They say 16 is sweet. Well, 16 could be sweet for a few people here because it is time for the 16th episode of "Fireball's Price Is Right"!
We've had a lot of fun on "Fireball's Price Is Right" over the last 4 1/2 years. We've given away lots of cash and prizes. We've had lots of great moments, from the miracle wins to the evil pricing game setups. But most of all, we've had dozens of great contestants. Hey, if it wasn't for all of you, this show would never have had the amazing run that it has had.
But as another old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. So it is with a heavy heart that I announce that I will be retiring as host of "The Price Is Right" after this episode. As many of you know, I am currently in my final semester of seminary studies. This means that my graduation and my ordination as a pastor is just a few months away. And that, my friends, will make it nearly impossible for me to maintain a regular presence on this forum. I have to move on eventually, and I believe this is the right time to do so.
Now, given all of that, what do you say we make this 16th and final episode the best one ever? In order to make this the best episode ever, I need the best contestants ever. I'm going to do something that I have never done in all of my years of hosting TPIR. I'm going to put on my Stan Blits hat and hold auditions for TPIR contestants. In the past, all of you simply had to post in order to be considered to be a contestant and then you would be placed into a drawing. This time, you'll have to earn your way into Contestants Row.
In order to be considered for this series finale, you must write in your post why you want to be on the show. The best and most creative people will have the best chance of being on the show.
And now, for the final time, here are The Rules®:
1. Potential contestants must meet the eligibility requirements, as posted in the Rules page on this subforum, in order to participate on the show.
2. Deadlines to bid, play your PG, or spin the Big Wheel is 48 hours. Miss your deadline and you're out.
3. I'll PM all contestants who are called to come on down. From then on, it's your responsibility to watch this thread.
4. Audience participation (i.e., yelling out prices and other suggestions) is strongly encouraged.
5. Good luck, have fun, and party like it's 1999 2012!
I'll accept audition tapes until Monday afternoon at 4 PM Eastern.
