Cheers loyal readers, Price is Right fans, and casual viewers!
I'd like to first off, thank you for all your support over the last 2+ years as this small humble website has grown in popularity. We now reach an astonishing number of viewers per day, ten-fold of what we had when we first started out!
I'd like to also extend my deepest thanks to Mario500, our resilient, reliable, and efficient poster over the last couple of years. Mario500 has rarely missed a day, and has juggled posting here and at his own personal blog. I hope that all of you who read this site appreciate his work, and thank him (using the comments is just fine) for his hard work and dedication!
Lastly, this message is not merely to thank some people, it's to announce some changes are around the corner. An updated games list, a new e-mail address for viewer mail, new FAQ's, new stats, new everything is just around the corner. This site needs and deserves a slight overhaul and update after the number of viewers that read the blog portion of this website.
Again, thank you all, have a great summer, and look for the improved site in the coming days and weeks!

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6224)
Range Game: Eric wins; Trip to Sedona, Arizona ($2847)
Pocket Change: Stephen wins; Pontiac Vibe ($17,920)
Race Game: Williamson wins Grandfather Clock; Stemware, Armoire, and Treadmill
Showcase Showdown #1: Eric wins with 80 cents
Squeeze Play: Nicole lost (removed “9”); Bed ($4955)
Money Game: Nicole wins $225; Ford Ranger ($15,941)
Bullseye: Felicia wins; Dining Room Group
Showcase Showdown #2: Felicia wins with 95 cents
Showcase: Eric wins; Living Room Group, 47-inch TV Set, and Trip to Lisbon ($22,997 in prizes)
Representing Santa Barbara, California’s Price majors was Eric, who could possibly know where the state of Arizona is located without a map. Kringle the Dog was introduced on today’s edition of excellence. Williamson had more than one price tag near their respective prizes, yet this Race Game would end with him only winning one prize. Neither one of our female contestants named "Nicole" advanced to the Showcase, but neither one left Television City in Los Angeles empty handed. Felicia found a small version of the bullseye she tried to hit three times, including a complete miss of the target. Today's Showcases featured "The Beatles" compact discs, an LCD TV Set, and a Trip to Lisbon. We end today's show with Eric's crew taking over the Turntable set, but it never stopped Bob from delivering his daily pet population control message or even his goodbeye. Good day!

Our audience had to guide Alice through out Ten Chances, but at the very end she managed to win the Cookware despite negative reaction. Before allowing Alice to use her 10th chance, Bob made sure that the Ten Chances operator doesn't let anything to fall from the game set. Representing the USA's Navy was Adam, who chose the path of "Going" rather than "Coming". Rhonda lost $3000 after finding the her first "Lose Everything", followed by the one that ended this game. Today's Showcases featured trips from Holland to China, an Espresso Machine, and a Pontiac automobile. We end this weeks's worth of shows with Rhonda celebrating with her crew after becoming today's top winner, despite losing $3000 in Pass the Buck.

(This is becoming too common, no comments from a writer who writes for two different weblogs around the same time of day. This brings the need of a regular show commentator to post his or her thoughts under "Comments" back to mind. Hopefully something can be arranged someday, because recapping and commenting on a show like Price can be quite difficult for a viewer such as myself.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6221)
Switcheroo: Cassondra wins Ford Focus ($18,635), Drink Mixer ($65), Garment Steamer ($80), Lava Lamp ($29), and Sound Machine ($40)
Swap Meet: Sunburst lost (Swap Item Gold Pendant $1999); Washer/Dryer, Electric Guitars ($1999), and Home Gym
Pushover: Michael wins; Chevy Cobalt ($16,190)
Showcase Showdown #1: Sunburst wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Bonkers: Bonnie wins; Hot Tub ($4705)
Let ‘Em Roll: Sofia wins $500 with 3 Rolls; Pontiac Sunfire
Barker’s Bargain Bar: Michael wins; 52-inch TV Set (Bargain of $2000) and Sofa
Showcase Showdown #2: Bonnie wins with 70 cents
Showcase: Sunburst wins; Dining Room Table, Golf Equipment, and Golf Cart ($20,082 in prizes)
"All of them" said one audience member before Cassondra learned that she won Switcheroo on the first try. The year 1984 appears to when the last perfect Switcheroo victory was celebrated, according to Bob and Roger in the producers' corner. "Sunburst" is another name most loyal viewers shall remember for quite a while. Out of all the possible prices in Pushover, $16,190 was more likely to be the orper price rather than one with three "1" digits. Yet another perfect win today, this time the celebration was around Bonkers. Prize money worth up to $500 is still quite a lot for Sofia. Today's Showcases featured neighbors, a Dodge Caravan, and the Golf Cart. We end today's show with Sunburst and her fellow "Marine wives" celebrating on stage.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6220)
