[Wayoshi]

Rarely have I been as mad at a contestant as Louise.

[TinoStar11]

Louise is the 1st contestant since 2002 who had the car price right in Temptation , switched a number , went for the car and lost.

[DebonairDylan]

When was the last time Temptation was won? I know it has to have been won at some point in recent years, but I don't recall seeing it happen recently, correct me if I'm wrong.

[JayC]

We were bookended by wins, but the other four games were a different story. A painful loss in Temptation, and I have to think Pick a Pair and Bargain Game should've been won.

I got worried the money in 1/2 Off would be in box 12 when Drew made the comment about making Rachel go all the way up for box 3 rather than making it easy for her with box 12, but thankfully 3 was right! Very easy SP setups.

[SeaBreeze341]

When was the last time Temptation was won? I know it has to have been won at some point in recent years, but I don't recall seeing it happen recently, correct me if I'm wrong.

Season 49, I believe.  IIRC around the time of its win featured some talk on how long it had been since its previous win at that point

[Grammar-Nazi]

A perfect playing by Marina in Half Off. That young lady had herself a day!
