Did the Hyundai Elantra go up since the last time one was offered or is it more than I remember? I swear it was most recently $24,xxx. Here I was thinking Christopher one when the price was revealed and I just looked at the end to see he was right about the 8 and wondered why the buzzer sounded until I saw it was $25,378.

[ooboh]

The Lion's Share really is Press Your Luck on crack, huh?

[dconnary]

Great win in Lion's Share! I would have bailed also.

[Wayoshi]

Huh, well it's nice that the Porsche has been waiting in door 3 all this time (wonder about the boat now...). Was expecting a car in the 50s though, not essentially equivalent to the big prize.

I checked this after the playing, it was 24345 last Monday in Bee, but note that there were three options today. They wanted underpricing to occur.

Bingo!

I'm just glad the car was behind Door #3. It would just set a bad precedent for the show to show pictures of cars. It's just cooler to see it up close and personal and have the contestant interact with it.

The more I see The Lion's Share, the less I like it...and I wasn't much a fan of the game in the beginning.

[TPIR98665]

Some terrible luck in Dice...3's are terrible in that game..When I saw the two small 3's I figured she had it...but the deuce was indeed wild

Debra clearly doesn't sand or organize very often.  Terrible play on two gimmies.  But WOW. Nice pick and nice $100k car win and DOUBLE WOW if she would have got for it and got the $100K too. 

Oh great.  A flight attendant wins a trip! .

Pretty fun show

[richardjm92]

Well, can't imagine coughing up a near-$100K Porsche is going to do much wonders for the budget the rest of the season.

isn't it the point of mgm being the sponsor to give the show the prize?

[Mewtwo]

This one was wild.

A Dice Game that was fairly set up sunk by the ONE roll that could have done so.  3s and 4s are absolute gimmes.  The 5 in the first spot you could realistically deduce to go against the odds with a 4.  But that damn 2...

Lion's Share - oof.  Going for it even down to the last ball is +EV unless you already have $200,000 locked up, no?

Stack...god I hate this game.  The obvious play if you get all 3 right is to take the last three digits, and then a setup like this the player would still lose because it's a coin flip between 4 and 5.  I feel like this game deserves more Three Strikes-esque cars for how rarely it's won.

[sideshowPA]

Question about the car reveal in Lion's Share.
Do we believe the car is there at the start of the game?
Or, is it established via the ball draw that a car is in play, at which a stopdown to get the nice car hanging around to be placed behind the door occurs?

I would have to assume its there the whole time, why rush/have a stop down to quickly get the car in the door and waste more time than it already takes? Maybe once the ball is in the chamber they push it behind the door since it takes time to get the contestant out, but I can't see that happening
