One problem with your recap. The game FORTUNE HUNTER.

I watched that episode, and have it on tape even. They did not show the
prices of the prizes, so I don't know how you knew what they were first
of all.

Secondly, one of the clues said, eliminate the ONE prize that had 3
digits, yet clearly in your post you put $640 for stemware and $749 for
Rockers, which would mean that not ONE but TWO prizes had 3 digits. Can
somebody clarify for me this? I really am beginning to HATE this new game
VERY MUCH.

True. As Jeremy has complained repeatedly, they should be showing the prices
at game's end for the sake of the viewers seeing as many like he are playing
along, and to justify the clues given. It would also have confirmed your
second comment about the two three-digit prices. You're probably right but
until I see differently I'll go with what I posted.

They don't make it easy for us, do they?

>so I don't know how you knew what they were first of all.

Quite simple, really. Inspired by Robair and Jeremy I have hept my own record
of every show since the 1995-96 season (except one in Nov. '95 because my VCR
was recording QVC by mistake!). Using the "advanced search" function in Word
is a big help, too.
