The Spirit of '76 is upon us all! I'll link the ground rules from my 1975 episode here:
http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,30967.0.html
Here's the interview question for this episode:
How's this for an off-the wall celebrity special? The Price is Right: Game Show Host Edition! Aside from Bob Barker and Drew Carey, which game show host, past or present, do you believe has the most knowledge of prices? Who has the ability to win it all?
To accommodate for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, sign-ups will end on Wednesday, May 27 at 8:00 PM EDT. Good luck!
-
Gotta be Bill Cullen. He hosted the show for nine years! :P
-
If I had to say one it would be Marc Summers. I grew up watching him on Nickelodeon.
-
My mind is telling me Tom Kennedy. And I just thought of something. He hosted the Nighttime version of TPIR! Lol! :biggrin:
-
Sure, I'll jump in.
Time for a cop-out answer: Mike Richards, the host of GSN's Pyramid and Divided. He only left the show a year ago, so I'd assume he still has some rudimentary knowledge of the prices and have the best chance of winning. He undoubtedly would have access to how they price the trips, which is perhaps the hardest part to price, and prizes like the E16 and Vespas don't fluctuate that much between seasons.
Now, if he can't because of legal issues, David Ruprecht from Supermarket Sweep would probably do the best on the grocery products, although he wouldn't know much about pricing things over $25 besides cash.
-
Pat Finn from Shop til You Drop! His show dealt with prices of small prizes, to medium prizes, and trips. He'd do well on The Price Is Right- and he wouldn't even have to have Grandma Curmudgeon to help him out!
-
I'm in! I'll say Charlie Ross (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/Kf3vHMhbBpW66s2wKnWbs1/charlie-ross), one of the presenters of the UK game show Bargain Hunt. He's got great knowledge of antiques, which would be perfect for an episode from 1976!
-
It's gotta be one of the James brothers. Art James hosted "Say When!!", a variation on the format of Price, whose goal is to pick items up to a price limit. It can also be the nighttime Price host himself Dennis James! He hosted Price for 6 years, so he'll never go wrong with prices for hosting that long!
-
I'd love to join.
I'm going to go with Alex Trebek. The running joke for the longest time is that he is so smart, he knew all the Jeopardy answers without help. Surely, he has gathered some pricing wisdom over the years
-
I'm in!
Gotta go with Monty Hall (and Wayne Brady the current host), since Monty's Let's Make a Deal also had pricing games and the prizes are very similar to the ones on Price.
-
I love the 70s!
I'd have to say that guy who hosted Sale of the Century whatever his name was I can't remember right now : )

Nobody’s said Bill Cullen yet?
If it’s 1976, Bill Cullen.
If it’s 2020, Bill Cullen carefully thawed after 40 years trapped in carbonite.

Whoops. :D

I'll say Regis Philbin. He was known for hosting "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

Lots of contestants already! Signups will be upon for another 48 hours.

And let's get this show on the road...
*1975 intro*

And now, here is the star of The Price is Right, PatrickRox80!
*stands behind door number two as it opens, then walks out on stage, accepts mic from Janice and bows*
Me: Welcome to The Price is Right! I thank you all for that splendid welcome! I hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day Weekend. What a time to be honoring the bicentennial year. For the duration of this next hour, we have lots of games to play and lots of prizes to offer. It all starts with the first Item up for Bids which happens to be what, George?
George: A fun go-kart!
(https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-q7337/images/stencil/640x640/products/2425/6442/5a0014bc2d338__35753.1583422814.png?c=2)
George: The TrailMaster 150S Challenger go-kart is fun to run on any trail with the reliance and durability you need to demand the control you desire. It's fully loaded with automatic CVT transmission, and it's equipped with electric start, a digital speedometer and polished aluminum wheels.
And we will present that go-kart to whoever bids nearest to its actual retail price without going over.
(https://i.imgur.com/rtIrTGz.png)
The bidding will commence with Plinkoman!
-
$1889!

$1,889 says Plinkoman.

That brings us to tpiradam.
-
$1,991!

tpiradam says $1,991.

