First of all, rcbought, as the winner of the Fifteenth Episode Prediction Game, you may elect to use your automatic first four entry anytime from this episode to Episode 20. I'm mostly imposing a limit just so I won't have to keep track of it for all eternity, and possibly everyone else's should I decide to try that again.
Anyway, our last episode turned out mighty fine, with four games won, one game lost that would've been more disappointing if it had been won, and the more expensive showcase won! So we have quite a show to beat, but we may just do it with our sixteenth episode here!
Want to play? Then sign up! You will be sent a PM when you are called to come on down, and only then; after that, it will be your responsibility to keep track of this thread. If you miss once in contestants' row or in the showcase showdown, I'll handle things on a case by case basis as to whether or not to give a second chance, like Jade would've gotten a second chance in the last show had it not been the last item up for bids, as he had an adequate reason for missing the deadline. Miss once during a pricing game or the showcase, though, and you're out. Pricing games that have not yet begun will simply have a replacement contestant called; partially finished pricing games will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis as to what I decide to do with it.
And of course, we always have questions nowadays when you sign up... and we've got another optional question for you here: I have my reasons why I've set Cliff Hangers up to be kinda' hard both times it was played; quite simply, of every game I've hosted, I want least for Cliff Hangers to be won. Should it be made easier, though, or is the end result worth having the game being as hard as it's been? Is an overly expensive prize enough compensation for that?
And a bonus optional question: only two games that I've hosted more than once have never been won. Cliff Hangers is one of them. Anyone know the other?
The show starts at midnight on Monday, May 22, so if you want to play, just sign up by then!
-
First in lime!
-
I guess I'll sign up second then :) And I think Cliff Hangers should be left as is. I personally like the idea of a LFAT winning the game, but if you up the stakes, let's mess with those small prizes a bit. It shouldn't be a TOTAL gimme in that case. At least here in this forum. On the show, steady as she goes...
-
I'm finally over my great loss from a few episodes ago, so I'm ready to make a comeback. Hopefully, of course.
For Cliff Hangers, compensate the hardness for a more expensive prize. Doesn't have to be a car, doesn't have to be a GEM car :-P, but that would be nice.
Regarding the second question... I'm gonna go with It's In The Bag. ;-) I'm sure it has to be a GP game that has been lost (come on, it takes a miracle or two to win the game!), but I don't remember quite far back.
And finally... Sternal, you feeling a little fruity? :-P
-
A $29,000+ living room group wasn't expensive enough :-P?
-
I'm in again! Hopefully, I won't be part of the FFBC again :-). Definitely keep Cliffy the way it is...it's hard, but still doable, and should be hard for the level of prize offered. (Of course, I doubt your mountain climber would agree with me here!) I am going to say Danger Price is the multi-played game that's been lost 100% of the time.

... Which probably happened when I stopped paying attention to PA threads. :-) I apologize.
-
*Signs up*
Personally, I don't mind seeing Cliffy being made that difficult.
-
I'm in and Cliff Hangers is just fine and no changes is necessary.
I'm stumped about the game lost time after time.
-
I'm in!
-
Let me in!
I'll say that Cliffhangers should be left as is. It's middle of the road, as long as you remember the "Price's escalate trick."
As for the other game still on the losing streak: Oh dear, Lucky 7 came to my mind. I'll tentatively say this is my final answer.
-
I'll return to defend my title! :-)
The only change I suggest for Cliffy is do away with the anvil drop after Hans falls off the cliff.
As for the bonus question, I'll guess Punchboard.
-
I skipped last show, but I'd like to play this time.
As for Cliffhangers.....I don't see a problem with it, as long as if you make it difficult, play for an expensive prize. If you want to do an easy playing, find a cheap prize to use, like a $3000 dining or living room group or something else. It's basically your choice.
As for the bonus part.....I would say Master Key. I think it was played somewhere around episode 12, and it was lost.
-
I think you're fine. As a rule of thumb, the difficulty of the game correlates with the prize.
Oh, and I am in.
-
I gotta get in this one -- I need PG wins!
I actually enjoy the added difficulty in the games here. I mean, we're all observant fans of the game; the Play Alongs should be more challenging. So I see nothing wrong with Cliffhangers not being won.
-
Frank seeing that you are the Professor Price of play along, I think that your Cliff Hangers set up is just fine. I say bring it ON.
I will forgo my freebie this time and just sign up normally
Also I say Punchboard was lost twice
-
I'll sign up! This is my first time! :-D
-
I'm in....
Cliffhangers: That depends. Make it a little easier, unless like Brewer, you plan on replacing Hans with Britney Spears (or better yet, Barry Bonds). If that's the case, then make it even harder!
Also, I'm going to guess that That's Too Pink has been lost more than once, judging by the EVIL setup I got nailed with...
-
Sign me up!
-
I'm in.
-
Your Cliff Hangers setup is just right. I love seeing the animation, so that's what makes it worthwhile. As for the other game that's never been won, I'll say Master Key.
-
I'll play too!
I want to see Cliffy lost! I want to see the mountain climber tumble!
I'll say Squeeze Play has been played more than once and lost both times.
-
I'm in... and as for the Bonus Optional Question, I'll say Double Prices just for the heck of it.
-
Madonna: "replacing Hans with Barry Bonds"
THAT IS FUNNY!!! Why not? I agree. I'm in, too. Goes with Bonds and his 714 HR today. My ideas for Cliffy include: using items in not the usual price order, (low to high) playing for a cheap prize, and, instead of SP, use items $100-$999. For the bonus question, my guess would be Triple Play.
-
We're going to have a full contestants row. 8-)