Eazy Az 1, 2, 3: Kathryn wins ; Espresso Machine, Dining Room Table, and Scuba Gear
Grand Game: Taylor lost (Target Price $6.00)
3 Strikes: Marilyn wins (No Strikes); Lincoln Town Car ($43,269)
Showcase Showdown #1: Kathryn wins with $1.00 ($1000)
1 Right Price: Essie wins; Trip to Montreal, Canada and Mazatlan ($2373)
Card Game: Kasey wins ($2000 card); Ford Ranger ($15,645)

Showcase Showdown #2: Kasey wins with 40 cents
Showcase: Kathryn wins; “The Price is Right Train Depot” Showcase, Riding Lawn Mower, China Cabinet, and Pair of Motorcycles ($23,763 in prizes)
Audience reaction changed from positive to “woah” as the price of the Espresso Machine was revealed in Eazy Az 1, 2, 3, but applause would return less than a second after the Dining Room Table price. was revealed. Viewers witnessed a rare sort of victory in 3 Strikes, as the lady bearing the long form of “Mary” won herself a Lincoln automobile without the strikes. Kathryn managed to beat Taylor’s score 95 cents by only a nickel, making her $1000 richer. It’s interesting to note that these three all escaped the green section of Contestant’s Row, until Essie “broke the spell” and won herself a vacation spanning two North American countries. The new blue deck in the Card Game is still in place and Casey managed to find one of the old $2000 cards as the margin between his bid and the Ford Ranger's actual price. Mary made the winning change in Side By Side at the very last moment, despite some negative reaction. Today’s Showcases featured the Train Depot, a Trailer, and a Pair of Motorcycles on The Price is Right Train’s caboose. We end today’s show with Kathryn and her crew celebrating in the depot.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6217)
Triple Play: Garlando lost; Chevy Cobalt ($16,110), Ford Mustang ($20,555)
Plinko: Eric wins $2500 with 5 Plinko chips
Pushover: Shauna lost; Spa ($5334)
Showcase Showdown #1: Eric wins with 85 cents
Hi Lo: Bailey wins; Living Room Group
Dice Game: Janelle wins (rolled “4”); Chrysler PT Cruiser ($16,415)
Double Prices: Tracy lost; Piano ($3395)
Showcase Showdown #2: Janelle wins with 95 cents
Showcase: Eric wins; “Inner Child” Showcase, Car Bed, Slide, and Pontoon Boat ($28,664 in prizes)
Garlando was surrounded by three doors’ worth of automobiles, but his sights were set too far on the actual price of the Ford Mustang, which is only $555 above $20,000. Future television broadcaster and Canadian resident Eric became $2500 richer in Plinko today. Despite the cold weather in her part of Canada, Shauna was simply overjoyed after the Spa was revealed as the Pushover prize. All three of our contestants used the short time of Showcase Showdown #1 to say hello to the folks at home. Janelle’s choice of going higher than the rolled dice of “5” actually scared Bob shortly before the “6” was revealed. Tracy happens to have a 9-year-old piano player at home, so this piano featured in Double Prices would have been an excellent gift. Today’s Showcases featured some “Inner Child” insight, a boat, and trips going around the world. We end today’s show around the Pontoon Boats, with all the hugs and handshakes.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6216)
Range Game: Debra lost; Dodge Neon ($15,615)
Grand Game: Troy wins $10,000; (Target Price: $6.00)
Master Key: Wanda wins Trip to San Diego (1 Key); Chair and Chevy Aveo
Showcase Showdown #1: Debra wins with 75 cents
Race Game: Courtney wins Baker’s Rack and Books; Dining Room Table and Banjo
One Away: Benjamin lost; Ford Escape ($21,615)
Flip Flop: Bonnie lost by “flipping”; ($6975); Desk and Computer
Showcase Showdown #2: Bonnie wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Showcase: Debra wins; Queen Elizabeth II on Vacation” Showcase, Fireplace, Day Bed, and Chevy Malibu ($28,273 in prizes)
Debra was the first of today’s two “wonderful contestants”, despite letting the range in her Pricing Game continue by so little. Troy’s final item in Grand Game was a spray bottle of Tilex, which he used in comparison with the item above $6.00 for two different audience reactions. The middle key in Master Key was the one to win Wanda a trip to San Diego, not too far from Television City in Los Angeles. Courtney would have won the other two prizes if only she had used the rest of Race Game’s time wisely. Bonnie was our second “wonderful contestant” with a positive attitude made for the show. After Bonnie’s first spin in Showcase Showdown #2, members of the audience actually booed her for the week spin shortly after chants of “Bonnie!” filled the studio. Bob’s help at the wheel advanced Bonnie's chances of earning a place in the Showcase, plus $1000 for getting $1.00. Today’s Showcases featured a background worthy of an encore, a Trip to Monte Carlo, and a Chevy Malibu. We end today’s show with our two great contestants hugging after everyone learned that Debra is today’s Showcase winner.
