Teddy's TPIR: Episode 28/Flashback to 1998

[JayC]

I will set the Magic # at $3,000 Teddy!

[Teddy]

Your magic number is $3,000, so let's see if you win. First off, James, is the magic number less than the trip to Augusta?



DING!

Yes, it's $6,852. Now Rachel, my second question is, is it more than the golf clubs? Show it to us!



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

(TPIR Theme 1972)

(cheers and applause)

Yes, it is, and we have our first win on our Flashback to 1998 episode! Up next is the Showcase Showdown, where we're going to spin the Big Wheel, and it's after this break.

[Teddy]

It's time to spin the Big Wheel on The Price is Right! Hag, Plinkoman and JayC will be going for the big bucks and a spot in the Showcase round. The one of you who is nearest to a dollar without going over will move on to the Showcase, where lots of fabulous prizes await. And if you should get a dollar in one spin or a combination of two spins, you get $1,000 and a Bonus Spin!

SPINNING ORDER:
Hag ($1,200)
Plinkoman ($3,850)
JayC ($9,386)

But first, I will need three numbers from 1 to 20, plus the minimum score that you would stop on. Good luck to all three of you!

[JayC]

9, 2, and 7, stop if tied at 60 or higher, otherwise only stop with a winning score.

[Plinkoman]

 13, 11, 19. Will stop on .65 or higher.

[Hag]

3, 8, 14 and stop on .70 or higher.

[Teddy]

And the spinning starts with Hag.

(wheel beeps)

Let's hope for a great score with your first spin. And it's about to come to a stop on...



...65. So are you going to keep it or spin?

HAG: I'll spin again.

(wheel beeps)

Now as long as we don't get anything more than 35, you'll be fine. Now this could be trouble, go to 25, go to 25...



...and you got 90 cents total.



DING!

Now let's see what Plinkoman can do right here.

(wheel beeps)

His first spin is on its way, and here, it looks like he's going to get...



...80 cents, spin it again.

(wheel beeps)

10, 15 or 20 will put you in the lead. Sometimes it's best to think small. But we don't want the dollar now. WE DON'T WANT THE DOLLAR NOW!!!



MRRRRRRRRP!

(audience groans)

You know, that's what you should've gotten the first time. Sorry Plinkoman, better luck next time. Thanks for playing. And so it's up to JayC to beat 90.

(wheel beeps)

All you have to do is beat 90 cents, and you'll be in the Showcase. Could we have a tie here? Will we have a tie here?



Nope, you only got 25 cents, so you have to spin it again.

(wheel beeps)

And now, it comes down to this. Will it be Hag, or will it be JayC who moves on to the Showcase? JayC needs 70 to win, and 75 for a dollar...



...and he tied it with 65, for a total of 90. So that means we will have a Spin-Off to decide who will go to the Showcase. Hag, you will spin first.

(wheel beeps)

Of course, a dollar will still get you $1,000, and you'll still have your Bonus Spin. In the Spin-Off, you will get...



...40 cents, so back over there you go.



DING!

And now, JayC must beat 40 cents to get in the Showcase.

(wheel beeps)

You just need 45 cents or better to advance, and it looks like we will need another tiebreaker here...



...but we won't, because you only got 20 cents. JayC, thanks for playing.

(Dig We Must 1976)

Hag, you're going to the Showcase at the end of the show; see you there. Now, if there are any episodes you may have missed, you can watch them on CBS.com. That's CBS.com. We will continue our Flashback to 1998 after these messages. You don't want to miss it!

[Teddy]

Welcome back to the Flashback to 1998 on The Price is Right! George, we're missing a player in the yellow spot. What are you going to do about it?

GEORGE: I'm going to fill it with SilverFirePrime, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!

(Walking 1976)

Glad you could join us, SilverFirePrime. Now let's see the next prize.
