[color=009900]*DING*[/color]  *main theme*  $41,000 says Brian.  And we'll be back to see who the winner is.
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

Episode 6 notes

--This was the first episode in which a grocery product game was lost.

--Balance Game gave us our first pricing game for a car won since Golden Road on Episode 3.

--This was the first episode in which two car games were won.  We beat that with three cars being won.

--This was the first episode in which a small-prize game was played in the second half.

--This was the first episode since Episode 2 to see a perfect half.

--The unpicked prizes in the "Do-It-Yourself" showcases were an Eames sofa from highbrowfurniture.com, Cinemark movie passes for a year, a trip to Hawaii, and a Dodge Ram 3500.  Those prizes will go back into the warehouse for use in future episodes.

--Look for Episode 7 some time next month.  It'll be a regular episode.

I was a little low on the motorcycles, (I guessed about 16K for the pair) and I priced Miami as el cheapo because I'm famous for going over on trips in CSS. But for a FRTrip and bikes, I'm very pleased with myself. :-D

Thank you BRB, I had lots of fun despite Golden Road.
