Fun show, meh lineup. Lots of fun contestants, and lots of good Bob... pretty good week we've been having, really. Good way to end the season! The Cover Up and Card Game car game combination isn't any fun, though.
Well, Hilda was odd, and a lot of fun! Don't ever remember seeing a contestant get ready to race up the stairs to get up on stage before winning an item up for bids! Her wanting to win five cars? Unless she got to play Triple Play on a day with a 2-car showcase, that ain't too likely. Even then, it ain' t too likely.
Stephen may not have played Card Game particularly well, but then, who does? There have been plenty worse, anyway. He was still a lot of fun with a lot of excitment.
Joseph was entertaining as well. Funny that he'd suck at his favorite game, though he actually played pretty well today, even with his strategic bid of $47 on the last prize. Though I guess $44 would've probably been better. Either way, made for an exciting Cliff Hangers: heck, even I didn't know if that last prize might've been $39....
And Nola... well, she gave Hilda a chance to win a car. Had to like Nola for that. She was a good enough contestant earlier, as well.
Gotta' love Bob's comments about the overly-long standing ovation. Then his realization that the audience would give
anything a standing ovation
!
I was disappointed that neither Master Key nor Spelling Bee was played today. Guess that means we're not ending the season with a week of all five small prize car games played after all. Darn.
I wonder what the $19,279 on Joseph's shirt meant.
Push Over for a trip to China... I guess during the commercial break, Bob probably asked Hilda to get back all the Push Over blocks that have fallen down there over the years
.
I feel a little bad for Ana. One of those rare contestant #7s to get beat by a 1-upper three times. Then again, she'd have probably been less interesting than Stephen and Hilda, anyway.
I guess that restaurant in the first showcase isn't going to get a very good review from the critic....
One of these days, I'm worried that Step Up is going to get retired for someone suing the show, claiming that Bob never explicitely stated that they would lose everything if they went on and were wrong. On the other hand, my Mom, who was watching with me today, and has no recollection of having seen the game before, seemed to be perfectly aware that he was going to lose what he already won if he was wrong, so for a viewer who doesn't watch very often to pick up on that, it's pretty common sense I guess, but still, I worry that someone may take advantage of that one of these days. I mean, it happened to Super Saver.

Please stop that. We really don't care what her last name was.

She didn't say she didn't want it. She just said she would give Hilda a chance to win it. Big difference.
