GEORGE GRAY: It's a pair of hoverboards! (Amber and Manuela ride around on them) (Bhen IUFB Cue) (applause) Now you can go back to the future with these hoverboards, which are fully operated by foot and can be recharged at home, work or anywhere you go, and have LED lights on the front. One comes in red, and the other in black.
Hoverboarding in heels, I see. That's nice! Now, since this is the Weekly Pricing Show, the bidding is open to everyone, and whoever is closest to the actual retail price without going over will play the next pricing game, which shall be revealed by next Wednesday. Bid away!

Let's go back to the Big Doors, where we're about to play our next pricing game. George, tell him what he can win!
(Getting Out of It)
(Door #2 opens)
GEORGE: PayingTheRent, you now have a chance to win up to $10,000 in cash...

...playing 1/2 Off!
That's right, you're going to play 1/2 Off for a shot at $10,000! There are 16 boxes; one of them has the cash, the others have nothing. It's going to be tough just picking 1 out of 16, so we're going to give you a chance to eliminate half of the boxes at a time until there are only two left. And you can do so if you know about these small prizes over there, where Rachel and Gwendolyn are. George, what's the first pair?

GEORGE: Store up to 200 CD's, DVD's and CD-ROM games with this CD storage case, and make sure that you're always connected to the Internet with this router and modem.
Now the game is called 1/2 Off because one of these prices is the actual retail price, and the other is the 1/2-off price.
CD CASE $20
MODEM $99
We need to know which one has the 1/2-off price, is it the CD case or the modem?
-
No way that storage case is $40. I'll go with the router!
Also, two cash games, back-to-back? I'm not complaining, but it's definitely something you don't see every day. :P
-
He says the modem is $198. What do you say, Gwendolyn?
CD CASE $20
MODEM $99 $99
BUZZ!
No, it was the CD case that is actually $40.
CD CASE $20 $40
MODEM $99 $99
So that means we don't eliminate any boxes, but let's try again with the next pair. George?

GEORGE: Bring the movie theater to your home with this retro-style popcorn maker. And carry your clothes, toiletries, books and just about anything else with you in this sporty duffel bag.
POPCORN MAKER $85
DUFFEL BAG $12
Now which one has the 1/2-off price, the popcorn maker or the duffel bag?
-
Dammit! Well, at least this one is a bit easier. Let's go with the duffel bag.
-
He says the duffel bag is $24. How about it, Gwendolyn?
POPCORN MAKER $85
DUFFEL BAG $12 $24
DING!
That's more like it! Let's get rid of half the boxes.
(half the boxes lower to a tinkling sound effect)
BOXES REMAINING: 1 3 4 6 9 10 13 16
Now you have eight boxes left, but we can get it down to four with this last pair. Let's hear about it, George.

GEORGE: Why use a stove when you can make pancakes, scrambled eggs, stir-fry and other delicious meals with this convenient electric skillet? And this can opener takes care of the hardest task you might have in the kitchen so you can work on your recipes sooner.
SKILLET $30
CAN OPENER $32
Is it the skillet or the can opener that has the 1/2-off price?
-
Can opener
-
He says the can opener is $64. Is he right, Gwendolyn?
SKILLET $30
CAN OPENER $32 $32
BUZZ!
No, the skillet is actually $60.
SKILLET $30 $60
CAN OPENER $32 $32
So you're stuck with these eight boxes. Only one of them has the $10,000 inside. Pick that box, and you win. Are you going with Box #1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 13 or 16?
-
Did I mention how much I hate this game? Because I hate this game. :P
4 is my favorite number, so let's go with that.
-
Very well then, let's bring down Box #4. And here comes Rachel wheeling it out to you.
RACHEL: Hey, Renty! Good luck to you!
Now put one hand here, and one hand there. When I say 3, just lift it up. 1, 2, 3...
(PayingTheRent lifts lid, but finds no money inside)
MRRRRRRRRP!/Losing Horns
(audience groans)
OH!!! This time, it was not your lucky number. Where was the $10,000?
(all boxes except 1 are lowered)
It was in the very first box, #1! Well, even though you didn't win, I hope you had fun anyway. Thanks for playing.
(applause)

When we come back, we'll have a new host take over on the Weekly Pricing Show, so stay tuned for that. We'll be back after these messages.

1 was my next choice.
:headbang:
Oh well...
