Instead of acting like a piggyback ride as he is now, Dylan could drive home in a $20,100 2012 Hyundai Tucson GL FWD (Std., FMats, CMat, Tray)(Curtain #3) playing The New Car Pong.

Why is this new game suddenly a little different? First, instead of five choices to a question, there are four. Secondly, the ball-bouncing part's now being played against the clock w/ a minimum of five seconds on it; only one ball can be bounced at a time. For each correct answer he selects, five seconds will be added to his timer for a potential :20. After the Q's finished, he can stop w/ $100 per second or try for the automobile. BTW, Wayne manages to get a ball into the South cup & another one in that all-important CAR cup.

Prompt: Sodas introduced before the new millennium
Choices: Diet Pepsi, Coke Zero, TAB & Fresca

#3- Dining room w/ Dine With 9 one-night private chef ($6,119)

Ricardo, who's dressed as a ZONK refrigerator, gets a Technical ZONK from Jonathan after not pulling out a purple plastic egg for that $500 twitter wad. Pamela does win $100 from Tiffany after getting out a remote control (since she's dressed as a TV).
