Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6221)
(Original Air Date 5-25-2005)
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)
(Original Air Date 5-24-2005)
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)
Side By Side: Mary lost (Left Side); Floor Clock ($4555)
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 (#6138)
(Orginal Air Date 1-13-2005)
Money Game: Candice wins; Ford Focus ($16,435)
Plinko: Kijana wins $12,100 with 5 Plinko chips
Barker’s Markers: Lisa lost; Day Bed, Popcorn Machine, and Karioke
Showcase Showdown #1: Kijana wins with 90 cents
Pick A Pair: Marlane wins with Peanut Butter and Cleaner ($2.99); Living Room Group and Globe
Cover Up: Craig lost; Ford Ranger ($15,941)
Double Prices: Stephen wins; 65-inch TV Set ($3299)
Showcase Showdown #2: Craig wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Showcase: Kijana wins; Kitchen Group, Dining Room Group, and Snowmobile ($30,184 in prizes)
Our first prize to come on down before our Contestant’s Row was a trip to San Francisco, including a certain number of days/nights repeated for Marlane. Candice claimed to have no knowledge of the Money Game, but forgot to mention that she contains the knowledge of Ford automobile prices from the first to last two digits. Lengthy audience interaction (Bob wanted a book at this point) confirmed Candice’s choice in digits. Kijana may have a total of 5 Plinko chips, yet Bob would mistakenly say they can total up to $40,000 before acknowledging his error as the first chip reached its destination (not the $10,000 slot). All it took was good luck and Bob’s “direction” for Kijana to earn herself over $10,000 in prizes. Even though her Plinko run ended in the $100 slot, $12,100 was enough for a shout of “Thank you, Jesus!” No member of the audience, even the fellow saying, “put it back” (a price marker) could save Lisa from an avoidable fate in Barker’s Markers. Kijana’s score of 90 cents kept Candice away from winning a spot in today’s Showcase in only one spin by one nickel. Representing somewhere near Buffalo, New York, Marlene plays Pick A Pair for some new furniture without her husband in sight, so she’s alright. Craig of Lincoln, California escapes Contestant’s Row at last for a playing of Cover Up that seemed easy as baking a cake, yet everything would “fall” the moment Craig believed the fourth digit was a “9” too. After a lengthy moment of thought, Myloh came up with a Luggage bid that wasn’t accepted by plenty of audience members, thus giving Stephen of Bakersfield (not yet Barkersfield) the last minute escape. Craig (now $1000 richer) earned the chance to bid on a Showcase featuring various hairstyles and a trip to Sydney, Australia. We end today’s show with Kijana surrounded by “Two Rooms” in the middle of the snow.

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6137)
(Original Air Date 1-12-2005)
Step Up: Dionthe wins Desk and Treadmill (+$500); Sofa and Cookware
One Away: Keisha wins; Pontiac Sunfire ($17,681)
Cliffhangers: Garrett lost; Pontiac Vibe
Showcase Showdown #1: Keisha wins with 85 cents
One Wrong Price: Christine wins; Digital Piano, Lighting Group (Wrong Price $2290), and Dining Room Table
Pass the Buck: Rebecca “Loses Everything”; Chevy Aveo (Behind #6)
Freeze Frame: Toni lost; Barrel Sauna ($5245)
Showcase Showdown #2: Christine wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Showcase: Keisha wins “Traffic” Showcase, Cellular Phone, Laptop, Chrysler 300M, Chrysler Sebring; Floor Clock, Bedroom Group, and Trip to Hong Kong ($91,530 in prizes)
Dionthe also used the “time out” sign, as Bob demonstrated for us, to end her Step Up run at the best possible time. Keisha wearing a jacket and a shirt with the words “I’m Your Next Contestant”, successfully finished One Away without a single mistake, a journey which ended in a victory run off in the sunset (or in Price’s case, the Turntable). This is certainly a rarity, Bob never stopped his reveal of who in Contestant’s Row bid exactly right and that would Arizona’s Garrett now $500 richer. Unfortunately for the retail major, $10 on the mixer featured in Cliffhangers resulted in a walk for our mountain climber which doesn’t even compare to the old “Long Walk for a Glass of Water” analogy. Yep, Keisha performed her act her victory yet again after surpassing all in Showcase Showdown #1. After giving Bob a stuffed Colorado Ram in appreciation, we would discover that Christine is likely to be a news reporter someday and her next article (for the Colorado-based newspaper; one copy will be sent to Bob) will be focused on her Price experienced. Like Garrett, Rebecca had an unlucky time on stage after choosing both “Lose Everything” panels on the Pass the Buck board with only two chances. Looks like Bob a good feeling about Rebecca’s fate shortly after she missed the chance needed to avoid leaving Pass the Buck empty handed. Sorry folks, Richard of Contestant’s Row who had plenty of rowdy supporters in the audience (all whom Bob dubbed “The National Association for Educating Young People” as a perfect name for Richard’s group) never escaped at the very end. Our final contestant on stage was not an Antonio, not a Tony, but the female version of both names Toni. Yep, names are indeed fascinating! Christine adds a win of $1000 on the Big Wheel to her college newspaper article. All seemed lost once Christine’s Showcase bid turned out to be over, but Keisha’s excellent bid with a difference of $250 saved both Showcases. We end a show worth a place in your personal Price VHS archives with Keisha and a member of her crew in one of 3 new cars.