(Folks, a word for the wise on tonight's TV programming. Once again, the E! Entertainent Network is airing the awful "True Hollywood Story" focusing on Price's misfortunes rather than the history and all the good times. As someone who viewed this program on its original night of showing in 2002, I find it safe to say that it's not worth any Price loyalist or game show fanatic's time. For the last time, avoid this 9:00PM Central time airing of "True Hollywood Story" at all costs for the sake of Price and your view of the show.)

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6215)
Most Expensive: Jeffrey wins; Lawn Mower, Bar Set (Most Expensive), and Cuckoo Clock
Any Number: Michael wins Secretary Desk ($532); Pontiac Vibe ($18,476)
It’s In The Bag: Brittany lost $2000
Showcase Showdown #1: Michael wins with 60 cents
Freeze Frame: David wins; Trip to Rio De Janeiro ($4926)
Bonus Game: Larry wins (Bonus in Square #2); Dining Room Group
Money Game: Diane wins; Ford Focus ($19,035)
Showcase Showdown #2: David wins with 90 cents
Showcase: David wins; Bedroom Group, Beach Towels, and Wave Runner ($23,446 in prizes)
Jeffrey not far from Television City in sunny California became the owner of a trio of prizes by simply choosing an expensive prize that an almost unanimous audience agreed upon. After a few moments of thought, a well-dressed Michael made his winning bid of $10. Unfortunately for the front group in pink making up a good part of the audience, Brittany wasn’t satisfied with $2000. Canadian viewer David has nothing to worry about when it comes to the expenses of traveling to Rio De Janeiro, because this trip worth almost $5000 was won in Price’s Freeze Frame game. Out of three windows won in Bonus Game, the second one had the “Bonus” Larry needed to win his own Dining Room Group. Diane wearing a shirt proudly stating that her two young female adults are in the Navy and Army won herself a Ford automobile without any dollar signs showing up. Today’s Showcases featured towels, unedited fairy tale drafts, and a Chevy Corvette. After learning that Michael was over $30,000 off from the actual price of his Showcase with the Corvette, David would found out that he’s neither over, nor his difference was greater than Michael’s. We end today’s show with Michael and a member of his crew in the new bedroom.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6214)
Lucky 7: Loretta wins ($1 left); Jeep Wrangler ($19,725)
Punch A Bunch: Corri wins $5000 with 4 Punches
Switch?: Trenton wins with a “Switch”; Clock and Cabinet
Showcase Showdown #1: Corri wins with 90 cents
Take Two: Wayne lost (Chair and Stemware Total $3188); Drum Set and Desk Set
Line ‘Em Up: Kathleen wins; Tea Cart, DVD Player, Dining Room Table, and Ford Focus ($17,162)
Hit Me: Heather wins (House Hits 22); Bedroom Group
Showcase Showdown #2: Wayne wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Showcase: Corri wins; Home Workout Center and Trip to Tahiti ($29,256 in prizes)
After Bob turned Loretta away from the audience, she would see her new mean of transportation make its way on stage for Lucky 7. Corri was Bob’s latest victim of his curiosity for what amount of money from the Punchboard would make a contestant happy. He managed to get “$1000” out of Corri before revealing that she’s now five times happier. A couple of black cats from the same litter made their world debut before Price’s audience, whom will eventually receive their own names, possibly the ones Bob suggested. Before Trenton reached the stage, he appeared to Bob as a gentle fellow for his height. Kathleen had none of the Ford automobile’s three digits in their proper spaces on the first try, but things would go uphill for the next few seconds of audience guidance. Heather of the USA Navy escapes at the last possible moment for an intense game of black jack, involving items priced ten times the actual price and those priced exactly right. Lucky for her, the House busted, according to a member of the audience reminding casino amateur Bob. Wayne becomes $1,000 richer during the Big Wheel’s second appearance today. Today’s Showcases featured an “Angel Diva” interested in “The Other Place”, a Trailer, and a Trip to Tahiti.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6213)