What can be said besides the fact this is one of the darkest days in sports history. Making matters worse is the stupid celebration going on in Bristol, CT - headquarters of the Barry Bonds Fan Club (AKA ESPN). :-?
-
IN!
Cliffy should be left as it is. Most of us on here watch TPiR more often than casual viewers, so we might have an easier time.
Besides, too easy games aren't nearly as fun. It needs a challenge.
I'll say Punchy for the other question.
-
I'll sign Up!
Leave Cliffy alone! I like it hard (And when are ya' gonna play Hurdles, anyways?!)
I know Punch-a-Bunch, Double Prices, It's in the Bag, and Danger Price have all been won on Frank's show before (Heck! Danger Price was the first pricing game I won on Frank's show!), so I'll say Master Key.
-
I agree with making Cliffy hard...just more satisfying when I finally get a crack at it and win (which you know's bound to happen someday :-D ).
Oh, and for the bonus question, I've played Shell Game, Punchboard, Squeeze Play, Take Two, Pick-A-Pair, and at least one other game that escapes me right now. Thus, if you know my record with Frank's games, at least three of you need to change your guess for the bonus question. :-) My answer is That's Too Much!.
Oh, and just to make it official, I'm in.
-
Didn't Frank have a That's Too Much! won when the first choice was the right answer?
-
He sure did, Alfonzo.. And I'm the one who had the honor of playing it! :(
-
Yes, the first choice was right on his budget show. No, it was not won. In fact, when I first saw it, I was pretty sure the first price was the winner. Unfortunately for Madonna, I didn't see it until they were on the second choice. :-(
-
That's Too Much was won on Episode 6, though, despite that the game was absolutely not intened to be won, with the right price ninth.
For those of you wondering what pricing game, besides Cliff Hangers, was played at least twice, yet never won, the answer is Master Key, with one key being won both times. So good memories or good guesses for those of you who said that. But no more silly questions: it's time to start our show!
Rich: Here it comes, from the Golden-Road.net forums online, the Internet's most exciting couple o' weeks of fantastic prizes: the fabulous 20,160-minute Price is Right!
Alfonzo, come on down!
PriceFanArmadillo, come on down!
Madonna, come on down!
And CrimsonViper, come on down! You are the first four contestants on The Price is Right! And now, here is the star of The Price is Right, Frank!
*Frank enters the stage through the big doors.*
Welcome to The Price is Right! Thank you, thank you, I thank you all for that wonderful, wonderful welcome! At least I'm hoping it was wonderful. Enough silliness, now, there is the first item up for bids today!
Rich: A tasty-making barbecue. From Pitt's & Spitt's, this Ultimate BBQ Pit with upright smoker is 96 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 75 inches tall, and features an offset firebox for log burning cooking through indirect heat.
And that barbecue will go to the one of you four who bids nearest to the actual retail price without going over. Bid in dollars, please, because we round off our prices to the nearest dollar, and Crimson, you get the first bid of the day!
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper[/color]
[color=0000FF]Madonna[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo[/color]
[color=009900]Alfonzo[/color]
-
Yay! I reign in the red spot once more!
Funny enough, it's a new BBQ I can use to toast the Ducks... I'll try $1200.
-
$1,500
-
$2,700!
-
$1,600
-
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper: $1200[/color]
[color=0000FF]Madonna: $1500[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo: $2700[/color]
[color=009900]Alfonzo: $1600[/color]
All right, everyone has bid! The actual retail price of the barbecue is...
$2395, the winner is Alfie! And Alfie, as the winner, I want you to follow me back here to the big doors for our first game of the day, for a prize that you'll love! Howdy, Alfie. Now, this is our sixteenth show, is it not? And what better way to start our sixteenth show than by giving you this!
Rich: Oh Alfonzo, you now have a chance to win $10,000!
Ooh, Alfie! Think of all the things you could buy with $10,000! What would you get first? Ooh, just thinking about all that makes me want you to win it, and hopefully you can playing Half Off!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now, we have 16 boxes here. One of those 16 boxes has $10,000 in it! If you can pick out that box, it's yours! Now, that might seem a little hard, since there are also 15 boxes that are empty. So I'm going to show you two prizes. One of them has the right price on it, but the other has a price that is half off. If you can tell me which price is half off, we'll get rid of half the boxes, making your choice of box easier! Then we'll show you two more prizes, and again, if you can tell us which price is half off, we'll get rid of half the boxes again, leaving only four boxes left. And then two more prizes, and again, pick the one with a price that is half off and we'll get rid of half of the remaining boxes! It's that easy, Fonzie, so let's do this! Rich, tell us about these first two prizes!
Rich: It's the Sharp R-310JW 1200 watt microwave oven with a 1.2 cubic foot capacity, lots of cooking and defrosting options, and lots of settings to choose from.
And the Dualit Lite 4-slice toaster, easy to remove small items, and automatically adjusts for bagels, buns, and muffins.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
The microwave is marked at $90. The toaster is marked at $80. One of those prices is right. The other is half off the actual price. If you can tell me which prize's price is half off, you'll win the two prizes, but more importantly, we'll get rid of half the boxes!
-
Because it's you Frank, I'll say the toaster.
-
All right... for some reason, Alfie feels it's the toaster for the sole reason that I'm hosting. Why? I don't know. But is he right? Is the toaster half off?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
Yes! It's $160! Take away half the boxes!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now there are only eight boxes left, but let's make it easier by getting rid of half of those boxes. Rich, please tell us about the next two prizes.
Rich: Here we have the Nissan vacuum-insulated coffee press holds over a quart of coffee hot for hours.
And a pair of shoes from LifeStride, the women's Skimmer Dress Slingback are elegant high-heel shoes for those occasions that require the very best.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Coffee press, $25. Shoes, $30. Which one is half off?
-
Shoes.
-
All right. Are the shoes half off?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
Ooh, no, you missed that one. The coffee press was $50. But we can still get it down to four boxes if you can get this last pair right, so Rich, do your magic!
Rich: Of course. The KSB5 5-speed blender from KitchenAid with a 40-ounce pitcher works at any speed.
And the Soleus Air 120-blade power fan comes with three fan speeds and three wind modes, all selectable via a convenient remote control.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Blender, $65. Fan, $48. Again, which do you believe is half off?
-
*sneaks up on stage and looks them over, then returns to her spot on Contestant's Row*
You call those high heels? I'll show you a high heel! :-P
-
Sticking to the right. Fan.
-
I hope you're right, Alfie! Is that fan half off?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
Oh, no, it was the blender that was half off. The blender was $130.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
I won't lie, Alfie: this is going to be tough. Only one of those eight boxes have the $10,000 you seek. So just tell me which box you think it is, and cross your fingers!
-
Let's try the ever-popular #13!
-
Nice number. Besides, it's the perfect number for Frank. :-P
-
The lovely Holly is now carefully putting box #13 on the stand, and is going to bring it over to us.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Normally, this is the part of the game where you would lift off the lid, but considering that doesn't work very easily on a message board, I'll just do that myself, and if this box has $10,000, when I lift this lid, it'll all just come pouring all over the floor, where you can swim in all the money!
Ooh, let's hope your luck here is good, Alfie. Now, I'll count 1, 2, 3, now, and when I say now, I want me to lift this lid... I need to do this just right too, because that camera is going to get my--err, your reaction, and we want this to look good! Are you ready? Am I ready?
1...
2...
3...
NOW!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk! TPiR losing horns play.[/color]
No, it's empty I'm afraid. Where was the money, anyway?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
It was in box #11. Alfie, I'm sorry. We'll try again after this.