Today’s Airing of The Price is Right (#6136)
(Original Air Date 1-11-2005)
Clock Game: Caitlin wins (2 seconds left); Sofa ($523) and Wine Cellar ($999) (+$1000)
Grand Game: Gracie lost $1000 ($5.50)
Card Game: Kenneth lost (on $1000 card); Ford Focus ($18,165)
Showcase Showdown #1: Caitlin wins with 80 cents
Coming or Going: Jeremiah lost by “Going”; Iron Bed ($4192)
Shell Game: Erik wins (All 4 Shells, Ball under Shell #2); Trip to Washington, District of Columbia and Digital Camera (+$500 bonus)
That’s Too Much: Twawn lost; Chevy Malibu ($22,780)
Showcase Showdown #2: Twawn wins with 80 cents
Showcase: Caitlin wins; “Dr. Quincy Quack” Showcase, Washer/Dryer, Stereo System, and Dodge Neon ($29,227 in prizes)
“We want Caitlin!” says Bob as she made her escape from Contestant’s Row for the legendary Clock Game, which all required a calm mind (resulted in winning Sofa in 15 ½ seconds) and the reminder that no prize featured is worth more than $1000 on hand. Gracie representing Detroit in a Price sweater and cap briefly held Bob’s duty of holding the long microphone and revealing most items prices before the audience forced her to choose an item rather than “CLR”, which was the sole item priced $5.50 not chosen. Gracie managed to come back from this outcome after Bob told her “you forgot your microphone”, followed by thanking him for making her time on stage memorable. Kenneth found one of 4 “beautiful” cards in the Card Game deck, but unfortunately his decision to stop after bidding $15,000 wasn’t a very wise one, even though he checked twice or more at the large Focus. Nope, Gracie never held Bob’s microphone as she spun the Big Wheel, we can’t risk with something physical rather than internal (or shortage, which ended the life of Bob’s previous microphone). Jeremiah of Minnesota chose “Going”, or $2914 to be exact, and so far it appears he’s going back without a piece of bedroom furniture. The trip to Washington, D.C. was planned well in advance before Erik representing the Marines in civilian (non-Service, non-law enforcement, and contestants on “The $25,000” Pyramid” and its other versions) clothing arrived at 7800 Beverly Blvd. Twawn finally escapes Contestant’s Row to prove himself worthy of the Marine drill sergeants in the audience, followed by some hesitation on whether to go higher before turning to Bob and saying “stop”, making our host put his microphone down in disbelief. Yep, Jeremiah (or Jeremy) will be returning to his schooling in Minnesota with only his prize won before leaving Contestant’s Row and plenty of cherished memories. Today’s Showcases spanned from a poster of Steve McQueen printed on a DVD and a country doctor whose surname says it all. We end today’s show with Caitlin and two of her crewmembers running toward the Dodge truck.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6169)
(Original Air Date 2-25-2005)
Plinko: Mary wins $2600 with 5 Plinko chips
Credit Card: Kevin lost ($1700 credit limit); Bongo Set, Dining Room Table, Cookware, Clock, and Bookcase
Money Game: Sherri wins; Ford Focus ($17,025)
Showcase Showdown #1: Sherri wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Barker’s Bargain Bar: Shelton wins; Chair (Bargain of $700) and Dinnerware
Any Number: Christi wins; Pontiac G6 ($21,705)
Hit Me: Zovinar wins (Hits 21); Trip to Canada
Showcase Showdown #2: Shelton wins with 95 cents
Showcase: Sherri wins; MP3 Player, Trip to Rome, and Ford Freestar (with “Shuttle to T.P.I.R” sign) ($54,176 in prizes)
A week of excellence is coming to a close, starting with Mary sporting a red leather jacket making the escape from Contestant’s Row with a $1999 Exercise Bicycle in her future, along with thousands in cash. The $500 flashing along with the $1000 spot containing Mary’s Plinko chip doesn’t count. Pennsylvania State student and future electrical engineer Kevin who admitted to never exceeding his credit card limit has experienced a case of “there’s a first time for everything” on today’s show, oh well at least he knows the feeling of someone in a real life situation. Sherri of Missouri became the proud owner of a Focus with a little help from the audience, including a fellow named Ralph with a shirt featuring a