Other show info

*Today's show was exciting and upbeat. Four Pricing Games were won, two cars were won and there was a $1,000 bonus in the Showcase Showdown.
*Dennis was one of the most memorable contestants that I've seen in a long time. He was all over the studio today. First, he took the long way to contestant's row. Then, when he saw the car in Lucky $even, he ran and jumped happily towards it. I thought Nikki was going to hit him. Then when he won Lucky $even and the Showcase Showdown he ran and jumped anywhere and everywhere. He kissed the car he won, ran to the Lucky $even board, ran to the audience to high-five his friends, ran back to Bob and even ran to Rod.
*Why does Bob make the contestants (try to) explain Race Game? Why is it always this game (and Check Game) and rarely any others?
*Question: How do you know if a contestant watches the show? Answer: If as soon as a contestant sees a grocery game featuring the toaster breaks pizza, they point to it and say "I know what the price of that is!"
