Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6049)

Shopping Spree: Gary lost ($5000 to Spend); Cabinet/Clock, Bar Table, Banjo, Dishes

It’s In The Bag: Mary Ann lost $1000

One Away: Ronnie lost; Ford Focus ($18,165)

Showcase Showdown #1: Ronnie wins with $1.00 ($1000)

Squeeze Play: Tyra lost; Hot Tub ($4910)

5 Price Tags: Joseph lost; Chrysler PT Cruiser ($18,810)

Barker’s Bargain Bar: Beverly wins; Dining Room Table and Exercise Equipment

Showcase Showdown #2: Joseph wins with $1.00 ($1000)

Showcase: Joseph wins; “Personalized License Plates Showcase” Ski Equipment, Pinball Machine, and Ford Free Star ($35,834 in prizes)

Gary, a proud Kentucky resident in full blue takes a chance at shopping in this part of Sunny California. While celebrating her day of birth, Mary Ann’s playing of It’s In The Bag may have been worth 1 commercial break. Too bad it was all for nothing once the second item priced $12.00 was revealed. Ronnie the student nurse and future care worker of Bob (including other Price staff) was 2 (Pricing Games) away from playing One Away. Ronnie’s win of $1000 on the Big Wheel made up for the 1 half’s losses, but what does the 2nd have in store for us? #27 Tyra (see jersey) was unfortunately defeated by the ever so tough Squeeze Play. 80-year-old Joseph wore a shirt featuring pictures of his “Barkers” (Dogs) for today’s special occasion. Beverly of Contestant’s Row finally escapes to the rescue of today’s show. That’s right, this "First Four" lady actually saved the show! Before today’s rather complicated Showcase Showdown #2, Bob reminds us of 67 out of over 6000 shows not having at least 1 winner. Reason for Showdown #2 being sort of complicated? All 3 contestants tied for a Spin Off and Joseph made it through as a $1000 winner. Two $1000 winners face off in today’s Showcase, featuring license plates and “Hot Spots”.

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6048)

Lucky 7: David lost; Ford Explorer

Half Off: Melissa wins $10,000 (Picked Box #7, 2 Halves of “Box Central”)

Switch?: Jessica wins by a “Switch”; Trip to Alaska and Hawaii

Showcase Showdown #1: Melissa wins with 90 cents

Take Two: Terry lost ($3174 was total); Dining Room Table, Riding Lawnmower, Treadmill, Cabinet

Let ‘Em Roll: Danny wins with 3 Rolls; Dodge Neon

Coming or Going: Editha wins by “Going”; Floor Clock ($4725)

Showcase Showdown #2: Terry wins with 95 cents

Showcase: Melissa wins; Coke Machine Replica, Pool Table, Arcade Game, and Jukebox ($34,543 in prizes)

David, another fellow who’s never known life without Price, sometimes wondered how his folks survived before September 1972, and today in May 2004 he was more interested in winning cash than a car. No need to worry David, there’s always the Big Wheel. Gentleman and ladies, Half Off has arrived! This all-new Pricing Game features rows of boxes, but only one contains the grand prize of $10,000 in cash. In order for a contestant, specifically Melissa to find that special box without the high chance of losing, she must pick at least 3 items with a price half its original retail price. Why? Because if she picks at least 1 half priced item, half of the boxes without $10,000 will be removed. As for Melissa, she managed to get 2 out of 3 half priced items right and picked the box marked #7 (not only a lucky number, but the age of her little girl, or daughter for the rest of y’all out there). At Bob’s cue of “Now!” Melissa opened the box to reveal $10,000 in cash. A perfect beginning to a fun Pricing game! Jessica proved that she’s got the Hawaiian spirit by performing a hula dance. As Editha made her run to Contestant’s Row, both of her shoes went loose and seconds later she would bend her microphone. According to Bob, everything was going well in Contestant’s Row until she came along. It’s safe to say there were 2 folks under the name “Terry” on stage today. Terry the Take Two Contestant and Terry (Teri, “The Great Haired One!”) This would be the same Editha that would win her way on stage to decide whether she’s “Coming or Going”. Showcase #1 featured Price’s own version of “The People’s Court” called “Price Court” starring Judge Lanisha, Attorney at Law Rachel, and Mr. Rich Fields as your announcer. After winning today’s Showcase, Melissa says she wants to help control the pet population with Bob, but first he reminds us to have our pets spayed or neutered.

(Another week, another show in the Price VHS archives. Hopefully this one is in yours too. Place your comments on the new Pricing game under "Comments")

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6047)

Switcheroo: Douglas wins Mop ($15); Pontiac Sunfire ($16,475)

Freeze Frame: Amanda lost; Spa ($5499)

Buy or Sell: Breana wins (+$1100); Desk, Gas Pump Replica, and Brass Bed

Showcase Showdown #1: Amanda wins with 90 cents

Grand Game: Elsie wins $10,000!

1 Right Price: Jerald wins trips to Montreal and Mazatlan ($3524)

That’s Too Much: Roger lost; Chevy Cavaler ($15,995)

Showcase Showdown #2: Roger wins with $1.00 ($1,000)

Showcase: Roger wins; Dining Room Group, Security System, and Pair of Motorcycles ($22,375 in prizes)

Douglas of Pennsylvania may have won a kayak, but a certain thing called a Pontiac Sunfire would have been more practical. No time to explain Amanda’s group The Traveling Nurses, since this is only an hour show. Only the studio audience got to hear Amanda’s “nurse tale” during a break. After escaping Contestant’s Row, Breana’s greetings to friends & family were a throw back to "This is Your Life”. Elsie of the great state of Alabama (Montgomery) made the run from audience to Contestant’s Row to the Grand Game and finally the CLR cleaning product. Jerald who lives 600 miles from Montreal will travel to Mazatlan first for 2 obvious reasons: 1. He’s from Canada. 2. He even made a little trip to the artwork of Mazatlan featured in 1 Right Price. Thanks to memories of his drill sargent in the Air Force, Roger delivered not 1, but 2 well done shouts of “That’s Too Much!” A win of $1,000 on the Big Wheel made up for Roger’s previous lost, which would give us another Roger victory run around the stage, along with 4 high fives. After our traveling nurse’s Showcase price was revealed Roger assumed that he didn’t bid close enough to his, but later it would revealed that he did indeed. Yet another victory run, plus celebrating with his crew, and last but not least a victory salute capped off the show. The Price viewers return the salute!

