*Showcase Winner

Comments

*There were some nice surprises in today's show. Pass the Buck debuted its new rules. In addition, the contestant won the car and $5,000! They also tried to give away a LINCOLN in the showcase.
*3 Pricing Games were won today.
*I'm torn whether I like the new rules in Pass the Buck. I'm not a fan of contestants getting free choices and the possibility of winning the car with this free pick.
*Tough Swap Meet today. I never would have thought the Serving Pieces would be that expensive.
*For the first time this season, the Secret "X" was on the bottom.
*Pass the Buck is the first pricing game to ever use exactly four grocery items.
*The $476 Board Games are currently cheapest IUFB of the season.
