I'll take 7 and 13, and will stop on 70.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

cu spins first.

Nothing exciting about this first spin, but maybe it could hit 60 cents...



You've got it.  Not a bad score - would you like to try to add to it?

cu2010: "I'll spin again."

Taking a risk with a second spin on top of 60 cents.  Get off 90!



Phew!  You're still alive, with a total of 65 cents.

Stormy, you're up next.  I also still need numbers from MasterKeyFan.

Here's Stormy's first spin.  Slowing down... here's 80, stop!



That gives you the lead, Stormy.  Is 80 cents enough with MKF behind you?

Stormy: "I'll stay!"

MasterKeyFan, your turn.  You need to tie or beat 80 cents in two spins.  What numbers would you like?

MKF needs at least 80 cents in two spins.  Here comes this first spin... looks like you'll definately need to spin again.



65.  Anything between 15 and 35 is safe for you.  Here's that second spin.  Go, wheel, go - get off that dollar!



One more space and you would have had a tie.  Sorry, MKF - hope you enjoyed the show.

Stormy, you're the winner of the second Showcase Showdown and will be the top winner in the showcases, which are coming up... after this.

(Due to a personal matter, showcases will begin tomorrow evening.  In the meantime, proof that any random elements to this show were indeed random can be supplied upon request.)

Our top winner in the showcase today is Stormy41992!

And the runner up - JokerFan!

Both of you will have a showcase of fantastic and potentially unexpected prizes to bid on.  After the first showcase, Stormy, you have the option on whether to bid or pass it to JokerFan.

What's the first showcase today, Rich?

Rich: "This first showcase contains prizes as we reveal what Steve Urkel's life in the sitcom Family Matters would have been like with just a few minor changes!"

"For instance, he might not have been the joke of school if, instead of those incredibly large and thick eyeglasses, he'd been just a little more normal and worn... this pair of eyeglasses!"

"From Chanel, this black pair of eyeglasses gives its wearer a distinction and decor demanding respect!"

"Next, Steve Urkel might have been a bit more enlightened if, instead of always listening to polka music, he put a little more variety into his life - with this new jukebox!"

"This replica Wurlitzer 1015 jukebox includes a compact disc-changer, full function remote control, 42-disc storage, speakers and transformers!"

"Finally, Steve Urkel looked ridiculous in that small vehicle he drove around.  If only he had upgraded just one small size and gotten himself... a new car!"

"It's the 2008 Ford Focus S Coupe!  It comes with standard equipment plus anti-lock brakes and engine block heater, the Ford Focus S Coupe!"

"And this showcase that merely dreams about making Steve Urkel more normal might be yours, if the price is right!"

Interesting showcase.  Would you like to bid, Stormy, or pass to JokerFan?

Stormy bids, and goes with $25,555.

(Ding)

The second showcase is all yours, JokerFan!

Rich: "This showcase contains prizes revealed as we visit what our producers were thinking when they put together the list of prizes for this show!"

"For example, the producers took a look at the rough draft of prizes in today's pricing games, and decided that the two trips offered in Switch just weren't enough.  So here's where they decided to try to send someone else - on a trip to New York City!"

"You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to New York City for a six-night stay at the Iroquois Hotel.  Explore the Big Apple with a European twist!"

"Next, the producers realized that the hotel in New York had a certain European flavor to it.  So they decided to give the contestant the full experience, with this trip to Madrid!"

"You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Madrid, Spain for a six-night stay at the Gran Melia Fenix Hotel!  Enjoy many popular activites, ranging from bullfighting to soccer, and the beauty of the city itself!"

"Finally, the producers decided they might as well make this showcase Every Trip In The House, but then they realized - there aren't any more trips in the house!  So to make it up to the contestant, they're throwing in - this brand new convertible!

"It's the 2008 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible Deluxe!  It comes with standard equipment, the Ford Mustang!"

"And this showcase, where the producers hope the show's ratings are good enough to not experience that difficulty again, can be yours if the price is right!"

That's your showcase, JokerFan.  Your bid?
