Voltaire didn't get called down on last night's show, but his friend Adam Rose did. If you watched the show and looked just to the right of contestants row, you saw a Filipino guy wearing a Maryland T-shirt. That was Voltaire.
Adam won his way on stage in the final act. He played Grand Game for $20,000 in cash. He had to pick four grocery products worth under $7.00. He did successfully. Grand Game was not the special $1,000,000 game of the night; that $1M game was played earlier and not won.
Adam won his way into the showcases with the best spin(s) on the Big Wheel.
On Drew's TPIR Million-Dollar Specials, the leeway to win both showcases is $1,000 instead of the daytime leeway of $250. Plus, a double showcase winner wins $1,000,000. Adam's showcase was Carabella swimwear, an AquaCat 12.5' catamaran, and a Cadillac XLR convertible. From the audience, Voltaire flashed a bid of $83,475, which Adam took.
Actual retail price: $84,355--a difference of
$880! Adam won it all! Over $1,150,000 in cash and prizes! Voltaire ran on stage to help celebrate.
So when Voltaire told me that he was gonna be on stage... well, technically, he was right.