(Tomorrow, a all-new Pricing game will be revealed! Get those VCRs ready to tape this show for the archives.)

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6046)

Plinko: Jennifer wins $1,100 with 4 Plinko Chips

Race Game: Fredrick wins; Armoire, Patio Table, Safe, and Baskets

Money Game: Karen wins $185; Pontiac Vibe ($19,005)

Showcase Showdown #1: Jennifer wins with 90 cents

Safe Crackers: Shirley lost (Combination was 850); Bed and Pet Furniture

Pass the Buck: Elizabeth wins $6000; Ford Focus

Double Prices: Cynthia lost; TV/with HDTV Receiver ($3398)

Showcase Showdown #2: Shirley wins with 75 cents

Showcase: Shirley wins; “Bird Watching Showcase” Binoculars, Drum Set, Trip to Monte Carlo, and Trailer ($34,143 in prizes)

Roger, along with plenty of audience members got the chance to high five Bob. Starr got to shine as the one presenting Jennifer those 3 extra Plinko chips. Fredrick was well dressed for today’s playing of the Race Game, from the shorts to the tennis shoes. At the sound of Bob’s "bang!", Fredrick took it nice and easy to place those price tags beside their rightful items. After completing that task, Fredrick was quick on his feet to pull the lever to reveal that he’s won all 4 prizes. During a commercial break, an Arizona nudist colony was discovered among the audience, yet they were actually wearing some clothes. It was “El-Cheapo” I tell you, it was 05 that fooled Karen! Rich even bet that she would want that Pontiac Vibe. Unlike yesterday’s big fall, Jennifer managed to stay up after spinning the Big Wheel. From the moment Bob saw Shirley come on down, he knew this lady can be dangerous to him. After nearly attacking Bob before Safe Crackers was revealed, Shirley gave him a small hug meaning no harm. Representing the loudest group so far in the audience, Cynthia escapes both the group and Contestant’s Row to face another odd pair of opponents, a couple of price choices.

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6045)

Danger Price: Margaret wins ($1699 was Danger Price) ; Bicycle, Dining Room Table, Fireplace, and Vacuum

Hole in One: Michael wins; Dodge Caravan

Range Game: Jamie lost; Player Piano ($7500)

Showcase Showdown #1: Margaret wins with 60 cents

Barker’s Bargain Bar: Michael wins; Bar Set and Clock

Card Game: Katherine lost; Ford Focus ($15,575)

Bonus Game: Tamara wins; Living Room Group

Showcase Showdown #2: Katherine wins with 70 cents

Showcase: Margaret wins; Trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania, Trip to Thailand, Ford Mustang ($45,585 in prizes)

Margaret represented what Bob refers to as a “weird group of contestants”, featuring Katherine and Margaret as the most enthusiastic and those (Tamara and Michael) between them being forced to endure their excitement. Michael’s shirt told the story of his journey from Ohio to Price, which consisted of a flight to Las Vegas, a drive to Sunny California, and a stay of 2 days on 7800 Beverly Blvd. Did Bob successfully complete his inspiration putt, unlike Hole in One’s previous playing? The answer is yes and so did our first Michael! Jamie sporting a Bob Ross-like Afro has waited all his life to meet Bob and his first words in his like long wait were “I like your microphone”. Before taking on the Range Game, Jamie gave Bob a late birthday wish. Margaret took quite a fall on her back after taking a spin of the Big Wheel, but she managed to make it through to today’s Showcase. Our second Michael’s high fives were a little off course from his Barker’s Bargain Bar victory to the beginning of Showcase Showdown #2. 5 games later, Tamara escapes Contestant’s Row to play the Bonus Game. Before Showcase #1, we learn about a problem that’s been bugging Margaret since appearing on today’s Price, she called in sick on her job and by now the boss knows what she’s really been up too. Winning $45,585 on daytime’s most popular show should be the best excuse ever for Margaret’s boss.

Starr was given the chance to keep Lucy the Dog under control as she was being introduced to the Price viewers.

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6044)

Flip Flop: Cynthia lost; Piano ($8918)

Spelling Bee: Treffaney wins (CAR Card); Chevy Aveo

One Wrong Price: Roland lost; Washer/Dryer, Recliner (Wrong Price), and Cradle

Showcase Showdown #1: Roland wins with 85 cents

Check Game: Randall wins (Check for $1750); Pair of Motorcycles ($3928)

Cover Up: Christopher lost; Ford Escape ($20,617)

Hit Me: Judith lost; Dining Room Group

Showcase Showdown #2: Judith wins with 95 cents

Showcase: Judith wins; Dodgers Baseball Camp, TV/VCR/DVD, and Boat ($26,487 in prizes)

Starr was demonstrating the piano that Cynthia would never play due to her failing to flop instead of just flipping. Telling by her continuous jumping in Contestant’s Row, Treffaney had something in store for everyone, which included a plan at conquering Spelling Bee either way (CAR Card and Spelling “Car”). One of the chosen cards got itself a brief close up. Roland representing the peanut capital of the world (located in Virginia) unfortunately believed the price of the Cradle was wrong. Could it be that Roland did that on purpose to avoid winning a Cradle among others? Randall showed off his experience in writing checks during today's playing of the Check Game and yes he actually knows the rules of the game itself. The first 2005 model of any motor vehicle offered Price was the Ford Escape. Judith was very lucky that Mary didn’t bid $1 more than her during the second bidding process in Contestant’s Row. Somewhere along the line, Judith got lost while playing Hit Me. Judith's "hellos" as the Big Wheel was spinning almost sounded like a speech. Nope, no Double Showcase Overbid today!

