Here's a few tips when you use Google in order to find an episode:
-Use key terms in quotes. Knowing the bids of the contestants, the contestant's name, and the ARP of the IUFB, you could get 6 terms to put in quotes: "650" "1000" "801" "800" "1,375" "Cathy"
-Know to just search certain websites. You best bets for classic episodes are qwizx.com and golden-road.net. You can search the website specifically by typing site:website.com in a search engine.
-Just look at the overall 2-line description Google gives you. That can help determine if you are in the right.

Any case, here is the link to a QWIZX and Joe_Capitano recap.

Episode #4945K, aired 10/9/2009. That just goes to show that if you are doing a crime, you don't get on a gameshow to expose yourself. That reminds me of a similar event, when a criminal actually won on Super Password.
"If any show, forget sports, Price is Right, [the audience is] the star of the show. Somebody... coming on down and losing their minds, and ... crying, that's the show. The show isn't me, the show isn't necessarily [a] can of soup, how much that is, it's watching people go bananas, and there's going to be some of that missing."

"I honestly thought the doubler was gone, but 9821 going $0 makes sense"

Thanks, TPIRfan#9821.  I normally don't post here but given that I never get to watch the show I always come here to review the recaps. 

The negative reactions made me take a deep breath with each post because the other posters assumed I knew how to do things.  Turns out, I was clueless.

I just came back from LA to see a show and already I'm planning to go back in February.  I know there are a lot of people on this forum who got to "come on down" and I also have the gist of what the contestant coordinators look for in choosing who gets to site in contestants row.  One way to describe it: think of it as going to a job interview.  The boss hires 9 out of every 300 people who show up for a one-day job of properly pricing merchandise and you might make a few dollars and if you do things right you might even get to drive a new car!  I might be disappointed for not getting picked but I always tell myself maybe next time.  That's it for now.