photo of a young Bob Barker from Price’s early years on front, and a photo of a late 1990s Bob on the back. Before our Sherri spun the Big Wheel for a chance at winning $10,000, she said “okay” in a gruff tone of voice after Bob explained the situation. Before Shelton would win his way on stage, Bob declared the day being the best one in his life after a quad of young ladies referred to him as a “homeboy”, which means “you’re tight, man”, as Bob phrased it. After choosing the digits 1, 7, and 5 in a row, Christi managed to figure out her Any Number situation at the end. Since “0” can’t possibly be the first number in the Microwave or even the money in the Piggy Bank, its to safe it belongs in the car price’s fourth digit spot. Representing a large group of Armenians from somewhere in California was Zovinar, who was in great need of assistance from members of the audience who have played a good game of cards at least once in life. It seems that Shelton knew he was going to win his way into today’s Showcase, explaining why he was attempting to sliver away from Bob’s side so soon during Showcase Showdown #2. Sherri ends this week’s worth of shows with more that any Price contestant can imagine winning. Good weekend and good luck!

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6168)
(Original Air Date 2-24-2005)
Pocket Change: Paul lost with $1.10 (Cost of Car $1.25); Pontiac Sunfire ($17,250)
Cliffhangers: William lost; Ford Escape
Most Expensive: Michael lost; Cotton Candy Machine, Armoire, and Dining Room Table (Most Expensive)
Showcase Showdown #1: Paul wins with 90 cents
1 Right Price: Eric wins; Stemware and Sofa ($2265)
Pass the Buck: Laura wins; (Car Behind Card #4) Ford Ranger
Pick A Number: Julie lost (Picked Second “9”); Bed ($2696)
Showcase Showdown #2: Eric wins with 90 cents
Showcase: Eric wins; “Double Showcase Winner”, “Stripes” Showcase, Trip to San Francisco, African Photo Safari, and Boat; “The Price is Right Department Store” Showcase, Kitchen Appliances, Jukebox, and Snowmobile ($59,236 in prizes)
After our first four contestants of diverse heights entered Contestant’s Row, Bob wearing an almost invisible neck tie matching the shirt made his own entrance through waves of high fives from lucky members of the audience on the edge of the aisle. Representing Pennsylvania State on & off stage was Paul, who despite pricing the second digit in the Pontiac’s price incorrect and picking up what would be his sole “constant reminder” to not pick up just the slip inside an envelope, was quite a fun contestant for viewers and Bob. William’s cries for the mountain climber to “stop, stop…” unfortunately never had an impact on the game or his outcome. The year “1977” was the price of the Dining Room Table, which Michael never chose aside from the Armoire in Most Expensive. Paul surpassed both his fellow contestants in cents during Showcase Showdown #1. Before the price matching $2265 was revealed in 1 Right Price, most loyal viewers were expecting the camera to zoom in on the price reveal, only it never happened today. Representing a “well adjusted” and loyal California family reuniting under the same roof, as their favorite show was Julie Eskobar of Contestant’s Row, who happens to bare the last name of Gonzales. She would make the walk to Pick A Number under the sounds of applause and shortly after some whistling that’s likely not meant to be a form of applause. Unfortunately this was not a lucky day for the Eskobar family all in yellow shirts (from the great grandmother to the youngest), or so it appears to be all. Paul’s hesitation and reliance on the audience led to the realization that his Showcase’s actual price including the boat was far greater than his bid. As for Eric, bidding $16,000 even was his advantage for a Double Showcase win and that’s what he got the moment Bob read the last 3 digits in the Showcase’s actual price.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6167)
(Original Air Date 2-23-2005)
Step Up: Patti wins; Carpet Steamer, Electric Guitar, Silverware, and Grandfather Clock (+ $3000)
Let ‘Em Roll: Jillian wins $1500 with 3 Rolls; Ford Focus
Safe Crackers: Michelle wins (Combination $670); Trip to Chicago and Snow Blower
