After all those Cars giving out in Pricing Games last week during Dream Car Week, I obviously excepted a letdown.
Not a Single Car was won during a Pricing Game this week ( I'm assuming this is happened before in Show History ) 
We're on a 12 Car-Game Losing Streak ( Last Car won during a Pricing Game: Punch-a-Bunch last Friday )

Dana put on a clinic as to how to play Grocery Game.
BTW: What was the theme of the Grocery items?

PaN...
10 Chances: RIP in using 3 chances in the laptop for breaking the 0 rule.

Secret X: Two prize packages for both the GP and SP. No.

L7: Yeah, we are on budget mode. 5 would have lost you at least two bucks a pick.

SC's: Oh, let's just have a trip and car in 1!

BTW: What was the theme of the Grocery items?

That's what I was wondering at well. I was thinking something relating to burning/toasting, but the cleaner wouldn't make any sense. Drew didn't even mention anything either.

Either way, good to finally get lots of wins to close a week that was short on them. I was particularly puzzled to see the audience booing Bruce's guess in 1 Right Price - the ending made it obvious that it was the TV.

10 Chances was pretty difficult with that really cheap laptop - can't blame her for spending so many guesses, honestly.

10 Chances! One of my favorite games. I can tell Drew really wants to share "the zero rule" with contestants these days. I'd prefer that he lean toward more of a neutral position. Contestants should watch the show and learn.

This has me thinking now: What if the contestant explicitly stated "the zero rule" during gameplay? I figure the producers would edit it out before airing if that actually happened.

I agree, except for those not following "the zero rule".

So yeah, I saw 10 Chances, Secret "X", and 1 Right Price backstage after the taping I attended. Makes sense that I didn't see the other three since they were close to taping and PaN and Grocery were probably closer to the stage and Lucky $even is a bunch of panels. I also saw three of the cars to be used, but didn't remember exactly what they were.

Can we talk about how Drew stopped just short of mentioning the zero rule today in 10 Chances. He made it very clear to reference that there was a "way to play the game." A shame the contestant didn't try the other $600 option. A lot of choices for that 2nd prize, but she was close and got off track.

I'm usually good at spotting the theme of Grocery Game before George describes the items, but for some reason, I'm having the hardest time spotting this one. Anyone see it?

Just an excellently played Grocery Game. Dana played it exactly the right way.

10 Chances on the other hand was not. It started with such promise, but then Lori forgot the 0 rule. It felt like she got flustered after not getting the laptop on the first three turns. I didn't think it would be that inexpensive though.

And we're back to tougher setups in Lucky $even after two very easy ones.

My gosh... They are playing Settlers of Catan with us! 

I really don't like posting without something new... so... uh... does someone have how much the Ford Fiesta was in 10 Chances? I have a hunch it ended it 0.

Good Job with figuring it out. I was stumped with this one and i'm usually good with figuring it out.

[D]oes someone have how much the Ford Fiesta was in 10 Chances? I have a hunch it ended it 0.

Yeah, although obviously unofficial, I have it at $17,890, which is hard by 10C standards. Here's how:

We have this car here, from May 2nd, in 5 Price Tags. using my carpendium: Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback 5/2/2017 $16,505 1.6L, 5-spd MT, FWD, 16" eight-spoke black machined aluminum wheels, equipment group 200A.

So, from there, we can figure out what the differences were in options from that car to this car, which were only 6-spd AT and the cold weather package. According to Ford's page for the 2017 Fiesta SE, AT replacing MT adds $1,095, while the cold weather package is $290. Add the $1,385 to that $16,505 and there you my $17,890.
