Tough love brewing in the Row...

Actual retail price...

(Takes a quick peek at the card)

Both Jnelson and MKF are over.  So then, who's the winner?  The retail price is $1069.  cu2010, you're the winner!

Come up to the turntable, cu2010.  Now, I forget what game was supposed to be played 5th today.  Stagehands, can you hurry it up back there?  Bring out the game?

(Stagehands bring out the game)

You've got to be kidding me.  Who gave the green light on this game to be played on my first show?  It's highly unpopular!



Joker.

And what are we playing for today, Rich?

(Door #2 opens)

Rich: "It's a new watercraft!"

"It's the Yamaha Waverunner VX Deluxe.  Enjoy fast action on the water like you've never enjoyed it before!  It's a terrific prize worth $7,999!"

Not bad.  Alright then - if we've gotta trudge through it, we've gotta trudge through it.  Four of these cards are ordinary playing cards, but one is a Joker.  Your objective - get rid of this joker at any costs!  You'll have chances to win up to four discards with small items, beginning with what, Rich?

Rich: "First, this teapot.  See your table in a new light with the cool, modern look of White by Denby.  It has a one and three quarter pint capacity."

Is that teapot $56...



or $65, cu?



Make the right choice and you'll win your first discard.

I'm playing Joker?!?

65.

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.

Tell me about it.  There'll be a large boardroom meeting behind closed doors, and I assure you I'll do everything in my power to sack whoever was responsible.

Anyway, he says $65 - is that correct?



(Buzz)

Not the greatest of starts, but we've still got three more shots at this.  Next item, Rich?

Rich: "It's the Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat!  Simplify car travel with your young child!"

Let's try this again.  $89...



or $98?

He says $89, is it?



Good!  You get a discard.

Next, Rich?

Rich: "Start your day off minus the scruff, with the help of the Series 4775 shaver from Braun!"

That shaver is either $95...



or $59.



First, what card would you like to discard, and then what's the price of that shaver?

I'll discard card number 2.

I'll say $59 for the shaver.

Hopefully card #2 was the joker, but if it wasn't, you'll need more discards.

Is the shaver $59?



Yes!  Another discard.

What's last, Rich?

Rich: "Finally, this Roosevelt globe has a hardwood base, a rosewood finish and an Old World style.  Find any place on the world map with the Roosevelt globe!"

$46...



or $64?



What's the discard,  and what's the price of the globe?

$64 for the globe, he says.  Please be right!



Ugh.  Well, here's how the board looks.



You've discarded 2 of the 5 cards, which gives you a 40% shot of winning this thing.

Let's start with card #1.  If the Joker is there, you lose.



(Ding)

That's good!

If the joker is behind card #2, you win.



(Buzzer)

Down to one chance to win, I'm afraid...

If the joker is behind card #3, you lose.



(Ding)

Still no sign of that joker!  Now you've got a 50-50 shot of winning - the exact same odds that Scott had earlier on Bonus Game.  Will you be just as lucky?  Let's find out - is that joker, for the win, behind card #4?



(DingDingDingDingDing)

There it is!  That gives us two winners in a row, congratulations cu.  We have one last bid and pricing game to go - it'll be coming up next!  Don't go away.

We need one last contestant, Rich.  Who's it going to be?

Rich: "It'll be wpghi5!  Come on down, you're the next contestant on Chinook's Price Is Right!"

Welcome to the show, wpghi5, and good luck.  You'll all need to look up to see the final item up for bids!

Rich: "It's a beautiful chandelier!"

(Oohs and aahs)

"From Kichler, it's the Buckhorn Chandelier with Citrine glass!  Illuminate your house in prarie fashion, from Kichler!"

What's your bid, wpghi5?
