Half the fun of watching 'It's Worth What?' (Tue., 8PM ET on NBC) is to see all the fun things they spotlight for the contestants to try and guess the prices of. This week, we fell madly in love with the submersible vehicles they spotlighted for the mother-daughter duo.The pair had to arrange the items in order from cheapest to most expensive, but they forgot one cardinal rule of automobiles: Luxury convertibles are always way more expensive than a recreational vehicle, even if it does convert into a fishing yacht.
While it sounds fun to be able to go below water in a convertible, the added need of scuba equipment takes some of the fun out of it, while the RV/yacht would probably blow your mind if you saw it while out on the water.. The dolphin diving recreational craft looked like the most fun. Where do we sign up for rides?
Two Contestants Walk Away With $80,000 on 'It's Worth What?' Premiere (VIDEO)

While it wasn't a million-dollar pay day, two women walked away with a pretty cool cash settlement in the inaugural installment of 'It's Worth What?' (Tue., 8PM ET on NBC). When their earnings reached $80,000, Melissa and Annabel struggled to feel a strong urge to keep playing.Even host Cedric the Entertainer's reminder that they could double that to $160,000 wasn't really swaying them. After all, if they were wrong on their next guess, their earnings would drop back to $10,000.
The format of the show has contestants trying to determine the values of various collectible and antique items. They have to then be able to compare two items and figure out which one is worth more money.
Cedric the Entertainer Previews New 'It's Worth What?' Game Show on 'The Talk' (VIDEO)

Anyone wondering what Cedric the Entertainer's new game show 'It's Worth What?' will actually look like got a preview Tuesday on 'The Talk' (weekdays, syndicated on CBS). Cedric gave the ladies a preview, challenging them to guess the prices of several items that could either be junk or expensive antiques.Cedric had with him two items -- a black velvet and white taffeta gown once worn by Princess Diana for a charity event in 1985, and an acoustic guitar signed by Elvis Presley. The hosts were charged with figuring out which item was worth more. Leah Remini was the tie-breaker, and went with the guitar.
The signed guitar was worth $30,000, a lot of money to be sure. But the dress was worth twice as much. Sharon Osbourne, who had voted for the dress, was not happy. Hopefully the contestants on Tuesday's 'Worth What?' premiere will be less contentious.
