YES! Madonna owns that car, and she wins the two other prizes! You played that BEAUTIFULLY! Congratulations!

We have our first winner of the day, and we'll try for two winners in a row after this commercial message!

Who will it be now, Richard?

RICHARD: It'll be Jordan7! COME ON DOWN! You're the next contestant on "Gatorman's Price Is Right"!

Well, hello again, Jordan! Glad to see you back here! Now pay attention to the next item up for bids!

It's a lovely screen! (*Carole peering behind the screen*)(*applause*)

This 72" Ching Ming Festival floor screen gives a slight Chinese look to your bedroom. You'll feel like you're in Peking the next time you change your clothes.


Jordan7, what is your bid?

Sorry, Jordan--$900.  :evil:
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

Actual retail price of that screen IS $1199! Fireball does it! Step right up here, Fireball, and join me by the doors as they open to reveal...



SAFE CRACKERS! (*cheers and applause*) And here comes Topaz in a wetsuit, about to open the safe and offer you two prizes. What are they, Richard?

RICHARD: First...a wonderful trip to Acapulco! (*Mira, also in a wetsuit, shows off the trip.*)

We'll fly you and a guest round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Acapulco for six nights at the Las Brisas Acapulco. Nestled on a hillside overlooking the beautiful Acapulco Bay, this unique resort is famous for its casitas with private or semi-private pools and the incredible view from all 263 rooms.

Annnnnd...a pair of surfboards!

A pair of Isle Short Red Stripper surfboards! The shortboard is considered the most high performance of all the surfboard shapes.  Its narrow and thin design give the experienced surfer the responsiveness needed for quick, snappy turns and the ability to surf the wave as they please.

All worth $4470!


Lock that safe, Topaz! (*she does so, then walks out of camera range*) Now, Fireball, to win both prizes, you must unlock that safe, and I will tell you that the combination to the safe is the SAME as the price of the surfboards. Now, the three numbers you are going to use are...



Zero,



six,



and nine. Use each digit once and ONLY once. Off you go!

Say $960! Airfare to Acapulco is around $3500.

Damn... I can't set the combination to $9,000.  :-P

Guess I'll have to go with $960 instead. *turns the dials to 9, then 6, then 0*

*gets ready to turn the safe wheel whatever direction(s) necessary to (hopefully) open it*
