Not much one can do in terms of a positive outcome in Lucky $even.

What a nice win in Rat.  Won right off the bat in a way.  That was following the green pick (Tonja just didn't know it yet).  Was rather optimistic myself, but that's because green is my favorite color.

Not often is bidding on the first showcase that excludes the car the way to go, but it paid off for Jamerson.  It's more probable than not he wasn't bidding anywhere near that $40,000 ARP of the SUV SC.  Plus South Africa & the Barbados are nice destinations!

[ooboh]

That green rat in Rat Race needs to be tested for performance-enhancing drugs expeditiously. Looking like Jamal Murray out there.

[mechamind]

I wasn't sure if we'd be in trouble in Bonkers when Rhea went lower for the 6. Apparently we were, though I can't fault her for doing that on an American trip.

Even though Coming or Going has its trick for trips and non-trips, I might have understood a "going" guess on that one. $5,017 is pretty close to the bare minimum.

Another day I "beat" the CSS crowd, this one on the backyard/trips with a difference of $3,098...while a $13,042 garf on the SUV Showcase is obviously nothing to brag about.
