| COMMENTS *Good show today, with plenty of likable contestants to go around. *Candice was a very likable (and very, very attractive) contestant, who almost seemed like a child filled with glee playing Any Number! Looked like Christmas from just her sheer glee! *Gene wasn't the brightest contestant, but kept happy the whole time. "That ain't the first time!" was his reaction when Bob told him he'd gone broke in Lucky $even! *Poor Anne... another good contestant, keeping $5050, when she could've won $10,000. *Helen had gone over to smack Norman, all the way from her red podium to his green podium, after he $1ed her. Of course, she bid perfectly anyway. *Kristi wasn't particularly exciting, but it was still nice seeing her play Check-Out so nicely! *Two of the items up for bids came with a small prize. It's rare enough for even one to come with a small prize, let alone two! *For heaven-knows-why, Double Prices was played in the middle of the stage, rather than at the big doors. The prize was behind the big doors, as normal. As far as I know, the board was just out in the open in the middle of the stage. VERY bizarre where Bob and the contestant stop before the prize is revealed! *What the heck made Helen's showcase so expensive?! |
