First time I figured a winning Pay the Rent combination during game play:
Detergent (9.99)
Cider + Candy (7.99 + 1.50 = 9.49)
Peanut Butter + Crumbs (5.49 + 2.99 = 8.48)
Deoderant (3.49)
It makes sense to pair tires and car washes with a car in a prize package, though I have to assume any contestant who failed to win the car would forfeit either of the other prizes if won because what's the point without the car.
Roger, when was the last time we had a perfect Money Game playing?
It makes sense to pair tires and car washes with a car in a prize package, though I have to assume any contestant who failed to win the car would forfeit either of the other prizes if won because what's the point without the car. That doesn't matter today though. Awesome to see Virgil get that Master Key.
I don't do compact cars very well.
Not necessarily. They may already have a car and would still get use out of those prizes. If anything, I'd be more likely to refuse (or sell) that car since I already have a perfectly good car and I don't do compact cars very well.
In addition to what therealcu2010 said above, a lot of medium-valued unsponsored prizes come as an equivalent cash value. For example, when I played Master Key last year, the middle prize was house cleaning for a year, which was awarded to me as $2,080 in cash. It wouldn't surprise me if "car washes for a year" came as a similar value in cash, which the contestant can use to get car washes, go on a trip, or do whatever they like with.
It’s really bad when you have Pay the Rent basically give the contestant $5,000 while it takes a huge unlikelihood Tomget that much in Punch-A-Bunch.the game is awful, what can you do?
