Valentine's Day 2012 Results

LMaD: Fittingly, we start their third VD episode w/ a couple in Kenneth (dressed as Cupid) & Nancy (dressed as a picture frame). They may win a VIP Broadway trip to see "Chicago" (includes a four-night stay at Hilton Times Square) valued at $6,908 (w/ four ladies from that play behind Curtain #2) in the first deal this morning if they can find it (but it's not necessarily the top prize of this deal), but first, Wayne joins those guests to sing "All I Care About Is Love". The base items (Jonathan) are a top hat & a cane.

Rejected in R1: Cane- $2.5K
Rejected in R2: CURTAIN #3 (after she listens to her son Cory)- Broken heart
Rejected in R3: CURTAIN #1- Trip
Rejected in Final Round: $1K for the hat- PERFECT ROUND!

For the second straight day, we're doing the Head-to-Head For a Car Game; the traders this go-round are Shaundon (who's wearing pink cat pajamas) & Monique (dressed as a grandma).

Curtain Selections:

Shaundon: #3
Monique: #2
OFFERS (the Car Pong/Great Escape music's used again): $900, $1K, $1,200, $1,300, $1.5K, $2K- THAT'S ENOUGH FOR SHAUNDON

#2- Bumper car ride through the tunnel of love (#3: Toyota Yaris)($16,433)

Heather's the first trader in the third deal.

Sam's Round (who's wearing a fake tuxedo): $800
SMALL BOX (Tiffany in front of Curtain #2)- Sunset wine cruise ($1,150)

Stephanie's Round (who's allegedly part of a lonely hearts club): Big Box ($1,200)- MacBook Pro w/ iPad2 & Nikon digital camera ($4,398)

Heather's FR: CURTAIN #1- AjMadison/Wilton baking kitchen ($5,872)(Heart: Lonely hearts club membership)

PERFECT ROUND #2

Kari (dressed as a cupcake) has the chance to choose from any of the single men in the crowd to make the next deal w/ her...& Tyler's chosen (who's wearing a pit hat & a pink T-shirt w/ the word "insomnia" on it). They meet Dr. Wayne without the pomp & circumstance & are each given $500 to start.

R1: $600 or Red Box?

Kari- BOX
Match?- YES
RB- Android w/ a year's worth of service ($2,040)

R2: $800 or CURTAIN #3?

Kari- $$
Match?- YES (Current total: $3,340)
CURTAIN #3- Metropolitan scooter

Gilbert (dressed as a milk carton) & Joann (dressed as a cow) play the "My Husband Sounds Like a..." Deal together, even though they aren't married.

R1: Bumble bee- BUMBLE BEE ($1.5K)
R2: Train- TRAIN ($2.5K)

TBR (CURTAIN #1): NO- Mazda2 Sport MT ($14,975)

Tena's Fast Deal (she's dressed as a hamburger): $1.5K
SB (Jonathan)- Candy hearts

PERFECT DEAL #3

THE BIG DEAL: Yesterday's pair of Big Deal trips weren't won, but maybe this $29,744 pairing to Hawaii ($13,045) & France ($16,699) will be claimed by Heather after she selects Door #1...the center spot (which I would've guessed for both That's Enough & the BD because of the holiday) had the $2,443 BBQ package, so she completely misses it as well & is sent home w/ the $6,797 Bludot bedroom set.

Dama & John show off their wedding rings in front of the host for $100, but Arthur (dressed as Dr. Love) pulls out a Diamond from Jonathan's deck of cards instead of a Heart, so no Benjamin for him.
