and metered mail will not be accepted), and the same regular Showcase rules apply: whoever comes closest to the ARP without going over will win. The deadline is April 30, exactly one week after today's show, and the winner will be revealed on May 25.
Meanwhile, down in Contestant's Row, will Jay win his way up on stage, or will he go to the dreaded FFBC?
