Nah, I think the guy that used each of his pennies on the fifth grocery product tops this one. LOL!
All joking aside, LiteBulb, I think I've gotta agree here. While perfection would be in a class of its own, when one is uncertain of the prices, you really can't do much better than this. I have to check on the second winner; I think what may have been better for Lisa IMO would have been to take a chance on the Beats after eliminating one. If she's right, then she might have had a better chance at $25,000. If she's wrong but gets it the second time then she'd still head to the 4th stage with 2 pennies. If she eliminated one and got to $6,000 with 4 pennies that may have been significant. Of course the plates were not easy to figure out.
I'd give it an A-, but if you'd ask me in a year, I might say it's an A. Lisa played the game better than pretty much everyone else in its short history, maybe except for the first winner. It's easy to comment on it than to play the game. If it's me, I'd find a way to wipeout on TTP. I guess that would be impossible outright. The worst someone could do would be to miss the first one, default to the second stage, miss that, get the freebie, and then blow $3,000 on the third (thanks to 9821 and tris, and tpir04 for clarity; was not 100% sure)
I had to laugh a little when they almost went to commercial break before Drew had to confirm that Lisa was quitting with $12,000. I guess he had to ask but I don't think it would've been a big deal if he didn't. Lisa wasn't blowing $12,000
