Other show info

*Golden Road reurns with a vengence: A win and a minor set change! The last time Golden Road was won was October 6th, 1999. The set change? The thing that Bob pulls down to reveal the price of the prizes are now green, blue and red. . It's nothing major, but it's still a set change.
*What pricing game, excluding Three Strikes and Fortune Hunter has now spent the longest time without being played? Poor old Shell Game, which was last played on October 30th.
*Poor David was so confused today. First in Range Game, he tried to press the red button to START the range finder. Then, he got upset that he spun $0.90 on the big wheel thinking that you needed a $1.00 to win or that you had to spin twice. Finally, after seeing showcase #2, he had to ask Bob what he was supposed to bid on!
*During IUFB #2, Alberta didn't know what she was bidding because she was too busy showing Bob a picture of her grandchild. So Rod simply described the prize to her as a "comfy love seat". She then bid $5,000, prompting Bob to say "It's not that comfy".
*Switch? IS the easiest "quicky" pricing game... and the stats prove it. It's 10-1 this year!
