Not much special about this show since no cars were won. But the prizes and games were nice, the contestants were interesting, and a funny moment in Plinko.
Double Prices: Ugh. $10,985 looked more logical than $12,139, even though the car was pretty loaded. They should have played a regular car game for such a pricey car, like One Away or Deluxe Dice Game.
Plinko: Very strange, yet funny, playing. Four chips land in 0, two chips get stuck--one twice--and to top it off, the last chip lands in $5,000. Nevertheless, I liked Judy and was glad she won some money, let alone $5,000.
Danger Price: Relatively easy. Dinettes tend to be a bit pricey.
Showcases: Even though the other showcase contained a Corvette, I preferred the first showcase better.
Just how many microwave ranges were offered during this time period? Seems like there was one offered in every show, both nighttime and daytime.
*Sigh* And another bad bid on a Corvette showcase. Did anyone ever win a Corvette in this version?
Overall, an OK show.