*ding*
Good year, I might add, even if I turned only two during the time. Actual retail price of the go-kart: $3,199!
(https://i.imgur.com/7zC9zHy.png)
tpiradam is the winner!
*bell sequence*
tpiradam gets to come up to the turntable to play our first pricing game. Stand right over here to my right. I'm going to show you two prizes: one I think you'll enjoy and one I know you'll enjoy. What do we start with George?
George: A paint and brush set!
(https://i.imgur.com/Ao9gQBt.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/aAr342H.png)
Serving world-class artists for 175 years, Charvin presents this extra fine oil color set featuring high-grade pigments hand-crafted to produce brilliant hues. It also comes with a dozen Old Holland professional brushes, each giving you the opportunity to paint a masterpiece like the professionals do.
OR... a new car!
(https://i.imgur.com/eaxKufn.png)
A brand new Mazda CX-30! Take on the world with class in this sporty sedan. It comes with standard features, including a 2.5-Liter 16-valve 4-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission, air conditioning, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels with all-season tires
Me: And this is what we have spinning into view right now...
(https://i.imgur.com/rAgXK75.png)
You're going to play Any Number for either of those prizes or enough money for a drink at Starbucks. We have five numbers in the price of the car, the first of which is...
(https://i.imgur.com/j3pqYyZ.png)
*ding*
Two. We also have three numbers filling out the price of the paint and brushes along with three numbers in the piggy bank. Each digit 0-9 is on the board including a second two. All you have to do is give me numbers, hoping they're in price of the car. The prize you complete first is what you win. With that in mind, please give me a number, tpiradam.
-
*from the audience*
(for the car)
4
-
tpiradam has just over three hours to call a number.
-
Let's start with 1.
-
He wants the 1. Where's the 1?
(https://i.imgur.com/qcpbneQ.png)
*ding*
That's in the paint set. Try again with another number.
-
I'd go with the 3 or the other 2 for the second digit, but I'm not that sure
-
How bout 2?
-
How about 2? Where is the other 2?
(https://i.imgur.com/hHhuGlz.png)
*dingding*
There it is! It's in the price of the car! What's your next number, Adam?
-
3 please.
-
The three. Light it up!
(https://i.imgur.com/S4cPFyt.png)
*dingding*
That's also in the car! Two down, two to go. What's your next pick, Adam?
-
I'll say 4.
-
tpiradam says four and he'll get it...
(https://i.imgur.com/JsEiK0x.png)
*ding*
Down in the piggy bank. What's your next number?
-
5
-
5 is next. Light up the five!
(https://i.imgur.com/o2YCHtW.png)
*ding*
Oh! Adam, be careful or you'll come out of this game with an undetermined number of dollars and fifty-four cents. How about it?
-
6?
-
We want to see a 6 in the car. Is it there?
(https://i.imgur.com/EeVBGc7.png)
*ding, losing horns*
Aw! You had a great start, then you got three in a row in the piggy bank. Where were the other numbers?
(https://i.imgur.com/9kLHObY.png)
You needed 7 and 0 for the car. tpiradam, head on over to the check-writing machine and claim that money.
We're gonna try again after these words!
-
George, I hope you can find us a winner!
George: I won't try, Kevin, I'll actually find one: TPIRfan#9821, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
Right down into the blue spot you go, TPIRfan#9821. We have four contestants again, as it should be. Let's show them the next Item up for Bids...
George: A floor lamp!
(https://i.imgur.com/nsNr2qh.png)
From the Kathy Ireland home collection, this Pacific Coast bronze arc orbit floor lamp features contemporary curvature with a half-moon motif. Its luminous glass shade is designed to give off a friendly glow from a 150-watt bulb, making it a great fit in your bedroom or living room.
(https://i.imgur.com/8PMq0kx.png)
Me: The first bid on that lamp goes to TPIRfan#9821.
-
Thanks for calling me down! Also... um... $550?
-
$629
-
$550 is TPIRfan#9821's bid.
(https://i.imgur.com/Y81GCxM.png)
*ding*
Plinkoman jumps right in with $629.
(https://i.imgur.com/9JHzUkN.png)
*ding*
That will bring us to LiteBulb88.
-
$750.
-
Five hundred bucks!
-
$750.
(https://i.imgur.com/gRaBXYj.png)
*ding*
And that will leave us with JhayPrice's bid of $500.
*ding*
(https://i.imgur.com/tcUEY43.png)
I'll tell you all that the actual retail price is $832.
(https://i.imgur.com/nzXK6Kd.png)
LiteBulb88, you win it!
*bell sequence*
Come on up here, we're going back to the turntable. Pleasure to meet you, LiteBulb88. I am prepared to give you all these!
George: A beer glass set, a safe and a bathtub!
(https://i.imgur.com/iPrB71U.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/qIgNdzU.png)
From Pretentious, eight glasses designed to accommodate any kind of beer for the right taste no matter the preference. And for those who'd prefer a sample, two flights handcrafted from rustic darkwood and slates for chalk, each with four five-ounce glasses. Beer not included.
(https://i.imgur.com/F7gnuna.png)
Next, this SentrySafe safe has an electronic lock and 4.3 cubic feet of storage so you never have to worry about losing your valuables. Its thicker door, concealed hinges and solid steel construction makes it 100% fireproof and 100% theft-proof.
(https://i.imgur.com/v5ZWKkj.png)
Finally, get more enjoyment out of your next bath with this Pamela Acrylic freestanding air-massage bathtub. It measures 68-inches across and it can be easily programmed with its electronic control panel. It also comes with 16 low-profile air jets and a warm air massage so you can relax your troubles away and feel clean doing so.
Me: Three nice prizes you could win playing the Clock Game.
(https://i.imgur.com/vOmmI4z.png)
We got letters in the mail about the Clock Game the last time we played. Here's how we're going to play this time. With binary search, it becomes too easy to find the prices of two of the prizes with thirty guesses.
LiteBulb88, the core of this game is the same, but now you must guess the prices of all three of them. You'll start by making bids on the beer glass set, and I'll tell you higher or lower until you give me the exact price to the dollar. With the bids you have remaining, you'll guess the price of the safe. Once you do that, you've won the right to bid on the bathtub. The game ends when you exceed the 30-bid limit, but you'll still keep every prize you've won up to that point.
Audience, you are not allowed to help in any shape or form. From now until the completion of this game, any contestant other than LiteBulb88 who posts will be ejected (if playing) and issued a one-game suspension from my shows.
Let's play this game. LiteBulb88, you're playing for the beer glasses. Concentrate on your thoughts and give me your first bid on the beer glasses.

