| COMMENTS *Not too good an episode, though still far from awful. *Secret "X" was, believe it or not, the highlight. Michael might not have been particularly bright, but he was fun, buying into the audience member yelling that the X was in the middle, and him telling Bob "It's always in the middle!" And it was in the middle! *Michael put 2 of the 3 Xs on the board as plus signs. *Besides Michael, Kimberly was the only other interesting contestant, and she didn't get up on stage. A shame, since she kept making good bids. *What's zig? The Cold-Eeze that came with the second item up for bids had zig... whatever zig is. *The prize description for 2 for the Price of 1 used the Second Thoughts cue, oddly, instead of a car cue. *Wow, that was one heck of an expensive car for 2 for the Price of 1... usually only offers the cheapest of cars! |
