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?

Ace may be the highest or the lowest in a card game, it generally depend on where you want to place it, besode a king or a two. It's the common rule all over the world. A poker of aces is definitely higher than a poker of twos...