Clock Game: Ryan wins (14 seconds left); Sofa ($523) and Fireplace ($999) (+$1000)
Pathfinder: Jan wins (1 Misstep); Chevy Equinox ($21,945)
Shopping Spree: Kathleen lost ($5200 to spend); Range, Dining Room Table, Clocks, and Cabinet
Showcase Showdown #1: Kathleen wins with 80 cents
Double Prices: Sharon wins; Computer and Desk ($4466)
Check Out: Nicholas lost (-$7.15); Trip to Maui, Hawaii
That’s Too Much: Ginger lost; Chevy Malibu ($22,870)
Showcase Showdown #2: Ginger wins with $2.00 ($11,000)
Showcase: Kathleen wins; “Suggestion Desk” Showcase, Barbecue Grill, Home Gym, and Buick LaSabre ($31,287 in prizes)
Ryan’s time in the Clock Game was about 15 ½ seconds, an amazing feat I must say. As Jan was leaving Contestant’s Row for the Pathfinder, much of the audience was a bit more settled this time. After Jan finished her winning path, she wanted to sing for Bob. Kathleen was close to becoming an owner of a quad of prizes courtesy of Price, yet the Clocks’ price total wasn’t enough to exceed $5200. Danny of Contestant’s Row made his return to Price four years later a married fellow, this time he made it into Contestant’s Row, with the young lady he met as a member of the audience back then. Once again, That’s Too Much had a player whose rehearsal would only lead to something like, “I would like to stop, Bob”, which was enough for our host to bring his microphone down. Both Nicholas and Ginger would score a $1.00 on the Big Wheel, leaving Sharon in a difficult situation. Today’s Showcases featured a suggestion desk, a Trip to Maui, Hawaii, and a Buick LaSabre. We end this week’s worth of shows with Kathleen’s hugs leading up to one “Rich” fellow loyal Price viewers know.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6212)
One Wrong Price: Donald wins; Dining Room Table, Exercise Machine, and Snow Cone Maker (Wrong Price $4020)
Plinko: Marie France wins $11,000 with 5 Plinko chips
One Away: Donald lost; Chevy Colorado ($23,412)
Showcase Showdown #1: Marie France wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Pushover: Bernice lost; Brass Bed ($4129)
Pass the Buck: Jeffrey wins $3000 (Card #4); Ford Focus
Danger Price: Erin wins; 23-inch TV Set, Dinnerware, Grandfather Clock ($2940), and Pair of Go-Karts
Showcase Showdown #2: Bernice wins with 95 cents
Showcase: Double Overbid; “Sounds” Showcase, Cellular Phone, Trip to London, and Trailer; Living Room Group, Year’s Supply of Flowers, and Snowmobile
Representing today’s first four contestants and the USA’s Air Force was the well-decorated Donald. Sandwiching the good news of Plinko being played, there were two different reactions from both Marie and the audience. “Do I have a car?” said the non-Service person Donald before learning that at least one number is wrong. I assure y’all that his gang in green is not a bunch of “former friends” as of today. After an audience standing ovation and an escape from Contestant’s Row, Berniece claimed to always wanting a Drum Set before today’s show. Unfortunately she want be adding a Brass Bed to her prize package, as it turned out to be far more expensive than anything close to $3000. Bride Erin became the proud owner of a quad of prizes without choosing the “Danger Price”, including a Pair of Go-Karts. Jeffrey was close to tying Bernice on the first spin of the Big Wheel, but would eventually go over. Today’s Showcases featured a ringing Cellular Phone, a Snowmobile, and a Year’s Supply of Flowers. We end today’s show without a Showcase winner, but with a good reflection by our players, Bob mingling with the audience, and our announcer Rich joining the parade of hand waving.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6211)
