I don't feel good about this at all. A very uneasy $2020 from me, Pat.

Came full circle here; $2,020 here.

*ding*



Prior to this, someone bid $1,982. Somewhere Randy Travis is smiling. The actual retail price of the vanity set: $1,827.



JayC, you're the winner!

*bell sequence*

Had one chance to get up here and boy did you take advantage. You get to play our last pricing game on the turntable. Take a look at what I'm about to offer you!

George: A rower, a gumball machine, cowboy boots and a freezer!



First, the NordicTrack RW500 Rowing Machine offers the convenience of a core workout right in your own home. It features an interactive trainer to help you get in shape and stay in shape while offering 26 resistance levels and a heart rate monitor.



Second, get your kicks with this Route 66-inspired gas pump gumball machine from Tokheim, designed to bring back memories of the 1950s. It has room for 1,000 gumballs, plus it features steel cash-box with lock and authentic Beaver quarter coin slot.



Third, from the Tony Lama signature series, a pair of antique tan designer cowboy boots. Each has a narrow square toe which gives off that classic style along with a contemporary vibe. They're 100% natural with leather pull straps and full-quill underlays.



Finally from Marvel, this Professional Series freestanding under-counter freezer. It measures 24 inches across and has 4.6 cubic feet of storage for all your favorite froze foods. It also has adjustable temperature settings and frost-free defrosting.

Me: Yarrgh, matey! Ye be playin' Danger Price for all that loot!



That's my talk like a pirate quota for one show. JayC, among the four prizes George just described, one of them costs $2,980. What you must do is figure out which one it is and pick the other three prizes. If you can do that, you win all four prizes.

With that in mind, which prize do you want to start with?

#1, the rower
#2, the gumball machine
#3, the cowboy boots
#4, the freezer

He wants the rower. Janice, what price do we have on that?



*ding*

That rower is worth $1,499. Now, if that gumball machine is anything but $2,980, you will have won this game. Janice, let's see the price!



You win!

*bell sequence, main theme*

Dian, flip that last price over for proof.



That freezer was indeed $2,980. Enjoy those prizes, JayC!

We'll be back with our second Showcase Showdown after this!

7 and 13; stop at 70 or more!
Quote from: Bill Todman
"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

*gamesurf spins*

The contestant nearest to one dollar will claim that second spot in our Showcases. gamesurf, it looks like another spin is in the cards...



You have a dime.

*gamesurf spins again*

There it goes again. What will we add to 10¢? Hopefully 90. It's not going to get back, but you could add 75¢...



You did! That's a total of 85¢!



*ding*

TPIRfan#9821, now it's your spin.

19, 7, bonus spin 6 if necessary, stop if I can tie or beat gamesurf.
"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."

-Drew Carey, interview with Athletic, September 16, 2020

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

*TPIRfan#9821 spins*

TPIRfan#9821 has a tough road ahead, trying to beat eighty-five cents. You'll edge past that dollar...



...and now you need to build on 80 cents.

*TPIRfan#9821 spins again*

You can at least tie on a good spin as long as you don't go over. What will we add? Ooh, looks like you'll go over...



*mrrrrrrrrrrp*

By a nickel. Man, that hurts. Sorry about that.

With that, we've come to JayC. Go ahead and give that what wheel a spin.

*JayC spins*

JayC's looking to beat 85¢ to get into the showcase. Hey, if it slows in time, you could have a tie. Stop right there...!



Ooh, it just clicked right off. Try it again.

*JayC spins again*

You already have thirty cents. Seventy would be great. To that, what will we add? I'm not sure if this is going to work out.



It won't; 70 isn't enough. Thanks for being here, JayC.

*Dig We Must*

gamesurf, you held on. We'll see you in the Showcases following this message for you!
