During the first bids, Wayne bid $1,200, then Lindsey bid $1. Bob noticed that $1,200 was a frozen bid, so he made Wayne bid again. He bid $1,201, then Lindsey bid $1,202, causing an overbid. Lindsey would have won had she stuck with her $1 bid.

*Showcase Winner

Comments

*Three Pricing Games were won today - the last three Pricing Games of the day.
*Credit Card: Wow! Picking the bottom three prizes (dishwasher, stemware, vacuum) would have resulted in a loss today.
*Plinko: This was the thirtieth time this season a plinko chip landed in $0.
*Now or Then: Tricky using the Brut, a product currently being used on the show, as a then price. Besides that, it was pretty simple.
*There was a great interaction between Bobm Wayne and his wife. Before the second IUFB, Bob commented that Wayne's wife (Joyce) had already decided what they were going to be with their winnings and she was going to be very upset if he didn't win. Then, before the last IUFB, when Wayne was still in Contestant's Row, Bob made Joyce tell Wayne that she wasn't going to be upset with him or leave him if he didn't win.
*So far in the month of February 11 out of 18 (61%) episodes featured a Grocery Game with no cars or cash in it. In January, 9 out of 22 (41%) episodes featured these types of games. That's a pretty big increase in play.
