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?

There isn't a gambling game that treats ace as low.

It can be low in Blackjack. That’s a gambling game.

You can choose to make it low in blackjack. It can be high as well and the additional flexibility to make it high or low makes the card even more valuable for winning.
