Sale of the Century SYN Week 14

[@Davey-it6fq]

Jim Perry is awesome! He has so much energy and so gracious to the guests. I think I wanted to be him when I was little...I would have loved to be slapped in a Botany 500 and host a glamourous quiz show!

[@marshalljimduncan]

TIME!

[@DBR00]

The judge probably has a sore throat after a full day of taping!

[@JJJBRICE]

Alice was a librarian so she did a lot of reading .

[@nextbarker2702]

To my knowledge, this was the only quiz show where only one players was permitted to answer a question, minus the fame game questions

[@richardhernandez4490]

29:43: Great decision Steve.

[@richardhernandez4490]

29:21: Jim Perry was very VERY desperate with that Instant Bargain. "$825 for $10. Now, neither one of you even have your hands on the buzzer. I wanna sell something! $9...8...7... I haven't sold anything in so---Alice didn't---I've lost the knack. 6... Elizabeth get your hand up there. (Elizabeth puts her hand on the podium). ONE BUCK!"

[@linnag1210]

Alice was a beast, the other contestants dont even stand a chance and only managed score of $25

[@GanbaMagus]

"Of course, she never buys...we'll be right back, I don't care!" *Alice grabs the money* "GIMME MY MONEY!!!"

[@nextbarker2702]

@28:50, eventually that cue would be heard on the WB

[@UrsusTheodorusdoesGameShows]

You won $3000 cash!

[@danbarker4857]

@28:48, future WB music makes its debut here

[@JohnMossSF]

This music had been used in Instant Bargains since at least '83.

[@leslieholman3121]

Smartest person I ever saw

[@DNSKansas]

Ken Jennings and James Holzhauser would have wiped the floor with Alice.

[@RecoveringGenius]

@@DNSKansas Man I gotta see those two guys ....because this lady is a machine... she looks unbeatable... But, you could be right. Lots of Boxers look unbeatable against bums. So, it's possible.

[@Dizzyskyline]

I wonder what happened to Alice after all these years. Never saw or heard of thos show growing up during this era. Maybe they'll bring it back.

[@Davey-it6fq]

Idk Alice has some great competitors for her final show to win the cash and prizes. We shall see who makes championship!

[@gladfan1989]

If Alice still has those gold coins, they'd be worth almost $43,000 today.

[@bobhoward6676]

4-4-22 27oz's gold costs 58,050 delivered.

[@Pinkblueflowerlady]

Irwin was goodlooking back then but why did he buy that watch lol .

[@davidwesson6381]

She wanted to walk away with the whole kit & Kaboodle.

[@DNSKansas]

Alice was so joyless she makes Bill Belichick look like the funniest man on earth.

[@Sabintribal]

Jesus, FINALLY she's gone. I hate contestants like that. Including on Jeopardy.

[@MrBowtie1982]

amen. she was arrogant and cocky. never bought anything which was fine but she was just thinking she was better than everyone.

[@Brandon-gf6mr]

@@MrBowtie1982 that’s called, reading into shit that isn’t there. Great at what she was doing so that equals arrogant. Such stupid bullshit, but where am I surprised?

[@Saskinny]

So people who do very well at something earns hatred from you? You must be educated beyond your intelligence.

[@bodyloverz30]

@@MrBowtie1982 She was better than everyone!

[@DNSKansas]

Alice was so nauseating. She should have at least bought the last instant bargain. She had much more than enough to get the fuck out of there even if she bought that instant bargain at the end. I'm wondering how many times the producers had to tell Alice to smile. I'm wondering how many segments had to be re-shot because Alice looked like the grim reaper.

[@SaleGuy]

Michael got screwed over.

[@erikdraven1731]

+Leslie Bell Not you too. I would love to hear your reasoning behind this, but I am pretty sure it would sound almost exactly like what SALE OF THE CENTURY has been rambling about. Unless you are one in the same in which case I would suggest you give it a rest!

[@JohnMossSF]

+erikdraven1731 I have to agree. Unless someone has concrete, absolutely genuine proof that Alice Conkright was a ringer, then it's time for this controversy to end. Jim stressed on multiple occasions that deciding to play on was always a risk, and I've heard other contestants who decided to walk point out that there is always someone bigger, stronger, faster, and smarter lurking on the horizon. If you're going to take a $72,000+ gamble, I'm sure that this has crossed your mind.

[@erikdraven1731]

+John Moss And to dispute the claims even further, it is well known that if the network had even the slightest suspicion that a ringer was being brought in, SOTC would've been cancelled faster than a postage stamp.

[@darrendoyle568]

Alice won fair and square shouldn’t be ridiculed for being smart fast and conservative not wanting to buy instant bargains like Jim always it was always a risk that was more true when the winners board came along

[@darrendoyle568]

Also if Alice had been slated to play a game or two after Michael he probably would’ve won

[@nextbarker2702]

@1:15.34, Did anyone notice the SALE SURPRISE logo was GREEN?
