THE BAD NEWS:

3X: With that wipeout, it was quite a letdown seeing that this might be the last playing of Strikes this season...Sure was reminiscent from the one with the Ferrari from S41's Big Money Week, but not as difficult, though. Well, at least Drew didn't force Juan to touch the Lexus after that loss. And Juan got a Sonic in the end, so that's something.

CoG: Once again, the whole "Trip-Going, Not A Trip-Coming" strategy claims another victim.

TTM: If Kathy could've gone one more...

THE GOOD NEWS:

DX: Easy win by Jessica!

Bonus Game: Perfection by Sydney!

OWP: Could've gone either way...Still, a good win by Kelly!

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Despite no car game wins, this was a decent show today. Although, I doubt there was any (if, at all) need for Drew breaking out a piece of George's photo album. Nevertheless, I was surprised they manage to bring out 3X after that...Even though, it was just some pretty bad luck for Juan and not a devious setup.

[TinoStar11]

Good to see 3X for probably the last time this season.
When The start of the show went longer than usual , the instant I saw 3X , something Told me the game play wasn't last very long on that.

[Swingbatta0]

Well, at least Drew didn't force Juan to touch the Lexus after that loss.

Not that it's a big deal or anything.

My two cents:

3 Strikes: Tough luck there. (however, it's not a wipeout just because no numbers were lit up; it can only be a wipeout if, in the unlikely event, the first 3 draws are all strikes) But at least Juan redeemed himself in the Showcase!
Coming or Going: Tough break. 'Nuff said.
Double Cross: Good win to get us back on our feet.
Bonus Game: PERFECT GAME! Definitely makes up for 3 Strikes.
That's Too Much: SO close! I would've gone one more if I were in her shoes.
One Wrong Price: Glad to see Kelly get out of Bidder's Row after being there all day. And this setup was a no-brainer. No way that home bar could be over $4K. Great win!

Showcases: Both Showcases were equally okay, so long as Juan won to make up for that 3 Strikes loss.

Not as good a show as yesterday, but still okay.

Not a true wipeout in theory, because it's not 3 straight strikes on the first 3 draws.

[SuperSweeper]

The "George's picture" moment was a nice throwback to the days of Bob and Johnny/Rod.  I wish that we could have more moments like that.

They usually don't add too many options to the cars on the show nowadays, so it was a nice change of pace to have a LOADED Lexus - even if it was very hard to win.