In case you missed last Friday’s Daytime Emmy Awards, I must tell y'all this.....

Million Dollar Spectacular #12: (Bob’s Induction Into the Television Hall of Fame)

3 Strikes: Paul lost; Cadillac Deville ($48,210)

Grand Game: Michael wins $20,000 (Target Price $10.00)

Coming or Going: Hilary wins by “Coming”; Trailer ($8306)

Showcase Showdown #1: Hilary wins with 70 cents

Money Game: Rebecca wins; Chrysler Sibring ($27,280)

Safe Crackers: Sadie lost (Combination was 760); Chevy Impala and Luggage

Double Prices: Stacey wins; Piano ($13,010)

Showcase Showdown #2: Sadie wins with 80 cents

Showcase: Double Showcase Overbid; “The Price is Right Prize Hall of Fame Showcase” Kitchen Group, Hot Tub, and Ford Mustang (Sports Car); “Hall of Famers Showcase” Audio System, Presley Discs and Cassettes, $7,550 in cash, and Lincoln Town Car

Paul performed a little dance with sandals shortly after Bob asked him about his clothing for this special occasion. Before our contestants in Contestant’s Row got to bid on a trip to Cancun, Barbara had to make her leap from the front row into her spot previously held by Paul. Michael got what he wanted on his prowl spanning many miles, $20,000. Before getting back to business, our first of 2 chairmen/CEOs announces the big news viewers have been looking forward to witness, Bob’s induction into the Academy of Television Arts & Science’s Hall of Fame for all that he’s contributed to the vast land that is TV for 45+ years. Besides a special ceremony in June, a bust of Bob (revealed by Rachel), sculpted by a fellow member of the audience was introduced tonight. Would have been interesting if an image of Bob during his high school years was the one used in creating this bust. David’s shirt with red sleeves/white front & back should be familiar to the most loyal for viewers out there. Barbara gave Rebecca a small hit after being outbid. This is truly a rarity in both daytime and primetime; Rebecca found both ends of a car in Money Game without a dollar sign. 3 shouts of “Oh My God!” came about during her reaction. Our second chairmen/CEO giving Bob a well-deserved honor is none other than the Big Eye of CBS himself, Les Moonves. Either that segment was taped (before or after) or the entire audience has something against Lesley. Contestant Row’s very own Barker’s Beauty Judith may be a golfer, yet Stacey (filled with excitement Rich called her to come on down) was the one that would win those clubs and a chance at playing Double Prices. Yep, Stacey promises to learn how to play piano, mostly from her friend Brian in the audience. The inductees in Price’s very own Prize Hall of Fame are the following: The Refrigerator, The Hot Tub, and of course the Car. Price’s tribute to Elvis Presley continues in the “Hall of Famers Showcase”, including Mobile, Alabama’s very own Henry “Hank” Aaron and Bob. For the first time ever, a Million Dollar Spectacular’s Showcase ended in a Double Showcase Overbid, so what to do for the spin for $1 million? Draw a ticket, raffle style! Brandi was the lucky one to pull a ticket. Jay R. of the audience had the ticket with the numbers 0-8-1 for a spin of the Big Wheel. Yet again, no Price is Right millionaire. We close tonight’s spectacular with a shot of Bob’s bust that's soon to be placed in the Academy’s headquarters in North Hollywood, California.

Starr was modeling during tonight’s show and as expected she has improved quite a bit. All memories of Lanisha (until the next time she appears on the show) have faded away after viewing Starr tonight. We’ll see if she lives up to everyone else during next week’s shows. Good night everyone!

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6043)

Swap Meet: Jason wins with Model Ship ($899); Stove ($899), Washer/Dryer, and Dining Room Table

Let ‘Em Roll: Lisa wins with 2 Rolls; Chevy Cavalier

Freeze Frame: Kimberly lost; Trip to Mexico ($4436)

Showcase Showdown #1: Kimberly wins with 85 cents

Barker’s Bargain Bar: Lisa wins; Computer and Painting

One Away: Ralph wins (No Mistake); Chevy Malibu ($21,430)

Joker: Johnnie lost (Joker was behind Card #2); Piano

Showcase Showdown #2: Ralph wins with 65 cents

Showcase: Kimberly wins; Bedroom Group, Set of Golf Clubs, and Golf Cart ($18,637 in prizes)

After all of our first 4 contestants overbid, Jason managed to bid exactly right during the second bidding process. Kimberly has big news for Bob according to her shirt, “Alaska Girls Love Bob”. Lisa would later prove that she’s indeed a loyal friend and true by reminding us that the prizes featured on each Let ‘Em Roll cubes are $500, $1000, $1500, and 3 Cars. So far, Lisa has rolled 4 cubes with a car showing, but the 5th cube rolled on the floor. No need to worry, since Lisa can finish off her first chance by rolling that loose cube from her previous roll, or should I say “roll + slide” the cube. Johnnie (that’s right, it’s a female name too) shocked the audience and Bob with her shirt creating the illusion of a 2 piece swimsuit (front and back). Turns out Johnnie wants to apply for the job of a Barker’s Beauty (a modeling position to be exact). If that were possible, Johnnie would make a big difference in that department on Price. Unfortunately for our Alaskan, she won’t be spending time in a much warmer climate. Our other Lisa wins her way out of Contestant’s Row for a little bargain hunting. Ralph fresh from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (hence the name “Ralph”, as in Ralph Edwards) asked the ladies 5 times to confirm that all 5 of his chosen numbers for the price of the Malibu are right. At last, our Johnnie escapes Contestant’s Row, which gives Bob the opportunity to pull one of his introductions from his days of hosting beauty pageants. Showcase #2 featured the 1st Annual Pricey Awards and yes all models earned an award. Kimberly and the rest of her fellow Alaskans end this week’s shows by celebrating near the Golf Cart.

