Rebecca had problems from the start. She pronounced her bid as "eleven-nine-nine-nine" meaning $11,999. Confused, Bob asked if this was what she wanted she said yes (you can see the contestant's reaction in the picture). Bob then explained it wouldn't fit in the display and proceeded to educate the nervous young woman on why her bid wouldn't work. After a few failed attempts she made it on stage to play Punch-a-Bunch (as seen in the TPIR Moments gallery) and made it to the showcase where she overbid by approximately double the showcase's value but as we know, Rebecca "likes to think big".