Barker’s Bargain Bar: Miralene lost; Elliptical Trainer (Bargain of $1500) and Sofa
Spelling Bee: Josephine wins $2500; Pontiac Vibe
Card Game: Derek wins ($3000 card) ; Ford Focus ($17,025)
Showcase Showdown #1: Derek wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Most Expensive: Zachary wins; Washer/Dryer, Motorscooter (Most Expensive), Recliner
Cover Up : Alrachel wins; Dodge Caravan ($19,674)
Now or Then: Michael wins (“Then” March 1997); Digital Piano
Showcase Showdown #2: Michael wins with 80 cents
Showcase: Derek wins; Popcorn Cart, Hot Tub, and Chrysler Crossfire ($63,975 in prizes)
After choosing a Sofa with a bargain $500 less, Miralene was still happy over the fact that her prize for escaping Contestant’s Row was a new TV set. Josephine promised to dream about Bob later on after this particular kiss on the Turntable, but first she’ll be playing for either a Pontiac automobile or a cash prize. Josephine listened to granddaughter Patricia’s choice of keeping all five $500 cards, causing outrage among audience members and viewers, especially with the outcome she could have taken. Folks, new margin cards now make up the Card Game’s blue deck, and Derek was the first to find the $3000 card. Yep, “aces are still wild”, $10,000 remains the minimum amount, but the $500 card is no more. A shout of “no!” was heard in the audience after Zachary chose the Motorscooter. Alrachel of Colorado managed to get 4 out of the 5 digits in Cover Up correct before she went after the last digit in the Dodge automobile’s price. Today’s Showcases spanned the Dining Room Group to an Australia holiday to the Chrysler Crossfire, and Derek’s bid turned out to be greater.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6210)
Temptation: Adam lost; Digital Camera, Freezer, DVD/VCR, Art Set, Ford Focus ($19,365)
Half Off: Brenda wins (2 Halves and Box #7 contained $10,000)

One Right Price: Connor wins; Table ($2695) and Couch
Showcase Showdown #2: Trisha wins with 85 cents
Showcase: Trisha wins; “Port O’ Price” Showcase, Riding Lawn Mower, Piano ($16,218 in prizes)
“The audience said it was zero” was Adam of San Bernardino’s reason for choosing the digit “0” as the Ford automobile’s last digit. Welcome home lucky number 7! Price loyalist and favorite among audience members George just had his dog neutered that day. After Bob announced this good news, most of the audience gave George a standing ovation. Trisha happens to be a grocery store checker, by the way, among the few in Price history to play the Grocery Game. Lucky number 7 may have returned, but Bob had no luck of not being attacked by contestants Brenda and Kristen today. Connor of Oshkosh, Wisconsin escapes as a new Barbecue Grill owner and shall return home to his fellow residents without worrying about the phrase “you blew it” being brought up. Before today’s Showcases, George and Trisha received their share of popular applause, along with their own hands clapping. Today’s Showcases featured The Price is Right Tugboat’s own Showcase, a Diamond Bracelet, and an odd sounding baby. “Two great bids” best describes today’s Showcase outcome, with Trisha’s difference in the hundreds being a little lower.

