Sean Connery
Michael J. Fox
Kevin Spacey
Cindy Crawford
Jim Carrey
Jodie Foster

Hilary Swank

1. Jodie Foster- $25
2. Avril Lavigne

The $100 was behind Cindy Crawford, $50 was behind Weird Al and the other right answers were Ben Stein, Emmylou Harris and Kevin Spacey. She will return tomorrow.

TPIR: Our opening players were Autumn Harris, Elena Iturriaga, Thomas McLean and Sharon Babkhan. The first IUFB was a treadmill.

Autumn: $1,899
Elena: $1,970
Thomas: $1,250
Sharon: $1,251

ARP: $1,999, so Iturriaga played Clock Game for $1,000, a pair of patio heaters and a sofa. Before the prizes were revealed, Drew Carey mistakened an image on the contestant's shirt as Spongebob Squarepants and said some of the character's song lyrics! ARP of the heaters was $518. She started with $799, then $650, $430, $510, $550, $540, $530, $525, $522, then back to $510, $512, and she one-upped from there. She had only seven seconds to get the ARP of the sofa, which was $969...she didn't make it.

The next player was Andrew Boraza and the second IUFB was a chandelier.

Andrew: $785
Thomas: $1,000
Sharon: $1,001
Autumn: $875

ARP: $1,035, so that extra dollar meant Babkhan played Master Key for a Chevy Cobalt plus a cradle and some clocks. The first SP was a Wizard of Oz Barbie doll marked at either $25 or $57, and she was right with $25, and she chose key #1 (most of the audience wanted her to pick #2). The other item was a soccer ball humidifier marked at either $35 or $50, and she was wrong with $50. Key #1...won her the car!

Next player was Erin Feldman and the third IUFB was a wine cooler.

Erin: $1,250
Autumn: $299
Andrew: $2,500
Thomas: $1,100

ARP: $999, so by being the only one to underbid, Harris played Balance Game for an entertainment center. The last three numbers were 6, 2 and 8. The available dollar values were $1,000, $2,000 and $3,000. She chose the $1,000 and $3,000 bags for a guess of $4,628, after she wanted to say $3,628...winner!

But the only loser this half went to the Showcase.

Next player was Arlene Thibodeaux and the fourth IUFB was a set of guitars. The winner also got a $40 supply of Energizer hearing aid batteries.

Arlene: $1,200
Andrew: $1,250
Thomas: $1,251
Erin: $1,252

ARP: $1,976, so Feldman played Grand Game. Target was $8.50 and the products were Hot Pockets, a can of cat food, Gold Bond Lotion, Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away, Clorox and Mylanta. This should've been easy...she got the cat food ($.79), the Hot Pockets ($2.49), the Clorox ($6.29) and the Mylanta ($7.99) for the $10,000!

(The green $10K graphic is apparently no more as of right now.)

Next player was Christine Sharp and the next IUFB was a water scooter.

Christine: $800
Arlene: $1,300
Andrew: $1,200
Thomas: $1,301

All were over.

Christine: $450
Arlene: $675
Andrew: $720
Thomas: $721

ARP: $496, so we hope this lady really lived up to her last name when she played 2 For the Price of One for a Dodge Caliber and dinnerware, a total of $16,485. She chose the last digit for free, a 5. The first number was either 5 or 8 and the second number in the price of the dinnerware was either 7 or 9. She said $595 for the dinnerware...

$ 5 9 5

...she thought Roger would be very evil on this setup...not so much. It was actually $875.

The last player was Shannon Earl and the final IUFB was a set of digital camera frames.

Shannon: $170 (SUICIDE BID)
Arlene: $775
Andrew: $475
Thomas: $250 (STUPID BID)

ARP: $630, so McLean was sent to the First Four Breakfast Club while Boraza played Side by Side for a trip to Sedona, AZ. It was either $3,640 or $4,036. I said $4,036 while he disagreed...he should've agreed with me. But he did get to the Showcase.

The first Showcase featured perfect products for the right situations. First, Gunk Be Gone is for those women who always want to have a squeaky clean new BBQ. Second, Boogie is a spray for those who obviously want to do just that with a new jukebox. Finally, Conk You Out is for those who want to go to sleep, and make them dream so much about going to this place so much that they would magically be there after they wake up- New Zealand! McLean bid $2,900 instead of 29 grand, which was a GARF OF THE CENTURY AND A ZONK ANSWER OF THE WEEK NOMINEE. For the lady, we had $1,000, a diamond ring and a Ford Fusion, and she bid $16,500 for the victory and $24,926 in prizes! The Showcase prices, just for the record:

Trip: $22,498
Car: $22,409

Tonight's model winner was Ravyn, I think.
