Teddy's TPIR, Episode 2: Million-Dollar Spectacular (THE BIG FINALE!!!)

[Teddy]

OK, you're going with one Little Debbie. As you know, it cannot be more than $2.10, but I doubt that it would be. Let's see. The price is...

$1.39

...$1.39, and what's the total?

(Rachel rings up total on cash register)

WIN!
$20.29

$20.29, and you win!

DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-!

(TPIR Theme 2007)

(cheers and applause)

Have fun on your cruise! We will have our second Showcase Showdown after this!

[Teddy]

(MDS Consolation Prize Cue)

RICH: Contestants not appearing on stage will receive a Best of The Price is Right special-edition DVD. Now you can relive the greatest moments of America's favorite gameshow, from the Bob Barker and Bill Cullen eras. And a gift card from FYE: For Your Entertainment. With an endless selection of music, videos and recordable media, the one place to go for your entertainment is FYE. Remember, there's another chance at a million dollars coming up, but first, here's Teddy with our Showcase Showdown!

Thank you, Rich! Now, if you missed the first part of our show tonight, shame, shame on you! But let me remind you three that if you get a dollar in one spin or a combination of two spins, you'll win $5,000 and get a Bonus Spin. In the Bonus Spin, if the Wheel lands on a green section, you'll win $25,000, but if it stops on the dollar, you will win $50,000 more for a total of $55,000! (cheers and applause) In fact, we gave away $55,000 on the Big Wheel in the first Showcase Showdown, and wouldn't it be fun to do it again??

(wild cheers and applause)

SPINNING ORDER:
pathfinder20: $6,589
rob79: $7,555
GoldenBulldog: $10,746

pathfinder20, you're first. Go right ahead.

(wheel beeps)

Here we go with the first spin of the second Showcase Showdown, and it's coming to a stop on...

65

...65 cents. That's a tough number there. Would you like to stay or spin again?

[pathfinder20]

Yucky number but I am staying.

[Teddy]

Well, OK. You can go over there.

.65

DING!

And now, we have rob79 going next. Spin that wheel.

(wheel beeps)

We're looking for something good, like 70 cents or more. And it looks like you could use another spin for that.

45

You have 45 cents, spin it again.

(wheel beeps)

Now we're looking for 55 cents here, and 20 cents at least. Here comes 55, but it's a little too fast for it, and I don't like this at all.

85

MRRRRRRRRP!

You went way over, and I'm sorry. Have fun in New York City! Now here comes GoldenBulldog to spin the wheel.

(wheel beeps)

It's coming around and around and around. It's finally slowing down, and it will come to a stop on 90 cents.

90

.90

(Dig We Must 2007)

(cheers and applause)

And that score is going to send you to the Showcase. We'll have another opportunity to win a million dollars after this. Stay tuned, because you don't want to miss it!

[Teddy]

Welcome to the Showcase round on The Price is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular! I have wpghi5 as the top winner, and GoldenBulldog as the runner-up.

RICH: This is Rich Fields speaking for The Price is Right, a FremantleMedia production!

[Teddy]

And another episode is finished! I'd like to thank everyone who came out to play, and I had a lot of fun hosting it! I have my own personal list of the good, the bad and the ugly that went on in this show:

The Good: Congratulations, wpghi5, for busting my budget with three cars, $55,000 in the Showcase Showdown, and some other stuff, too! 

The Bad: Nobody won the million dollars, but hey, the real MDS went 17 episodes before someone finally did it. 

The Ugly: That tough Money Game setup. And worst of all, it was also the Million-Dollar Game. 

I think I'll take a break to celebrate Thanksgiving, and then I'll prepare a script for Episode 3. Be on the lookout for that, but in the meantime, the floor is open for some of your post-show thoughts and comments. Again, I had fun on this show, and thanks to all of my participants! I hope we can do it again real soon, and I'm already looking forward to hosting my next show! Now is the time for me to step aside and allow you to share your thoughts and comments. So Happy Holidays in advance, and I'll definitely be back next year!

[wpghi5]

It was my pleasure to win all that great stuff on your show Ted!  OMG! It feels great to be the big winner of a HYO! 

[WarioBarker]

The Bad: Nobody won the million dollars, but hey, the real MDS went 17 episodes before someone finally did it. 

And a host change...and a set change...and an MDS format change...
