Gynneth plays Think Big for a five-night trip to the Dreams Riviera Cancun (RB) valued at $5,805. There are only three statements in this playing:
Number of "Friday the 13th" feature films
Record-setting number of people crammed into an old model MINI Cooper according to Guinness World Records
Number of grams in an ounce
GUESS: Grams
GB Sure Thing- Michael Kors accessories ($1,770)
"Friday the 13th" films: 12
MINI Cooper crammers: 21
After Charles guesses 28 for the grams in a single ounce...Gynneth goes for it, meaning Charles will win $100 if Gynneth does get the trip in this deal.
Ounce grams: 28- PERFECT DEAL #2!
THE BIG DEAL: But she's going right on for DOOR #2, which is absolutely...WRONG- she has to sleep in a visiondecor.com bedroom group totaling $3,716.
#1- Home gym ($8,803)
#3- Nissan Sentra 2.0 ($16,972) & trip to the PalmerHouse in Chicago ($7,300)
Alexander (court jester) wins the $500 twitter wad for displaying to Jonathan a white golf tee. Elsewhere of note in Quickie Deals & Jason spells "birthday" backwards within seven seconds for $200.
TPiR: Before I begin this U.S. "Price" recap, I want to make several notes:
-The premiere of the latest Aussie version has it a half-hour long & is much like the '94-95 U.S. syndicated version. The top two Pricing Game winners will face off in the Showcase Playoff; in the event of a tie, a small prize tiebreaker is held under the traditional One-Bid rules to determine who wins that gift & a Showcase Playoff berth. The new announcer is NOT John Deeks as first reported, but rather former Aussie "Big Brother" houseguest Brodie Young. Finally, only the current Aussie "Come on Down!" theme is used as the new version's main theme & the set's designed like the French version titled "Le Juste Prix".
-(Super) Squeeze Play was the only car PG won on the U.S. version last week- who would've thunk it? Unless I'm mistaken, the past three times (including that one) a car winner from a non-car PG who went on to win at least one Showcase won a Chevrolet in their game (an HHR in the Bonus Game on May 11th of '09 that led to a Double Showcase Win, a Cobalt Coupe on the Range Game on Dec. 7 of '09 & the Colorado Work Truck from last Tuesday's episode on Squeeze Play)
And this morning's American episode has an Olympian stopping by to be the male guest model for at least this day- Bryan Clay (who won a gold medal in the Decathlon). Our First Four winner wannabes are Thomas Smith, Deborah Rais from the front row, Alicia Garcia & Megan Archuleta, w/ the first PUFB being some Ralph Lauren accessories (Bryan & Rachel; includes two white Team USA outfits)("We Run the Night" by Havana Brown featuring Pitbull).
Megan: $395 (STAGE GARF)/Alicia: $450/Deborah: $350 (STAGE GARF)/Thomas: $425 (STAGE GARF)
Alicia wins the $979 apparel by default & now has the chance to become the second Scion tC (Amber at Door #3)("Pay the Rent" by Michael Karp) winner at the Spelling Bee (Rachel). For free, she has #23 & #13 removed.
SPs (using a current Edd Kalehoff cue):
1. Black Cuisinart coffeemaker: $25- $30 (#12)
2. Trio of red ceramic jars w/ serving spoons: $20- BULLSEYE! (2nd this season after not having one at all in the Drew Carey era)(#8 & #20)
3. Cuisinart Smart Stick: $55 (not revealed on TV)
Drew's turning all of the cards in this playing. The first two cards have a C & A respectively...but the last three have C's.
Coming on down fifth will be Vincent Vasquez & GUFB #2's a Leica 10.1 MP digital SLR camera (ceiling w/ another Edd prize cue heard in the background).
Megan: BUCK (STAGE GARF #2)/VINCENT: $450/Deborah: $650/Thomas: $800
Thomas overbid by a buck, which means Deborah comes up w/ a pink/black T-shirt that says "We were in it to win it"- in this case, we're referring to a six-night stay at the Marriott S.F. Marquis w/ the helicopter tour & sunset cruise (Amber at Door #2)("International Love" by Pitbull feat. Chris Brown) playing Side By Side. The blocks:
90
69
She's a winner of that $6,990 vacation as Mike intended!
Player #6 is Dianne Warren (probably NOT related to Curtis) & the first half of one-bidding wraps up as they unveil that Avanti XFIT 209L treadmill (Brian working out on it behind splitting sign)("Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine).
Megan: $1,300/Vincent: BUCK/DIANNE: $1,100/Thomas: $900
ARP: $2,499
Given Brian's here, it's appropriate that someone like Megan runs that Race Game (Bryan)("It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars) for a Gateway 23" all-in-one touchscreen computer (Rachel), the Honda CRF 100F motorcycle (Rachel), an American Range Saute step-up gas range (Amber) & a foozball table (Amber).