And with that, your time is up. You narrowed that last one down but time became an issue and fast. That bathtub costs $7,995; you were off by three. You still won the beer glasses and the safe, so there's that at least.
We'll be back with more of The Price is Right after this!
(Floor's open. :P)

Next on George's list is...
George: tpir04, come on down! You are the next contestant on The Price is Right!
Right over there if you please, tpir04. Look at our third Item up for Bids!
George: A patio fire pit set!
(https://i.imgur.com/Ad2MNh6.png)
Noble House invites you to stay warm by the fire on a summer's night with this outdoor five-seater sectional and fire pit. The sofa features lightweight yet strong aluminum frames and water-resistant fabric cushions while the gas fire table provides an attention-drawing, yet calming centerpiece.
(https://i.imgur.com/ymUBs5q.png)

*bell sequence*
JhayPrice wins it! Come on up here. I'm going to place you right in front of Contestant's Row. Look at that door and see what we have to offer you!
George: A trailer!
(https://i.imgur.com/WIT872S.png)
Built to be tough, the XTR off-road teardrop trailer will make any camping or excursion a memorable one. It comes with vintage chrome door handles and a dual interior locking mechanism so you can feel safe and secure in the great outdoors. It also features durable Firestone tires and it hitches easily to your vehicle. A great prize worth $9,250!
Me: And you will win that if you can guide our little mountain climber to safety.
(https://i.imgur.com/8cgXAZY.png)
Yes, you get to play Cliff Hangers. That also means you're playing for these three prizes as well. George?
(https://i.imgur.com/uWbX1AK.png)
First, the Oral B Vitality electric toothbrush with floss action which will give you a cleaner smile than a normal toothbrush. It has micro-bristles for plaque removal and a two-minute sensor.
(https://i.imgur.com/1lsGdvC.png)
From Gorilla Ladders, this three-step aluminum ladder is lightweight and folds conveniently for easy storage. It also has a built-in utility tray to make your home projects easier.
(https://i.imgur.com/AlQpQid.png)
Finally, celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Beatles' Abbey Road album with this deluxe 3-LP collection. All forty tracks each with a new stereo mix, all in a replicated sleeve and presented in a lift-top box.
Me: In a moment, JhayPrice, I'm going to ask you to price all three of those items for me. If you're wrong, our mountain climber will move one step for every dollar you are off. There are 25 steps on the mountain and you have $25 to play with. If you can keep him from falling off the mountain, you win the game. Right now, I want you focus on the toothbrush.
(https://i.imgur.com/nRVzUpM.png)
What do you think the price of the toothbrush is?
-
Let's start off with $25.
-
$25 for the toothbrush. Is that right?
*buzzer*
No, so our mountain climber will start making his ascent...
*On the Franches Mountains plays*
And he's off. Where he will stop, we won't know yet. He's at $5 already, he must stop...
*ding*
(https://i.imgur.com/VIIyPUI.png)
And he did, on $8. How much is that toothbrush?
(https://i.imgur.com/Mx7JoCl.png)
$17. That's also how much money you have to play with now, too. Let's move onto the step ladder.
(https://i.imgur.com/Lxc3X4c.png)
How much do you think that ladder costs?
-
How about $30?
-
All right, how about $30? Is that right?
*buzzer*
That means our climber will continue on his way.
*On the Franches Mountains plays*
About to pass $10, but he's still going. More than halfway there, this doesn't look good. At $15—
*ding*
(https://i.imgur.com/XAARab1.png)
All the way up to $16. The price of that ladder:
(https://i.imgur.com/k8trSRS.png)
$38. JhayPrice, looking at where he stopped, he can move nine steps safely. Anything higher and he falls. All you have to do is price those Beatles records within $9 and you win.
(https://i.imgur.com/i3rovl2.png)
What do you say to that?
-
*crosses fingers*
70 bucks...
-
$70. The one question I'll ask is if it's the right price. Is it?

