1233: For objectively one of the easier games on the show, there seems to be quite a bit of uncertainty in some of these guesses.


{calls sideshowPA over to the board}


Remember at the start of the show, we called for superfans of the show. Surely veterans like yourselves wouldn't fall for any tricks or traps, right?  ;-)

Anyways let's see how this goes. Now, was sideshow's guess of $22 on the spoons correct?



{buzz}

Up the board we go!




{about 6 seconds of wonderful yodeling later}
{ding}





{reveals price}



Looks like all of you guys are quite particular about your serving spoons. Now, is the price of the script $32?



{buzz}

Commence the yodeling!




{another 5 seconds of nervous yodeling}
{ding}




{reveals price}



Yeesh, quite close to the precipice. Close enough to see a couple of your fellow players already at the bottom of the ravine.

Now, we need the price of this poker set to be $42 in the worst possible way. Is it!?!




...





{buzz}

Unless the set is $41 or $43, it's been nice knowing ya, sideshow. Start it up!



...






{half a second of frightened yodeling...followed by a loud shriek fading away and a crash in the distance}



{buzz}



{reveals price}



I wish I could just ask you for a dollar to cover the difference, but sadly there's nothing I can do for ya.

sideshow joins pathfinder20 and Nate Powalie in the pit, gamesurf ends up close enough to be suspected of pushing them off and the other 3 take in the scenery from a safe distance.

4 players remain, 4 games remain, 4 more fun coming up after this line break.

1233: Here we are with the final 4 players fighting it out.

With the last game, I don't know to think. I The producer definitely knew what they did, but one of the show's most known patterns would still win.

Alas, we move on.

...actually, we don't move at all. The next prize comes to us, and there it is!!!



Announcer: It's a BRAND NEW CAR!!!





It's the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SE that comes with all the standard equipment as well as a 2.0L turbo transmission, hood deflector, trunk liners and hood deflector. The Volkswagen Atlas!!






{starts handing dollar bills to players while they cheer for the car}

1233: Throwing bills around like I'm at the club, at least that's what I think happens at clubs.

Anywho, you guys are going to play Lucky Seven for the Volkswagen. Well, 3 of you will at least.

geniusinmath, for winning Bonkers on your first try earlier, I'll give you another dollar to play with for 8 in total.

{claps from other contestants}

Otherwise, its the L7 you all hopefully love. Let's show you guys the first number in the price.




Now, please give me your guess for only the second number and we'll go from there.

To avoid too long of a playing, you will have until Tuesday night and I'll try to update regularly (should have been slotted 6th  :lol:)

Best of luck!!

Hm. I'll go 1, I guess?

Not editing my previous post (and probably not changing my guess), but just to make sure:

It's the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SE that comes with all the standard equipment as well as a 2.0L turbo transmission, hood deflector, trunk liners and hood deflector.

Are there actually two hood deflectors, or was one of those supposed to be something else?

That's my bad, after rechecking everything, the correct description is as follows:

It's the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SE that comes with all the standard equipment as well as a 2.0L turbo transmission, hood deflector, trunk liners and cargo box carrier. The Volkswagen Atlas!!

I will allow a guess change with the new info, thank you for pointing out the error.

I have no idea what an Atlas goes for, but given the slightly troll-ish setup of the last game, and the fact that 9821 seems to think it's not going to reach the mid 40's... I'm going to shamelessly crib off of him and say 1.

i should have changed my bid to 9 while i had the chance

I'll stick with 1, but that does give me a little more clarity.

1233: Nobody is dead in the water after the second number. Let's have some guesses for the third.

I'll give you until tomorrow afternoon, but you've all been timely, thanks for that.