Folks, I have some new good news and bad news! Good news: Lanisha is gone, but is it for good? Bad news: The latest addition to the model rotation is Starr, who so far reminds me too much of Lanisha, but I’ll give her time to improve in front of the viewers next week. I wonder what are the whereabouts of Candace, who came around shortly after Claudia left for certain parts unknown.

As LeVar Burton said “and remember, you don’t have to take my word for it.”

(Tonight, 31st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards live at 8 PM CST on the Peacock Network and tomorrow night Million Dollar Spectacular #12 will air at 8/7 PM on old Columbia)

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6042)

Clock Game: Courtney wins; Dining Room Table ($899) and Stove ($999) + $1000

Shopping Spree; Mark wins ($4000 to spend); Floor Clock, Vacuum, Dinnerware, and Luggage

Pass the Buck: Nelia wins $8000 (2 Chances); Pontiac Sunfire

Showcase Showdown #1: Nelia wins with 85 cents

Squeeze Play; Marguerite lost; Catamaran ($5785)

Secret X: Daryl wins; Living Room Group

Line ‘Em Up: Betty lost; Pontiac Vibe ($18,290)

Showcase Showdown #2: Daryl wins with 70 cents

Showcase: Double Showcase Overbid; “Price’s Tribute to Elvis Presley Showcase” Trip to Graceland (Memphis, Tennessee), Trip to Las Vegas, and Trailer; “Showcase #2” Treadmill, Trip to Orlando, Florida, and a Chrysler Sebring,

After struggling to get our first 4 contestants’ bids (Marguerite bid $5000, Nelia bid $1 after her), it would have been the perfect time for Bob to return home. Courtney assumed that the stove (range) could be operated by remote control after hearing Rich’s description again by request. Nelia’s reactions were literally nice & easy after escaping Contestant’s Row with a bid other than $1 . The audience’s big differences in opinion lead the way for Nelia to only have 2 out of 3 chances for the “Pass the Buck” board. Irene took it easy too while coming on down, along with shaking the hands of fellow audience members. Marguerite, the same Marguerite that bid $5000 earlier escapes Contestant’s Row (she bid $750) for a little squeezing of big numbers. Chief Daryl of the Navy (in dress uniform) faces a certain “X”, a secret “X” to be exact. Today’s Showcase #1 featured Brandi as the King of Rock ‘N Roll. It took 1 commercial break for Nelia to realize she bid way over her Showcase’s actual price. Today’s show ends with no Showcase victory, but with Brandi performing some Presley moves, Bob shaking hands of audience members & contestants, and (gasp!) Lanisha behaving in a way that’s too much for poor old eyes.

(Folks, I have good news, bad news, and worse news! Bad news: The modeling position without rotations remains a thing of the past. Good news: “The Great Haired One” AKA Teri shall return in the following weeks. Worse news: Lanisha returns starting with today’s show)

All I can say is… Dian, Holly, Pearson Television (Fremantle Media), where were your minds in the 90s? Someday I hope that all 3 shall admit to taking part in the model position's near destruction so that all will know the truth behind the speculation popularized by star exposing media outlets such E! Entertainment Network.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6041)

Switch?: Carol wins with “no switch”; Daybed and Hockey Table

Spelling Bee: Jane wins (4 Cards); Dodge Neon

Bonkers: Florencio lost; Hot Tub ($5995)

Showcase Showdown #1: Jane wins with 50 cents

Clearance Sale: Christine lost; Chair, Luggage, and Gas Grill

Cover Up: David lost; Ford Focus ($18,420)

Pick A Pair: Carlos lost; Dining Room Group

Showcase Showdown #2: Christine wins with 65 cents

Showcase: Jane wins (Double Showcase Winner); Flowers for a Year, Trip to Amsterdam, Jeep Wrangler, Living Room Group, A Floor Clock, and a TV ($61,556 in prizes)

Carol spends her 60th birthday with Bob, which included making the decision of no price switching before Bob even explained the rules of “Switch?” Jane of Ontario, Canada, a Price viewer since age 8 thanks to her mother makes the right decision to go for the Dodge Neon instead of 2500 American Dollars. We are reminded yet again that contestants playing Bonkers shouldn’t look toward the audience for help. At 60, Carol still has the strength to spin a large spinning object, such as the Big Wheel. A surprise to a host of 32 years as he witnesses David, the president of the Rich Fields Fan Club coming on down courtesy of his idol of 4 weeks. Two items prove David is a big part of this growing society includes his shirt (photo of Rich on the front) and last but not least a shirt for Rich himself (with photos of Rich, Johnny Olson, and Rod Roddy). Christine (wearing the “Bob Barker, I Need To Come on Down” shirt) was vulnerable to causing bodily harm to Bob, so he suggests that she should use her strength on either the 4 cameramen, the stage managers, or a certain announcer with his own fan club. Our (Rich’s to be exact) fan club president David escapes Contestant’s Row without harm from a close contestant whom he outbid by $1. After confirming that our Showcase contestants remember their bids (Christine said “thank you Bob” after he complimented her on a fairly good bid), it was revealed that Jane won both Showcases with a difference of $177.

