Other show info

*Did they not want to give any prizes away today? They played two of the hardest games today, (Hi-Lo & Lucky $even) plus they made Squeeze Play harder than it already is! To make things worse, Punch-a-Bunch only gave away $250 in cash.
*As mentioned above, Squeeze Play was really hard. The starting price was $40,162. Doesn't that zero look out of place? Practically everyone would have removed it. But of course, the price was $4,062. Boo.
*Let's all thank Buy or Sell for saving the show from being a winless show.
*It's unfortunate that Buy or Sell is played less than Barker's Markers, even though they both seem to take the same amount of time to play.
*Is it just me, or has the first bidder of the fifth IUFB been winning a lot lately?
*If I were Ellen, I think I'd change the color of the Pontiac Aztec offered in the showcase. Not only was it green, it was an ugly green!
