Baby Bump (expecting moms play): 6/25 (8:30 AM)
Veteran's Day: 8/7 (Noon)
Thanksgiving: 8/20 (8:30 AM)
As for today, Misty May-Treanor's here to present the first IUFB & Showcase #2! But first, Mr. Gray calls on Jessica Schmaus, Harmik Abrahamian, Helga Coulston (whose black on pink T-shirt says she's 70 years old) & Michael Soucy & those first one-bid items are courtesy of at&T- a SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 8.9 & Galaxy S II Skyrocket (Misty)("Wide Awake" by Katy Perry) w/ the one year-plan for both.
Jessica: $900/Harmik: $950/Helga: $1,100/Michael: $1,101
ARP: $1,819
Michael from Santa Clarita, CA plays Freeze Frame for a four-night trip to the Esperanza in Cabo San Lucas (Gwendolyn at Door #3)("Set Fire to the Rain" by Adele). Some of the good-looking prices for that holiday are $7,011, $8,222, $8,982 & $9,889, but this Michael goes w/ my guess of $5,670, even though that wasn't what the majority of the crowd would've locked in...on the money!
Let's replace him in Contestant's Row w/ Uriah Zachary & make a BOSE seven-piece home theater the second IUFB this morning (Amber at Door #5)(IUFB/truck cue variant).
Jessica: $1,800/Harmik: $2K/Helga: $1,300/URIAH: $1,250
Harmik's over by a dollar, so children's hospital X-ray technician Jessica from Detroit instead plays Most Expen$ive for some female accessories (Gwen; includes three Coach handbags & some Stuart Weitzman shoes), a Golden West pool table (Amber) & a SAMSUNG 59" HDTV (Manuela)(one of the newer multi-prize cues).
Accessories: $1,744
TV: $2,599
P. Table: $3,595- WIN!
Lora Tucker exits the top-left part of the Peanut Gallery & the third GUFB's a Livestrong exercise cycle (Amber behind splitting sign)(main IUFB/truck cue).
LORA: $1,900/Harmik: $1,200/Helga: $1,100/Uriah: $1,375
Lora from Bakersfield, CA's won the $2K gift, but she could really make her dreams come true if she wins all of the Gas Money & a KIA Optima LX AT (Std., Conv., Mats, Tray, Net, DSA)(Manuela)("Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson). The prices:
$21,470/$19,390/$22,645/$17,555/$20,565
1. $17,555: $1K
2. $19,390: $3K (QUADRUPLE)
3. $21,470 (going against the PG): $2K ($6K)
FINAL PICK: $22,645- KIA PAINFUL LOSSSHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Lora ($2K): NICKEL + 45 = HALF-DOLLAR
Michael ($7,489): $.95
Jessica ($9,937): 15 + 85 = WINS $1K & SHOWCASE BERTH
While in the bonus, Jessica spins...$.85.
Misty gets to say the magic words to Sophia Doll & George says that the fourth PUFB will be a Tacori ring w/ earrings (ceiling)("Without You" by David Guetta featuring Usher).
SOPHIA: $1,200/Harmik: $2,900/Helga: $2,200/Uriah: $3,100
ARP: $2,170
Sophia won't get to play Punch-a-Bunch, but she'll play 2 for the Price of 1 for a pair of SONY Handycams (Gwen) & a six-night vacation to the Copley Square Hotel in Boston (Amber)(saxy main prize cue), all worth $6,063.
First digit: 4 or 7?
Second digit: 1 or 4?
Last digit: 0 or 7?
She makes the questionable decision of choosing the last digit for free & WIPES OUT w/ an answer of $410.
Fourth to go red's Nicole Romero & let's bring out that French door refrigerator again (Misty at GPT)(SP cue by Edd Kalehoff). The winner will also receive a year's supply of Gatorade.
NICOLE: $1,200/Harmik: $1.5K/Helga: $1,700/Uriah: $1,450
ARP: $1,699- Helga's the second player today to overbid by a buck.
Harmik's Gatorade bonus is worth $1,668, Helga's in TERRIBLE shape & now he plays Make Your Move (using another current multi-prize cue) for the BBQ tool set (Gwen), the FUEGO Element 01 (Gwen) & that Great Lakes GL4 w/ the surrounding package for it (Manuela at Door #2). The numbers:
649756290
Does he get 'em all right w/ the following?...
649756290
...no, he was only correct on the tools.
And the last name called down is Steven Von Alven, w/ the last IUFB being the GARMIN nuvi (Amber in the clam)("Let's Go" by Calvin Harris feat. Ne-Yo).
Nicole: "$200, baby!"/STEVEN: $675/Helga: $1,350/Uriah: $690
ARP: $598

Believe or not, Nicole's on the verge of the first EXACTA in this Pricing Game since the end of Drew's first season...NO, but she still finishes off the $16,293 car win because of the $40 tomato press (because she knew it was Italian) & she does the Spin-a-Rooni afterwards!
Scanner: $100
Mats (chosen first): $16

Dylan makes it a True DD on:
Barcelona-born Ramon Mercader killed this Soviet exile in Mexico City in 1940.

Aaron's stunned that a DD comes up in the center clue about The British Museum's History of the World in 100 Objects while he has $8K & Elaine's added another $400 since the start of the round. The champ wagers $4.5K on this:
The 19th Century's represented by a chronometer from this ship that helped make scientific history in the 1830s.
"What is The Beagle?"...indeed it was to get him to LGT w/ $12.5K! Right after wiping out his $1,200 debt, Dylan goes DD Hunting in the center of I Don't Know You From Adams...well, he does get the last one behind the $2K Word of Love, but he only has $800 compared to Elaine's $8,200 & Aaron's $21,300. This clue's worth its face value:
The Gettysburg Address speaks of "The last full measure of..." this committed emotion.
"What is...courage?"...no, it was "...devotion", so back to -$1,200 he goes...& that's his final score, so GAME OVER for him & he leaves w/ the $1K. Left on the board were the $1,200 Word of Love & the last two answers regarding Sister Goldenhair.

PANEL: Matt Bennett ("Victorious"), Victoria Justice ("Victorious"), Lulu Antariksa ("How to Rock") & Rachel Crow ("Fred: The Show")
#1: Dalton Smith
Remember, the objective of the panel is for them to reveal the entire talent of the contestant within three rounds. Prepositions & articles are lit on the It Wall (in the original version, Billy the Head was used & it was mechanical) right off the bat. One minute's given in the first round & :45 are provided in the second & third rounds (a minute was on the clock in every round during the original version); a panelist can continue asking yes or no questions until they get a no response; from time to time, visual clues will appear. For every round the entire talent's not guessed, s/he wins a prize & making it through all three rounds wins a trip. After the final round's timer has expired, each panelist gets one more chance to identify the talent.
TRIP OF THE DAY: Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas
In the new version, one of the key words in some talents is designated the Word of Honor. If it's said, the player's slimed (& maybe even Jeff, too).
