HERE'S JOHNNY!

After getting the first Johnny (Depp), Toby goes DDH in the middle of What an Ice Party...it hasn't been found yet, but we start the Worst Cars w/ this $800 clue:

The DMC-12 by this maker "...was heavy, underpowered...and overpriced" & didn't really go back to 1955 when it hit 88 mph (I've seen it as a prop on the Universal Orlando lot when "Wheel" was taping there & "Price" had offered one at least once in the early '80s).

Mark: "What is a DeLorean?" ($4,600)

$1K:

While "not particularly" a bad car, this Ford model "...tended to erupt in flame in rear-end collisions" (& is also a kind of bean; it was last offered on "Price" on the Christmas '79 episode as part of a three-car Showcase & was also seen on "Dealer's Choice").

Toby: "What's the Pinto?" ($1,200)- FIRST BREAK (Ken: $1,800)

$600:

This Soviet-bloc brand "...had a rear-window defroster-- reportedly to keep your hands warm (as) you pushed it" (I've only heard of those being available on "Classic Concentration" & Alex started to laugh towards the end of that answer).

Toby: "What was the Yugo?" ($2,400)

He then has the DD parked in the center of Animal Care; he's $1K behind Ken & $1,800 behind Mark. Toby makes this a TDD:

Vets discourage this procedure unless absolutely necessary; it severs tendons & can make kitty a biter.

"What is de-clawing?"...meow, meow for 56 bills!

$400:

The "cheap" Gremlin from this three-letter co. had "...vacuum-operated windshield wipers, no less" (they also made Jeeps for a while, plus the Hornet, Spirit & Eagle; this is also the abbreviation of the cable TV home of "Mad Men").

Toby: "What is AMC?" ($6K)

$200:

This '58 Ford model "...was the first victim of Madison Avenue hyper-hype."

Toby: "What is the Edsel?" ($6,200)

At the end of this J! R, he's hit $7K & has a $2K lead over Mark; Ken's not too that far back at $4,600.

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $1K (What an Ice Party)
UNATTEMPTED LT: $1,600
TOTAL LT: $2,600

SO "CAL"

Mark picks a DD on the fourth Feel Not-So-Good Movie w/ $6,200 & is currently trailing Toby for 1st place by the face value of the clue he's about to see ($1,600); Ken's got five large. The latest "giant killer" on this show places a $3K bet:

Title guy loses best friend in Vietnam; his mom dies, too; finally gets his dream girl, but guess what? She dies!

"What is 'Forrest Gump'?"...I just heard it on "Hollywood Game Night" last night- yep to move into the lead for the moment w/ $9,200! I doubt Billions of People will hear about Toby finding the week's final one in its $2K box while $9,400's in his pot; he's trailing Mark by three G-spots. Actually...he wagers seven:

5B Earthlings were on the globe in this 1980s yr. when the stock market crashed on "Black Monday".

"What was 1987?"...exactly right!

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $1,600 (Guinness Records)
