Host's comments:
For a first show, this was quite the crazy one. And I don't think any of these setups were easy to win.
PtR: Obviously set up for a loss. 9821 got it almost right, but a little switcheroo between the two items would've done it for him.
Flip-Flop: JhayPrice chose the least expensive option, which worked out for him.
Dice Game: 123^3 made a bold move in one of the digits, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
Do The Math: As long as one remembers that Jimmy Choo shoes are pretty pricey, it ain't that hard.
Any Number: This one's also set up for a loss. Neither 0, 5, or 9 appear in the car's price and that last pick was just a luck of the draw that didn't work out.
Range Game: I think we all felt the pain here...
Showcase Showdowns: Did NOT expect to give away $26K in the first one to 9821.
Showcases: And I really wasn't expecting a DSW here either. I only allowed 9821 to rebid because he thought it was a Honda Civic when it really should be a Honda Fit (thanks to George Gray messing up the script a bit). And yeah, you can say my budget's shot right form the start.
So yeah, great first show!
