Favourite Price is Right Game

I had no idea this forum was so full of old ladies.

There's a game where there are 4 prizes and the player has 4 diff cards with different prices on them. The person has to match the correct price to the correct prize in 30 seconds. They have to run to the prizes and then run back and pull a lever and it tells how many they have right. Then they go back and redo their guesses. It's so funny because people get so flustered that they have no idea what is going on. I'm not sure if i've ever seen anybody win at that game.

The thing I always hated about the price is right is the showcase showdown. There is usually a 8-10k difference in pricing between the 2 showcases. One person gets a car and some other cool things, the other person usually gets like a trip, some carpet, and some denture supplies or something [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Wasn't it golden road that had the sweet prizes?

The correct answer is obviously Plinko, but my fondest memory is of the Dollar Game...for those not familiar, you get $7 to start, and you have to guess the digits in the price of a car. For each number you are off, you have to give Bob a dollar back. If you have $1 (or more) left at the end, you get to "buy" the car for a dollar.

This woman was on several years ago, just nailing number after number, dead on. She gets to the last number, and has $6 left (you can see where this is going). She only has to guess "5" for auto-car, but instead guesses "2". The number is 8, and she loses.

I seem to recall thinking that this was the one game that I would pray I didn't get if I was a contestant...

A little tip for you all: The top prize is always in a corner.

I always liked the one where the contestant and Barker's Beauties always wound up naked in the back of the station wagon covered in baby oil. I always wanted to play that game. With Nikki Zierling.

Hey, how come people who guess $1 in the pricing game never bet a different amount? What's the harm in saying "$8?" If I ever was in that situation where the first three bidders way overbid, I would bid something crazy like $69, cause no way is anything that they're bidding on going to be less than $69. Plus I'd get to say "$69, Bob." That could make for a priceless TPIR moment.

Who's bankrolling my trip to Television City so I can say "$69, Bob"?

I love Plinko because you can get paid big money easily playing that game. Its all in how the chip falls, really.