Showcase Showdown #1: Jillian wins with $1.00 ($1000)
Squeeze Play: Brianne wins (removed “8”); Boat ($6253)
Dice Game: Catherine wins; Chevy Aveo ($15,214)
Secret X: Ryan wins (X at Top Square); Dining Room Group
Showcase Showdown #2: Ryan wins with 70 cents
Showcase: Ryan wins; Bedroom Group, TV Set, and Trip to Japan ($22,018 in prizes)
One day after Mobile, Alabama resident David Jones made it to Contestant’s Row and on stage, Patti made the run for Step Up and Bob without inflicting any physical before or after a kiss on the right cheek. “How?” asked Patti in a jokingly fashion during Bob’s 9-second description (according to his watch) of the game. Hand and arm gestures such as playing of an air guitar was among Patti’s numerous ways of interacting with an audience including those who would chant a-plenty today. Bob had a good feeling Jillian was going after prize money in Let ‘Em Roll more than a Ford automobile. It appears clear as a well-lit crystal that Jillian was fairly new to Let ‘Em Roll, for example the common attempt at rolling a single cube by hand. Michelle (pronounced Mee-SHELL) of San Jose (pronounced Ho-ZAY) won’t be returning home with a Snow Blower, but a new Boat as part of a deal with Squeeze Play player Brianne, who’s from Colorado. Jillian danced her way over to the Big Wheel before scoring $1.00 and did an encore performance on her way over to the scoreboard. Representing the USA’s Navy, Lieutenant Catherine bearing the English spelling of the name “Katherine” was more focused on the “6” and “1” sides of the dices rather than rolling the right digits in her new Chevy’s price. I assure y’all that those weak rolls of the first dice and stealing Ryan’s (University of California Los Angeles) spot in Contestant’s Row did not demote our lady lieutenant. Before leaving the stage until Showcase Showdown #2, Catherine gave mention to another member of the Service, her husband serving far, far, away. Luck and miracles were on Ryan’s side during his playing of Price’s version of tic-tac-toe, consisting of placing his free X (or plus sign) on the middle row’s right-hand side, the middle itself, and finally the top row that would determine his fate. In the end, Ryan turned out to be one of numerous contestants who may not be loyal to the show, but can certainly learn quickly (with a little luck on the side). Even during Price’s first 10 years on Old Columbia (referring to CBS) contestants had to learn too.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6166)
(Original Air Date 2-22-2005)

“Kristine Bla…oh there she is!” chuckled Rich as one of today’s first four contestants finally escapes her audience seat for a spot in Contestant’s Row. After winning a Pool Table on his day of birth, 59-year-old Marlin performed short dances near the edge of the stage as the three automobiles were revealed from behind all 3 big doors. Marlin may have been an excellent player in this Triple Play appearance and the first winner in quite a while, but that so-called amusing question for Bob on whether it’s possible to just leave with just two cars and a model was amazingly shocking. After raising his microphone back up, Bob responded with the simple answer of “no”. Representing the great state of Alabama and successfully accumulating $1000 briefly while managing to tease the audience (despite being short of $10,000), was David showing ‘Bama pride with his a blue “Bama” shirt (also on the backs and fronts of his crew). Marlin’s birthday celebration on stage ended with a Big Wheel spin dedicated to the life of an April who left this world only two days before today’s show was taped. Miguel joins Contestant’s Row in his mountain man gear for the remaining portion of the program before Showcase Showdown #2. Another choir was discovered in our audience and they were given the opportunity to perform in Contestant’s Row. According to Bruce’s shirt, “Canadians Love Bob”. Bruce had an unpleasant feeling he didn’t have at least 4 numbers right as he worriedly asked those ladies for conformation. A prize of $1000 may not compare to at least one of the “Switch?” prizes in value, but this was only the beginning in Amanda’s winning streak. Ronda’s Showcase had an art gallery, a Spa, and a Trailer before the picture of the famous Price dollar sign was revealed.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6165)
