Man I was just finishing my junior year in high school when this aired! What an awesome experience I’m sure that was!!!! You got to meet my inspiration for going into broadcast journalism!!!! RIP Bob!
12:25 -- Oh I've seen this played out so many times at the time...the first Showcase contestant is found to be way under their bid and react like now they got no chance...but forgets that the other guy can go OVER!
Jason, as the first contestant called, you had the choice of which podium to go to. You did the right thing by going to the last one, which gave you the advantage for the first one-bid. You don't know how many stupid contestants don't make that choice and pick any podium willy-nilly. Speaking as a fellow contestant from 1997.
The rule change You can be contestant on the prices right again . Before the rules was that you can only be a contestant one time, but after Drew took over, you can be a contestant every 10 year from the tape date

Also for each of those 2 Showcases, I would have guessed the following.
1st Showcase: $12,800
2nd Showcase: $16,500
