Kelly & Robin's Group Song: "State of Shock" by Michael Jackson
IMPORTANT NOTES: Starting next week, the two amateurs who finish in the bottom will face elimination, so I was wrong about the non-elimination part. Also, Johnny Gray is unexpectedly OUT from the competition.

Richard's in Lock Game Territory at halftime w/ $4K, leaving John w/ $1,200 & Scotti w/ $800. W/ three clues to go (including the last two on Sheep), John nabs the Daily Double to close out The Gilded Age & he's in first place w/ $4,800; Richard's not too far behind him w/ $3,600 & the same goes for Scotti, as she's sitting on $2,800. John tries to retain his lead w/ another $1,800 because of this clue:
Gilded Age advocates of the theory called "Social" this-ism applauded the "Survival of the Fittest".
"What is Darwinism?"...that's $6,600 & we don't get to the $1K Sheep answer before time runs out.

Scotti could have more than a $2K opportunity at the end of Where'd Ya Get That Title, because a DD just came her way w/ $4,400; John has a $3K lead over her & Richard's down to two thou. She settles for the face value of this bit:
Lorraine Hansberry's title A Raisin in the Sun comes from a line in this poem "Harlem" by this man.
"Who is Dunbar?" is definitely incorrect; the author was Langston Hughes & she's gone back to $2,400, which also means John's in LGT. A little later, Richard goes DD Hunting starting w/ the $800 Discovering Japan screen...& three clues later at the $1,600 clue, he's got it at the $2,800 mark; he trails Scotti by $800 & leader John by $1,800. The champ risks $1,200:
Though he didn't make it all the way to "Cipango", he reported it had "...gold in the greatest abundance".
He doesn't remember Marco Polo. And there's not enough time for all this:

FINAL J! SUBJECT: Airline History.
Scotti Whitmire's last response this game was "What is Pan A" after originally going w/ Eastern...no good & that takes away $2,801 to stop the lady at $1,999; her suggested betting range in this 3/4 betting situation was $1,001-$1,200. John Baker completes the query of "What is Pan Am"...which is indeed right to win the title w/ $11,300. Richard Block, who responded w/ Caribbean Air, goes home w/ $19,601.

W/ three clues to go (including the last two on Sheep), John nabs the Daily Double to close out The Gilded Age & he's in first place w/ $4,800; Richard's not too far behind him w/ $3,600 & the same goes for Scotti, as she's sitting on $2,800. John tries to retain his lead w/ another $1,800 because of this clue:
Gilded Age advocates of the theory called "Social" this-ism applauded the "Survival of the Fittest".
"What is Darwinism?"...that's $6,600 & we don't get to the $1K Sheep answer before time runs out.

Scotti could have more than a $2K opportunity at the end of Where'd Ya Get That Title, because a DD just came her way w/ $4,400; John has a $3K lead over her & Richard's down to two thou. She settles for the face value of this bit:
Lorraine Hansberry's title A Raisin in the Sun comes from a line in this poem "Harlem" by this man.
"Who is Dunbar?" is definitely incorrect; the author was Langston Hughes & she's gone back to $2,400, which also means John's in LGT. A little later, Richard goes DD Hunting starting w/ the $800 Discovering Japan screen...& three clues later at the $1,600 clue, he's got it at the $2,800 mark; he trails Scotti by $800 & leader John by $1,800. The champ risks $1,200:
Though he didn't make it all the way to "Cipango", he reported it had "...gold in the greatest abundance".
He doesn't remember Marco Polo. And there's not enough time for all this:

FINAL J! SUBJECT: Airline History.
Clipper Goodwill, a Boeing 727, took this airline's last passengers from Barbados to Miami December 4, 1991.
Scotti Whitmire's last response this game was "What is Pan A" after originally going w/ Eastern...no good & that takes away $2,801 to stop the lady at $1,999; her suggested betting range in this 3/4 betting situation was $1,001-$1,200. John Baker completes the query of "What is Pan Am"...which is indeed right to win the title w/ $11,300. Richard Block, who responded w/ Caribbean Air, goes home w/ $19,601.

TPiR: Since Mike became the executive producer of the program back in 2009, Monday's ending was the first time I've ever seen a Showcase car behind one door get replaced by an automobile won in a Pricing Game the same day. Also, that day's Pick-a-Number continued the recent tradition of having Chevrolet cars won by PG winners in non-car games who went on to win the Showcase, w/ Grocery Game being the exception during that period (a Mercury Milan was won back in '08, then a Toyota Tacoma a few weeks ago).
Today, Contestant's Row gets filled out by Alexander Aiello, Kyeshia Hughes, Michael Brannin & Frances Frizelle & coming down the ceiling first's the pair of Archos tablets (IUFB/truck cue).
Alexander: $849/Kyeshia: $1,300/Michael: $1K/Frances: $750
Those $800 electronics belong to Frances (a dental hygienist from Seattle) & now she plays 1/2 Off (Rachel on the left, Amber on the right).
SPs ("Domino" by Jessie J):
1. Pitcher ($20) & condiment set ($18)
2. Cake pop maker ($20) & passport cover ($8)
3. Toaster oven ($25) & iron ($20)
Believe it or not...she only gets the $40 pitcher right, so the cover was $16 (& she just gave a ZONK ANSWER OF THE WEEK NOMINEE) & that was a $50 oven.
Frances lets Rachel take it easy by bringing #16...but she completely misses it (so the big bucks were in #2).
The fifth calldown's Tenise Juge & the second one-bid's going to be about a three-night trip to the MacArthur Palace courtesy of the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau (Door #6)(new piano cue).
Alexander: $1,700/Kyeshia: $2K/Michael: $1,801/TENISE: $1,800 (& Drew does his occasional mimicking of a player's voice)
Kyeshia has the $4,034 getaway almost by default & will play Coming or Going for this non-trip prize package, an Avanti gym w/ a one-year Gold's Gym membership (Manuela at Door #3)(saxy multi-prize cue).
Guess: $6,547
ARP: $6,547- WIN!
After George says Jason Redondo's name, Rachel comes out wearing two pairs of Gucci sunglasses for the third IUFB ("Love You Betta" by Neon Hitch).

ARP: $560
Alexander plays Let 'Em Roll for June's "Price" Retro Car of the Month, a black/red '55 Buick Century Coupe (includes a V8 engine, AT, power brakes & power steering) valued at $22.5K (Amber at Door #3)(new party theme).

He starts w/ the $500 N at the end of the board, four E's, the same number of T's to add $2K to his current $250 & two O's, then he has caught a $7.5K trio of H's, a $5K S pairing but then the Bankrupt next to top dollar to clean him out of $14.5K; ouch. Second, Nora calls the two L's for $1K, buys the three A's, gets two $600 W's & then rounds out the vowels before she calls in a couple of top dollar R's & we have...

"Who is (Charles) Goodyear?"...that was him to bump him up to $7,200, but he then gives $2K right back to an incorrect response on the last clue there. Not enough time for either of the last two Knight Wear clues or the $2K one regarding Virtuosi, so one of those three has this evening's last DD hidden from view.
