William will putt from the second line.

Bob gives an inspiration putt. Too far to the right even though it started curving left towards the hole. It's a miss.

William putts. Straight into the hole! He wasn't kidding about being a good putter. Success!

William wins the convertible!


It appears Rod almost told John instead of Bob that a new player was coming on down, and what follows?

Bob: Bob. Barker. B-A-R-K-E-R. Who did you work with last?
Rod: I got confused.
Bob: More importantly, who will you be working with next?
Rod: I got confused. I was looking at this name while I was trying to say yours.

Rod: I shall. From now on. I promise.

So how are things going in Rod's life? He says things are going almost wonderfully. Cher came out and stole his chocolate diet, so he's revising his own. Rod's "chocolate and pasta diet" will now be known as the southern version from New Orleans, the "Rod Roddy Pasta and Praline Diet". It works wonderfully, according to him, and he's been on it for about a week now. He hasn't lost any weight, but he loves those pralines.

Well, a first recap of The Price is Right was about as hard as I expected it to be. Even with just Simple Machines, it's possible to create a recap that's easy to understand, and I'm hoping this one went well.
