Frank's Price is Right: Episode 16--THE END

[Madonna]

He sure did, Alfonzo.. And I'm the one who had the honor of playing it!

[PriceFanArmadillo]

Yes, the first choice was right on his budget show.  No, it was not won.  In fact, when I first saw it, I was pretty sure the first price was the winner.  Unfortunately for Madonna, I didn't see it until they were on the second choice.  

[Mallory16]

That's Too Much was won on Episode 6, though, despite that the game was absolutely not intened to be won, with the right price ninth.

For those of you wondering what pricing game, besides Cliff Hangers, was played at least twice, yet never won, the answer is Master Key, with one key being won both times.  So good memories or good guesses for those of you who said that.  But no more silly questions:  it's time to start our show!

Rich:  Here it comes, from the Golden-Road.net forums online, the Internet's most exciting couple o' weeks of fantastic prizes:  the fabulous 20,160-minute Price is Right!

Alfonzo, come on down!

PriceFanArmadillo, come on down!

Madonna, come on down!

And CrimsonViper, come on down!  You are the first four contestants on The Price is Right!  And now, here is the star of The Price is Right, Frank!

*Frank enters the stage through the big doors.*

Welcome to The Price is Right!  Thank you, thank you, I thank you all for that wonderful, wonderful welcome!  At least I'm hoping it was wonderful.  Enough silliness, now, there is the first item up for bids today!

Rich:  A tasty-making barbecue.  From Pitt's & Spitt's, this Ultimate BBQ Pit with upright smoker is 96 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 75 inches tall, and features an offset firebox for log burning cooking through indirect heat.

And that barbecue will go to the one of you four who bids nearest to the actual retail price without going over.  Bid in dollars, please, because we round off our prices to the nearest dollar, and Crimson, you get the first bid of the day!

[CrimsonViper]

Yay!  I reign in the red spot once more!  

Funny enough, it's a new BBQ I can use to toast the Ducks... I'll try $1200.

[Madonna]

$1,500

[PriceFanArmadillo]

$2,700!

[Alfonzo]

$1,600

[Mallory16]

[color=FF0000]CrimsonViper:  $1200[/color]
[color=0000FF]Madonna:  $1500[/color]
[color=FF9900]PriceFanArmadillo:  $2700[/color]
[color=009900]Alfonzo:  $1600[/color]

All right, everyone has bid!  The actual retail price of the barbecue is...

$2395, the winner is Alfie!  And Alfie, as the winner, I want you to follow me back here to the big doors for our first game of the day, for a prize that you'll love!  Howdy, Alfie.  Now, this is our sixteenth show, is it not?  And what better way to start our sixteenth show than by giving you this!

Rich:  Oh Alfonzo, you now have a chance to win $10,000!

Ooh, Alfie!  Think of all the things you could buy with $10,000!  What would you get first?  Ooh, just thinking about all that makes me want you to win it, and hopefully you can playing Half Off!

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

Now, we have 16 boxes here.  One of those 16 boxes has $10,000 in it!  If you can pick out that box, it's yours!  Now, that might seem a little hard, since there are also 15 boxes that are empty.  So I'm going to show you two prizes.  One of them has the right price on it, but the other has a price that is half off.  If you can tell me which price is half off, we'll get rid of half the boxes, making your choice of box easier!  Then we'll show you two more prizes, and again, if you can tell us which price is half off, we'll get rid of half the boxes again, leaving only four boxes left.  And then two more prizes, and again, pick the one with a price that is half off and we'll get rid of half of the remaining boxes!  It's that easy, Fonzie, so let's do this!  Rich, tell us about these first two prizes!

Rich:  It's the Sharp R-310JW 1200 watt microwave oven with a 1.2 cubic foot capacity, lots of cooking and defrosting options, and lots of settings to choose from.

And the Dualit Lite 4-slice toaster, easy to remove small items, and automatically adjusts for bagels, buns, and muffins.

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

The microwave is marked at $90.  The toaster is marked at $80.  One of those prices is right.  The other is half off the actual price.  If you can tell me which prize's price is half off, you'll win the two prizes, but more importantly, we'll get rid of half the boxes!

[Alfonzo]

Because it's you Frank, I'll say the toaster.

[Mallory16]

All right... for some reason, Alfie feels it's the toaster for the sole reason that I'm hosting.  Why?  I don't know.  But is he right?  Is the toaster half off?

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

[color=009900]ding![/color]

Yes!  It's $160!  Take away half the boxes!

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

Now there are only eight boxes left, but let's make it easier by getting rid of half of those boxes.  Rich, please tell us about the next two prizes.

Rich:  Here we have the Nissan vacuum-insulated coffee press holds over a quart of coffee hot for hours.

And a pair of shoes from LifeStride, the women's Skimmer Dress Slingback are elegant high-heel shoes for those occasions that require the very best.

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

Coffee press, $25.  Shoes, $30.  Which one is half off?

[Alfonzo]

Shoes.

[Mallory16]

All right.  Are the shoes half off?

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]

Ooh, no, you missed that one.  The coffee press was $50.  But we can still get it down to four boxes if you can get this last pair right, so Rich, do your magic!

Rich:  Of course.  The KSB5 5-speed blender from KitchenAid with a 40-ounce pitcher works at any speed.

And the Soleus Air 120-blade power fan comes with three fan speeds and three wind modes, all selectable via a convenient remote control.

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

Blender, $65.  Fan, $48.  Again, which do you believe is half off?

[Madonna]

*sneaks up on stage and looks them over, then returns to her spot on Contestant's Row*

You call those high heels? I'll show you a high heel!

[Alfonzo]

Sticking to the right. Fan.

[Mallory16]

I hope you're right, Alfie!  Is that fan half off?

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

[color=FF0000]bonk![/color]

Oh, no, it was the blender that was half off.  The blender was $130.

[color=0000FF]*Image removed.[/color]

I won't lie, Alfie:  this is going to be tough.  Only one of those eight boxes have the $10,000 you seek.  So just tell me which box you think it is, and cross your fingers!
