Ellen's "Road to Riche$" Game Week Streaks Across the Finish Line!

Like the Grand Prize -- a Honda Civic Hybrid -- the grand finale of Ellen's "Road to Riche$" game week was also a hybrid -- half hilarious, half incredibly exciting!

I love this show. I am so hooked on the show that whenever I go out I make sure that I tape it. I am a 61 year old with alot of ups and downs in my live, but when I watch the show it really picks me up and I laugh hysterically. Thank you Ellen for uplifting my life. I love to see your mom on the show.
she is a riot.. I think this show is awesome for anyone age group. Thank you for being you!!!!

Hi all,
I was watching the clip over and over. The lady that won had her hand on the key first, the other lady grabbed it and the winner pulled it free. So the car did go to the winner. Ellen would never allow a big mistake like that. Watch it again and watch where the lady in lavender's hands are.
thanks for years of entertainment, Ellen!

oh ellen how wrong was the episode where you gave the car away. The woman who won it grabbed the key out of the other womans hand and then said the wrong sentence. She said bride not ride. Totally unfair. You should do something for the
other woman. Sorry

Ellen, The lady in black jerked it out of hand of the lady in lavender. That is not fair... You should do something about it. I cannot make it to where you are, but could you give away another Honda Civic, but I would love the color red.

Ellen-

Love your show.

On your Road to Riches game, to me it clearly looked like the woman in black reached for the key first but it's hard to tell if she got it first. She did say the sentence correctly though. I'm just wondering if a different game could have been played.

Congratulations on your Emmy but I was disappointed your show didn't win.

Posted by ella | July 1, 2008 8:26 PM

I agree with Lori Bue 100%
I stared at that clip over and over and it is clear that the lady in the black got to the key first.

Ellen would have pointed it out if there was cheating.

I just want to know if the home viewers that win stuff actually received it???. I won a 32 inch tv on Feb. 26th 2008 for the Oscar Pool Party and I have not received it. I'm sure it was me. First and last name with city and state were on the web site and announced on tv. I have not received this. I have a brother that is a vet dieing of cancer and a mother that is house bound with Parkensons and can't walk. So this was going to be a great item for them as well as me. I take care of them 24 7 and a bigger tv was going to be ideal for them. I guess you can't expect to win or even receive the prize. Post your commits if you actually won and received your prize.

Ellen, I waited with bated breath to see the American Idol runner-up, David Archuleta, interviewed and singing on your show to no avail. WHY?? You've had every other contestant on but him! What's with that?

There millions of us out here who voted our fingers off, LOVE David A. and his music, and are avidly following his career. We want to see the two of you together. You may prefer Cook, but my guess is that you'll decide David A. is better than you thought when you hear him sing on your show. Please get him on as soon as possible! I know the tour is starting, but it will end in September, a perfect time to feature him.

I can't understand your dissing a sweet kid like David. You had everyone else and their dog on. He would be nothing but friendly and kind to you and yours. David sings like an angel and is sweet as pie, cute as they come. Pleeze!! David Archuleta as soon as possible! Pleeze!!

Dear Ms. Degeneres,
I am sorry to have to disagree with the others, however, I also have TIVO and when reviewing the game (one second at a time), it is clear the woman in the black jump suit had her hand on the key first and the other woman put her hand on top of hers. When the woman in black was lifting the key off of the table, the other woman's hand slid from on top of hers and grabbed on to the key CHAIN (you know, the shoe). The woman in black was simply pulling it away as was the other woman trying to do.
I look forward to your show every day. Thank you for your work with animals. I too am an animal lover. Congratulations on the Emmys!
Sincerely, Lori