Now if y'all excuse me, I'll be searching the web for the official site of the Rich Field Fan Club.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6040)

Temptation: Brian wins; Ford Mustang ($19,145)

Coming or Going: Jill lost by “Going”; Pair of Motorcycles ($4296)

Grand Game: Kenith wins $10,000

Showcase Showdown #1: Jill wins with 65 cents

Magic #: Alvin lost (Magic Number was $1046); Cabinet and Chair

Master Key: Jeron wins Wine Cabinet (1 Key); Ford Focus and Appliances

Pushover: Thomas lost; Bed ($8499)

Showcase Showdown #2: Jeron wins with 75 cents

Showcase: Jill wins; Exercise Equipment and Hovercraft ($20,272)

Brian and a half dozen other folks in blue weren’t part of a group, they were a band of friends that got the chance of meet their favorite host, Mr. Bob Barker. We almost had what appeared to be a runaway stove incident (with Brandi doing the pushing) during today’s playing of Temptation, but in Bob’s view it was done beautifully. After a fairly long losing streak, Temptation was finally won! Jill sporting an NYPD cap should have stayed with her first instinct of “Coming” instead of “Going”. Kenith skips his daily routine as of 5th grade teacher in Alabama (another fellow Heart of Dixie resident) to win himself $10,000 in cash. Lucille the Dog was brought forward before the eyes of Price viewers worldwide. Our retired cowboy who happens to have residents in not 1, but 2 states (Wisconsin and Missouri) hovered around 85 a bit before moving the Magic Number up to $1046. More on hour resident cowboy from up north, he was defeated by his own age of 75 during Showcase Showdown #2.

Get ready...for the 31st Daytime Emmy Awards later this week on the Peacock Network!

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6039)

Credit Card: Grace wins (Credit Limit $2100, $70 left); Microwave, Sofa, Containers, World Book Encyclopedias, and Stemware

Plinko: Pram wins $10,000 with 3 Plinko Chips

Any Number: Ricky wins; Chevy Aveo ($14,835)

Showcase Showdown #1: Pram wins with 70 cents

Double Prices: Kimberly wins; Floor Clock ($3425)

Money Game: Jessica wins; Ford Focus ($16,822)

Bullseye: Richard wins; Bedroom Group.

Showcase Showdown #2: Richard wins with 20 cents

Showcase: Double Showcase Overbid; “Price is Right Fashion Showcase” Laptop Computer, Greenhouse, Boat; “Second Showcase” Dining Room Group, Soda Fountain, Trip to Singapore

Shortly after Grace’s victory in spending with plastic, Bob reminds us that we have to keep watching in order to know how to play Pricing Games such as Credit Card. We have witnessed a clashing of the titans under the corporate umbrella of Fremantle Media, in other words Pram (wearing a shirt bearing the popular “American Idol” TV program’s logo) performed the most unique “come on down” in the eyes of Bob in a long period of time. After almost ruining the general populace appeal of the show with his continuous “She Bangs!” dance moves on stage (Rich had good laugh after Pram uttered the term “bubble butt” other than “swivel hips” to describe himself), Pram says he glad he didn’t attend the “American Idol” program. Ricky was yet another very physical contestant after viewing his victory jump after conquering Any Number. All it took was a bid of $24 to win Jessica her escape out of Contestant’s Row for a playing of the Money Game. Richard of the Navy promises to send his mother that Bedroom Group he won without the task of hitting to eye of the bull. Showcase Showdown #2 ends with the amazing Spin Off conclusion of Jessica being a nickel away from Richard’s 20 cents. 5 winners + a Pram later, today’s show ends with Double Showcase Overbid unfortunately.

Get ready…..for Million Dollar Spectacular #12 at last this Saturday night at 8/7 PM on CBS!

(Besides Price, you keep this site’s morale going and going…so I encourage you to place your comment.)

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6038)

Range Game: Alan lost; Trip to St. Martins Islands ($6080)

Pathfinder: Mary lost; Ford F-150 ($22,370)

Race Game: Edith wins Flashlights and Stove; Dining Room Table and Dresser

Showcase Showdown #1: Mary wins with 95 cents

Pick A Number: Evangelina wins by picking “5”; Grand Piano ($8295)

Now or Then: Lloyd lost (“Then 1998”); Jukebox

One Away: Mona wins; Ford Focus ($18,195)

Showcase Showdown #2: Mona wins with 95 cents

Showcase: Mary wins; Living Room Group, Sun Glasses, and Powerboat ($18,617 in prizes)

Alan proved that he’s not quite a loyal friend and true by answering Bob’s question on the exact length of time ‘til the range can start again with “24 hours”. Edith of the Navy’s original bid of $450 now in the hands of Evangelina fortunately wasn’t a big mistake for her, but it was a gain for Mary. She may have stumbled a bit with the rules of the Race Game, but Edith did well proving her loyalty to the show. Lloyd and the rest of Paxton, Illinois must really love Bob (according to the “Paxton, IL loves Bob Barker” shirt) as you can tell by him attempting what Denise (of “Team Bob”) did earlier by stepping on stage and then residing at his spot in Contestant’s Row. Bob only threatened to call security on Lloyd. Another reason why Lloyd was in such a hurry arises after he escapes Contestant’s Row. Turns out that he's waited a long time to meet Bob up on stage. Mona celebrates her day of birth on today’s show and wins herself the Price viewer’s ultimate gift! Showcase #2 featured Price’s version of phone psychic Miss Cleo, except this one was in no shape or form a scam. Get ready for a week of prime time game shows with the return of Super Millionaire and of course Million Dollar Spectacular #12 celebrating Bob's induction into the Television Hall of Fame.

For those wondering over for the past 2 days, y'all can sigh in relief. Rachel is back on the show!

