*Showcase Winner

Comments

*Once again, tonight's episode was excellent. There was possibility of big wins and two happened: The $40,000 win in Plinko and the Corvette Showcase being won. The contestants were also great.
*Double Prices was the only Pricing Game that was fully won tonight. However, with $40,000 being won in Plinko, it definitely didn't feel like a 1/6 show.
*Temptation: This was a nice surprise to see it played. The car was fairly easy to win too, especially since the contestant didn't have to decide between 0 and 5 for the last digit in the price of the car.
*Make Your Move: Another nice surprise. Tonight's playing was basically a 50:50 crapshoot. The wall unit was either $9,217 or $7,850.
*It's in the Bag: Why did the audience boo when Nestor picked the pain reliever for the $2,000 Bag? What else could have been $9.99? The dressing? Anyways, tonight's playing was pretty difficult, especially for the $4,000 bag. The dressing or the melba snack could have been $2.09.
*Lucky Seven: Played Fifth? That was shocking! And too bad: A contestant finally chooses 2 for the last digit in the price of the car. Of course, this time it wasn't 2.
*Double Prices: As usual, it was a crapshoot tonight. At least it saved us from a winless show.
*For the third straight time in the armed forced primetime specials, contestant #9 won their way up on stage to play a Pricing Game!
*They used Clock Game's graphic to display the $1,000 win in the first Showcase Showdown. Weird.
