Total: $7000 (Erroneously displayed as $6100.)

James wins $7,000 in cash! He walks away before the display is corrected, and Bob was slow to catch him.

"James left! I was simply trying to get him $900 more, and the guy walked out on me!"



1st Showcase Showdown:
|CONTESTANT|SPIN 1|SPIN 2|TOTAL|RESULT|
|Gloria|.90|––|.90|SHOWCASE|
|Roger|.60|.25|.85||
|James|.40|.10|.50||

Rod plugs the Homeviewer's Showcase Showdown before the break.



Bob is not mistaken. Everyone has been coming from a single spot so far. He reminds us that only one time have we had 3 contestants who stayed in Contestant's Row through the whole show. He believes that this trio can repeat that.

4th IUFB - A new color TV with VCR: Samsung ultimate combination unit 19-inch color monitor television and VCR in a convenient package with all the latest features (Dian)

On the TV, we see Janice with a lovely dog! He came from the L.A. Department of Animal Regulation, and he's up for adoption at the North Central Animal Shelter!

|Jody|Carolyn|Michele|MELISSA|
|$800|$550|$675|$750|

*CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG*

We did have a perfect bid at this point on our other show that Bob was thinking about. Does Melissa take the $100 bonus?

Actual Retail Price: $750!

Melissa is playing Squeeze Play for a stately wall unit: Leda Furniture 3-piece white wash entertainment wall unit imported from Canada, featuring 2 curio end units with a video armoire (Kathleen and Holly)

| 4 3 4 8 8 |
| – – – – – |

(The first 8 in the price does not match the second one.)

Melissa pulls out the 4. Squeeze them together and reveal the price!

| $ 4 3 8 8 |
| $ 4 3 8 8 |

Melissa wins the wall unit!



And so it continues, meaning we now guarantee at least one entry to the First Four Breakfast Club.

5th IUFB - Handy power tools: Assortment of Black & Decker power tools including drill, polisher, bench grinder, angle grinder, and work table (Holly)

|Jody|Carolyn|Michele|BRIAN|
|$650|$900|$901|$875|

Actual Retail Price: $1,083!

Michele breaks the streak, and she is playing One Away for a new van: Ford Aerostar XL Plus wagon, equipped with standard features, preferred equipment package 401A, and California emission (unmodelled...until all four enter the van at once).

The price of $27488 below is not correct.

$ 2 7 4 8 8

Michele changes the price to $16579.

$ 1 6 5 7 9

Does Michele have at least 1 number right?

HONK!

Does Michele have 2 numbers right?

HONK!

Does Michele have 3 numbers right?

HONK!

Does Michele have 4 numbers right?

HONK!

Does Michele have all 5 numbers right?

...

Silence. Michele changes the price to $18579. Reveal the price!

$ 1 8 5 7 9
$ 1 6 3 7 9

No car for Michele. Her luck could improve in the Showcase Showdown after the next game.



6th IUFB - Stylish luggage: Boyt Century Collection luggage featuring airbus carry-on, 2 deluxe full-framed wheel suitcase pieces, and innovative walk-in closet garment bag (Holly and Dian on the Train)

|Jody|Carolyn|BRENDA|Brian|
|$700|$1|$675|$800|

Actual Retail Price: $1,205!

Well, 5 out of 6. Jody and Carolyn both take the trip to the First Four Breakfast Club.

Brian will play Grocery Game for a trip to Hong Kong: Fly with a guest round-trip coach from L.A. to Hong Kong for a 6-night stay at The Regent hotel, a sanctuary of elegance and comfort, a setting as spectacular as the view, and the ultimate luxury; a prize worth $6,092 (Kathleen).

Janice is at the cash register.

The grocery products are:
1. Bausch & Lomb Allergy Drops
2. Hershey's Strawberry Drink Box (3 pack)
3. Klondike Lite Bars
4. New Ultra Snuggle Concentrated Softening
5. Citrι Shine revitalizing shampoo with citrus extracts

|EYE DROPS|DRINK BOX|ICE CREAM|SOFTENER|SHAMPOO|
|––––|––––|––––|––––|––––|

Brian starts with 3 allergy drops... $3.67 x 3 = $11.01

Brian takes 3 Klondikes... $2.99 x 3 = $8.97 for $19.98 (Uh-oh...)

Brian takes 1 Hershey's... $1.09 x 1 = $1.09 for $21.07.

OVER

Bad luck. (The losing horn and normal buzzer sound before Janice finishes with the register.)

Brian still has a Showcase Showdown after this.



Contestants not appearing onstage will receive a Cutco Galley kitchen knife set, St. Ives Swiss Formula Peaches & Cream beauty wash, and Armani by Miller Import table lamp.

2nd Showcase Showdown:
|CONTESTANT|SPIN 1|SPIN 2|TOTAL|RESULT|
