(cheers and applause)

Nice to have you here, stardf29! Now, George has something he would like to say to you. Tell us, George!



GEORGE: How would you like to win...A NEW CAR! (The Bean Stalker) (Amber models it) (cheers and applause) It's a 2012 Buick Verano CX, the luxury compact sedan with more to discover. Comes with standard features, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 6-speed automatic transmission, AM/FM/CD stereo with 6-disc CD changer and SiriusXM Satellite Radio, OnStar roadside assistance, dual climate control, cargo net and engine block heater. This is the Buick Verano!

Thanks, Amber! Now stardf29, you're going to play the Card Game for that lovely car. First, we will use this special deck of cards that will determine how close you'll have to be to the actual retail price without going over. Pick a number between 1 and 7.

[stardf29]

Hoo boy, that's not a car I'm familiar with, but I'll see how I do on it regardless...

3.

[Teddy]

And the card you selected is...

$2,000

...$2,000. So that means you must be within $2,000 of the actual retail price without going over. Now, I will give you this deck of oversized playing cards. You will use these cards to bid on the car. Kings, queens and jacks are $1,000. The numbered cards are multiples of $100, and aces are wild; you can make them any amount you wish, and play them anytime. I will start you off with a bid of $15,000.

15000

DING!

To draw a card, just enter a number from 1 to 52. If you want to quit, tell me then.

[stardf29]

Teddy, I have PM'd you with instructions on how I want to proceed, but basically, if it's okay, I would like you to draw cards for me until my total hits at least $24,000 or I draw an ace.

[Teddy]

Well, I never expected this, but that's fine by me. I will draw the cards for you, then. First number is: 27, a 3 of hearts. We'll add $300 to your bid.

15300

DING!

Next number is: 2, a 4 of clubs.

15700

DING!

$15,700 is your bid now. Your next draw is: 43, an 8 of spades. Let's add $800 to the bid, please.

16500

DING!

Next up, you have: 12, a 6 of clubs.

17100

DING!

You're at $17,100. Remember, you must be within $2,000 of the actual retail price without going over. Your next draw is: 45, a 5 of diamonds.

17600

DING!

$17,600. And you have drawn: 4, an 8 of hearts.

18400

DING!

You're at $18,400. Another draw, and we have: 7, a 2 of hearts.

18600

DING!

We could be here for a while! (light laughter) Your next draw is: 1, a king of clubs. $1,000 more to the bid...

19600

DING!

...brings it to $19,600. And you have drawn: 49, a 10 of hearts. Another $1,000.

20600

DING!

Your bid is now $20,600, and you must be within $2,000 of the actual retail price without going over. Another draw, and we get: 33, a 3 of diamonds.

20900

DING!

And you will draw another card, which is: 44, a queen of clubs.

21900

DING!

$21,900 is your bid. Your next draw is: 51, a 5 of spades.

22400

DING!

You're now up to $22,400. And now, you have drawn: 31, a 6 of spades.

23000

DING!

You're at $23,000 even. You've now drawn: 46, a jack of spades.

24000

DING!

And since you're stopping at that, I will read you the price that I have in my hand. Your bid is $24,000; you must be within $2,000 without going over. And the actual retail price of that Buick Verano is: Wow! I don't believe this, but it was $23,876.

OVER

BUZZ!/Losing Horns

(audience groans)

You were over by only $124. You had the right idea, but just the wrong stopping point. I'm so sorry you didn't win, but the Wheel will make up for your disappointment.

(applause)

(TPIR Theme 2007)

What an agonizing loss that was! We'll try to do better after this.

(SN: For the special deck, I used the List Randomizer from www.random.org, and for the regular deck of 52, I used the Playing Card Shuffler from the same Website.)

[Teddy]

Welcome back to The Price is Right! As hard as it is to believe, there's time for only one more contestant. Who will it be?

GEORGE: Well Teddy, it's going to be Hag, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!

(Walking 2007)

(cheers and applause)

Welcome to Contestant's Row, Hag! Now you're our final contestant of the day, so you only get one chance to bid; make it count. Here's the prize.



GEORGE: Everyone look up as the next prize comes down, it's an HD camcorder. (Bhen IUFB Cue) (camcorder lowers on rotating silver platter) (applause) Shoot all of your home movies in crystal-clear HD with this camcorder, which includes panoramic view and light control for better pictures in dark areas.

BIDDING ORDER: Hag, Flerbert419, cornelius, RCPlanes59

Hag, you get the first bid!

[Hag]

$900.

[stardf29]

...

I guess I'm just glad I wasn't playing for an actual car, so I can just laugh this off.