Okay, if he moves more than nine steps, he's history. Start him up...

$72, nicely done! JhayPrice, enjoy those three prizes and that trailer!
Showcase Showdown #1 coming right up after this!
-
First win on a HYO! Great stuff! Gotta love that Beatles Album.
-
I have with me the three contestants from the first half of our show ready to spin this big wheel. The one of you who is nearest to $1 without going over will take part in the Showcases at the end of our show.
You'll want to hit that dollar because that's worth an extra $1,000 in cash to you along with a Bonus Spin. If on your Bonus Spin you get either of these green sections, you win another $10,000. Get that dollar again, and it's good for $25,000!
Sounds good, doesn't it? LiteBulb88, you get to spin first.
Spinning Order:
1. LiteBulb88: $1,857
2. tpiradam: $3,205.54
3. JhayPrice: $11,517
(Please give me two numbers between 1-20, your minimum staying score and another number 1-20 in that order.)
-
My numbers are 2, 6, and 11. I'll stay if and only if I spin 70 cents or more on my first spin.
-
*LiteBulb88 spins*
There goes the first spin of 1976. And this is looking very interesting. About to slow near that dollar, will it stop there...?
(https://i.imgur.com/YiQius0.png)
It did! You got the dollar!
*Dig We Must*
$1,000 and a Bonus Spin in a short while!
(https://i.imgur.com/hsTNVqi.png)
*ding*
tpiradam and JhayPrice, you both have your work cut out for you. tpiradam, it's your spin. You can only tie at this point.
-
Five-hour warning for tpiradam.
-
theres a tough score to beat. let's do 11, 9 and 1
-
*tpiradam spins*
And we have tpiradam's first spin of this Showcase Showdown. He needs a dollar to tie, and it doesn't look like he'll do it with one spin.
(https://i.imgur.com/cFB7oOw.png)
Adam, you need to hit 60¢ to stick around.
*tpiradam spins again*
There's spin number two. What will we add? Hmm, I really don't see it happening.
(https://i.imgur.com/xiP0A3R.png)
*mrrrrrrrrrrp*
Sorry, tpiradam. Thanks for playing.
JhayPrice, it now falls on you. All the best!
-
C'mon dollar! 10, 6 and 3 please!
-
*JhayPrice spins*
There it goes! We are looking for that dollar. You're going to need to spin again...
(https://i.imgur.com/NvuBsIt.png)
95¢ would be a winning score on another go-around. Get that nickel!
*JhayPrice spins again*
The only space that doesn't put you over will win it for you. What do we have? You're gonna be over, JhayPrice.
(https://i.imgur.com/xqOBUz0.png)
*mrrrrrrrrrrp*
Too bad. Enjoy your prizes.
*sets wheel to 5¢*
LiteBulb88, come back over here. You have the right to spin for extra money. Whenever you're ready, give that wheel a good spin!
*LiteBulb88 spins*
All right! Round and round it goes. Those three magical spaces are coming, but it looks like you'll land as far off as you possibly can get.
(https://i.imgur.com/Zp9TZIu.png)
No extra money, but we'll see you in the Showcases at the end of the show.
We'll have some more fun when we come back!

