COMMENTS:

*Ethel helped make the show!  She was a great fun contestant, who debunked some Eskimo myths (such as Eskimos not really rubbing noses, even though she did rub noses with Bob!).  She also said she's never known anyone who's ever lived in an igloo... silly Eskimo stories.
*Besides Ethel, David and Ashley were fun contestants.  David made an $18 bid for his just having turned 18 years old.
*A rare occurance of each contestant in contestants' row bidding $1 over the previous bidder.  Bob even knew not to say it's never happened before!
*Ashley, had a Happy Gilmore hat, to which Bob said his entire movie career was on the hat.
*3 car games played for cars, and all 3 won!  Too bad all 3 were for rather cheap cars.
*Only one choice in Money Game was above 65... you never see that anymore.
*Boy, was the second bag in It's in the Bag tough!  Even back then, they didn't always make the first two bags extremely obvious, apparently!
*We had a full credit roll today!
