$29,150 goes up on the red podium.



*DING*

res, it's time to take a look at your showcase.

res, your showcase takes a trip through the elevator at the "Price Is Right" mall!

We start by going to the second floor--jewelry--where we find this...


*DING DING*



... man's watch!

This stunning blinged-out watch has quartz movement, mother-of-pearl subdials, and a total of 11.5 carats of diamonds.  It's guaranteed to make all of your friends jealous.

Now, it's on to the third floor--furniture--where you can win...


*DING DING*



... a modern chair and ottoman!

From Highbrow Furniture, the Gluon swivel chair with matching revolving ottoman were designed by Marc Newson and are made with flame-retardant polyurethane foam over steel bases with grey lacquer finish.

Fourth floor coming up!  It's the appliances department.  We have this prize on the fourth floor:


*DING DING*



A replica vending machine!

This 1950s replica vending machine holds 81 beverage bottles and can dispense up to nine different brands.

And we finish up on the fifth floor, which is the sporting goods department.  Here, we have this prize:


*DING DING*



An exciting motorcycle!

The Ducati Superbike 1098S streetbike has a powerful 160hp 1,099cc engine and a 6-speed transmission, making it one of the highest performance bikes ever made.

And this showcase full of prizes from our mall can be yours if the price is right!


There you go, res.  Four very nice prizes.  Think about it for a while, then give me your bid.
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".

OK, I know everybody's nipples are getting hard wondering about both showcases, so let's not waste any more time.

goldie, I'll start with you.  You bid $29,150.  The actual retail price of your showcase is...












$30,173!  *audience whoos*  A difference of...



*DING*

$1,023!  Excellent bid!

res, you bid $26,000, much to the disappointment of the audience.  You'll have the last laugh if your difference is better than $1,023.  Actual retail price:



















$49,909!  *audience groans*  A difference of... oh, what does it matter?  goldie wins!  *DINGDINGDINGDINGDING*  *main theme 2007*



res, I hope you had a great time on this show.  See you again soon.

goldie, you did it again!  You've played two showcases rounds and you've won both times.  Today, you've won just a shade over $65,000!  Well done!

This is The Fireball reminding you to help control the pet population.  Cut off their damn balls.  Don't forget to join our live anniversary show at the end of this month at the TPIR '08 studio!  Peace!

Due to certain issues at the TPIR '08 studio that have recently arisen beyond my control, the venue for next Saturday night's Episode 13 has changed.  The show will now be done at Junkaholic's Game Room.  If you're not yet a member of Junkie's site and you still wish to participate in the Live Show, you can register for free at http://junkaholic95.proboards83.com/index.cgi?

Thank you.