***
I was just talking to our producer a moment ago--in other words, I was talking to myself--and he told me that box #13 would have been the one empty box to stay up there no matter how well he played, so considering that, it might be good that Alfie didn't do too well with the small prizes. But now, Rich, we need another player!
Rich: How about Doughnut? Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
Take your spot, and now, here comes the Price is Right tugboat with the next item up for bids.
[color=0000FF]TOOT! TOOT![/color]
Rich: And the Price is Right tugboat is bringing out a cool cooler. From Garage Toys, this Coca-Cola Jr. ice chest cooler has a chip and rust resistant powder coated finish, embossed with the Coca-Cola log on all four sides, and is made of steel with an aluminum insulated liner, and measures 36 inches high by 25 inches wide and 18 inches deep.
And Doughnut, start the bidding!
[color=009900]Doughnut[/color]
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper[/color]
[color=0000FF]Madonna[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo[/color]
-
Doggone it! Will the money EVER be in Box #13?!
Thanks, Frankie. I feel a little better now.
-
Hmm...
I'll try $800.
-
$599
-
$700
-
$801.
-
[color=009900]Doughnut: $800[/color]
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper: $599[/color]
[color=0000FF]Madonna: $700[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo: $801[/color]
And the actual retail price of the Coke cooler is...
$750, and Maddy wins! And Maddy, I want you to follow me up to the turntable for our second pricing game, and I want you to win that prize.
Rich: A fun new snowmobile. The Yamaha RS90 Vector GT snowmobile is a fun ride to go out in the snow, without the need for a one-horse open sleigh.
And Maddy, you're going to play a very easy game. Why, some would even call it a push over: I know I do!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now, what I want you to do is to start pushing these blocks, so that the four digits in the price of the snowmobile appear in the blue window. At that point, you should stop pushing. If you stop at the right time, and the right price for the snowmobile winds up in that blue window, you win it!
Now, as you push, some of the block may fall over the edge, into that yellow box. Once a block falls down there, you can't get it back; that box goes all the way to China. If you like, you can look down that box, and see all the people there, and wave hi if you like!
Anyway, Maddy, get over there and start pushing!
-
Say $9188, It was on the premiere of Balance Game '06!
-
*waves 'Hi' to the people of China, then pushes all the way down to $9,188*
-
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
And Maddy, you have a price of $9188 in that window, and if that's right, you will be driving home in your new snowmobile! Or maybe not, but still, you might be able to go to the mountains and have fun, or something. Will she?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding![/color]
Yes it is, and that is your snowmobile, Maddy, congratulations! More after this!
***
Rich, we need another player!
Rich: And another player I shall provide with LiteBulb88, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
And now, Britey, here comes the lovely Janice, badly playing our next item up for bids.
Rich: Take cover as the lovely Janice plays this exciting trombone. The Jupiter 528S B-flat valve trombone is silver plated with hand-lapped nickel-silver valves, a lacquered brass body, and a wood frame case.
And Britey, you get the first bid.
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo[/color]
[color=009900]Doughnut[/color]
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper[/color]
-
The instant I happen to be checking this thread, I get called to come on down. Sweet! I'll bid $1200.
-
$1695, good sir.
-
$1400.
-
$1!
-
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88: $1200[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo: $1695[/color]
[color=009900]Doughnut: $1400[/color]
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper: $1[/color]
Bids are in, and the actual retail price of the random trombone is...
$1475, and Doughnut wins! And Doughnut, I want you to come over with me to our giant price tag, where we have the day's third game, for something great! Now Doughnut, with all the fun we've been having today, before now, I still haven't tried to give away one of these!
Rich: A new car! A Toyota Carolla CE sedan, a great car to ride around in to get here and there and everywhere in between. Comes with standard features, it's a Toyota Carolla!
And you will win that, we hope, playing Pocket Change.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now, just to make the game a little bit tougher, we are going to give you the first number for free, so please light that up for Doughnut.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
It's 1. Now, do you see the price tag on the car over there?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Your eyes are not deceiving you: we truly are selling that car for a mere 25¢. And look what we have right here, for you!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
You are starting this game already with 25¢ in hand! Unfortunately, you can't buy the car just yet. We have to find out the actual retail price of the car first, just because I'm a big meanie head. You'll guess the price one digit at a time. Each time you guess right, you get to take an envelope off the board. Each time you guess wrong, we raise the selling price of the car by 25¢. Why? Again, I'm a big meanie head.
So now, with all that in mind, Doughnut, tell me the second number in the price of that car!
-
I believe I'll start with a 9.
-
Is the second digit 9?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No. Raise that car's price to 50¢!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Well, we don't have to worry about an anti-climactic finish to the game anymore, at least. What do you want to try next, Doughnut?
-
Doughnut, I say go with a 4!
-
Alright, let's go with a 4!
-
Is it 4?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
Yes it is! Now take an envelope off of that board. I know they're not usually numbered, but without the numbers, it would be kinda' tough to tell me which one you were taking off the board.
And take the whole envelope: don't pull the pocket change out of the envelope!
-
*Takes #14 off the board*
-
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Very well, Doughnut. What is the third number in the price of the car?
-
Hmm...
3.
-
Is the third number 3?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No! Raise that car to 75¢!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now we know it's not 3. What might it be?
-
How about 0?
-
Is it 0!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No! Now the car's up to $1.00!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now is that third number 5 or 9?
-
Oh, boy...
5?
-
Please be 5!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No! The car's going up to $1.25 now!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now, we know the third number is 9: that's all that's left. So please light up the 9.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
And now, with the 9 in place, you may take another envelope off the board.
-
*Takes #10 off the board*
-
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
All right, Doughnut. Let's hope you do better with the fourth number: what is it?
-
Let's try that 3 again.
-
Are you a 3 yet, fourth number?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No... we're up to $1.50 now.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
It's either 5 or 0. Which one is it?
-
*Crosses his fingers*
5!
-
Please, please, please, 5!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No, no, no! Raise the car to $1.75!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Well, we know it's 0 now, so light up the 0.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
And you can take another envelope off the board now.
-
I'm not having much luck with this, am I?
*Takes #2 off the board*
-
No luck with the pricing part of the game, anyway. Just pray that you're getting some damn good envelopes here.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
OK. Now is that last number 3 or 5?
-
I hope 3rd time's a charm with that 3...
-
Be nice to Doughnut! Be a 3!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No. I'm afraid the price goes up to $2.00 now.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
And now we know the last number is 5.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
Again, I hope you're doing better picking envelopes than guessing the car price. Go over there and get one more envelope.
-
*Takes #7 off the board*
*Hopes for the best*
-
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
