COMMENTS:
The obvious peak of the show was when Crazy won his Escalade with two strikes on the board, and he had those two strikes for three consecutive turns. Perhaps the most exciting win in the history of the show.
This was the second three-car episode in as many shows, a habit the producer has become accustomed to.
Gatorman got a truly tough setup in Shopping Spree. The dinette, maybe the most expensive-sounding prize, turned out to be the least expensive. Add to that, the target price was the absolute highest possible.
Blissey's playing of 10 Chances has to be the most excruciating ever for a player who knew the zero rule. Thankfully, someone in the audience shouted out the correct price almost in the nick of time.
