This was a pretty good show, but it would've been better if someone won the million.
Golden Road: Well, the guy did win the first two prizes, but the "$100,000 or more" drought continues, since nobody's won anything that expensive yet.
Punch a Bunch: A Million Dollar Game! Wow! I thought that if they ever made this game the MDG, they would put a $1,000,000 slip in one of the holes and whoever found it would win the whole thing! Now that the MDS top prize is $50,000 (which I also like), could a similar boost be in store for daytime? Thirty years ago, $10,000 might have been a big deal, but that's no longer the case. I'd like to see $25,000 on daytime, if not more. Just a thought to ponder.
Cliff Hangers: Woo-hoo, Mr. Yodely Guy lives!
Lucky $even: A Porsche appears on the show for the first time since the famous Toni incident of 1992! Too bad it was lost on the third number. But thankfully, Drew allowed the whole price to be revealed on TV, or otherwise we wouldn't have known the whole thing. I wish they would've done this more often.
Grocery Game: I, too, thought the 99¢ Midol was a joke. And they played the losing horns after the MRRP! Reminds me too much of Check-Out, which is basically a copycat of this game.
Squeeze Play: For a $40,000-plus car? Wow! And somebody won it?! Wow again!
Showcases: I knew this was going to happen eventually, that there would be an overbid on a Showcase. Of course, this never happened while the $1,000 DSW limit was still in place, but now that they cut it back to $500, I figured it would be a matter of time before someone went over. And to make matters worse, it was the guy who had the two hybrid SUVs in his Showcase. The first Showcase overbid in an MDS since Barker's last one, and it ends the same way: The other contestant wins a Cadillac XLR, which happens to be the same car offered in Adam's Showcase when he won the million bucks!
Lots of surreal moments, but otherwise, a fun show to watch from start to finish. Then again, any MDS is always fun to watch!