All right, and I hope you've done well with the envelopes, again. Now, as you recall, at the start of the game I gave you this 25¢.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
And now, we'll put that 25¢ on the board.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now, the car price is $2.00, so you must have at least $1.75 in these four envelopes to win the car. And you're not allowed to use your own pocket change in your pants pocket either. Now, in this envelope, we have...
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
A dime. That brings you up to 35¢.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
And in the next envelope, we have...
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Another dime, bringing you to 45¢.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
And going on, in this envelope is...
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
75¢, bringing you up to...
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
Darn. Still only $1.20. So you need 80¢ in this last envelope to win, and there is only one amount left on the board that can do it: the Dobstopper. If this last envelope contains the Dobstopper, then you--wait, I'm sorry, I got that wrong. It's called the $2.00 card, apparently. But either way, if this final envelope has that $2.00 card, then you will be driving down the streets of Dunkin' and Krispy, showing off your new wheels, and maybe some crullers. It is...
In this final envelope...
That I'm about to look into...
Is it $2.00...
It's stuck... it's stuck... it's... there!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding![/color]
Yes! Yes! The $2.00 card! You didn't have to worry about that stupid ol' price all along, 'cause you had the $2.00 card, congratulations, our little glazed friend! Showcase showdown #1 next!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
***
And with me I have Doughnut, I have Madonna, and I have Alfonzo, ready to spin the big wheel! If you get $1.00 in one spin, or a combination of two spins, you win $1000 and a bonus spin. If the wheel lands on one of the two green sections in your bonus spin, you win $5000 more. But if it stops on the $1.00 in your bonus spin, you win $10,000 more, for a total of $11,000! Not only that, but the one of you closest to $1.00 without going over will be in the showcase at the end of the show, where you can win... uh... stuff?
Anyway, Doughnut, as you have won the most in this half of the show, you will be spinning last. Madonna, you're second, and Alfonzo, you get to start us off! Just choose a number from 1-20 to spin!
-
Nice going, Doughnut.. You stopped the Frank! :-P
-
Man that price was EVIL! Just as evil as Half-Off!
-
I'm STILL sticking with 13!
-
Oh, come on. Pocket Change couldn't have been all that tough if it was won. Err, right?
Anyway Alfie, you're still not going to like what 13's giving you :-P!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd45.txt)
45¢. You can stand on that, or you can spin again.
-
I think he doesn't like what YOUR 13's are giving him... The 13 on my game didn't turn out too bad. :-P
And, yes, that Pocket Change setup was evil.. Doughnut just managed to pull that $2.00 envelope.
-
Let's try 7.
-
And this isn't very good. About your best hope is that it doesn't go onto the dollar here...
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd5.txt)
Well Alfie, you're safe with 50¢. And now, Maddy, it's your turn to spin the wheel.
-
9
-
You may be getting 80¢ here!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd35.txt)
No, it's just 35¢, spin it again!
-
Okay, now let's try 13...
-
Here comes 65¢... here comes 65¢!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd10.txt)
Ooh, no, just a dime. I'm afraid 45¢ isn't enough, Maddy. I hope you enjoy your snowmobile! Doughnut, it's your turn to spin that wheel!
-
*points a crucifix at the wheel* Thank you, I had fun!
-
Let's do this...
16
-
And 70¢ will do it... but it's not stopping. 90¢ will do it, too!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd25.txt)
No, 25¢ isn't enough, spin again. Can Alfie really win with just 50¢? Guess we'll find out!
-
It'd be even freakier, considering he couldn't win with 90 cents in my show...
Then again, I honestly think someone or something has possessed my wheel. :-o
-
Oh, man...
5
-
And 60¢ will do it if it stops... which it didn't. But 40¢ will do it if it goes on...
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd20.txt)
No! Only 45¢, and that's not enough. Alfie, believe it or not, you are the winner! Now, if this looks like fun, and you'd like to play in one of these shows, here's Rich to tell you how!
Rich: If you'd like to be a contestant on Frank's Price is Right, just send a self-adressed stamped envelope to where ever you feel like. Or just sign up when you see the thread for Frank's 17th episode. Back to you, Frank!
More pricing games after this announcement!
***
One of these days, we'll have to actually make some sort of announcement after the first showcase showdown. I always say that, yet there's never any announcement. Ah well. Rich, we need another player!
Rich: It's Garvin8r, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
And take your spot at the green podium, Garvin, and here comes the lovely Dian, wearing the next item up for bids.
Rich: And the lovely Dian is wearing a breathtaking pair of boots. From Guiseppe Zanotti, this brown embellished boot is made from brown crocodile and snakeskin-print leather, a 2-inch stacked leather heel, and tonal floral embellishments on the heel and toe, for a stunning look.
And Garvin, start us off.
[color=009900]Garvin8r[/color]
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper[/color]
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo[/color]
-
I won on 50¢? Whoda thunk?! :-o
-
Let's start at $840.
-
Did Frank have a thing for offering boots as items up for bids before I came along, or did little ol' me cause that? :-P
-
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you...
$1350!
-
I'm trying to picture myself wearing these things...yeah, it'd definitely be breathtaking :-). I'll bid $500.
-
Yes, you certainly would be.. :-P
-
Hmm...$841? I'll try that.
-
[color=009900]Garvin8r: $840[/color]
[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper: $1350[/color]
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88: $500[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo: $841[/color]
I dunno' how much you have to do with offering boots, Maddy... I've been trying to come up with different prizes for the show. Maybe some influence, I dunno'. But who won these particular boots? The actual retail price of the boots is...
$1375, and Crimson wins! And Crimson, I want you to follow me back to the big doors where we have a prize for you to try to win, and here it is.
Rich: A wonderful trip to the Bahamas. You and a guest will fly round-trip to Nassau of the Bahama Islands via Air Jamaica for a six-night stay at the Holiday Inn, where you'll enjoy the relaxing beaches and overall ambiance of the Bahamas.
And Crimson, you will be going to the Bahamas if you correctly place these numbers side by side.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now, if you move the numbers side by side this way, you get a price of $6184. But if you move the numbers side by side this other way, you get a price of $8461. So go over there and put those numbers side by side.
-
It's not Ocho Rios, so I would say 6184
-
Yep...I just knew I'd pay for deviating from my "Bid high every time" strategy. :-\
-
Interesting, Frank.. Though, I'll show you some boots to offer! :-P
-
I'll listen to Joe's advice, and go with $6184.
-
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Very well. Crimson has placed the numbers side by side to form a price of $6184 for that trip, and if that's right, Crimson, you'll be on your way to the Bahamas! Is he a winner?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding![/color]
Yes, and you, my red friend, are going to the Bahamas! Have fun, Crimson! There's more Price is Right coming up!
Rich: Stay tuned for more pricing games and the fabulous showcases which are coming up on the second half of The Price is Right!
***
Now Rich, we have had a pretty darn good day so far. Three games out of four won so far, and if all goes well, we have have a 5-out-of-6er on our hands, so Rich, think carefully for a moment, and then call--
Rich: jjc92... jjc94... jj85xq... JayC, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
And take your spot, Jay, and up on the turntable we have the next item up for bids.
Rich: Up on the turntable we have a useful roller cabinet. The Waterloo Magnum series combo tool chest has a 5-drawer top chest plus an 8-drawer rolling cabinet, measuring 36 inches wide by 21 inches deep by 35.5 inches high.
And Jay, you start the bidding.
[color=FF0000]JayC[/color]
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo[/color]
[color=009900]Garvin8r[/color]
-
I'll say $560 please, Frank!
-
$675.
-
$800.
-
$801!
(sorry Army, just had to...)
