Highlight of the show: Everyone in the chatroom cheering for Stack when it came on.

Highlight from the contestants: Dang with 2 sub 500 differences in the Showcase.

Didn't we just see those socks yesterday? I thought we had some advertisement on that this week.

[Teddy]

Stack the Deck lives! While not my favorite car/GP game (my favorite being Hole in One, as I'm secretly a PGA Tour fan), I'm glad to see it back.

Make Your Move was a crapshoot, with $33 being the only obvious price. I thought that One Away was won, but that tricky fourth number got Trinh in the end. Man, that home theater in Coming or Going was a little less expensive than everyone thought, and Stack the Deck was within one number of being won, with 4 selected as the second number, only to become a 0.

A $13 win in the Showcase to top it off? Man, that was very close indeed.

[ooboh]

That is one of the closest showcase differences I’ve seen in my lifetime.

[Schfifty]

I was expecting Jadie would get a DSW after that awesome difference reveal in David's bid, but even though no DSW today, a $13 difference between the two is just as amazing. That's gotta be one of the closest differences ever.

[blozier2006]

That's gotta be one of the closest differences ever.

One of, yes. Not the closest by a longshot, though, since AFAIK there's been at least three separate occasions where there was a $1 difference between the two players.

[TinoStar11]

That is one of the closest showcase differences I’ve seen in my lifetime.

There was a Showcase this year ( 3/30/17 ) where the Contestant won by 1 dollar. You might have missed it last season.

[tpir7215]

One of, yes. Not the closest by a longshot, though, since AFAIK there's been at least three separate occasions where there was a $1 difference between the two players.

That actually happened just last season:

[tpir7215]

When was the last time we had BOTH contestants come within less than $1,000 (or $500)?

I kinda wonder if there's actually gonna be a tie at this rate, what with the win by $1 back in March and now this, a $13 dollar difference between two sub-$500 differences

[Roland]

With Stack The Deck being played today, the only game yet to be played this season is Golden Road! Do you think that game will show up on tomorrow's Veteran's Day episode?

I really hope so

[JayC]

Trinh was a great contestant, genially excited and having a lot of fun. She was a bit over the top but I didn't think she was being purposely showoffy or anything like that. I was really hoping she won.

Make Your Move was a crapshoot, with $33 being the only obvious price.

After placing the $33 for the hair dryer the only two choices for the bikes were $585 or $718, and since it was two bikes the price wouldn't end in an odd number so it had to be $718.

Stack the Deck finally shows up. The GPs were pretty easy imo. The drinks/pain patch was the only combo that was a little tricky. She did well though despite just the 1 free number.

I thought it was pretty obvious that the right choice would be minus in Do the Math since plus would mean a very expensive washer and dryer, I wonder why it felt like Drew didn't think he was correct.

What a great ending to the Showcases! Two excellent bids and I thought we had a DSW after the first difference was revealed. I had a feeling Jadie won after Drew stepped back before reading the price.

With Stack The Deck being played today, the only game yet to be played this season is Golden Road! Do you think that game will show up on tomorrow's Veteran's Day episode?

I hope so, but they tend to not play Big 3 games on specials.

Well, sorry to say but it most likely won't. Look at the 2017-18 FPG spoilers thread and you'll see why.

[EvilChameleon]

The reaction from Trinh was great. Especially when she ran behind the giant price tag and you saw Rachel already standing there.

[Casey]

After placing the $33 for the hair dryer the only two choices for the bikes were $585 or $718, and since it was two bikes the price wouldn't end in an odd number so it had to be $718.

Years ago this came up as a topic - 2 of a thing can still result in an odd number, when rounded to the nearest dollar.  If each bike was $305.33, 2 of them would be $610.66, which rounded to the nearest dollar, would be $611.
