This is the first time I can remember that someone picked the first number in Stack the Deck. Such terrible strategy.

Historically, picking the first number when you're given a free number in a price is always bad. 2 for the Price of 1 and especially Add 'em Up are a couple of good examples.

Nice "come from behind" win in Money Game.

Stack The Deck! One of my favorite games! She asked for the first digit? Oh well.

Good show.  Lots of wins. But bad Double Over...

Diana had the auto IUFB win when everybody $1'd each other.. but why oh why take the first number in Stack...
My taping history:

1 Bob taping somewhere around 1986
30 Drew tapings starting February 5th 2024 ending October 9, 2025
My 'Come on Down' moment occurred on October 8th 2025 (1284L).  Air date of February 5th 2026. Two years exactly from my first taping.

Nice recovery by Rick in Money Game after missing on the first two guesses, followed by a fairly easy Do the Math.

I thought the first two SPs were the most difficult in Bonus Game. Pretty tough Balance Game since I think most would've went with $9,000 for the bags.

Diana didn't help herself choosing the first digit in Stack, but I can't imagine how many would've won anyway with that price.

Ugh, a double overbid to end the show. I wonder what the Mardi Gras themed show will bring us.