Showcase Showdown #2: Jason wins with $1.00 + 60 cents ($1000)
Showcase: Amy wins ; Dining Room Group, 47-inch TV Set, and Spa ($25,817 in prizes)
Neither the “very married” Jason, nor his wife in the audience will be sharing a particular seat in the Cadillac Convertible viewers witnessed today. The “flip” digits of today’s Flip Flop received plenty of near-flips as Bob was demonstrating to Gwendolyn (wearing a shirt showing appreciation for our announcer Rich) how to play the game. Out of interest of what could have been Amy’s fate, Bob was close to revealing the other two items on his own will before reconsidering. Once “inconsiderate” audience reaction filled Studio 33, Bob was able to reveal the items that would’ve cost Amy her $4000 prize. Make that $5000 in prize money after Amy’s spin of the Big Wheel. This particular Jason may want to consider this day a lucky one, after Bob acknowledged a mistake of his when calling out our contestant’s first price, thus making his playing of Cliffhangers a win by default. If all went well without error, the mountain climber would have stopped at the very top of the mountain at 25 steps. The one and only Kevin who focused more on the bearer of a necklace up for bids has won himself a new Gumball Machine to proudly display at home. The middle “0” made its place the outcome of Francis settling with a nice sum of $189. Both Kevin and Jason won $1000 in Showcase Showdown #2, followed by Bob’s second error of forgetting to set the Big Wheel to 5 cents. No harm by the wheel in motion was inflicted upon Bob’s hand stopping it, by the way. Today’s Showcases featured a Ford F-150, a Dining Room Group, and according to my ears (the ears of someone who works two daily weblog posts in the morning) a slumber party. Since it’s clear that Jason’s Showcase bid of $65,000 was way over, Amy decided to go the sensible route of bidding $1. Yep, this $1 bid saved this Showcase from becoming one of the occasional Double Showcase Overbids. Good day and good luck, Cliffhangers’ Jason!
(Note: Folks, today’s edition of the non-network TV news program “Extra” features Mr. Barker speaking about his recent case of skin cancer, which has been treated.)

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6206)
Range Game: Juanita wins; 42-inch Flat Screen TV and Entertainment Center ($10,496)
Grand Game: Susan wins $10,000 (Target Price $4.00)
Ten Chances: Silvano wins (4 Chances); Hair Stringer ($40), Riding Lawn Mower ($960), and Pontiac Grand Prix ($23,610)
Showcase Showdown #1: Susan wins with 80 cents
Most Expensive: Maluisa lost; Cabinet, Luggage, and Dining Room Table (Most Expensive)
Pathfinder: Krista wins (1 Misstep); Dodge Caravan ($19,674)
Bonkers: Frank lost; Trip to Washington, D.C. ($3275)
Showcase Showdown #2: Krista wins with 95 cents
Showcase: Krista wins; “The Price is Right Customs Office” Showcase, Trip to Scotland, Aruba, and Sailboat ($62,654 in prizes)
Juanita was a definite threat to Bob’s safety before and after especially after the Range Game, a game she knew very well as a home viewer. Before performing her own victory dance, our host gracefully walked behind the game alongside its rarely seen operator. During her celebration, Juanita lessened her unintentional threats by handing Bob a high five. Susan used her time wisely between accumulating $1000 and $10,000 in the Grand Game, so it’s likely that she’ll be spending her prize money wisely while enjoying it at the same time. Silvano escapes Contestant’s Row with a $1 bid shortly after Bob hoped someone would bid a dollar at this point. Silvano may not be Ten Chances winner of only 3 chances, but the four he used to win was quite a rare sight too. Maluisa shared her journey from the Philippines to the USA shortly after escaping Contestant’s Row. Representing today’s first Contestant’s Row lineup was Krista, who used both her sandals and mind (with the audience consulting) to walk the right numbers of Pathfinder. “It’s called Bonkers because it’s driven some contestants bonkers” was Bob’s description of Bonkers for loyal viewer Frank. Maluisa never left the Showcase Showdown a goodbye, which was another rare moment on Price. Today’s Showcases featured Travel Books, a Traveler, and a Boat taking Krista’s current prize total beyond $60,000.
(From the “Priceline” news wire service comes the news that Million Dollar Spectacular #15 won’t be scheduled to air this Friday as previously scheduled. Could it be the hour before this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards, perhaps?)