The winner is TPIRfan#9821! You'll come on up here and play our next pricing game. Up these steps, don't be shy. I'd like to give you this prize!
George: A harp!
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/h0gAAOSweZFeu1jC/s-l640.jpg)
Display a piece of history with this antique Lyon and Healy Semi-Grand pedal harp. Built in 1910, it's fully restored so you can use it to get in the habit of playing or as a conversation piece. It's guilded with gold leaf accents and a painted sound board.
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cNgAAOSwCKVbMXst/s-l1600.jpg)
It also comes with a matching case from the same period with its original hinges, latches, and working lock and key. A prize package worth $7,700!
Me: And that harp will be yours if you can hit the Bullseye.
(https://i.imgur.com/aJwaXoB.png)
We have five products down there. You need to use some math to zero in on that range between $10 and $12. We'll let you pick three of the five products in order to do that. Listen as George describes each one.
(https://www.grocery.com/store/image/cache/catalog/vigo/vigo-importing-company-B078H64ZHP-500x500.jpg)
George: A 10-ounce package of Vigo saffron yellow rice: authentic pre-seasoned Spanish rice that not only makes a great side dish to your favorite meats, but it's the health-conscious alternative that's low in fat and high in taste.
(https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_c9ab9a87-9995-44b1-bb09-7b1a107ed169?fmt=webp&wid=400&qlt=80)
A six-pack of 12-ounce Dr. Brown's black cherry soda cans. Enjoy the smooth and refreshing flavor of black cherry with your favorite soup or deli sandwich. Dr. Brown's, a New York City kosher favorite since 1869.
(https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_0b71f028-2b7a-4cbb-9514-90392a33e0bc?wid=488&hei=488&fmt=pjpeg)
A 10-ounce bottle of Tapatío Hot Sauce. Add a bold and zesty flavor with your next Mexican meal in the comforts of your own home, and explore uncompromised taste of salsa picante with every shake of the bottle.
(https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_62471c41-e8b0-409f-87f8-8e62d2f7dfac?wid=488&hei=488&fmt=pjpeg)
A 10.75-ounce can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup: made with quality farm-grown tomatoes to give you the famous taste you know and love. Now with sea salt as a healthy alternative, it's been enjoyed for generations.
(https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_55606acd-f383-44d4-82a5-3f2e1700c88f?wid=488&hei=488&fmt=pjpeg)
Finally, from Pearls Specialties, a 6.7-ounce jar of sliced Kalamata Greek olives. Each olive is tree-ripened to a dark purple hue to give that strong flavor. Imported directly from Greece, they go great on pizza or salads.
TPIRfan#9821, now that you've heard about those five products, it's decision time. Pick one of those five items and tell me how many it takes to reach that target of $10 to $12. Remember, you can still make a mark on the board as long as your total is at least $2 but not more than $12. Which would you like first?

*yells 3 sodas from crowd*

Hmm... Odd choice, but let's start out with 8 rice.

Taking eight of the rice. I'll tell you that one package costs...

Smart shopping there, TPIRfan#9821! Congratulations!
We'll be back with more after this!
George: Stay tuned for more pricing games and the fabulous Showcases, coming up on the second half of The Price Is Right!

Welcome back! George has good news for another person in the audience. Do tell, George.
George: I will, Kevin. That news is for wpghi5! Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
Me: Right over here on the audience's left, wpghi5. Now that we have a full house again, we'll show you the next Item up for Bids...
George: Two side tables!

A pair of mahogany side tables from Bodafors. Measuring two feet in height, they make great ends to either side of your sofa, loveseat or recliner. Each has a clean, simple design with tapering legs. They also come with a drawer that has a decorative oval brass handle.