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6037)

Pushover: Vicki lost; Floor Clock ($6425)

3 Strikes: Stephen lost; Lincoln ($40,732)

Check Out: Lauren wins (by 69 cents); Bedroom Group

Showcase Showdown #1: Stephen wins with 70 cents

Cliffhangers: Dorothy wins (19 steps); Trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Barker’s Bargain Bar: Dorthea wins; Secretary Desk and Sofa

That’s Too Much: Kathryn wins; Pontiac Sunfire ($15,785)

Showcase Showdown #2: Kathryn wins with 40 cents

Showcase: Stephen wins; Kitchen Group, Swimwear, and Boat ($26,738 in prizes)

Introducing the blushing bride of Contestant’s Row Kathryn, who’s future marriage all dependes on whether she escapes Contestant’s Row or not. At first it appeared Vicki was preparing some attack on Bob with her arms, so he avoided her for a couple of seconds (even tried the old dressing room trick) until realizing she was only trying to kiss his famous right cheek. Stephen of Canada’s name was pronounced “Step Pen” as he was called to come on down. Bob assured Kathryn that their entire conversation on her possible marriage was edited out (unfortunately, no) before Stephen arrived in Contestant’s Row. We were all shocked, including Bob that “0” was not the last digit in the Lincoln’s price after hearing Stephen’s obviously wrong guesses. Looks like Stephen want to consider staying in a resting home after getting 4 of the 5 digits right except for that “2”. Dorthea (the other Dorothy) managed to come up on stage after being called to come on down and was walked back to Contestant’s Row in the midst of audience applause. After Dorothy’s win, it was Dorthea’s time to escape Contestant’s Row legally. As expected by some, the wedding is still on for Kathryn after escaping Contestant’s Row at the very last minute.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6036)

Lucky 7: Anthony wins; Jeep Wrangler ($18,495)

Punch A Bunch: Christina wins $100 with 4 Punches

Grocery Game: Felicia lost; Trip to Mazatlan, Mexico

Showcase Showdown #1: Christina wins with 90 cents

Barker’s Markers: Forrest lost; Bar Set, Baker’s Rack, and Painting

Money Game: Huong wins; Chevy Aveo ($14,335)

Double Prices: Gregory lost; Spa/with AM/FM Radio ($8600)

Showcase Showdown #2: Huong wins with $1.00 ($1000)

Showcase: Huong wins; Washer/Dryer, Trip to New Orleans, Dodge Dakota ($38,484 in prizes)

For the first time since marrying his wife, something wonderful has come into the life of Anthony shortly after making the request before the eyes of millions. Christina’s winning bid including her lucky #3 (3 kids and 3 grandchildren) won her way out of Contestant’s Row for a little hole punching on the Punchboard. Too bad lucky #3 failed Christina this time after punching out 3 corners of the Punchboard except for the spot located on the top left hand corner. One of the products featured in the Grocery Game was a package of low carbohydrate tortillas. She may have not won by 30 cents on the Big Wheel, but if you multiply that score with the number of Christina’s children or grandchildren, you get 90 cents. 83-year-old John of the audience celebrates both his birthday and wedding anniversary with wife Sylvia on today’s show. Forrest’s run from North Carolina would end at a screeching halt during Showcase Showdown #2 thanks to a relatively short contestant with a big smile under the name Huong. Gregory sporting an arm holding device due injury on a surf board believed to have seen that Spa/AM/FM Radio on a recent show with a price very close to $10,000, but that price in mind cost him victory at Double Prices. According to Roger (no glasses this time), Gregory spinning the Big Wheel was the first time a contestant under the constraints of an injured arm still spun the wheel. Christina used lucky #3 yet again for her Showcase bid. Before our lucky #3 contestant left us, she asked Bob which model is Shane. Her face had plenty of time on camera after Christina’s question.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6035)

Plinko: Verla wins $11,000 with 5 Plinko Chips

Eazy az 1, 2, 3: Andrew wins; Desk, Flatware, Daybed

Card Game: Mabel lost; Pontiac Grand AM ($19,145)

Showcase Showdown #1: Verla wins with $1.00 ($1000)

One Right Price: William lost; Hockey Table and Cabinet ($1318)

Any Number: Duchein wins; Ford Focus ($14,765)

Hit Me: Mary wins; Dining Room Group

Showcase Showdown #2: Duchein wins with 30 cents

Showcase: Duchein wins; Digital Cameras, trip to Switzerland, St. Choix, and Japan ($36,340 in prizes)

Bob enters the studio through the audience for the microphone and lets not forget the last high five, this one being from Erika this time. After Verla escaped Contestant’s Row, Bob asked her that all-important question, “Are you drunk?” Andrew the happy bartender didn’t pay any attention to Rich’s prize descriptions just so he can ask Bob if he really beat up Sandler in “Happy Gilmore”. Mindy the Dog was brought forward upon the eyes of the Price viewers. Opal in full blue clothing, sporting a large hat was too over excited to view the outdoor stove up for bids on the Turntable. “C. L. R.!” quoting the audience chanting the item with the Ace that would win Mary a Dining Room Group. Nope, we didn’t lose the last few minutes of today’s show to Rather & Company, thank goodness.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6034)

Most Expensive: Larry lost; Dining Room Table (Most Expensive), Popcorn Cart, and Exercise Machine

It’s In The Bag: William wins $1000

Cover Up: Fannie lost; Ford Focus ($15,872)

Showcase Showdown #1: Fannie wins with 85 cents

Check Game: Crystal wins (Check for $2600); Trip to Canada ($3062)

5 Price Tags: Anne lost (2 Tags): Pontiac Vibe ($18,222)

Coming or Going: Brian wins by “Going”; Entertainment Center and TV ($6618)

Showcase Showdown #2: Brian wins with 80 cents

Showcase: Brian wins; Set of Golf Clubs, Stereo System, and Chevy Impala ($32,592 in prizes)

Larry the popcorn loving exercise enthusiast from Chicago won’t have to worry about getting overweight from all the popcorn after his lost. Nope, William’s wife Phyllis was not responsible for him only winning $1000. Retiree Fannie may have not been a certain other “Fannie” (Flagg), but this one does represent a part of the Southeast region (Louisiana to be exact). Crystal bearing a picture of her child on her shirt successfully won herself a trip back to the home country of Canada the second both Brandi and Erika revealed the trip’s price. Bad news, Crystal’s hometown is not near Canada’s Rocky Resort in Bente and the good news is that she’s never been there. 90-year-old Anne kept her promise to kiss 80-year-old Bob after she escapes Contestant’s Row, which all came shortly after Rich called her to come on down. Nope, no treasure under the stage this time according to the metal detector under the care and control of Rachel. Brian and Crystal were both a nickel short of Anne’s score during their first spins of Showcase Showdown #2.

