Oops. That sound means you've all overbid. The lowest bid so far was $1,299, so erase the bids, please, and bid *lower* than $1,299! (Kruto first, then Arp, MM200, and Ninette, same order as before).

The actual retail price is... $1,200! Arp! You finally did it! Come on up here, right up here to the turntable. Ayjo, let's see that prize!

Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: Wait for it... it's a lovely... bedroom group! Comes with twin-size oak bed, a four-drawer dresser, and two night tables, all from Furniture Inc! Or whatever that generic furniture company we mentioned earlier was called again! It's a terrific prize worth $4,289!


And we have a treat for longtime TPiR fans nostalgic for ye goode olde days! It's...





The long-retired Super Saver, making a comeback for Jul TPiR!

Anyhow, the game is simple. There are six products up there, five of which are price *below* their actual retail prices, and one which is *more* expensive. I'm going to ask you to "buy" four of those products. If you pick ones that are indeed less expensive than they should be, you'll have saved money in the difference between the listed price and the actual price. The object of the game is to have saved at least $1.00. Now, mind you, it's still mathematically possible to win, even if you pick that one rogue higher priced item! Now, Ayjo, tell us about those products.

Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: All right, Bob...err...YK...

First, we have a family-size bag of Chee! Cheese Crackers. Known for their cute little squirrel mascot and their great cheese flavor, we put the "Chee!" in "Cheese"!

Next, a four-pack of Supertuff Batteries. Guaranteed to last nearly forever, right up to the time you decide to explore a dark cave with only a battery-powered lantern! That graphic only shows two, because we're cheap.

Third, the world-famous (?) Choco-Tart! Makes a fine fancy-looking dessert, with a rich chocolately taste, and at a price that probably won't bankrupt you!

Then we have Clog-B-Gone Drain Cleaner, guaranteed to knock out the clogs in record time, with special CLOG KILLER technology. Hell if I'd know, though. I don't speak Drain Cleaner.

Hill o' Beans Coffee presents, French Roast Supreme, supposedly different from their regular French Roast. Hey, it's "Supreme", so it's gotta be better, right?

Finally, a package of (presumably) fresh "Shrooooooooms!" brand mushrooms! Guaranteed to please at the very least, Mario. And there you have it.


All right, Arp. Which of these products will you buy first?

(damn, my plan on making thousands off of the consolation prizes comes to an end!)

I will try the Coffee first I guess.

...well, now. My first unintentional "technical error". The coffee was *supposed* to be listed as being $2.30, with the correct price being $2.60, so you'd have saved 30 cents, but I goofed and listed the *actual* price. Well, I fixed that, and it ultimately doesn't affect the game, since I already had another product designated as the "more expensive" one, so nevertheless... you've saved 30 cents so far. What product would you like next?

I suppose those crackers sound a bit to generic to pay the full 99 cents, so I will go with them.

The actual price of those crackers is... wow, $1.69! You've saved a whopping 70 cents on those! You're already up to $1.00 saved! But you still have two picks left... if you can avoid that one higher-priced item, you're a guaranteed winner. So which product will you pick next?

Woo!
Using my special Humboldt knowledge, I say those shrooms are looking mighty cheap! I will go with them!

Actual price of those mushrooms... $2.89. So they were cheaper, but only by 10 cents. Nevertheless, you saved more money! One more pick, and if you've saved *any* money at all, you're a winner!

Actual price of the cleaner... ...$4.09... aahhh... oh no... you've lost 40 cents...

*losing horns*

...another heartbreaking loss...





...and that stupid display messed up again!

...I'm sorry, Arp. But you'll be spinning the big wheel soon.

Terra, take it away. ML spins first, then Arp, then devin.

Passed away.

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

OK, welcome back to TPIR's Showcase Showdown I will be your host again for this part of the show. You are trying to get close to $1.00 without going over in 1 spin or a combination of 2 spins. The person with the highest total that's not over $1 will go into the Showcase for a chance at winning some awesome prizes If you reach exactly $1.00, you will win $1000 and a bonus spin where you can win $5000 or $10000 more.

MajesticLight, you will spin first. Decide the strength of your spin by picking a number between 1 and 20.

Since this episode has already seen a gigantic number of delays, and it's also almost over... and due to MajesticLight not having been around in more than a week... I'm just gonna skip her and move on. Let's just say she spun 55 cents and decided to spin again, then hit 70 cents and went over. So, Arp will spin next. Sorry, ML.
