8/7 Quick News & Notes

-Had it not been for their three successful steals during the FC last night, Cory Antonado's team would NOT have won their bank on "The Chase".
-On the original version of the show in the U.K., correct answers in the CB were worth 1K Pounds. The practice of awarding teams an extra step in the second half of the FC when The Chaser missed a Q that they later got right on 0 Steps didn't start until their third season. In celebrity episodes, those who lost in the FC got 1K each for their charities & 20K was put in the pot for the FC if all four stars had been caught in an episode before the FC.
-When the practice of showing off won Pricing Game cars (& later, big cash prizes on rare occasions) during the credits semi-permanently took effect on the 11/2/09 episode of "The Price is Right", a KIA Soul did an encore appearance the first two occasions (that episode & the Thanksgiving Eve show). On the former occasion (11/2/09), it was in Door #3; on the latter, it was in #2. The 11/4/09 Showcase winner had swept Master Key, but her Honda Fit didn't appear again (because the movers hadn't learned how to get the cars directly off the spinning platform at the time). Also, Lucky $even is the only PG to date during this era that has had an automobile reappear in one of The Big Doors even though it wasn't behind either of the three during gameplay.
-Paula Deen will definitely NOT be a part of "dancing with the stars" next season.
