The Big Finale: 123123123's TPiR (S2, E10)

[Mallory16]

So far, all of the games you've spotlighted are also games I've never done. Nevermind two of them didn't exist yet the last time I hosted an episode.

Anyway, I'll go with $3900.

[123123123]

Bidding Order:
geniusinmath ------------> $2000
LiteBulb88 -----------> $5069
Mallory16 ------------> $3900
tpir04 --------------> $error

123³: The majority of the bids are in and the actual price of the kitchen package, brought to you by Plessers, goes for...




...so come on up, LiteBulb!!



{walks over to GPT}



I'll admit it, between you and me, that still seems like a high price for appliances. But that's besides the point, you've won it and can win more. Mr. Announcer, if you'd please?


Announcer: We've taken care of your kitchen, so let's work on your dream game room with...



{door 3 opens}



...a new sofa and game console!!



First, this performance sectional sofa is made of 100% polyester fabric, is spill resistant has a neutral tone that goes with every room style and has over 100 inches of seating area!

Then, this 73 inch tall retro plug and play arcade console has LED lights, cup holders, capacity for up to 4 players and over 6000 games included!

There they are, 123!


{loud applause}




123³: And here's Blackout, the one original game played on this series. Gotta keep playtesting it so it's ready to be played on the real show.

At this rate, it'll be ready for premiere week just like Gas Money was on its debut. Wonder what happened to the other games that were supposedly going to premiere that week...


Sorry, off on a tangent again   

Anyways, the price of the sofa and the price of the arcade game are both somewhere on this board. I would like you use these 3 boards to blackout 3 prices that don't go with either prize.

If both prices are left uncovered, you're one step closer to your own game room, you'll just need to find the space.

Let me know the 3 prices you would like to cover up. Good luck!

{shouts from audience}

[LiteBulb88]

I must confess I thought all your one bid prices were going to be numerical anagrams of each other .

OK...let's see..I'll try not to, ahem, blackout due to the pressure...

*covers $998, $1,479, and $8,150.*

[123123123]

{LiteBulb takes boards and covers prices}




123³: Hmmm... there might be a slight flaw with this game.

Anyways, if you've covered only wrong prices, you're a winner. Let's light it up!



...






{ding, ding, ding, ding, ding}
{audience cheers and screams}

Actually, there might some major issues with it. Ehh, I playtested it twice, did my job. Let the next producer deal with it.

LiteBulb, enjoy your new game room prizes! We'll have our first Showcase Showdown after this short line break!!

123³: We have gamesurf, LiteBulb88 and sideshowPA all ready to spin this wheel for a chance to make it the the showcases. 

I need two numbers from 1 to 100, plus your stopping point. Best of luck!

Spinning Order:
gamesurf ($5,609)
LiteBulb88 ($17,243)
sideshowPA ($31,000, did a double take, crazy it's such a round number without any planning)

[LiteBulb88]

Woo-hoo! My numbers are 43 and 70. I will take a second spin if (and only if) one of the following is true:

1. I'm behind gamesurf.
2. I tied gamesurf on a value of 65 cents or less.
3. I beat gamesurf (or he went over) and I spun a value of 50 cents or less.

[gamesurf]

Spin on 65 and below, stay on 70 and above!

Wait, you need two numbers. 65 and 70, then.

[sideshowPA]

2 and 14 please, and I'll stop after I inevitably conquer the two jabronis before me

[123123123]

{gamesurf spins wheel}

123³: gamesurf, you're gonna start with...




...a 35. I'm guessing you'll spin again then?

{nods, spins wheel}

Added to your 35 will be...





{buzz}

...too much. I hope you enjoyed your time here, gamesurf!

***

Next is LiteBulb, give the wheel a big spin!

{spins wheel}

You're gonna start with...




...a dime piece. No way you're staying with that, so try again!

{spins wheel again}





40 cents total, at least you didn't go over.

***

Finally sideshow, time for you to spin this wheel and conquer the jabroni

{steps over, spins wheel}




You'll need at least another dime to stay in it. Get over there!

{spins wheel again}





{buzz}

I'm sorry, but you've went over. I hope you enjoy your car and had a good time!

{turns to LiteBulb}

LiteBulb, you've secured your spot in the showcases and we will see who joins you during the second half of The Price is Right!

{applause as screen fades to commercials}

*************************************************************

{back from break}

123³: Mr. Announcer, who are you going to get to fill this green spot in the row?

Announcer: Unsurprisingly, I think we are going to call down 22FJB! You are the next contestant on the Price is Right!!

{cheers as they make it down to the row}

123³: Now before we show the next item up for bids, I have a small surprise for you all.