-
[color=FF0000]JayC: $560[/color]
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88: $675[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo: $800[/color]
[color=009900]Garvin8r: $801[/color]
And the actual retail price of the cabinet is...
...the same as our old multi-colored living room friend, it's $3058, and that means Garvin wins! And Garvin, I want you to follow me to the giant price tag, where we will play a game for a spectacular prize! Now Garvin, I know we just gave one away not too long ago, but I'm feeling quite generous, and I want to give away another one of these!
Rich: A new car! A Scion TC coupe, a great car for the open road. Comes with standard features, 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, carbon fiber engine cover, car cover, all-weather mats, door sill enhancements, ground effects kit, auto dimming mirror, rear pedestal spoiler, and EMX Super 7 18"x7.5" alloy wheels, a Scion coupe!
And here come the dice for the Dice Game. Now, what is the first number in the price of that car?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
2! That is a $20,000+ automobile you are playing for here. Now, what I want you to do is to roll one of the four dice here, one for each of the last four numbers in the price of the car. If you roll the exact number, then great! If not, then you must guess whether the actual number is higher or lower than the number on the die. Now, to help you out, I will remind you that there are no numbers in the price of the car higher than 6, and there are no zeros in the price of the car.
Now, with all that in mind, roll one of the dice over the line, and let's hope it's the second number in the price of the car! To roll, call out a number from 1 to 6. This is completely random on my part, what number rolls what on the die.
-
Wow, nearly $5,000 in one day!
Let's try 4 to start. I'll use 3, 5, and 3 again as my other "rolls".
-
And for your first roll, you have...
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
A 6! Is that right?
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No, but we don't care; we know it's lower!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
All right, next of the dice, over the line.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Another 6! Is that right?
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No, but again, who cares! We know it's lower!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
You're in great shape here; just keep it up! Roll the next die!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
You're rolling great numbers! Is it 1?
[color=009900]dingdingdingding![/color]
Yes it is!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Look at this. Will ya' look at this! We gave you the first number, we know the second number is lower, we know the third number is lower, you rolled the fourth number... if you can roll a 1, a 6, or the exact number, you won't have to worry about a single thing! You'll have it made! So do it! Do it!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
A 3. Has Garvin won that car!
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No, I'm afraid you weren't quite that lucky, but it's only one choice you have to make. So do you believe that final number is higher or lower than 3?
-
I believe that's lower than three.
And win or lose, I don't care. I just can't believe I rolled two sixes and a one and didn't have to make a decision on the middle number (the second six).
-
That's teh luck for sure, and you're just one correct guess from the good Scion. You know, the one that doesn't look like a box.
-
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
He went against the odds, but then, what do I know? That might serve him well, but we'll get to that later. Now, we gave him the first number, he rolled the fourth number, we know the second number is lower than 6, light it up.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
And we know the third number is lower than 6, light it up.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]ding![/color]
Now, you went against the odds here, for some reason. If it's a 4, 5, or 6, you'll lose... but then, if it's a 1 or a 2, you still win. Any particular reason you went against the odds? A hunch? Or you don't trust our producer? Well, let's see: light up that last number!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=009900]dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding![/color]
It's 1, and you win that $21,111 automobile, congratulations! And that, my friends, is undeniable proof that I'm not rigging anything here :-P! Back after this.
***
Now Rich, we have had four games out of five won, including that very unexpected Dice Game win. And it doesn't look like we can count on Army, who seems to be having a surprisingly off day here. Rich, can you help us make it a 5-out-of-6er?
Rich: I'll try, Frank, with shellgame69, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
And take your spot, shelly, and Kathleen, come on down, wearing our next item up for bids.
Rich: And the lovely Kathleen is wearing a brilliant diamond ring. From Jewelry Days, this blue sapphire and diamond ring has a half carat of TW princess-cut diamonds, a 7 millimeter by 5 millimeter emerald-cut blue sapphire, and 14 karot white gold, making for an absolutely stunning ring.
And shelly, you start us off.
[color=009900]shellgame69[/color]
[color=FF0000]JayC[/color]
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo[/color]
-
Woohoo! I had a funny feeling that last number was a 1. My gamble paid off!
I'm starting to find a groove here. I just hope this "very unexpected" win doesn't hurt the budget for future winners.
-
$1050.
-
Well done, Garvin8r. You definitely stopped the Frank there!
-
$1,200
-
$21,111?! Evil... Good job stopping The Bloom, Garvin! :lol:
-
Yes...well done, Gavin! And that would have been a really mean price to use in Lucky 7.
I'll bid $2000.
-
I'll say...heck, in my last show, I had a $27,128 car that I was gonna use in Lucky Seven, but changed my mind because I thought it would be too evil. (Then again, I ended up going with the overly evil 21-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Money Game...)
C'mon Frank, no faith in me? Even though I have the last bid (again)? I guess I'll have to prove myself all over again...sorry, I was too busy griping, could you repeat the bids please? :-D
Wait...I can just look over there *peers over the Row at the other three bids*...hmm, I'll go with $2,001. (I hope LiteBulb didn't go high just to keep me from winning with an even higher bid.)
-
[color=009900]shellgame69: $1050[/color]
[color=FF0000]JayC: $1200[/color]
[color=0000FF]LiteBulb88: $2000[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo: $2001[/color]
Cocky much, Army? Hmph. Anyway, the actual retail price of the diamond ring is...
$3149, and Army has escaped from contestants' row! And just stand right beside me, Army, and your prize is right over there!
Rich: It's a lovely bedroom group. From Broyhill, the 100th Anniversary bedroom group makes for a great ambiance while you're dozing off for the night in style. And for a comfortable night's sleep, the Comfortaire Royal Duchess sleep set will allow comfort to meet with beauty for an impeccible combination. It's a prize package worth $8762!
And I will sell you that lovely dining room group for a mere 1¢. If you have a mere 1¢ by the end of the game, you will be the proud owner of that great living room!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
And here are the three Price is Right pennies you will be using to play Penny Ante. And you can't play if you don't know the products in today's game, so Rich, if you please.
Rich: All right Frank, first we have this, a 16 oz. bag of Starburst Tropical fruit chews. It used to have tropical punch, the only flavor anyone cared about. Now that it's been replaced with royal berry punch, there's no reason to even bother getting these anymore.
And second, a 1.62 oz. jar of McCormick's Gourmet Collection ground black pepper, to flavor all your favorite dishes. This sentence is here only to make the plug for this product longer, because really, this whole sentence here is otherwise completely useless.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
Now we'll start with the Starbursts. Are those Starbursts $2.69, $3.29, $2.39, or $2.99? Get it right and we move on to the pepper. Get it wrong and you give me back a penny. So what is your first choice, Army?
-
Where I shop, that bag is $2.59 (and I know because I love Starbursts, so I'm gonna hope the Louisiana market's somewhat close to the Illinois market and say $2.69!
-
Well, let's hope that's a good place you shop, and let's hope for $2.69! And just imagine the sound effect yourself for this.
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No. That'll cost you a penny. What do you want to try next?
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
-
Hmm...$2.39?
-

