Host: Bob Barker
8p Saturday: CBS |
It's the young people's
voting edition of the million dollar spectacular! I have no clue
what that means, except as an excuse to show signs like 'Bob - 4
More Years' 'A Car in Every Garage' 'Beware of El Cheapo' and 'Say
no To Double Overbids'. Annie Lee, Rafael Flores, Noah Silverman
and Jillian Bitt really don't care, because they are bidding on a
new 'Lord of the Rings' Pinball Machine. The machine, a whopping
$4,495, goes to Jillian - and so could A NEW CORVETTE! She gets
the second number right - but she loses $6 on the next two numbers
and the needs to get the last number perfect. She doesn't, and
loses out on the $54,367 car.
Jillian's loss could be Brittney Logan's gain, as she is the first
person to bid on a pair of gold watches. Annie wins the $4,045
watches - and she can buy some batteries for them with $16,000 in
cash! Annie uses Alavert, Citracal, Campbell's Soup, Chips Ahoy
Cookies, Polident and plant food - and she says that the cookies
are 55 cents, $1.19 is the soup, The Alavert is $12.99, The
Citracal is $10,89 and the Polident is $5.59. She gets the first 2
right - and then she quits at $2,000. It's a good thing, because
she mixes up the Citracal and the Alavert in the wrong spots (the
Polident in the last spot was right).
Jenna McGuire feels that she is in the right spot - Contestant's
Row, as she starts off the bidding on a home gym. The right price
on it is $2,500 - which is exactly what Jenna bids! As a result
(since it's primetime), she wins $1,000 - and she can use the
money to gas up A NEW JEEP!!!! Jenna plays Pathfinder - and she
gets the first two numbers right off the bat en route to winning
the $22,895 car! She also gets into the Showcase - but doesn't win
the $1,000, so we have no bonus million dollar spin...yet...
Will Alaa Isa get the Million Dollar spin? He could be if he wins
an air hockey table, but Rafael wins the $2,495 table. He'll be
playing the Range Game for a plasma TV and Entertainment Center -
and he nails it for the $11,696 win!
Nicholas Siebert is the next person to come on down - and some
water sports equipment is the next prize to be offered. Alaa wins
the $3,330 equipment - and he can store it in the back of A NEW
TRUCK!!! He doesn't have to win the truck, though, he can quit and
take a grandfather clock worth $3,330, a gas barbecue worth
$4,414, a music system worth $1,199 and a diamond pendant worth
$5,550 as he plays Temptation. Alaa is apparently playing a
different game than the rest of us, as he is thrilled that he lit
up the numbers - unaware that he's not necessarily right. He comes
back to reality and goes on with his guess of $23,490 - but
reality comes crashing down as the car is $23,415 and he wins
nothing.
We need one more player - and that would be Allison Tobika. She
goes after a game table with chairs - and she watches Britney win
the $3,500 prize. She can win a new drumset ($5,879) and an
all-terrain vehicle ($4,292) - if she knows whether the prices
should be switched. She switches the prices - and she's right.
She's also right on the wheel with a score of 85 cents.
This makes the Showcase even more important, since the winner will
also get a spin on the Million Dollar wheel. The key to spinning
the wheel could be with a new computer, a trip to Washington DC.,
and a CADILLAC SUV, all things helping you to go vote. That is the
first Showcase, and Jenna, the top winner, keeps it, bidding
$55,000. Britney gets a sauna, a swimming pool, and a cabin
cruiser - and she bids $64,000 on it.
Who wins? Britney's showcase is worth $88,719 - off by $24,719.
Jenna's Showcase is...$65,497, off by $10,497. She also gets to
spin for a million dollars, and she is....not even close. Still
she is the big winner of the day as she takes home $91,971 worth
of income tax claims.
