00:03But she's risking it all against two new competitors,
00:06hoping to win a trip to New York City and VIP tickets
00:09to Broadway.
00:12Who will make it to Shopper's Paradise?
00:14Will it be our champion?
00:15I'm Rossi Morielli, and we'll find out today
00:17on Temptation, the new sale of the century.
00:21I said, if you can't buy the Temptation,
00:26can you hear it call?
00:28Temptation.
00:29Temptation.
00:34Our shoppers today are Ashlynn, our three-time returning
00:37champion, Carmen, a small business consultant
00:40who admits she's not offended if a salesperson doesn't
00:42know her name as long as they know her dress size,
00:46and Lisa, a stock market investor
00:48who admits she's not afraid to use her trading techniques
00:51to get the best bargain.
00:52Ladies, welcome to the show.
00:55Here's how we play the game.
00:56First, I'm going to start you off each with $20 Temptation
00:58dollars. There you go. Now we're gonna play a series of games to help you win
01:02some more shopping cash. Periodically, I'm gonna tempt whoever's in the lead into
01:07spending that cash on some incredible bargains. Now can you resist temptation
01:11to keep the lead or will you give in to my efforts and take the guaranteed
01:15prize? I don't know, but it comes down to one thing. Whoever has the most cash at
01:19the end of the show wins and gets to go on the shopping spree of a lifetime
01:22right here at Shopper's Paradise. Now ladies, we're gonna start things off with
01:28a speed round. Each question's worth five temptation dollars. Here we go. Hands on
01:32your buzzers. 30 seconds on the clock. Time starts now. Which saccharin-based
01:39sugar substitute comes in a pink package? Ashlyn. Sweet and Low. Yes. The Almond Joy

02:05Female. No, male. If a store sends you their quarterly catalog... Lisa. Chris. Oh no.
02:13Four is what we're looking for. Time is up. The question would have been, if a store
02:17sends you their quarterly catalog, how many will you receive in 12 months? Four.
02:21I know, it would have been better with the whole question. Ladies, first round, just
02:25getting started. Now that time means it's time for Instant Bargain. Carmen and
02:30Ashlyn, you are tied and only the player in the lead can get in on bargain
02:33merchandise. So whichever one of you buzzes in first when I reveal the
02:36temptation price will get your hands on this. This bargain will bring you a touch
02:41of class starting with this lambskin evening clutch bag. It's the perfect
02:45accessory for any occasion and you'll look like a million dollars in this
02:49jewelry collection from Simon 2 Jewelry Gallery in New York City. It includes a
02:54pearl necklace and earrings made of fresh water and cultured pearls. Store
02:58them in this leather wrapped jewelry box with pull-out travel cases. This classy
03:03bargain retails for $952. But your price today is only 10 temptation dollars.
03:11No, no takers. No. I really want the trip to New York. Mm-hmm. What's your excuse?
03:19Exactly. There's no good excuses. This is a great deal. $9. We just started. Did you? I know.
03:26Exactly. We did just start. A lot of game to play. $8. A ton of game to play. A lot
03:30of questions to play. $7. $7 for jewelry and a clutch bag. $6.
03:36So cute, so sweet, so devious. Alright ladies, it's time to make some more cash.
03:46So you got a nice prize. Yes. Congrats. Thank you. Let's play the fame game. Ashlyn, so cute.
03:53Alright ladies, here's how we play the fame game. Looking for a famous person,
03:57place, or thing. The first one of you three to buzz in with the correct answer
04:01gets to add 15 temptation dollars to your shopping account, which at this
04:04point will put any one of you in the lead. And ladies remember, make sure you
04:07say all the words up here on the board. Here we go. My early days were spent in
04:12foster homes and orphanages. My final days remain a mystery.

05:43rest of the round, which will allow your opponents a chance to keep going and
05:46raking up all the cash. We're going to do this one at a time until all three of
05:49you are locked out or all the cash is off the board. Lisa, are you ready? Yes,
05:53I am. Are you familiar with Saturday Night Live? Yes, I am. All right. What do
05:56you think? Gilda Radner. Gilda Radner. Yes, two dollars. There you go. All

07:24are those worth? There you go. There are 10 and 15. So 35 dollars left up on the

08:25seconds to decide starting right now. One dollar. Carmen, you can overcome one dollar.
08:31Surely. I love it. Ladies, it's time for a speed round. Here we go. That's a great
08:47deal, Carmen. You got to go for it. All right, ladies, this speed round is a little bit
08:51different because you can only give me one of two answers. They are man or woman.
08:56I know. I'm gonna read you a list of inventions. You have to tell me if it was
09:01invented by a man or a woman. When you buzz in, just say man or woman. If you
