TPiR: A future Olympian will appear in this morning's episode. Before we get to this athlete, let's hear George call on Dominique Jackson, Tracey Mosconi, Wilbur Bakke & Pearl McAllister & announce that the first IUFB's another one of those DXG camcorder pairings (Manuela & Rachel; different version of the IUFB/truck cue's used).

Pearl: $529/Tracey: $703/Wilbur: $850/Dominique: $800

ARP: $570

Pearl does a baseball slide just as she comes up on stage, but she's NOT playing 3 Strikes; instead, she's playing Bonkers for a Catalina Yachts Expo 12.5 sailboat (Jessica Hardy at Door #3; she's the Olympic hopeful we're talking about)(Boat cue by Edd Kalehoff). Base numbers:

7 5 4 7

1. HHLH- NO
2. HHHH- NO WAY
3. HLHL- NO
4. HLHH- WIN W/ :11 LEFT! (ARP: $9,459)

While Pearl continues to use even more energy celebrating w/ Jessica & the sailboat, Michael Ceccolini from Ithaca College comes on down fifth & the second one-bid gift's four pairs of Yves St. Laurent sunglasses (ceiling platform)("Feel So Close" by Calvin Harris).

MICHAEL: $1,004/Tracey: $575/Wilbur: $650/Dominique: $1,005

Dominique, a guy from Dayton, OH, plays Switch? for the 32" SunBriteTV marked at $4,800 (Gwendolyn) & the BULL Luxury Q BBQ island marked at $2,595 (Rachel)("Work Out" by J. Cole). He swaps...& wins!

Michael: $1,999/Tracey: $1,248/Wilbur: $2K/ANA: $1,475

ARP: $1,900

Ana, a Temecula after-school program who's been watching this GS every time she gets a break at work, better have taken note of lots of the prizes' ARPs recently, because she's playing More or Less for the Hamilton Beach appliances marked at only $300 (Gwen), three pairs of Prada heels marked at three grand (Gwen & Rachel), an Electrolux washer/dryer marked at $4K (Rachel) & the '12 Jeep Patriot CVT marked at $19,800 (Manuela; "Part of Me" by Katy Perry for the first three prizes, followed by the truck/van/convertible cue by Edd).

Appliances- MORE ($590)
Heels- MORE ($2,085)
JEEP P.- $18,770

I believe three LESSes followed the MORE at the start, so there was very little chance someone was going to run the table in this playing.

SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Ana ($2,490): $.60
Dominique ($8,480): $.65
Pearl ($10,029): 40 + Half-Dollar = $.90

The next green contestant's Mary Peters & the fourth GUFB's a VocoPro system (Rachel behind rising sign)("Say You Like Me" by We the Kings).

Michael: $800/Tracey: $850/Wilbur: BUCK/MARY: $750

ARP: A thou

Tracey, who's wearing zebra-colored attire w/ a hoodie, plays Squeeze Play (which would've been a slightly more appropriate Pricing Game for Pearl to have played given what she did right after walking up the Southpaw Steps) for a six-piece Office DEPOT Magellan home office that includes a MacPro 8 GB desktop system (Gwen at Door #2)("Blackout" by Breathe Carolina). Board:

50503

She removes the first zero & she's absolutely...

(Notes: As of this episode, George usually doesn't repeat the name of the car being played for in Pricing Games after describing it. Also, we didn't hear any dinging while the rats on the results board were being lit up off-camera & there was no instant replay just before the break.)

The last newbie of the day's Tammy Schulman & the final IUFB of the morning's a pair of Dahon Expresso 26" mountain bikes (Rachel at Door #5)("Drive By" by Train). Wilbur's in BIG trouble.

After Sav tries a $500 G at the end, an A buy fails her.
