A marked improvement over yesterday.

I posted a comment on your blog recap. In reference to Rat Race.

[tpirrules19]

Switch?: Not too bad of a setup...I've seen plenty of computers on LMaD as well to know they don't go for $3K.

Push Over: I likely would have jumped on the $7K as well.

Rat Race: Brilliantly played...too bad she couldn't claim the car.

Shopping Spree: The designer crap claims another victim...

Gas Money: Is it just me or are more and more people losing by picking the most expensive price?

Pick-a-Pair: At least some game is getting won consistently.

Showcases: Percy's lucky gloves save his day.

*Designer items aren't any worse than the 47 types of dinettes the show used to have.

* Jeez. That blue rat took off like a shot. I know they don't time the race, but I'll bet that was the fastest finish yet.
*Sadly, that was an historic moment. Milena was the first contestant to win all three rats, but not the car. Too bad.

*Is it just me, or are the winning goals for Shopping Spree a lot higher than they used to be?

* People are really getting fooled by the Focus. It's not a cheap car anymore. Compact cars in America in general aren't as cheap as they used to be.

* As a Michigander myself, I can tell you that it's Mackinac Island, TheKid. I know. I know. I don't know how they got an "ah" sound out of ac, either.

Did you not hear Drew's explanation today? It's been that way since day one. But neither he nor Bob ever specifically said that.

(So the actual answer to the question is it doesn't matter.)

I know the rules. I mean that contestants used to have to spend $4000-$5000. Now it seems like it's always over $7000.

Inflation.

Also, I noticed the contestant who won yesterday's showcase apparently wore black gloves during the entire show. Why did he wear gloves on the show? Did he have a skin disorder or something?

He claimed they were his "lucky gloves" or something along those lines.

He claimed they were his "lucky gloves" or something along those lines.

And they really did prove to be lucky. Though it was likely a fluke.
