Once again, for the fourth Million Dollar Spectacular in a row, Drew made his entrance from the Big Doors with escorts accompanying him along the way. Due to this sort of introduction, no one was near the Motorcycle when it was revealed as tonight’s first Item Up for Bids. After becoming the proud owner of the motor driven cycle (generic name), Kristin became $25,000 richer after lifting the lid of the box bearing her twin sister’s lucky number 16. “Alakazam, lift up the lid!” Kristin shouted after Drew told her what to do. He could barely stand up after Kristin repeated what he said. Elizabeth’s reliance on the audience during 3 Strikes resulted in arguments many of tonight’s viewers may have found entertaining. At the beginning of 3 Strikes, which was played at a quicker pace than usual, Drew found time to mention one of the dresses worn on tonight’s show. By amazing coincidence, Eccho was playing Range Game for a prize “with her name on it”, according to Drew, but it was actually a prize with a similar sounding name (Echo Trailer). Cover Up was tonight’s million dollar game, but based on his strategy Jonathan seemed more interested in winning the Jeep automobile rather than trying to get every number right on the first try to win the money. Unfortunately for Jonathan, the fourth number in the price turned out to be “1”, not another “2”. Delilah almost left Grand Game (or “the $20,000 game”, as Drew called it) with $2000, but changed her mind due to audience reaction and left tonight’s show richer. Linda chose the highest price over the correct price of the Ford Mustang in Double Prices. Tonight’s Showcase featured a Ski Boat, Golf prizes, and a Dodge Viper. Eccho may have underbid on a Showcase that included an automobile worth over $80,000, but Jonathan’s big difference made her the Showcase winner tonight. We end tonight’s show not with a new millionaire, but with a proud new Viper owner at the wheel.

For the second Million Dollar Spectacular in a row, Drew was accompanied by escorts as he made his entrance from the Big Doors. Within the first five minutes of the show, Drew made mention of his tuxedo and the two piece swimwear worn as the Puerto Vallarta trip was revealed as the first Item Up for Bids. Brenda of North Carolina was surprised along with many other viewers to see three automobiles in One Wrong Price. This was also the first time I’ve seen Mini Cooper automobiles on the show. Unfortunately for Brenda, the price of the Hatchback model, or “number one”, seemed right in her eyes. Lindsay has a chance not only to win as much as $100,000 in Plinko, but $1 million dollars if three of her Plinko chips fall into the $20,000 slot, thus earning her a golden Plinko chip for the chance to win the big prize. After one chip got stuck near the bottom of the Plinko, “Do over!” Lindsay shouted instead of Drew, who would normally say such a thing. There was no need for the Plinko stick this time. Lindsay became $41,000 richer in spite of her fourth chip not falling into the $20,000 slot (her fifth chip did). Jeremy, bearer of the Alabama Crimson Tide sweater, plays Pocket Change for a Lincoln automobile courtesy of the show or the “used car lot” Drew joked about. Unfortunately the price of the car (25 cents) rose three times too much for Jeremy, whose game ended with 50 cents. Rita’s game of Pushover featured two expensive motorcycles from Suzuki, but she managed to find a price that was most likely the total prize value. According to our host, the audience was “ooing” as Any Number came around the Turntable for Christopher in his Marine dress uniform. Megan saw a crowded Party Boat as her prize in Pick A Pair. She stayed with the $2.99 Salsa, but didn’t realize how low in price the Pain Reliever was. Contestants not appearing on stage included a very interesting one: Vance, who only used his fingers to tell an interpreter his bids. Tonight’s Showcase featured a Chevy Corvette, a Lawn Tractor, and a Motorhome. We end tonight’s not with a millionaire, but with Lindsay the proud owner of $120,633 in prizes.