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6205)
Barker’s Bargain Bar: Vicki wins; Day Bed and Curio Cabinet (Bargain of $1000)
Punch A Bunch: Garrett wins $10,000 with 4 punches
Hole in One: Josh wins (Putts from Last Line); Ford Mustang (+$500)
Showcase Showdown #1: Josh wins with $1.00 ($1000)
One Wrong Price: Edmund lost; Trip to Dallas (Wrong Price $3945), Boston, and Santa Fe
Dice Game: Michelle wins; Ford Ranger ($15,645)
Safe Crackers: Maria lost (Combination 430); Kitchen Group and Food Processor
Showcase Showdown #2: Maria wins with 90 cents
Showcase: Josh wins; “Clean Acres” Showcase, Radio Vacuum, Golf Cart, and Travel Trailer ($46,732 in prizes)
Before Vicki made her path for the Bargain Bar, her fellow contestant Michelle of Contestant’s Row would realize her mistake of bidding $1 long after a bid above $1000 on a Dual Tricycle was made first. Garrett was actually booed after deciding that he wanted to keep the $1000 slip found in the first hole, but the power felt in the audience voices forced Garrett to move forward to the next hole containing what could have been one out of the ten $50 slips hidden. With an audience reminded that it’s Garrett who’s playing the game, we would discover in the second hole that our Punch A Bunch player is now $10,000 richer. Josh sounded like he’s never played a game of golf in life, but there’s no doubt about his knowledge of the items featured in Hole in One. Once again, Bob missing the hole during his inspiration putt didn’t effect a contestant’s putting, especially one fellow who made the putt at the final line. After the putt, Josh made his run to hug the Ford automobile, along with Bob’s person, and finally he made a now unforgettable victory dance. Dice Game happens to be a favorite of Michelle’s, as viewers can see her series of rolls starting with “1”. This particular Food Processor happens to be $90 more than Maria thought while attempting to crack the safe. Today’s Showcases featured Price’s version of “Green Acres”, A Projector & Screen, and a Travel Trailer. We end today’s show with Josh and his gang in purple in celebration after his excellent Showcase bid.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6204)
Freeze Frame: Brittany lost; Bed ($5534)
Lucky 7: Roman lost; Chrysler Pacifica ($26,23 )
Half Off: Leonardo lost (1 Half and Box #8); Box #2 contained $10,000
Showcase Showdown #1: Leonardo wins with 80 cents
Switch?: Tivoli lost by “Staying”; Desk and Sofa
Any Number: Ruby wins Dinnerware ($628); Ford Focus ($17, 540)
Hi Lo: Warner lost; Trip to Canada
Showcase Showdown #2: Ruby wins with 70 cents
Showcase: Ruby wins; “Millionaires” Showcase, Comedy Digital Video Disks & DVD Player, Professional Range, and Jeep Wrangler ($27,639 in prizes)
Out of all four bids on a Home Gym, Roman’s $6000 was the one that made Bob jokingly ask again what our first row of contestants were bidding on. Well folks, the audience managed to change another player’s mind, specifically the Brittany who shouted “$5534” more than once for confirmation. After Tina the Dog was introduced to an audience (including a potential) outside the SPCA, Roman wins his way on stage surprising certain viewers at home. Following Roman’s (wearing a “Hey Bob, you rock” shirt) moment of bowing to our host was a Chrysler automobile making its way on the stage, meaning Lucky 7 will be played today. Early in Half Off, it seemed that Leonardo didn’t quite understand the prices of these small items featured before finally choosing the proper item priced 50% off on the third try. Leonardo didn’t quite make it into Price’s record book under Roger’s watch at the producers’ corner, but he was still smiling even after admitting that Box #2 was his first choice in mind. There is a good chance our 92-year-old Ruby of the Price studio audience will escape Contestant’s Row later on, but first we must witness players like Tivoli on stage. If a member of the FCC (or any organization that has managed to effect television’s content with useless things like the “V-chip”, 3-hours of required “educational programming", and a blanket of fear over the broadcast networks) or an easily outraged viewer had mistaken Tivoli’s interesting name for something else according to the ears, I would have urged them to reframe and check her name tag. Yep, Ruby made it out of Contestant’s Row for the Turntable, where Any Number will be revealed shortly. At least it’s safe to say that Ruby won a prize in a Pricing Game at this point, thus ensuring more viewers that Price was not “skunked” today. Warner the last fellow of Contestant’s Row escaped at the last possible moment, yet he won’t be traveling to Canada anytime soon. Ruby didn’t need Bob’s help to spin the Big Wheel for 70 cents on the first try, causing a bit of celebration between Ruby and her young opponent Tivoli. As “The Price is Right Mall” Showcase began, odd noises made by members of the audience can heard before any person appeared on screen. Such noises can usually be heard when an eye-catching member of the opposite gender is in plain view in a packed house, but this possibly can be disputed in Price’s case. Today’s Showcases featured skis, millionaire “Mr. Grump”, and a Jeep Wrangler. We end today’s show with Ruby in front of her new Jeep as our announcer Rich joins the celebration.
