The daring contestant determined to stay along with his reply, and Carey accepted it (although the manufacturing workforce was unable to show the $1 million guess on the rostrum because the quantity was too giant).
Obviously, Nicholas’s ridiculous response didn’t repay. The exercise gear’s precise retail worth ended up being $1,798.
