GEORGE: Three wonderful trips to New York, Washington and Atlanta! (1/2 Off Cue) (Rachel models New York, Amber models Washington and Gwendolyn models Atlanta) (cheers and applause) First, you and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to New York City for a six-night stay at the Manhattan Grand Hotel. Includes daily continental breakfast, and it's within easy distance of Broadway, Central Park, the Empire State Building, and many of the Big Apple's other fine attractions! Second, you and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, where you'll have a six-night stay at the Congressional Grand Hotel. Within easy distance of the National Zoo, the White House, the Smithsonian Museums and other fine attractions in the nation's capital; continental breakfast included. And finally, you and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Atlanta for a six-night stay at the Southern Grand Hotel. Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, and within easy walking distance of Atlanta's finest attractions, and we've included a rental car and a pass to Six Flags Over Georgia. And there they are, Teddy!
Thanks, ladies! Now wpghi5, you are going to play a challenging but fun game called Buy or Sell.

NEW YORK

WASHINGTON
$3110
ATLANTA
Now, you see these prices? None of them are correct. They're either over or under the actual retail price. What I want you to do is buy the trips that are underpriced, and sell the ones that are overpriced. You do this successfully, and you win all three trips, plus any money you've accumulated when the game ends. Look over each price carefully, and then tell me which ones you're going to buy and sell.
Very well, your decisions have been made, so let's see how you did. You decided to buy New York. What is the actual retail price? $6,310, so you made $500.

You've won all three trips and $1,900 in cash! Congratulations, and we'll see you at the Big Wheel later on. Now, I'm presenting to you moment #10, as we celebrate my tenth show. It was from my debut episode, and I was planning to give away a Cadillac in Golden Road, but something went terribly wrong. Take a look and find out why.
(Episode 1: Golden Road Wipeout)
Now, there are three numbers in the price of the camcorder, and as you can see, the last two numbers are 9 and 5. Is the first number a 7 or a 5?
TRIVIA TRAP: Its a 5.
All right, if I lift the cover off and it is a 5, we move on to New York. Are we going there?
BUZZ!/Losing Horns
Damn it! This is not the way I wanted my first show to begin. I wanted us to get to the car at least, and the game ends here!
AUDIENCE: Awww!
I'm so sorry, buddy, it was a 7. But hopefully, the wheel will make up for your unfortunate wipeout, and you did win a moped. We'll try to find a winner after this!
We'll have another game, and more memories, after this.
We now have $3695 from holein1isawesome...

GEORGE: Well, it's not just for one or two, but how about three new cars? (Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour) (Rachel models a Mitsubishi Lancer in Door #1, Gwendolyn models a Ford Focus in Door #2, and Amber models a Honda Civic in Door #3) (cheers and applause) First, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer comes with standard features, plus AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and engine block heater. Second, the 2012 Ford Focus comes with standard features, plus AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer and SiriusXM satellite radio, backup camera and engine block heater. And finally, the 2012 Honda Civic comes with standard features, plus AM/FM/CD stereo with SiriusXM satellite radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel, backup camera and engine block heater. And there they are, Teddy!
Thanks, ladies! Now Flerbert419, I would like to give you all three of these cars, and I will if you tell me something about them.

LANCER

FOCUS

As you can see, we have the Lancer at $19,285, then we have the Focus at $18,320, and finally, we have the Civic at $16,540. But one of these prices is wrong. You tell me the one wrong price, you win all three cars. Which one is it?