Thomas completes the FF Sweep & plays Hi-Lo (which was the first PG played on the Aussie revival, BTW) for a dining room designed by Michael Amini & Jane Seymour w/ Michael C. Fina Cape Spade dinnerware & the one-year Dinner of the Month club membership, making this prize package worth $12,324 (Rachel at Door #3; current Line 'Em Up/Rat Race/10 Chances opening prize cue by Edd). Monday's groceries ("Good Feeling" by Flo Rida) are Bailey's Toffee Almond Cream Coffee Creamer, Unisom Sleep Tabs, Maybelline NY medium pink blush compact, a 16-pack of Kraft Singles American cheese, 12-Hour Children's Allegra Allergy medicine in berry flavor & Aspercreme Heat Gel.

Freya Peters gets the green podium second & the fifth one-bid's dealing w/ Oakley accessories- three pairs of sunglasses & three watches (Amber & Bryan, the latter of whom puts on a gold medal on the host)("Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera).
Robert: $1,299/Vincent: $1,100/Dianne: $550/FREYA: $525
ARP: $1,980
Drew puts that medal on Robert, because this Elroy, WI native may need all the luck from it playing That's Too Much for the Hyundai Sonata (Rachel at Door #3)(current truck/convertible cue by Karp, I think).
1. $13,455
2. $14,941
3. $15,690

BARBARA: $425/Vincent: $625/Dianne: $650/Freya: $651
ARP: $899
Freya from Carmel's free to play Switch? ("Sexy & I Know It" by LMFAO) for the Panasonic 55" 3-D HDTV marked at $3,297 (Rachel) & a BOSE home entertainment center marked at $2,499 (Amber). She makes the ill-advised move of Switching...but we have a breakeven day!
SCSD #2:
Thomas ($985): 30 + Half-Dollar = $.80
Freya ($6,695): 45 + 80 = OVER BY A QUARTER
Robert ($23,635): 40 + 60 = WINS $1K & SHOWCASE BERTH!
Does Rob win some more American cash in his Bonus Spin...YES W/ THAT $25K & HE NOW HAS $49,635 IN CASH & STUFF TO HIS NAME!!!!
BACKYARD BLISS SHOWCASE ("Glad You Came" by The Wanted):
Door #3- Beachcomber Hot Tub & six-piece porch outdoor seating group (Rachel)
Door #4- Trip to Turtle Bay Resort
Door #1- Six-night African Safari from The Thornyoush Collection courtesy of South African Airways (Amber)
ROBERT PASSES TO MEGAN; MEGAN BIDS $22,253 ON BACKYARD/TRIPS SHOWCASE- POSSIBLE STAGE GARF (I doubt that covers much more than that safari)
ROBERT'S BRYAN SHOWCASE (Door #2)("Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson):
Right- Six pairs of aSICS running shoes (Bryan)
Inside- 2012 BMW 128i Coupe (Std., AT, Moonroof) w/ a year's worth of bp gasoline valued at $3,245 (Amber)
ROBERT BIDS $31,229 ON BMW SHOWCASE
Hot Door Prediction of the Day: If Robert wins at least his Showcase, both TBW & the Sonata will be behind Door #3 (just like it was over a year ago)
Also, not factoring into anyone's winnings, everybody will receive a copy of Bryan's book Redemption.
Is this the second aired episode in a row to have a non-Showcase winner win more than the day's Showcase victor, or has Robert become one of the highest winners this season (if not ever)?...
Showcase ARPs (Drew didn't do the little prize recap for either Showcase prior to revealing their total price):
Robert: $37,125 (Difference: $5,896)
Megan: $33,844 (Difference: $11,591)
...YES- ROBERT HAS JUST BECOME THE THIRD-HIGHEST MALE DAYTIME "TPiR" WINNER EVER W/ $86,760 IN CASH & PRIZES- CONGRATULATIONS, SIR!!!!!!
FINAL MAJOR PRIZE LOCATIONS: Both of his cars are actually behind Door #2; the Hyundai's on the left. However, TBW DOESN'T appear again at all. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything.
TODAY'S PG RECORD: 3-3
TOTAL WINNINGS: $105,812
(One more thing: A message noting Bob Stewart's passing was seen just before the FreemantleMedia North American logo & the closing credits; you only saw that on TV. A tribute page is now on the show's website.)

Seven clues into this road trip, Eliza hits the Daily Double behind the $600 Books screen & both girls in this semi-final game have $1,200 each. Eliza makes it a True DD:
This H.G. Wells story says the title figure has "...googling spectacles and (a) ghastly bandaged face".
"Who is The Invisible Man?"...yeah. She's at $3,600 when halftime's called; the other two teenagers have $1,800 apiece.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some time in the TT tapings from D.C., Alex reportedly gave away the correct response to a clue even before any player got to ring in on it, causing that clue to be thrown out in exchange for a new one.