{reaches into jacket pocket, takes out two envelopes}





This segment of the show will be a Pick Your Own Adventure, reminiscent of the season premiere!

As a quick reminder, each envelope contains an item associated with what game you might end up playing and a clue to help your decision.

Envelope 1: Error In Your Favor
Envelope 2: Something's Missing

The four of you in Contestants' Row right now, when you give me your bid on the IUFB that's coming up, you will also give me an envelope choice (#1 or #2). Whichever one of you makes it up here will get to follow your choice.

With all that, let's see the next item up for bids!

Announcer: In honor of Vend-O-Price, that I could never look at the same when they removed the Penny Ante sound effect, we're obviously going to offer you...


{clam opens up}

...a stocked vending machine!!




This vending machine is able to hold up to 550 snack items, has a sleek glass front and interior LED lighting for excellent product visibility. We've also included 2 144-pack cases of deliciously sour candy, whether you put them in the machine or eat them straight is up to you!

{cheers}

123³: OK, so 22FJB, please give me both your bid and your envelope choice. Good luck!

Bidding Order:
22FJB ------------>
Mallory16 ----------->
tpir04 ------------>
geniusinmath -------->

[22FJB]

I’ll go with $1900 and Envelope #1

[Mallory16]

Vending machine... that'd be kinda' cool. Not sure what I could do with it, but cool nonetheless. I'll go $5995. And I'll take envelope #1.

[tpir04]

Oh boy. Gimme the candy, forget the vending machine, that's just extra steps!

$4005 and envelope #2, because I want to be different!

[geniusinmath]

$1901 with envelope #1.

[123123123]

Bidding Order:
22FJB ------------> $1900
Mallory16 --------> $5995
tpir04 ------------> $4005
geniusinmath ------> $1901

123³: The price of the vending machine with the candy is...




...come on up, tpir04!!




{hands tpiro4 envelope #2 as we head to turntable}






So let's see what we have here, it always nice to verbalize what's going on so were all on the same page.

- A classy host (guilty as charged)
- A cuckoo announcer with no chill
- A crazed contestant about to be hopped up on sour candy
- the classic Bonus Game waiting for us

Now the only thing that is missing is a bonus prize, and I have a feeling that red envelope that's been jingling in my jacket all day might tell us what's up. So if you could tpir04...







{opens envelope}







...







I think we all know where this is going. Mr. Announcer!?!


{door 3 opens}


Announcer: It's a BRAND NEW LEXUS!!!



This 2026 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail+ comes with all the standard equipment, a 6 speed automatic transmission a roof rack and rock rails. The Lexus GX 550! This is a wonderful bonus prize worth... $85,415!!


{loud cheers and applause}




123³: Even better news is that I expect you to win this car.

We've offered 4 Lexuses (Lexii?) throughout this series and given away 4 Lexuses (Lexii?) throughout. Let's make it 5 for 5!

Now here are the four items in the game today, if you only win one, win the one with the bonus please.




Announcer: First, we have a 5 lb bag of decorative white polished rocks that make your succulents stand out.

We have 10 reams of multi-purpose printer paper manufactured from environmentally friendly sources.

These ergonomic crafting scissors are specifically catered to creating perfectly spaced fringes on projects.

And finally, this precision water blaster has a 30-foot range and can be refilled within seconds!!


{applause}




Now I just need you to tell me if the actual price for each of the 4 is higher or lower than what we're showing. I believe in you, good luck!

{peanut gallery starts yelling guesses}

[tpir04]

I may or may not be in a stable condition to operate an automobile after pigging out on candy, but what the hey...Lexus!!!

I do hope I win, because...Lexus!!! In order from top to bottom, Lower, Higher, Lower, Lower.

*crosses fingers...and toes*

[123123123]

123³: Don't worry, the sugar high will die down soon enough. So first you said the rocks were less than $25 and they are...







{buzz}

...higher. Shake it off, it might not even matter. The office paper, $85, you said higher, it is...







{buzz}

Not an ideal start, but all it takes is one. Are the scissors less than $25?







{ding}
{cheers}

There you go! Now let's finish strong. You said the water gun was less than $85, is it?








{ding}
{more cheers}



Nice, you've battled back to a 50:50 shot at it. Now it's just the luck of these blue windows. Light up that board!!   






...










{ding, ding, ding, ding, ding}
{crowd erupts}

Another Lexus winner on the show! Go over and see your beautiful car!

Usually a gun would win in rock-paper-scissors, but not when the scissors have that many blades 

More fun and games coming up on the Price is Right!!
