...and that's why you end your showcase bid with 251 instead of 000 (or anything from 000 to 250, for that matter).

Recap posted.

Today's primetime special was moved to Monday (thankfully) for a Norman Lear tribute tonight.

...and that's why you end your showcase bid with 251 instead of 000 (or anything from 000 to 250, for that matter).

Exactly. If only she knew the rule of showcases not being between $XX,000 and $XX,250 to prevent average bidders from winning both showcases, then she may have won both showcases, but of course she could also have gone over by a small amount by adding more than $269 to her bid.

[Grammar-Nazi]

That was a great win in One Away with two numbers wrong; likewise, it was a painful bailout on Hot Seat.
