Work continues on Mimi's diabolical new scheme for the show's First Four refugees. It is starting to take shape, and at the very least looks more upscale. But knowing Mimi, it's highly unlikely anything nice will be within its walls. One person today is at risk of joining the slave labor, and that's Lisa on the orange podium.

Hi John:
I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your love, affection and loyalty to me, drew, the models and.... The Price is Right.
It was nice spending a few days with you. I do wish Stan would have picked you to "Come on Down". But that's neither here nor there... it was just nice to see you again.
I am sorry to hear about your recent loss of Uncle Bob. My heartfelt condolences go out to you. I just lost my father this past Christmas... so I know how you're feeling. With a little time, all will get better.
Anyway, good luck with your impending graduation. Congrats on your "Masters". And thank you for being such a "Loyal Friend & True".
Sincerely,
Rich Fields l Announcer
The Price is Right
How did Rich know your email address?
I love the tune played when the Tesla was shown. Can I find it somewhere?
Am I the only one who thought the Tesla was kinda dinky? Theme show be damned, I'd rather see the Viper.
A trip to the Arctic Circle? Come on.
The $100 discrepancy in Raquel's total: IUFB #5 was worth $1,000, not $900.
What else can I say? I am all out of superlatives that would describe this show when it was taped.
I have to admit that I was THIS close to stripping naked and screaming at a telephone pole after the seating nightmare that took place at my third taping back in 2009. One year later, however, this wasn't the case. I was the guy in the front row, wearing a black shirt that paid tribute to my uncle, Bob Longlais (more on his story in a little bit). To say that I truly enjoyed this taping would be a gross understatement on anyone's part. This was--out of the previous eight tapings before it--THE BEST taping that I have ever attended. I got to see the most expensive prize in this show's history up close, and I got to see a game that taught me basic math (Plinko) when I was a child growing up. I was really rooting for Rhett to win the Golden/Green Road, but another part of me was glad that he DIDN'T WIN--and I'll explain why. During the first break, Drew and audience were discussing the financial impacts that Rhett would face had he, in fact, won the Tesla Roadster. The taxes on that thing would've been high, and the insurance costs would've been at least $5000 PER MONTH. Just seeing the famous Golden/Green Road sign alone told me that this taping was gonna be special, and by God it was.
Before I get to the personal anecdotes of my conversations with Drew and Rich during the taping, a few things needed to be pointed out:
1. If you're planning on going to a 12:10 PM taping in the future, I want you to know that processing now starts at 7:15 AM, which meant that I had to be in the lot by 7:00 AM after the Order of Arrival numbers were handed out.
Finally, and this is the most important of all...
2. It is NOT just Stan doing contestant interviews anymore. For this show, Michelle (I hope I spelled it right) did the contestant interviews, but she had recognized me--just like Stan--because she was Stan's note-taker for the other two tapings.
Now, to the personal anecdotes. During the third break, Drew recognized me in the front row, and I proceeded to tell him the story about the shirt that was wearing. The shirt paid tribute to my uncle, Bob Longlais, who passed away due to cancer three weeks prior to the taping. For those who don't know, my uncle gave 28 years of his life to the Army as a medical specialist; he served during Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia in one of the first field hospitals that was built at the time. Drew was touched by the shirt, and it led me to finally hug him during the fourth break. After I hugged Drew, he asked me what I did for a living and the number of tapings that I have attended. I told Drew and the audience that this was my 9th taping--and that my very first taping was with Bob Barker in 2007. After that, I told him that I was due to graduate with my B.A. in History from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi this May, and the crowd started applauding and cheering.
During the next break, Rich came down from his podium to talk to us, and I got to hug him too. As the crowd cheered, I remember Rich saying "you're a loyal friend and true," and for the first time in my whole life, I finally felt like a winner. I have gone to eight previous tapings and felt like a loser each time, but this taping was very special to me. I finally felt as if I CAN be able to prove to everyone in that room that I can make magic on stage. It truly was a magical moment in my own life, but it didn't end at the taping. Later that Wednesday night, I got an e-mail from none other than Rich Fields himself, and it goes like this:
I cried. The whole experience of going through this taping, plus Rich's letter to me, would become the cap to the most magical spring break that I have ever had in my life, and reading Rich's note brings tears to my eyes and a sense of motivation--the "want" to come back for my 10th taping of "The Price is Right."
Warmest wishes and love always,
-JOHN J. GILLMEN
Eco tourism is very big in Canada.
Not everyone wants to go to Hawaii, afterall.
I guess I don't get how driving an electric car is so "green". Since most of our electricity comes from coal you're really not "saving the earth". Don't get me wrong I couldn't care less about being "green" but this just doesn't make sense to me.In the U.S., coal is the single biggest source of electric power, but it's not most of our electricity (i.e., it's less than 100%). According to the wikipedia article on electric cars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car), based on the mix of energy sources used to generate electric power in the U.S., an electric car would result in 30% less CO2 emissions than a conventional car. So, yes, it is greener. But the more electricity is generated by solar, wind, etc. the better.
Is there some still graphic of John you can show me?!
What else can I say? I am all out of superlatives that would describe this show when it was taped.
Last time I checked, The Price Is Right was produced in California.
You know what? I'm willing to wager more people would like to spend a week in the tropics than would want to be a stone's throw from the North Pole.

I'm thinking that Rich asked a page to show him my original e-ticket, which has my e-mail address on it.You know, Rich really did not have to do that. The show was taped and done; there is no need to connect with fans after the fact. But he did, and that was very cool. To use the "loyal friend and true" really shows his respect he has for the fanbase.
They do not have this kind of money in their budget right nowWaaaaaaa-waaaaaaaaaah

This is the best that I can get for right now since I'm not good at screencaps:(http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af248/goldenbulldog/TPIR4.jpg)
The guy in the black shirt sitting next to the lady wearing the light blue shirt is me.

Were the props used today for "Green" Road "from-scratch" versions of the old props, or were they the old props retrofitted with some kind of green "rainbow" overlay on them?
Last time I checked, the Arctic Circle extends through Northern Canada.. The prize was for a trip to the Arctic Circle; something that the show apparently was more than eager to offer, and advertise to American public as a place of interest to visit. There are millions of people from around the world (well over 9.9 million from the US alone last year) who want to come and explore Canada. So don't presume to think you know what more people would want. Your narrow mindedness has been well established here.
Someone I knew won an Alaskan cruise in a raffle, which he took in February. Nice getaway from the frozen northeast, I thought. He told me how beautiful the trip was. It was free, so he didn't give a rat's ass that it wasn't the Caribbean cruise. And he still thought it was awesome.