Once again, Rather & Company took our Price (along with 1/6 of today’s Young & the Restless); this time we only lost the results of today’s Showcase. Our CBS station WKRG-TV5 twice “attempted” to take back the airwaves from CBS News with a 5-day weather forecast and a Jean Brown campaign commercial for the Alabama Supreme Court. Both “attempts” lasted under 3 seconds.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6033)

Master Key: Nicole lost; Flatware, Gumball, Chevy Cavalier

Bonkers: Joseph lost; Trip to Mexico ($3824)

Grand Game: Jenny wins $10,000

Showcase Showdown 1: Nicole wins with 75 cents

Magic #: Zuleika lost (Magic # was 1019); Recycling Bin ($1130) and Bed ($2248)

Line ‘Em Up: Andrea wins; Dodge Neon ($15,480)

Squeeze Play: Socorro wins; Floor Clock ($3785)

Showcase Showdown #2: Andrea wins with 90 cents

Showcase: Nicole wins; Dining Room Group, Maid Service, and Snowmobile ($24,118 in prizes)

Due to circumstances beyond my control on modern society, Showcase Showdown #2 and Showcase were not seen in these parts of the North America continent, thanks of the likes of Mr. Daniel Rather and Mr. Donald Rumsfeld. In fact, I was unable to view today’s show, but on the positive side I finally got to experience the outside world for more than 5 hours. So I forced myself to round up details on today’s Price from a certain site that I won’t mention by name. Ah, it feels good to view a summary that’s not confusing and gets straight to the point. That of course refers to the summaries on this site!

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6032)

Step Up: Brian wins Door Cabinet, Computer, and Dining Room Table (+$1500)

Coming or Going: Bethany lost; Trip to New York ($3874)

On The Spot: Vanessa wins; Pontiac Sunfire

Showcase Showdown #1: Bethany wins with 95 cents

Barker’s Bargain Bar: Shannon wins; Dishes and Motorcycle

Card Game: Matthew lost (within $1000); Pontiac Vibe ($18,220)

Hi Lo: Robert wins; Living Room Group

Showcase Showdown #2: Shannon wins with $1.00 ($1000)

Showcase: Bethany wins; Bedroom Group, TV, and Electric Vehicle ($23,094 in prizes)

Washington’s aspiring actor Brian makes his national debut on today’s show and reveals to all that he’s single after wild reaction from a few female members of the audience. Like single actor Brian, Bethany is also from Washington, creating a mini-version of a Washington convention as Bob called it. On the Spot, hated by some, liked by the silent majority of Price viewers (including me!) finally lost somebody to its mighty black spot. In other words, somebody finally won! Brian leaves us during Showcase Showdown #1 to certain parts unknown in the world of show business. May want to keep tabs on Brian after appearing on today’s Price. During a commercial break, audience member Katie of the Marines got a standing ovation after her return from service in Western Asia. Half a show and 1 Pricing Game later, Matthew bursting with a week’s worth of enthusiasm escapes Contestant’s Row for a little game involving big cards. Erika of Contestant’s Row, meet Erika, Price’s model from now to the very end. Thanks to his wife rubbing her own back, Robert completed Hi Lo’s line up of high priced products with a pain reliever. Showcase #1 was quite a “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Showcase” (The movie, a Trip to Madrid, Spain, and Chrysler). We end today’s expedition into Price’s excellence with Bethany & Company filling up every last capacity of the electric vehicle. Where to go Bethany, The Late Late Show or The Young & the Restless?

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6031)

Make Your Move: Jeanette wins; Coffee Maker ($80), Violin ($930), and Bed ($3074)

Hole in One: Sandra wins; Ford Focus (+$500)

Switch?: Christopher lost; Grill and Bar Set

Showcase Showdown #1: Jeanette wins with $1.00 + 5 cents ($6000)

Plinko: Jordan wins $11,100 with 3 Plink Chips

Most Expensive: Rami wins; Treadmill, Cabinet (Most Expensive), and Dining Room Table

Money Game: Nicholas wins; Dodge Dakota ($19,735)

Showcase Showdown #2: Nicholas wins with $1.00 + 15 cents ($6000)

Showcase: Jeanette wins; Living Room Group, Trip to Fiji, Swimwear ($31,461)

Bob confirms that Jeanette actually represents the state of Michigan college (sweatshirt proves that) after jokingly saying that she’s from North Carolina. Neither the audience nor Bob’s failed imitation of The Master’s latest winner of the Green Jacket stopped Sandra from claiming Hole in One victory. Christopher of the Air Force happens to be a pilot for the Thunderbirds air shows. “Monkey Grass”, was shouted by an audience member as Jeanette was about to spin the Big Wheel for a big surprise. After a Bob & Rich conversation in whisper mode, our second Jeanette was called to come on down. Bringing back Plinko for another playing was well worth it today after Jordan’s win of $10,000 with the 3rd Plinko chip and last but not least "the lovely Erika" being the one to give Jordan her other Plinko chips. Not much reaction from the audience after Rami made his decision, but it was probably for the best. “The Power of Thought” (A combination of the minds of Bob, Nicholas, Cameraman Lee, and Roger) was partly responsible for the back half of the truck appearing behind 35. Nicholas (wearing the “Bob is God” shirt) didn’t need “The Power of Thought” to win himself $6000 on the Big Wheel, just the simple thought of giving a shout out to family in the audience, which he did in his own type of manner.

