DOB: "I never liked putting the money in 13, it's considered an unlucky number and that would be a bit too mean."

Mike: "People likely won't go 13 since it's unlucky, let's put the money in there every other playing."

I thought Take Two was pretty easy after she chose the elliptical trainer and sound system to start. I figured the accessories would be around $3,000 so picking them and the sound system was the right way to go. The computer was going to be too cheap to go with any of the prizes to make the right amount.

I don't think it's a problem to put the money in box 13 in 1/2 off. Not everyone considers it unlucky, it's just a number. I would think contestants would be less likely to think it's in box 1 or 16 since they're the two end boxes. It's not a definite no-no like having the very first choice in Push Over be correct.

We really don't need a daily reminder.

I guess we all know what number to choose if we find ourselves playing 1/2 Off now....

Except based on the pattern left after the first cut of boxes, they kinda wanted her to pick it.

Great lineup. Apparently, this is "Play 4Ps 5th" week. I like it though because, for me, I'm definitely not expecting it.

I disagree. The eye is drawn to the big cluster of boxes, not the solitary box off in the corner.

Fact check.  Box #13 held the cash:
2/18 playings this season
5/160 the past 9 seasons (since Mike's been EP) - half the average box cash placement.

More like "let's put the money there every other season."
