TPiR: As of right now, Drew's wearing that new sling from the start of the '12 episode tapings until further notice (this is presumably the first show that was taped this year).

And today's First Four peeps are Celeste Green, Warren Birch, Alyssa Vance & James Peebles & the first IUFB of the week's the smaller Beachcomber Hot Tub (Rachel at Door #3)("Dance" by Big Sean).

James: $1,200/Alyssa: $3,800/Warren: $1,201/Celeste: $2.5K

Alyssa, a Northern Arizona University student from Claremont, CA who's an aspiring Special Education teacher, wins the $3,995 spa & plays Super Squeeze Play for the Summerset kitchen island w/ a year's worth of Omaha Steaks stuff (Manuela at Door #2)("Blackout" by Breathe Carolina). Board:

114926

She removes the four, but $11,926 is slightly too much for that. ARP: $11,426.

Called fifth by George is Lu Ann Gourley & the second GUFB's an iPod package w/ two pairs of Dr. Dre headphones & a speaker dock (Rachel in the clam)("Music Sounds Better With U" by Big Time Rush featuring Mann).

James: $1,600/LU ANN: $842/Warren: $1,200/Celeste: $1,175

ARP: $917

Teacher Lu Ann plays Lucky $even for the Dodge Journey (Std., Prot)(Rachel)(MDS theme by Michael Karp). She starts off by guessing 4, which will cost her two bucks. Secondly, she plays it safe by saying 5...

$ 2 2 , 1 _ _

...good thing she didn't go any higher than that. Knowing that she has to pull a Taylor Randall in order to win this car, she then goes as high as you can possibly go on a digit w/ 9...

$ 2 2 , 1 5 9

...but that's the last number, not the fourth.

Mattison Behr occupies the blue podium third & PUFB three's a trio of Michele watches (ceiling)("In the Dark" by Dev).

James: $1,001/MATTISON: $3,900 (STAGE WILLY)/Warren: $800/Celeste: $1K

ARP: $1,075

James plays the Race Game for the Panasonic 3-D plasma HDTV (Rachel), the Honda CRF-100F motorcycle (Manuela & Rachel), a 22 cubic-foot, stainless-steel refrigerator (Amber & Manuela) & Coach accessories (Amber)("Give Me Everything" by Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Lauren Bennett).

TAGS: $744, $1,999, $2,880 & $3,299

FIRST TRY:

TV: $2,880
Motorcycle: $3,299
Fridge: $1,999
Accessories: $744

TWO RIGHT- :25 LEFT

He then WASTES the rest of his time on switching his guesses for the fridge & the accessories...& LOSES EVERYTHING (those were the two he had right the first time).

SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Lu Ann: $.65
James: $.95
Alyssa: 75 + 30 = OVER BY A NICKEL

The announcer next needs Marie Collatin & the fourth PUFB's a hayneedle.com day bed (Manuela at Door #3)("Heartbeat" by Fray).

MARIE: $600/Mattison: $900/Warren: $601/Celeste: $850

Mattison from around Pasadena just won the $500 wad! He could then add $10K to those five bills playing a $5.5 version of the Grand Game. The day's groceries ("Someone Like You" by Adele) are the smaller jar of Francesco Rinaldi Pasta Sauce, the Udderly Smooth Udder Cream, a 60-count container of Schiff Sustenex Vitamin Gummies, several navy blue cocktail napkins, the four-can pack of Switch Orange Tangerine Carbonated Juice & that Claim Jumper Frozen Apple Cobbler.

1. Napkins (huh?)- $2.95 ($10)
2. Sauce- $1.99 ($100)
3. Juice- $3.59 ($1K)
FOR $10K: WIN W/ THE CREAM! ($4.99)(Cobbler: $6.09)

He's running all over the turntable (& even did so late in this playing)!

Next's a likely not-so-hyper Nicholas Kalogriopolous & a trio of those Breville appliances make up the next IUFB (Manuela behind splitting sign)("Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson).

Marie: BUCK/NICHOLAS: $750/Warren: $600/Celeste: $850

Celeste's the second $500 one-bid bonus winner in a row! And then she plays Pathfinder for the Ford Focus SE (truck/van/convertible cue by Edd Kalehoff)(Amber at Door #3). Board:

(3)(1)(5)(2)(4)
(0)(4)(9)(7)(3)
(2)(8)(1)(6)(8)
(9)(5)(7)(4)(0)
(6)(2)(3)(9)(2)

The Crucial SPs (Manuela)("Tonight is The Night" by Outasight):

Grill basket: $33 or $50?
Insulated wine tote: $34 or $56?
Cupcake press: $30 or $45?

First Turn:
1. 7

Second Turn:
1. Wine tote's $34
2. 8

Third Turn:
1. Basket's $33

FINAL TURN:
1. Cupcake maker's $45

Well, don't pay any attention to all of that (save for the wine tote)- the poorly-described $19,768 Focus SE has been AWARDED VIA A TECHNICAL WIN DUE TO THE BAD COPY FOR IT for the second time in a row! However, because the technicality wasn't announced until the start of the credits, that segment will be the only time you'll see that Focus on the air today & Celeste won't be spinning The Big Wheel last in the upcoming SCSD.

But before then, Shea (most likely not from Flushing, NY; no offense to anyone) comes on down & the one-bids are wrapped up by a 10-piece selection of Temptu makeup (Amber & Manuela)("Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People). Warren's been here the whole show but will be concluding the one-bid bidding on this Monday.

Marie: $1K/Nicholas: $600/Warren: $601/SHEA: $500

ARP: $547

TODAY'S FF BREAKFAST CLUB MEMBER- Warren

Shea plays the Range Game for a trip to South Beach, FL's Beacon Hotel (Rachel at Door #3)("I Like It Like That" by Hot Chelle Rae feat. New Boyz). The range's $7,400-$8K & the stopper's pressed at $7,626-$7,776...the price's $7,687 & we unofficially have a perfect second half!

SCSD #2:
Celste ($21,152): $.95
Shea ($8,234): 60 + 70 = OVER BY A SET OF DIMES
Madison ($11,400): Dime + 85 = $.95

SPIN-OFF:
Celeste: $.65
Madison: OUT BY A NICKEL

SHOWCASE #1 (Door #2)("Domino" by Jessie J for first two prizes only):

Right- Free video of the Showcase winner's day (but only if at least this Showcase's won)

CELESTE'S TRIPCASE (Amber at Door #1)("The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry): Private tour of the L.A. County Museum of Art & vacations to the Gran Hotel Conde Duque in Madrid, Spain & Singapore (the other two museum tours also included in this extravaganza are to the El Bravo Museum & the Singapore Art Museum respectively)

(Note: Had the Pathfinder win been an official one that was absolutely fair, the Focus probably would've been behind Door #3 since that door wasn't used during the day's Showcase presentations)

CELESTE BIDS 24 G'S ON ART TRIPCASE

Showcase ARPs:

James: $23,986
Celeste: $24,753

All in all, Celeste's winnings in cash & prizes: $45,905.

(Also on "Let's Make a Deal" today: Anthony & Nicole nearly swept Panic Button & won all the prizes totaling $13,320 in the first part of the game, including a trip to New Orleans; had they gone for the $4K bonus, they would've won it. Their luck ultimately ran out in the Big Deal of the Day, though, as their final choice of Door #3 caused them to severely trade down to a $2,250 camera/camcorder package. Door #2 had the BD, the $8,132 Anchorage, AK & $15,646 Thailand trips.)
