tpiradam's Price is Right - Weird Edition (1/2hr) - THE END!
« on: October 01, 2019, 08:42:35 PM »
Howdy y'all! It's time for another Price is Right tpiradam style! Changing it up this time. Going to be a half hour show as it's a little less work and I had difficulties getting people to sign up for a full hour show. I will also be featuring weird prizes, weird games, weird sets, weird everything! Weird is an understatement!

Sign ups will be open until Friday evening. What I'd like to hear from you is if you were in charge of prizes on The Price is Right, what is the weirdest prize you'd offer?

I would offer a 1957 Ford in the showcase as a April Fools.

A back-stage tour of a Weird Al Yankovic concert! Obviously, since it has to be weird!

In!

The old Side by Side set. It’d be in one of those games you don’t have to know the price, cause it’s priceless.

Hmmm...the weirdest thing I'd offer?

How about a "vintage" Yugo in That's Too Much?

I'll try.

I'd say a dream bathroom, but that's already happened. So instead, I would offer a 10-day trip to the city that the contestant lives in. Contestants not appearing on stage would also recieve this shirt.
"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'll join

A pretty weird prize would be an exclusive tour of Drew's house, with his family there.  :-)

Sign ups are now closed! Geez with this many I could've done a full show but perhaps next time! Also forgot to mention standard rules from the last show are in place for this one as well! Good luck everyone!...

You weren't kidding when you said this would be the weird edition, though I have a feeling this is only the beginning of the weirdness...


I'll go with $1,555.