(I hope LiteBulb didn't go high just to keep me from winning with an even higher bid.)
Dude, I've got a 10-bid losing streak in Frank's games (or something like that)...I wouldn't bid high in the last IUFB just to keep someone else from winning. But I appreciate your concern :-).
-
Yeah... Britey has trouble with contestants' row with my shows. But now, let's hope $2.39 for the Starbursts is right!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]
No! Now Army, you really need to shape up here! You have only one penny left, and we're still on the first product! You have never lost a game in my shows, and it would just be tragic to start now! So $3.29 or $2.99, get it right!
[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]
-
Ugh...*stares at board* I know it makes no sense, but my gut says $3.29!
-
Well let's hope your instincts aren't shot here, because it would be just tragic if you lost your first ever game in one of my shows... ooh, make it $3.29!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/price/penny5.txt)
[color=FF0000]bonk TPiR losing horns play.[/color]
No. No, I'm sorry Army. It was $2.99. At least, I hope... 'cause if that thing says "no," then we'd have to give you the prize anyway.
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/price/penny6.txt)
Nope. $2.99. Army, I'm sorry this had to finally happen. The worst part is that now we'll never get to see the price of the pepper. Darn. Showcase showdown #2, next.
***
Rich: Contestants not appearing on stage will receive and now, back to our showcase showdown!
Thank you, Rich... I think you had a page missing from your script there. But here I have Garvin8r, CrimsonViper, and PriceFanArmadillo, ready to spin the big wheel! If you get $1.00 in one spin, or a combination of two spins, you win $1000 and a bonus spin. In the bonus spin, if the wheel lands on one of the two green sections, you win $5000 more. But if it lands on $1.00 in your bonus spin, you win $10,000 more, for a total of $11,000! Not only that, but the one of you nearest to $1.00 without going over will be in the showcase at the end of the show, where you can win imaginary prizes!
Now Garvin8r, as you have won the most in this half of the show, you will be spinning last. CrimsonViper, you're second, and PriceFanArmadillo, you will start us off whether you like it or not. Just call a number from 1 to 20 to spin.
-
Maybe I should've settled for the FFBC...
I guess I'll go with my customary fourteen.
-
And you're not going to get anything too great here, where ever it stops.
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd10.txt)
A dime. I bet you want to spin again.
-
Alright...how about the uncustomary twenty?
-
And ooh, 95¢ is bad, stop, stop!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd95.txt)
[color=FF0000]BONK![/color]
Army, I'm afraid this is just not your day. Crimson, you're up!
-
Meh...Pick-A-Pair being lost the other day was an omen, I guess...GP's and streaks just don't mix.
-
For my friend's birthday (which is tomorrow), I will go with #5!
-
Well, you could have always deliberately blown the sixth item up for bids, since it was almost assured that it was going to be the show's GP game. Ah well.
And Crimson, you may really love your friend... you may really love your friend now!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd100.txt)
[color=009900]dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding![/color]
$1.00! You have won $1000, and you'll get your bonus spin in a moment. Right now, though, we have to give Garvin a shot to tie you. Or two shots, technically.
-
Yay!
Now I have some money to buy a last-minute gift. ;-)
-
Let's go with Sweet #16.
-
And this isn't going to do it, a little too fast, but you get another spin.
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd35.txt)
35¢, going for 65¢.
-
#11.
-
Garvin, I'm afraid this isn't going to work, but look at it this way: you won a car in one of the games that was most set up to be lost, so be proud of that!
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/scsd5.txt)
Nice of you to leave the wheel right where we needed it, though, for Crimson. $5000 for 5¢ or 15¢, $10,000 for the $1.00, spin it!
-
Keeping in tune with the birthdays, I'll be 18 next month, so that's my lucky number. #18!
-
Well, I'm afraid it's not lucky here, Crimson. But you will be in the showcase, coming up next!

