I knew it, but Craig sadly didn't. Because he was unable to get TUG OF WAR, he misses out on the sportscar. His one-day total is $23,485 and he will be back tomorrow to defend his title.
It would be a terrific help if anyone could identify the sportscar (the credits mentioned "Pontiac," so it is a Pontiac model) and/or the exact airdate. The episode is on DailyMotion.