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6030)

Shopping Spree: Wendy wins ($4000+ to spend); Popcorn Cart, Dining Room Table, Art Supplies, and Clock

Punch A Bunch: Evangeline wins $300 with 4 punches

Any Number: Kara wins; Dodge Neon ($15,720)

Showcase Showdown #1: Kara wins with 90 cents

One Wrong Price: Burnett lost; Guitar, Cast Iron Stove, and Cradle

Let ‘Em Roll: Joan wins with 2 rolls: Ford Mustang

Double Prices: Tad wins; Trip to Jamaica ($6010)

Showcase Showdown #2: Tad wins with 85 cents

Showcase: Tad wins; “Mars Rover Showcase” Washer/Dryer, Hot Tub, Buick Century ($35,642 in prizes)

Wendy the red headed police officer from San Diego used her communication skills with the audience to proceed through the entire spending process of Shopping Spree. Evangeline (interesting name!) also communicated-a-plenty with the audience for advice on the spots to punch on the Punchboard, yet a certain fellow out there would lead to way to her final hole punched after a “Second Chance” slip. Should have listened to Bob saying the audience’s so-called “punch advice” doesn’t make a difference. I believe Kara didn’t want to go down in Price history (courtesy of producer/Price historian Roger) as the second contestant to pick every other digit in a car’s price from the second to the very last, which could explain why she picked “9” before saying “0”. Burnett joins Bob not to discuss more Baltimore baseball, but to play One Wrong Price. Joan of the “Sweet, Sweeter, and Sassy Group” and supporter of the SPCA (on the back of shirt) was one of those few contestants to win Let ‘Em Roll with only 2 rolls. After 5 pricing games, Tad finally escapes Contestant’s Row for the path that would lead him to the Showcase. Tad and Burnett managed to pass Bob’s Big Wheel quiz, except for Sweeter Joan who assumed that $500 is won after the wheel stops on a green section during the Bonus Spin. Showcase #1 featured actual photos of Mars (thanks “Spirit” and “Opportunity”), which have Price’s proof of civilization once existing on the planet, such as a traffic light for vehicles such as a Buick Century and a lounge chair with swimwear for, well y’all get the point. Unfortunately for Tad, he’ll never have to the chance to view the foot arches of the lovely Erika up close while on the boar featured in Showcase #2 that Kara ended up with after passing the “Mars Rover Showcase”. Oh well, Tad became today’s Showcase winner anyway!

After today’s successful mission to put DIRECTV 7S into orbit, Price viewers (including myself) who have the satellite TV service, yet we don’t have local channels shall have them once and for all starting in June. So prepare to say goodbye to the old antenna/rabbit ears to remain a loyal friend and true to Price.

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6029)

Switcheroo: Susan wins; Chevy Aveo ($14,420), Electric Wok, and Sharpener

Clearance Sale: Ernest lost; Soccer Table, Refrigerator, and Bar Set

Clock Game: Lyndee wins; Dining Room Table ($649) and Daybed ($832) (+$1000)

Showcase Showdown #1: Ernest wins with 85 cents

Pushover: Quint lost; TV and Armoire ($4174)

Pick A Pair: Monte wins; Trip to China

One Away: Emi lost; Ford Focus ($16,325)

Showcase Showdown #2: Monte wins with 95 cents

Showcase: Ernest wins; Trip to Miami, Sofa, and A Ford Focus Pair ($35,503 in prizes)

So far Susan has won 3 prizes under 30 seconds, but is one of them the Chevrolet Aveo? For the next 30 seconds of Switcheroo, we witnessed her fiddling around with two digits (except for car’s digit) in order to win all 5 prizes, but decided to leave them alone near the end. Bob was able to remember Susan’s entire second half of Switcheroo, or so it seemed to the audience/viewers. After surviving a punch from Lyndee after bidding $1 more than her, Ernest escaped Contestant’s Row just in time for the latest of many Price is Right Clearance Sales. The legend itself, AKA the Clock Game returns to be played by Ernest's nemesis Lyndee! Ernest VS Lyndee continues into Showcase Showdown #1 with the outcome of sweet victory and revenge for Ernest. Donald of Contestant’s Row assumed the floating hot tub’s actual price to be around $3000, which would be perfect compared to a certain tub Bob had to offer. Quint wanted to know if the TV set is included with the armoire. I guess that clip of Friday’s show featured on the TV through him off a bit. Monte, weighing 222 lbs., future heavyweight champion, defeats the pairs of Pick A Pair, which would lead him to the title bout that is Showcase Showdown #2. Besides Monte earning the title “Future Heavyweight Champion” during today’s Showcase, Ernest earned the title “Earnest the Molar”, reflecting his survival of Lyndee and his eventual revenge thanks to his spin of the Big Wheel.

Million Dollar Spectacular #11 (Voting Encouragement)

Lucky 7: Jillian lost; Chevy Corvette

It's In The Bag: Emmy wins $2000

Pathfinder: Jenna wins; Jeep Wrangler ($22,895)

Showcase Showdown #1: Jenna wins with 55 cents

Range Game: Raphael wins; Entertainment Center and TV ($11,696)

Temptation: Alaa lost; Dodge Ram ($23,415)

Switch: Brittany wins with a "Switch"; Drum Set and Untility Vehicle

Showcase Showdown #2: Brittany wins with 85 cents

Showcase: Jenna wins; Computer, Trip to Washington, D.C., and Cadillac Escalade

Another weekend, another show full of young voters, and still no $1 million winner. Lucky 7 returns for an evening playing with no crashes involving the Corvette. You thought Thursday's show would be the last we would ever see of Lanisha until tonight's show. Many of us must have thought the same. Through out Temptation's playing, Bob constantly had to tell Alaa that the numbers that he choose are not neccessarily right until the entire price of the truck is revealed. Audience reaction took part in Alaa's excitement over his chosen numbers, two would turn out to be wrong. Showcase #2 featured prizes that would make rather interesting polling places, even though a sauna would give the ink the "run of the well" if it's in use.

Get ready for the last of this series of Million Dollar Spectaculars in a couple of weeks.
