"JokerFan, Come On Down!

pathfinder20, Come On Down!

Scott5114, Come On Down!

And... The_Great_Butler, Come On Down!

You are the first four contestants on Chinook's Price Is Right!



(Main Theme)

And now, here is the star of the show - ChinookUT!"

(Enters from door #2; a thunderous round of applause, and distinct calls of "Nookie!" can be heard from somewhere in the back)

Welcome to the first show of Chinook's Price Is Right!  Thank you!

(Additional applause and cheering)

I thank you!

By the way, who was in charge of making that entrance graphic?  It's ugly!  Well, I suppose we can spread blame around afterwards.

Anyway, welcome again to the show.  Rich, what's our first ever item up for bids?

Rich: "It's a set of golf clubs!"

"It's a full 13-club set of Adams clubs.  They work great all the way between the first tee and the final putt!  And, they include a stylish cart bag!"

Thank you, Rich.  And that set of golf clubs will go to whichever one of you bids closest to the actual retail price without going over.  Butler, what do you say?

(Bidding Order:)

Wow. I could have used those golf clubs.  :D

Chinook, I sure hope you didn't get the same people who built my props to make yours.  One of mine was missing a button!  :D

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Oh my, first bid? wow.

Golf clubs, golf clubs, golf clubs......$999.
I'll put this in here, but I didn't want it to overshadow the more interesting topic of specials. Earlier in the show Mike and Beth talked about Jenny McCarthy's appointment to The View and it leads to Mike talking about her appearance on Price. Mike says that he and the staff mulled over whether or not to have her on the show because of the controversy that follows her. They ultimately decided to have her because she's "a great advocate for what she believes in." Now, Mike didn't specify exactly what he meant by "what she believes in" and what "belief" of her's that he's addressing, but that could certainly be taken the wrong way.

The actual retail price of those golf clubs is... $900!  Scott5114 is the winner!

Come up on stage, Scott.  How are you?  And as you can see behind me, we're going to play...



Bonus Game!

Now we're going to go through four windows, each containing a prize of small value.  Every time you can correctly tell me whether the actual price of the item is higher or lower than the listed price, you win the window.  And if you only get one, two or three prizes correctly, I hope you get the one beside the window which will eventually light up with the word "Bonus"!

What's the Bonus Prize today, Rich?

(Door #2 opens)

Rich: "It's a fantastic dining room group!"

(Applause)

"From the Bryant Collection, this dining room group is of the Queen Anne style and consists of a table, eight chairs, and a Buffet and Hutch!  It's a terrific bonus prize worth... $4,061!"

Not bad, Scott.  Let's see if we can give that away.  What's the first prize, Rich?

Rich: "From Cuisinart, this 18-cup coffee grinder provides uniform grinding and incredible flavor for your morning needs!"



That coffee grinder is not worth $40, Scott.  Is the correct price higher or lower?

Yay, got out of contestant's row for the first time on a HYO show! I'll say lower on that coffee grinder.

Is it lower?



(Buzzer)

I'm afraid not.  It's actually $49.  But let's stay positive - after all, there's only a 1/4 chance that the bonus is behind that window!

Tell us more, Rich!

"From Villaware, this basic waffle iron bakes one large traditional waffle and has five different browning settings!"



It's not $40.  Is the actual price higher or lower?

He's trying lower again; is it?



(Ding)

Yes!  What's next, Rich?

Rich: "Help your child rise and shine every morning with this Madeline alarm clock!"



It's not $25.  Higher or lower?