(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/showcase.txt)
CrimsonViper, you are the top winner in today's showcase! Alfonzo, you are the runner-up! Each of you will have a showcase filled with beautiful prizes to bid on; the one of you closer to the actual retail price of your own showcase without going over will win it. But if you are the winner, and are $250 or less away from the retail price of your own showcase, we will happily give you both showcases!
Now Crimson, as the top winner, you have the option of either bidding on showcase #1, or passing that to Alfonzo, and waiting for showcase #2. Now gentlemen, feast your eyes on showcase #1!
Rich: This showcase starts with a lovely living room group. The carolinachair.com Crawford living room group makes for a beautiful living arrangement in your most guest-entertaining room in the house for your afternoon tea parties and other such nonsense.
And after living... living-ing? After doing random stuff in your living room, you can take a ride in your brand new car! The Chevy Aveo SVM, it's a car, and it does car-like things. Like it can be driven, and it can be stopped, and it has doors that can be open or closed. Comes with standard features, 5-speed manual transmission, and 1.6 liter engine. And this showcase can be yours if The Price is Right!
And Crimson, are you bidding on this showcase, or are you passing it to Alfonzo?
-
I'll pass the Showcase, please.
(You know why...)
-
Well Alfie, Crimson has quite generously giving you this showcase. What would you like to bid on it?
-
$13,013. (Thirteen has become a theme for me, hasn't it? ;-) )
-
Was that even a Showcase? It was only two prizes.
And you could've spared the couple of bucks for an engine block heater.
12,222 looks reasonable for some odd reason.
-
Alright, I'll change it to $12,222.
-
I also like $12,345 :P
You're better off with your first guess
-
Fine. $13,013...FINAL ANSWER!!!
(Can't wait to read Frank's comments on THIS bid...)
-
I'd have gone with $13,333... :-P
-
I'm thinking $13,031 myself ;-)
-
(http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/price/showcase1.txt)
[color=009900]ding![/color]
Finally done, Alfie, or would you like to change your mind again? And I see that if Joe were to jump off a bridge, so would you.
Ah well. Crimson, this is your showcase!
[color=0000FF]CHOO! CHOO![/color]
Rich: This showcase features prizes delivered to our pricelss train depot, and here she comes now, loaded with prizes, and on the first car we have a beautiful fireplace screen. This fireplace screen from Oriental Furniture has a lovely black matte lacquer antique finish and is decorated with a delicate hand-painted mountain temple landscape.
And on the next flat car we have a great new television. This 50-inch widescreen high-definition-ready DLP TV with PC input from Samsung has a gorgeous picture, and can even be used like a 50-inch computer monitor.
And at the end of the train, instead of a caboose, we have a grand piano. From the Rawlings Music Company, this 6 foot 1 inch Victorian grand piano has a solid spruce soundboard, German hammers, 17-ply hard rock maple pinblock, and hardwood ribs and posts, for an exquisite piano for your very own home. And this showcase, featuring prizes delivered to our priceless train depot, can be yours if the price is right!
And Crimson, what do you bid on it?

