The was the most hilarious and frightening thing to happen on The Price is Right in recent years. Full stop. I was laughing and concerned at the same time. I feel like all the hugging and lifting is fine because for the most part, contestants know how much they can handle, but I think it's inconsiderate to hang onto Drew expecting him to hold them because they don't know if Drew can handle it or is ready for it. Glad everything ended up okay.

Speaking of, those lights must be designed to give away easily, since Amber broke that one a few seasons ago and wasn't hurt.
Amber was lucky not to be hurt. The lights around the doors are actual bulbs and Amber shattered one.

The lights around the stage's edge seem to be some LED light inside of a plastic ball, similar to what's on top of a Playstation Move controller (as a friend aptly described). There have been numerous instances of contestants grabbing, pressing down on, pushing, and knocking down those lights as they make their way on stage and look for something to hold as a railing. Those lights do indeed seem to be designed to easy be jostled and roughly treated because of where they're located.

The shuffling of weeks is weird, but it's nice that we can see some of these somewhat rare games so soon.

I'm starting to get sick of contestants overpricing that tiny hair trimmer and the copper sleeve. One is small enough to fit in my pocket and the other one is a sleeve. A. Sleeve. Sigh.

Luckily Drew appears to be fine after being taken to the ground today. If not for the light border he could've definitely fallen off the stage. First George with the treadmill and now this.

Drew should be able to handle being taken down, after all, he is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame.  :-)

Drew's fall didn't feel like fun vs the other bloopers over the years.  Also, I can't believe this show is offering $13,000 cars in 2018.  Am I the only one that feels this way?  Roger always avoided the really cheap cars because he didn't want the show to look cheap.  Why are the trips to Europe $12k and Cars are $13/$14K?  Also, have you noticed that in PtB the car hides behind #1 and #6 a lot?  Again, contestants seem to avoid the ends and pick #'s in the middle and the show counts on that.

There was nothing hilarious about this at all.  There's no reason for these over-caffeinated to throw Drew to the ground and then act like they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.  Perhaps this will cause the producers to look over their selection process again.

I think if Drew had a serious problem with that, then he'd keep away a little more. It was an accident. Most of us found it funny. He found it funny when he got up.

You must have seen a different version of it than I did.  Aside from smiling a bit uneasily, he certainly didn't laugh like he does when he finds things funny.  But, I guess, one man's funny is another man's obnoxious, so I'll leave it at that.

It's been 2 weeks. I remember him smiling after. He seemed a bit uneasy, but I think he laughed it off.
