I laughed at how Veronica and Drew slowly walked towards each other.
Did anyone noticed that Tarrah said "Higher, Bob" when she was guessing on the lotion, but then corrected herself to say "Lower, Drew" for the other guess?
I'm also surprised that Tarrah didn't bail out with $4,000 when she had the chance. But I don't blame her one bit for bailing with $3,000, a nice chunk of change, even though the Honda Civic is a very nice car.
Yeah, Secret X was played for the first time in over two months, and it was played in the first half of the show for the first time this season!
Did anyone notice that the dollar sign on the $10 choice and the correct answer cards for the mop was not in the Kingpin font like the other choice cards, but rather the old Swiss font?
Poor Monique, she put such enthusiasm into asking the almighty sound effects lady and she was so close to changing the correct four and winning, but the peanut gallery talked her out of it.
Okay, Joseph probably joins James from the show that aired on November 13, 2007 on the "worst contestant" list this season. He made totally inappropriate bids and made a insanely stupid bid of $2 million, which is probably the first 7-digit bid on the show ever. One great point is that Drew accepted that large with "two million you want, you got it." bid and moved on instead of saying "that can only go up to $9,999."
Holy smokes, Step Up played in the second half for the first time this season!
I seriously thought Joseph would make another $-69 bid for the last bidding round, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually thought of going through with it.
Anyone else worried that Step Up is going to be Super Savered eventually? Today is the second time in a row where Drew told the contestant to pick out the least expensive remaining prize on the second pick. ...
Something tells me that the producers told Drew, when he was rehearsing this game, that the contestant should ideally pick the least expensive prize out of the unrevealed ones each turn. Bob always said "pick out something a little more expensive than the prize you just picked" to instruct contestants. In a way, telling contestants to "pick the least expensive prize remaining" makes the game easier to win to a degree, since they would ideally observe the prizes and make an educated decision. If they don't pick the least expensive prize and pick a more expensive prize off the bat, they would hear groans from the audience and try to pick something to net them both prizes, $500 and bail out right there. If the contestant wipes out or loses later in the game, then I would probably agree with you, although the audience would probably do a heck of a job to talk them out of picking that prize. It would be harder to do that if Roger sets the game up with difficult prizes, where a loss is inevitable. Although, I think Drew should point out all the rules of the game at the start and clarify them to the contestant as they go along, like Bob did.
