[Teddy]

That last-second 10 Chances win was clearly the highlight of the show!

[SanAnMan]

In 10 Chances, the bid of $895 was at least a "Eh?", and the $598 a definite "WTF?". Money Game was a nice little back-door win; once the last digits got (mistakenly) picked, the first was a gimme at that point. The "going on a trip" rule for CoG was still in place, as was the Bonkers rule, which apparently Craig didn't know about. I would've won that trip in Bonkers in two guesses max.

[JayC]

Good for Gretchen that she managed a decent haul in Punch a Bunch. It was difficult giving up $2,500 with just one punch left.

Money Game was very easy after the 17 and 18 were off and 23 ended up being the back two numbers. I would've picked 94 just to add $94 to the money total before picking the 16 for the win, but of course it's different on stage and Patricia was probably just thinking get the win.

Tricky One Right Price, I believe there's been some below $3,000 ATVs on the show recently and refrigerators can be over $3,000.

Maureen really walked a tight rope in Ten Chances with her two bad guesses on the lamp and her cross-outs and repeat guesses, but the win is what matters!

Bonkers should've been won, the 5 was the only tough number in the set-up. Otherwise everything went with the odds.

[dagdoggnh]

Craig, in a losing effort, played Bonkers the right way by not looking at the crowd at all.

[b_masters8]

That was a remarkably unconventional win in Money Game-- one I don't recall seeing before!

[JayC]

That was a remarkably unconventional win in Money Game-- one I don't recall seeing before!

There will be a playing from time to time where a contestant seems to just pick random numbers and gets the back half first out of dumb luck, I don't recall a setup like this though where the back half was close enough to the front half that the contestant chose it thinking it was the first two numbers.

Shout out to Gretchen who apparently lives in the same town I do right now (going to university)! Incidentally, Adam, the town she's from is Ellensburg, Washington, not Elmsberg, Washington.