(https://i.imgur.com/C1YEZm5.png)
gamesurf, you have won!
*bell sequence*
gamesurf is going to play our fifth pricing game. Wait on up here, and we'll set it up. To do so, I want you to listen to George tell you about this!
George: A new car!
(https://images.dealer.com/ddc/vehicles/2020/Subaru/Forester/SUV/trim_Sport_0b48b5/color/Crystal%20White%20Pearl-WH7-199%2C199%2C195-640-en_US.jpg)
A brand new Subaru Forester Sport! It's the SUV for all you love with the latest to accommodate your driving. It comes with standard equipment including a 2.5-Liter four-cylinder engine, symmetrical all-wheel drive, STARLINK multimedia system, keyless entry with push-button ignition and 18-inch black finish alloy wheels, the Subaru Forester!
And you're going to take a little Vegas route to getting that car. You'll be playing the Card Game.
(https://i.imgur.com/5uJETK0.png)
First, I want you to draw from this special deck. It will determine how close you must come to the actual retail price of that Forester without going over.
(There are seven cards in the deck: please pick a number from 1-7, gamesurf)
-
Woohoo! Somehow I managed to block the old wood-paneled Card Game set from my memory, I hope the deck has 2020 values and not 1976 ones :-D
*reaches to the far end of the deck and picks card #7*
-
Your range is...
(https://i.imgur.com/yIodIci.png)
$2,000. You must come within $2,000 of the actual retail price of that car without going over. We'll speed things up by giving you a base bid of $15,000.
(https://i.imgur.com/bmFQdD9.png)
*ding*
And you'll add to your bid with these fifty-two playing cards. Deuces through nines we'll multiply by $100 before adding to your bid. Tens and face cards add $1,000. If you draw an Ace, it's wild. You must specify if you want an amount added to your bid or if you want to make your bid a certain amount should one turn up. I'll spread these across the table and ask you to pick your first card.
(To draw a card, please pick a number from 1-52.)
-
Any suggestions from the audience?
Not sure on the price, so I’ll keep drawing until I get either an ace or whatever card puts me over $20,000, and then decide at that point. Still not sure where I want to stop, so some guidance from the audience would be nice!
Drawing the following cards:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47
-
*from the audience* I'd probably stop at the first card that put me over $22,000, for a range of $22,x00-$24,x00. But that's based on my intuition, not research I've ever done on Subarus.
BTW, I hope those card picks put you in prime position to win this game!
-
Here's what I'll do. I'll post all the cards you picked in order and I'll stop to confer once you reach $20,000 or if you draw an Ace.
Your first pick:
(https://i.imgur.com/fRb01G4.png)
A deuce.
(https://i.imgur.com/Z0evRr3.png)
*ding*
Your second is...
(https://i.imgur.com/2C5BEEC.png)
A four.

Card number three is...
(https://i.imgur.com/9WjIX3J.png)
Another deuce.
(https://i.imgur.com/mjbf30O.png)
*ding*
Three cards, and you've only added $800. Something has to give. You next picked this card:
(https://i.imgur.com/hcktOE9.png)
A King! There we go!
(https://i.imgur.com/UpyluGI.png)
*ding*
Next card...
(https://i.imgur.com/paIUkMR.png)
You've drawn an eight.
(https://i.imgur.com/ub44gwA.png)
*ding*
More than halfway to your stopping point. Let's see what you pick next...
(https://i.imgur.com/bH7oiql.png)
There's a three. Let's add another $300.
(https://i.imgur.com/lRVR02F.png)
*ding*
Next card...
(https://i.imgur.com/fOLIt5u.png)
Aha! There's an Ace! What do you want that Ace to be or how much do you want to make your bid with that Ace?
-
*from crowd*
I'd go for around $23,500-$25,500
-
BTW, I hope those card picks put you in prime position to win this game!
Haha thanks!
$22,750 is my instinct, but that is not a prime number... however, $22,751 is!
Let’s make the bid $22,751 and STOP!
-
All right, let's put that on the tote board.
(https://i.imgur.com/WI4OW43.png)
*ding*
And you're also stopping here. I had to look up whether that number is prime or composite. Learn something new. The actual retail price of that Subaru: $30,230. That's a difference of...
(https://i.imgur.com/jQRq13v.png)
*buzzer, losing horns*
$7,479, and you don't win. Sorry, gamesurf. We'll see you in a bit, though.
For now, we're going to take a break before our last pricing game. Join us then!

Me: Yarrgh, matey! Ye be playin' Danger Price for all that loot!
(https://i.imgur.com/jiq2VvC.png)
That's my talk like a pirate quota for one show. JayC, among the four prizes George just described, one of them costs $2,980. What you must do is figure out which one it is and pick the other three prizes. If you can do that, you win all four prizes.
With that in mind, which prize do you want to start with?
#1, the rower
#2, the gumball machine
#3, the cowboy boots
#4, the freezer

I will start with the cowboy boots please Patrick.
