Things have been pretty stale over at Mimi's establishment. No new customers in a while. So undoubtedly when she sees Jessica sitting at the blue podium like a bump on a log, it gets her salivating. While the guest list at the First Four Midday Revue may be getting a bit of a refresher if Jessica can't correctly utilize the last bid advantage, you can rest assured the entertainment and menu will be as stale as ever.

When the difference in the first showcase reveal is only $483, then you know good things are coming.  Great bid by Alyssa.

The Cover Up price of $23,319 was pretty difficult.  Of course, if he had used sound strategy along the way he could have overcome it. 

[MrRoc]

I must say, the showcases were the highlight of the whole show. Great bids by both contestants. Take that, Greco

[GR WHAMMY]

 
yay, only two this season

[leafsfan17]

Nice DSW today! let's hope we see some more of those before the season ends.

[FPGWillyT]

Today's showcase reveal makes the $0 reveal look like the best thing ever.

I'm not asking for a Bob-reveal, but any and I mean ANY OTHER GAME SHOW HOST, DeCarlo, could have made that reveal today better.

[Wayoshi]

It did look like general confusion - Georgia thought she had still won. I'm wondering if editing was done.

[heelsrule1988]

Any Number was flat-out obliterated... excellent job by Georgia!

BEST CONTESTANT OF THE DAY: Vanessa
SHOW GRADE: 2

[Macsen]

Not late to the party. Here's my recap.

[clemsonfight]

It did look like general confusion - Georgia thought she had still won. I'm wondering if editing was done.

It looked to me like as soon as Drew said "twenty five thousand" before even finishing the price, they both assumed Georgia had won.

[AntmanB]

Any Number can be a tough game to win sometimes. Glad Georgia was  able to Dominate.

Great job by alyssa! On her 18th Birthday no Less!

[Macsen]

Does that make Alyssa the youngest DSW in history?

[Mallory16]

Was anyone else really bothered by the zero gravity ride being for only one person?  I mean, seriously... a trip for you and a guest, yet one of you isn't allowed on the zero gravity ride?  The show shouldn't offer prizes like that if they're not willing to spring for both people to get to ride!  That just seemed cheap on the show's part.  Really shouldn't offer the zero gravity ride in the first place if they're not going to pay for both people to get to enjoy it.

[Off_trak]

I thought that was a little odd, as well. Similar to yesterday's groceries for a year, for one person. Budget constraints, I guess.

I wonder if these are further examples of the production staff "editing" the prizes are the show is in progress, like with the Showcase the other day?

[Kev347]

After doing some research after the show, we concluded that that Zero Gravity ride is in fact $4,950 per person. If you make that showcase 29971 (which you would do by adding $4,950 to it for the other person), then you're in danger of giving away the car because the trip showcase is now going to be garfed so much. And we can never give away that car so, sorry, only one person gets to go on the Zero Gravity ride. Glad that rebounded in their faces today, haha. That showcase may have been my favorite segment of the season (although Drew, as stated before, did a pretty bad job revealing it). The setups today were just out of this world evil (and Greco, please never do 23319 or anything like that in Cover Up ever again) all show long, and so it really was amazing to see the budget continue to go even further under with that ending. And to have the other contestant be so close too made for an exciting finish, although there looked to be some confusion - she honestly thought, even after Melissa's showcase was revealed to be closer than hers, that she won. Still, just awesome all around. Also, the best kind of DSWs are when they DSW on a crappy showcase and steal a vehicle from the other person's showcase, like today.

On a lineup related note, the ONLY 3 OR 4 prize game we played all week long is Eazy as 123 on Wednesday (usually we play up to 4 or 5 3 and 4 prize games in a week.) That is just bad and I hope that's not going to continue to be a trend.
