DECISION: GO FOR THE MONEY- EPIC FAIL (A: $1,450)
Small Box (Jonathan)- Three-night trip to the Vintage Park hotel in Seattle ($3,482)

The next two (hopefully smart) traders are Anastasia (dressed as bubbles from a spa trip) & Thomas (dressed as a doctor). Anastasia, then Thomas, keep the check for each of them at least for now...

BB (something you plug in)- Home entertainment center ($3K)
CURTAIN #1 (for the home)- Dining room w/ Italian-inspired leather chairs ($3,418)

...& Anastasia reluctantly takes the gamble on the middle curtain.

CHECK (Thomas)- $1,200
CURTAIN #2 (Anastasia)- Giant gorilla on a beach chair

Tanja (dressed as a colorful bird) goes on a very unsuccessful Gold Rush, losing the $500 she started w/ from #3 by then picking #5 & #8 (that's the second time in a row this game's been lost in three picks); that also means a $16K FIAT 500 MT (Curtain #3) goes back into storage.

Latoya's running the SB Gauntlet.

Red: Luxury spa day ($1,865)
Green: Michael Kors handbag & Prada pumps ($1,890)- STOP
Blue- Digital camera ($799)
Gold- Grilled cheese flip-flops

In any event, she's going for the Big Deal of the Day!

THE BIG DEAL: Once again, a pair of holidays are part of this & this pairing today's worth $25,188. Door #2's the final guess from Latoya...#1 had some patio furniture w/ a cabana & an ODEON BBQ worth $6,367. Her door...ENDS THE CURRENT AIRED BD LOSING STREAK- she's going to both Long Bay ($7,196) & the Wyndham Vacation Rentals in Central Italy ($17,992; includes the $250 American Express gift card)! Left in #3 were Apple electronics totaling $2,336.

Thanks to the dismal GR playing, there's plenty of time for Quickie Deals, but only one lady succeeds for $100 because of showing Jonathan a small mirror.
