[Cool Steve]

$30

[Teddy]

$30, is that right?

DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING!



Yes, you got that one right on the nose, so he stays where he is. Now, as long as you don't miss the flares by more than $21, you win. How much are they?

[Cool Steve]

$40

[Teddy]

You say $40, and you do realize that you have $220,000 riding on this one. For the win, are you right?

DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING!

Congratulations on your big win! And in the six games, we've given away a grand total of $440,000, and we still have to spin the Big Wheel to see if we can add to our winnings. Showcase Showdown is coming up after this!

[Teddy]

It's Showcase Showdown time once again on The Price is Right's Big Money Special! And Cool Steve, who just won $220,000 in our last game, has made history as the biggest winner ever on this series! (cheers) And not only that, he accounted for exactly half of our cash winnings that were accumulated in the six pricing games. And now that we have that out of the way, why not add some more cash with the Big Wheel? Get a dollar in one spin or a combination of two spins, you get $10,000 and a Bonus Spin. In the Bonus Spin, a green section, 5 or 15, is worth $100,000, and a dollar is worth $250,000, and I hope at least one of you gets that chance to spin for the 250 grand!

SPINNING ORDER:
wpghi5 ($11,127)
GameShowFan9001 ($75,110)
Cool Steve ($225,714)

But before any of you get to spin the wheel, please give me three numbers from 1 to 20 and your minimum stopping score. Good luck to all three of you!

[Cool Steve]

5 and 13

and my score to stop on 65 to 100

and if there's a spinoff or i get a dollar: 11

[wpghi5]

Mine's are 9 and 20. My bonus spin/spin-off is 9 again. I'll stop at 60.

[GameShowFan9001]

I'm gonna say 1 and 20, and stop on 70.  Third number will be 13

[Teddy]

First up will be wpghi5.

(wheel beeps)

The contestant who is nearest to one dollar without going over will be in the Showcase. And the first spin of the second Showcase Showdown is going to be worth...



...60 cents, and that's a tricky number. How do you feel about that?

WPGHI5: I'll stay.

Very well then, go over there and see if your score holds up.



DING!

Meanwhile, it's GameShowFan9001's turn to spin.

(wheel beeps)

60 is the score to beat, and in your first spin, you are going to get...



...a quarter, so you will spin again.

(wheel beeps)

Now you just need at least 35 cents to stay in the game, and 75 for the bonus. And will you take over the lead with this one? Oh no!



(audience groans)

You only got 45 cents total, and that's not enough, so wpghi5 dodged a bullet there. Thanks for playing, and we'll see you again. Now Cool Steve will spin.

(wheel beeps)

Will the biggest winner ever on The Price is Right make it to the Showcase round with this spin? Watch the spinning Wheel. And it's going to come to a stop on...



...70 cents, and you're the winner!

(Dig We Must 2007)

Cool Steve is moving on to the Showcase, where he could win some great prizes. Meanwhile, if you want to watch full episodes of the show, go to CBS.com and find us there. That's CBS.com. The Showcases are next, and we'll have two of them ready to go after this.

We are now in the Showcase round, with Cool Steve as the top winner, and Clara26 as the runner-up. Each of you will have a Showcase of lovely prizes to bid on, and the one of you who is closer to the actual retail price without going over will win it. Now if you're the winner, and you are $250 or less away from the retail price of your own Showcase, you will get both Showcases! And Cool Steve, after you see the first Showcase, you can either bid on it or pass to Clara26 and wait for the second Showcase. With that in mind, here comes the first Showcase.

(Showcase '83)

GEORGE: This Showcase is for the big gamer in you, and you will have hours of fun in your new game room. (James models it in Door #2) (applause)



First, Hathaway Games presents this 8-foot arcade ball table, which captures the fun of skeeball.



Second, relive the 80s with this Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga upright arcade game from Namco.



And third, take in a relaxing game of pool with this Spencer Marston Milano pool table. Next, go to a place where the Bears and Bulls come to play, which is exciting Chicago! (Rachel models it on plasma screen behind audience) (cheers and applause)



You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Chicago, Illinois, for a six-night stay at the Hyatt Centric Magnificent Mile. Convenient to all the major shops and attractions, and located in the heart of the famed downtown Loop. Daily breakfast is included. And finally, you'll feel like you just hit the jackpot with this new luxury SUV! (James models it in Door #3) (jazzy variant of Car Cue '83) (cheers and applause)



It's the Lexus RX350L, featuring a 3.5-liter engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. So it's a game room, a trip to Chicago and a brand-new SUV. This Showcase will be a guaranteed winner for you, but only if the price is right!

So my question to you, Cool Steve, is: Would you like to bid on this Showcase, or pass it?

[GameShowFan9001]

***PEANUT GALLERY***

I believe the Lexus is somewhere in the high 40s to low/mid 50s, no clue about the other stuff though.

[Cool Steve]

I'm going to bid on this one and my bid is $51,333

[Teddy]

Your bid is $51,333...

DING!



...and there it is. Now Clara26, take a look at your Showcase!

(Showcase 2007)

GEORGE: Your Showcase features prizes revealed as yours truly, George Gray, just won the lottery. And since I won some big money of my own, I've decided to use a few thousand for a down payment on a penthouse condo in New York City! (James models it on plasma screen behind Door #1) (cheers and applause)



You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to New York for a six-night stay at the San Carlos Hotel New York. Located in the heart of Manhattan, you'll enjoy some of the most spectacular views of America's greatest city, plus it's close to major attractions including the Empire State Building, Central Park and Times Square. Daily breakfast is included. Next, I've just decided to take another few thousand out and treat myself to a long, relaxing vacation in Monte Carlo! (James models it on another plasma screen behind Door #1) (cheers and applause)



You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Monte Carlo, Monaco, for a six-night stay at the Le Meridien Beach Plaza hotel. Lose yourself in all the fun that Monte Carlo has to offer, including a day on the beach and a night at the casino. Daily breakfast is included. Finally, I've decided to take out several thousands of dollars and use that to buy one of my most cherished possessions, which is a new Cadillac! (Rachel models it in Door #2) (Grandeur) (wild cheers and applause)



It is the Cadillac CT6 Luxury sedan, featuring a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. So it's trips to New York and Monte Carlo, plus a new Cadillac. You too will feel like you just won the lottery like yours truly, George Gray, just did, if the price is right!

Now Clara26, I would like to have you bid on that Showcase. What do you say?

[Clara26]

For this showcase i'm going to bid $73,400

[Teddy]

And $73,400 is your bid.

DING!



(applause)

When we come back, we're going to find out who the big winner is, so stay right there!
