CSS -- Chatroom Showcase Showoff / CSS Results for 04/25/2024 (Game 138)
« Last post by Wayoshi on Today at 12:05:06 PM »
We just had that Bali as 11264 in a Pushover, but given this ARP and the Camry it went down by a few hundred here. Unfortunate and you can see all the 42/43k bids on the close over. Meanwhile SC1 was even more with another five-digit trip in Cabo, bigger car and more than $3000 in bikes.

Beef ends up with a hard DSW after two blown DSWs.

Out In Left Field / Re: Deal Or No Deal Island
« Last post by SeaBreeze341 on Yesterday at 10:28:36 PM »
Is anyone else still watching? I am enjoying the show for what it is, I know the challenges are not crazy hard but I like the strategizing that is involved. Last nights game of DOND was crazy with the drama and if you trust your case to take you that far why did he take the deal at the end and go home?! I am personally happy Rob is still alive

I catch it when I can.  Recently when it's been on live?  Nope.  Like most shows, it's something I have to binge (prior to the finale).

I probably forgo everything if Rob was out early on.  Couldn't agree more about him there.  If there's actually a future, he's not going to be part of it, but when you watch the season in full, it helps toward one's interest in seeing what's next.
