Who's that mystery model filling in for Dian? Looked like she was very nervous...

I don't think I've ever seen a closer difference than three cents between products in Hole In One before. Too bad both car losses were pretty heartbreaking; Card Game's was especially ominous since it meant that a 5 or higher on her next draw would result in a bust. You can also see how the odd/even strategy on Take Two meant a loss since the target price ended in 5 and how the Moped would be the only remaining item that could be odd since washer/dryers and recliners all go together. The 5th IUFB had some pretty lousy bidding prior to the overbid signal. The second Showcase was certainly fun (there are other Beatles songs though that feature "money" though), although I thought that as soon as Johnny said "American Pie", I thought the car would be a Chevy and not a Ford.
