Another 1/6er, with a bailout in Hot Seat...but great win in Card Game!

[JayC]

Card Game was played very well but otherwise some pretty questionable playings and tough set-ups. Don't think many would've won One Away unless they only had the first number right to start, $7502 just didn't look right in Push Over and $9,175 was the only other good choice, and the egg cooker and brush were the only two obvious SPs in Hot Seat.

I had a feeling the Magic # should've been set at least at $2,500. I would've done $3,000 myself.

$13,060 just seemed too expensive in Double Prices. I was quite surprised that ended up being correct.

The five star hotel likely jacked up the price; but for the most part, any international trip is going break the $10,000 ceiling now.

[JT]

Douglas played Card Game perfectly.   I don't think Erin fully understood Magic #.   

[GR_Man_9009]

Douglas played Card Game perfectly.   I don't think Erin fully understood Magic #.

Technically Douglas did NOT play Card Game perfectly, if he did he would have gotten the car price right on the nose.

You are right GR Man - I should have said Douglas employed strategy perfectly.  I will never understand why people who draw an Ace submit a small amount and then keep on drawing, when the Ace gives you full control over your final bid.

So, I'm guessing there are no Being Erica fans here, since no one mentioned recognizing Erin Karpluk. She was the star of the show for 4 seasons on CBC and a US station back in 2009-2012.

Looks like I'm not allowed to post links, but you can look her up on imdb.
