Thank you for at least looking. You see it would have been real coll if the impossible happen. $100 perfect bid, 10,900 on punch a bunch, $11,000 on showdown, and then  the person has a double show case winner.

And why would you think that might have happened on that particular episode?

It's not, obviously. It would be impossible anyhow. I just want to find out, theroritically, what would be the highest amount.

Well, it's impossible now with no second chance slips.  It was close to impossible, but never a big deal back in the day TBH.

I don't think that longshot needed to happen back in Season 7 to learn the highest amount possible.

To answer the recap question, with the change occurring around the turn of the year from 1978-1979, it would be the first recap that's available after that.  I don't know if the first playing has a recap but the Price Was Right would be your best bet

Because she's his mother.

Or he just loves his mother and wants to acknowledge her on TV every morning.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

There's no requirement George has to do everything by the book. Fun fact, the show is better when less scripted. Bob's last few years of going through the motions were a stinker. Drew and his background in comedy and improv help enormously on that. George can say hi to his mother if he wants every show.

Along the lines of the question about real dollar bills in Lucky 7, what about the $500 exact bid bonus? Is it real, and does the contestant get to take it home, versus giving them a check after the show airs?

Inspired by seeing Rachel fanning a bunch of "For Motion Picture Use Only" bills.
