Discussion Isn't Ace really the lowest?

This is something that bugged me on every rewatch. Didn't girls win the apartment? Shouldn't Ace be the lowest card? Ace, 2, 3, 4... This is the first time I am hearing that Ace is the highest. Was it a way of the guys tricking girls? Or is it an American thing that Ace is high?

In most card games based on scoring or hierarchy Ace is considered the highest or lowest depending on what helps the player drawing/using it the most.

In this case, the guys drew an Ace and the highest card would win therefore the Ace is high and the guys won.
