I think the budget is fine now after the 3X win, with two ugly shows in a row winnings-wise. I was shocked Clock was lost with 25 seconds left for the second prize, and they REALLY tried to get Half Off won, as much as you can make that game so. It was also a really odd start to see Clock then a cash game.

For the cheapo Versa we've seen so much in fee games, that C-O setup was way too dickish. In general they have gone to the GP non-car too much this month, and continue to go to the 4-prizer 5th well too often as well.

The power tools appear to be the same ones as those in IUFB 6 on 11/17/2020.

And I was thinking Terie's mom would have appeared a long time ago. Nope. Her mom's Charlene, from 11/18/2019.

[JayC]

Tough breaks for Matthew and Adrienne to start the show.

I really thought Terie had it in Take Two with the computer and firepit table on her second pick, I was surprised just how expensive the firepit table was.

A lower than expected total in Check Out, but Sade didn't help herself much overestimating most of the items. The guesses on the candy and the Tylenol were especially rough.

[Roadgeek Adam]

The Skittles guess was egregious.....the Tylenol not so much

[SteveGavazzi]

Evan started going to the blue podium during the opening before he noticed something off-camera and went to the red one.  It's seemed pretty obvious all season that they've been directing the first four contestants to certain spots, but this is the first time I've seen actual evidence of it.

I really thought Terie had it in Take Two with the computer and firepit table on her second pick, I was surprised just how expensive the firepit table was.

Honestly, I thought it was a terrible guess.  They don't usually use two prizes with the same thousands digit in one game anymore, so the fire table and the shoes seemed like the only reasonable combo.

[Double_R]

Tough break for Adrianne. 

Another ironic case where the showcase contestants had bids that would have better benefitted their opponents.