$13,013! Trust me 8)

Interesting indeed...
I'm going to direct with my bid, and I'll bid $13,333. Let's hope for the best.

$13,014! :-P

All right, and now, to find out who has won. Is it Alfonzo? Is it CrimsonViper? We shall know in a moment. Crimson, you bid $13,333 on your showcase. And Crimson, the actual retail price of your showcase is...
$23,173, a difference of?

Well, a lot. Alfie, you must be closer than $9840 without going over in order to win your showcase. Alfie, you bid $13,013 on your showcase. And Alfie, the actual retail price of your showcase IS!
$12,880, you're over, Crimson wins!

Alfie, I'm sorry you didn't win much today. Just no luck at all with that dastardly 13 everywhere you went.

*I bet slotting has to do with Dice Game being won. Out of 16 episodes, game #5 was won in 14 of those episodes. Probably would've been lost if I put it sixth, where in 16 episodes, it was lost 12 times. Ah well.
*This is only the fourth time that the showcase winner came from the second half of the show. It's also the first time that the person who played game #4 won the showcase, so now at least one showcase winner has come out of every slot!

Thank you Frank for putting on, once again, an excellent-blitzing-less-than-one-week! show. I originally wanted to bid $22,222, but I somewhat got talked out of it (and from past experience, the Showcases were usually cheap).
Good game Alfie, and may you be luckier next time around. Try using #5s, for instance. ;-)

9 PM: Frank is on IUFB 6.
12:30 AM: Frank is done with the show.
How does that work, especially when you need three people from earlier in the show to come back for the end?
-
Another excellent show, Frank...
If you plan on offering more boots as IUFB's, I have some to recommend to you. :-P
13 just didn't seem to work for you this show, did it Alfonzo? :-?
-
Stranger was the fact that it started 5/22 at precisely midnight and ended at 1:30 Today. Hmm.. :-?
Man, Alfonzo, 13 just didn't work. :-? Just as unlucky as Leyla's EVIL case, which most of the time has super amounts or even $1,000,000, spelling doom for contestants and excitment for the banker.

Frank, that had nothing to do with it. I was determined to win that, no matter what it took. I had a decent chance of winning Penny Ante as well, as I had guessed 2.99 first. You ran into a contestant who wanted to win, and that's all there is to it.
-
Frank, great job as always! Should The Dob ever retire, they should find you to take his job...there certainly wouldn't be any budget issues caused by too many wins :-).
-
Excellent show, Frank...

Then slotting had everything to do with it :-P. If I switched Penny Ante and Dice Game, you would have still been playing the game in the fifth slot, so yeah, I'd say the fifth slot is just a lucky slot, or something. An "unwinnable" That's Too Much was won in that slot as well, several shows ago.

I can almost assure you that I will. Certain prizes are more fun to use than others, and I get a kick looking for boots :-)!

You too, huh? :lol: That's one of my favorite hobbies...
And the more outrageous, the better...
