Frank's Price is Right: Episode 20--THE END

[Jordanar18]

In with Flip Flop and Pathfinder.

[jhc2010]

I'll play and my two completely random guesses are Money Game and Card Game.

[ucb2912]

I'll play, but I wont use my pass since while my computer may be working now, I have a feeling it might crash again soon. I'd rather not risk the pass being wasted.

[Voltron291]

I'm in and I'll guess safe crackers, squeeze play and barker's bargain bar

[JayC]

I'm in also.  I'll try Triple Play, Bargain Bar, and Bullseye.

[rcbought]

I will play and say push over and squeeze play

[Jordan7]

I am in again!

I'll say Barker's Bargain Bar, One Away, Coming or Going, and Danger Price.

[Brewer]

I'll jump aboard with Coming or Going and Squeeze Play.

[Aaron A. Camp]

Count me in!

I will say Golden Road and Double Prices for the optional question.

[Mallory16]

Well... as far as the optional question goes, only one person gave at least two correct answers without any wrong answers, and that person will be one of the first four called.  I just want to say first that I'm slightly disappointed that so many people guessed Golden Road, considering the big deal I made in the last show about how I finally played it for the first time.  Ah well.  Time to start the show!

***

Rich:  Here it comes, from the Golden-Road.net forums online, the Internet's most exciting couple o' weeks of fantastic prizes:  the fabulous 21,600-minute Price is Right!

BRB_TheFireball, come on down!

Jordan7, come on down!

Alfonzo, come on down!

And Jordanar18, come on down!  You are the first four contestants on The Price is Right!  And now, here is the star of The Price is Right, Frank!

*Frank enters the stage through the big doors.*

Welcome to The Price is Right!  Thank you, thank you, thank you all!  Thank you all for that wonderful, wonderful welcome!  At least it's playing wonderfully in my head, so let a guy dream, already!  But now, it's time to get down to business:  there is the first item up for bids today!

Rich:  A fine massage chair.  From Fujitronic, this mind relaxing massage chair has 6 massage balls to achieve a perfect massage effect, 3-speed adjustments for the seat pad, and finger massage effect.

And that chair will go to the one of you four who bids nearest to the actual retail price without going over.  Bid in dollars, please, because we round off our prices to the nearest dollar, and Jordanar18, you get the first bid of the day!

[Jordanar18]

$700!

[Alfonzo]

Gee, I wonder which of us was right?

Anyways, I'll say One Thou.

[Jordan7]

$2195

[BRB_TheFireball]

$2,196  

[Mallory16]

[color=FF0000]Jordanar18:  $700[/color]
[color=0000FF]Alfonzo:  $1000[/color]
[color=FF9900]Jordan7:  $2195[/color]
[color=009900]BRB_TheFireball:  $2196[/color]

And Fireball's apparently in a less than courteous mood today, but will that come back to bite him?  The actual retail price of the massage chair is...

$1796, and it is Alfie who wins!  And Alfie, I would like for you to follow me up to the turntable where we have the first pricing game of the day, for something great!  Now Alfie, I think you would agree that it would be mighty nice to win that!

Rich:  A new car!  A 2007 Ford Focus S sedan, a great little car for great little driving.  Sure, it's not the fanciest car around, but it gets the job done, and really, isn't that what matters?  Comes with standard features, 2.0 liter engine, 5-speed manual transmission, rear floor mats, ashcup and lighter, all-weather floor mats, hrome exhaust tip, and black body side moldings, a Ford Focus!

And take a look at this price we have for that car!  It's wrong, wrong, wrong!

[color=0000FF]*Image deleted.[/color]

That car is so not $134,985!  To win that car, you're going to have to play doctor here, and perform a successful operation on that price:  we like to call it a "squeeze play."  No idea why, really.

Anyway, leave that 1 alone!  That is the first number in the price of the car!  And leave that 5 alone!  That is the last number in the price of the car!  But one of the four numbers in the middle--the 3, the 4, the 9, or the 8--is an imposter, and is spoiling our patient!  What you must do is correctly determine which of those four numbers is making our price wrong, and surgically remove that number from the patient.  And if you are correct, you will not only save our patient's life, but more importantly, you win the car!

So Alfie, which number do you feel should be removed?
