"Here it comes, television's most exciting hour of fantastic prizes! Celebrating its 25th year on CBS, the fabulous 60-minute Price is Right!"
========================================================================================
IUFB #1: The Dink 8-foot Sailboat
Esmeralda: $1,200
Ray: $651 (one-upping that nonexistent $650 bid)
Ernest: $952 (301-upping? okay...)
Martha: $1,400
ARP: $1,445
Martha is our first player of the day, and her game is Hi Lo for a trip to Switzerland (RT coach to Zurich, 6N stay) valued at $4,346!
The grocery items on hand today are Range Kleen reflector bowls, Ascriptin aspirin, Little Debbie Banana Twins (box), Chock Full O' Nuts coffee (small can), Wisk detergent (small box), and Topol Plus whitening toothpaste.
Martha's first pick for the Hi row is Wisk... it's $3.32 in price.
Next, she takes the Ascriptin... at $6.49 a box, that's probably a good pick!
She rounds out the top shelf with the Topol Plus... its tag says $4.49.
LOWEST PRICE ON HI ROW: $3.32 (Wisk)
We go to the reflector bowls... oh no, they're $3.69!
The Banana Twins were $1.09 and the coffee $2.99, so that was her lone mistake, but even one is too many.

IUFB #2: Monopoly Collector's Edition (Franklin Mint, hardwood playing surface)
Pius: $350
Esmeralda: $500
Ray: $550 (at least Esmeralda's still in it)
Ernest: $551 (have a seat, Ray)
ARP: $555
Ernest is up on stage to play Squeeze Play for a big-screen TV (RCA 60-inch projection model with picture-in-picture capability)!
INITIAL SETUP: 32699
Ernest decides to remove the 9, squeezing his way to a guess of $3,269.
PRICE OF THE TV: $3,299
LOSS
========================================================================================
IUFB #3: Baker's Rack (I.W.I. International), plus a supply of Garlique to the winner
Peggy Sue: $975
Pius: $1,100
Esmeralda: $1,350
Ray: $1,275 (a 75-down? He must think he's got it nailed...)
ARP: $1,488
Esmeralda is third out of Contestants' Row, just in time to play Dice Game for a Mercury Sable (standard features, equipment package 450A, anti-lock brakes, CD changer, conventional spare tire, California emission)!
Esmeralda is shown the first number in the price... it's a 2.
She rolls the first die for the second number - up comes a 2, which is wrong, and she goes higher.
For the third number, over the line comes a 1, which is correct!
Her third roll, looking for the fourth number, is 4, and that's right too!
The last number we hope matches her roll of 2. It doesn't, so she goes higher.

ARP: $1,375
Pius, a retired mayor from Canada who's also celebrating 50 years of marriage, gets to play Poker Game for a silver punch bowl set (Wallace Silversmiths), a chenille sofa (Alan White Co.), an air rowing machine (Tunturi), and a cedar hope chest (Scottsdale Art Factory)!
Pius picks the air rower first... it's $799 which makes a good start!
Paired with that, he takes the punch set, which is $750 in price.
PIUS' CURRENT HAND: 99775 (two pair)
He chooses to keep that hand, so we leave the other two prizes for the house.
The sofa is $799 as well - this may not be looking good...
and the chest is $975... not good indeed.
HOUSE'S HAND: 99977 (full house)

Third down the board starts in spot 7 (right under the K) and hits the same $500 space. ($1,000 total)

Richard is shown the middle number in the price of the car... it is 6. Let's see the board:
23 17 82
19 77 50
65 15 94
For his first pick, Richard takes the 23... that's just $23 in cash though, as we see a dollar sign.
Next, he tries 94... there's a dollar sign there too, putting him at $117 but no closer to the car.
Richard goes to 19, hoping to see the front half of the car... it's a dollar sign again, he's at $136 now and in danger of losing.
Trying to keep himself alive, he tries 65 - it's the back of the car! $ _ _ , 6 6 5 ($136 - 23/94/19)
For the make-or-break pick, Richard wants the 17 - and he found the front of the car! $ 1 7 , 6 6 5 ($136 - 23/94/19)
WIN (Total Winnings: $17,801 - car plus $136 cash)
