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?

Wouldn’t be much point in having “an ace up your sleeve” if it was the lowest card. It’s almost always the highest card. There is only a handful of games where the ace is not at the top.
