There must be some physical law about balancing the number of automobiles won or lost on game shows in a particular day. Earlier today, a woman won two cars on 'The Price Is Right.' Today on 'Let's Make a Deal' (weekdays, syndicated), a couple lost out on two cars, choosing the sure thing in cash as opposed to what was behind a couple of curtains.

The couple, dressed as penguins, stuck with curtain 1 through a few different offers, including a bankroll of $1,020, a small mystery box, and curtain number 3. Curtain number 3 turned out to be a 2011 VW Jetta.


It finally came down to a choice between curtain number 1 and the bankroll. "Maybe a thousand-twenty is enough for a down payment on a car, because you just said you guys are newlyweds," said host Wayne Brady, offering the cash if they abandoned the curtain. Behind curtain number 1? A Nissan Versa. A thousand bucks may start to cover interest on their car loan, though.