(Original Air Date 2-21-2005)
Swap Meet: Corina lost (Swap Price: $500 for Year’s Supply of Cheesecakes); Freezer ($500), Floor Clock, and Chair
Hole in One (or Two): Chante lost (Line 3); Ford Taurus
Bonkers: Larry lost; Trip to Acapulco, Mexico (Price Unknown)
Showcase Showdown #1: Chante wins with 90 cents
Joker: Kenneth wins (Joker Behind Card #5); Bedroom Group
Cover Up: Lajuana lost; Ford Focus ($19,215)
Double Prices: Laura wins; Hot Tub ($6495)
Showcase Showdown #2: Kenneth wins with 80 cents
Showcase: Kenneth wins; “What If” Showcase, Cotton Towels, Gentleman’s Chest, and Buick ($35,680 in prizes)
Along with a unique game/book cabinet consisting of checkers, chess, and backgammon could have been a year’s supply of cheesecake for Corina, who unfortunately believed a $1000+ Floor Clock equaled in price. We are reminded once more that Bob hates Hole in One whenever his inspiration putt doesn’t live up to the game’s name, and I don’t blame him for that remark considering the outcome Chante would soon endure. Greyhound couple Shawnee and Bubba searched the audience for a true master after years of racing with bets placed on their heads. I wonder if Velma of Contestant’s Row was thinking about bidding $1080 before Larry won his way on stage, since she bid $10,000 before Bob managed to sway her bid all the way down to $800. Larry would be among the losing Bonkers players who relied on an audience of over 300 attendees for advice in only half a minute. Lajuana of Missouri’s only frog may be the one featured on her green shirt, but she demonstrated a frog’s characteristic (“Hop on Down”, says her shirt) while on her way to Contestant’s Row. Representing those taller than Bob was Kenneth, or Ken as he prefers to called, who’s choice of odd numbers by only 3 times lead to the reveal of the Joker (“Come on, Joker!” shouted a member of the audience) behind lucky #5. Lajuana never hopped out of Contestant’s Row, in case you were wondering before her “fascinating” Missouri conversation with Bob. Expect Laura’s aching hips to be in better condition than ever after soaking herself in a new Hot Tub courtesy of Price. Showcase #1 featured only one USA president on this Presidents' Day and that would be Thomas Jefferson alongside his closet (with one sock hanging). We end today’s show with Kenneth surrounded by his large crew wearing the same shirts as Bob and Rich managed to congratulate them. Good day and good week!

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6164)
(Original Air Date 2-18-2005)
Lucky 7: Brian lost; Chevy Impala ($23,442)
Punch A Bunch: Ricardo wins $50 with 2 punches
Double Prices: Michelle lost; Trip to Washington, District of Columbia ($4466)
Showcase Showdown #1: Brian wins with 75 cents
Now or Then: Arnetta lost (“Then” September 1996); Bedroom Group
Barker’s Markers: Dorothy lost; Secretary Desk, Popcorn Machine, and Dining Room Table
Money Game: Ellen wins; Jeep Wrangler ($18,765)
Showcase Showdown #2: Dorothy wins with 90 cents
Showcase: Brian wins; “Marriage Counselor” Showcase, Language Tapes, Trip to Hawaii, and High-Low Trailer ($26,158 in prizes)
After Bob’s impression of a seemly clueless member of Contestant’s Row, we all got to meet Brian, along with his 80-year-old Granny Pat in the most unusual way. After Brian’s mention of his grandma, much of the audience was up in chants of “Granny Pat!” who would be asked by our host about her plans for tonight now that she’s the big 8-0. The year “1998” was the actual price to determine that Michelle of the B-O-B gang (she was the first “B”) has won her way on stage. Unfortunately, her nice gesture for the “O” and “B” members of her crew to take the trip to Washington instead of her will never happen (ironically, Michelle’s choice opposite of $4466 was according to them). Here’s a shocking revelation: Brian admitting to only seeing the show “a few times” was enough for some “awws” and “boos” from members of the audience. Dorothy representing a crew mostly in white shirts didn’t stay long with her choice of moving the Dining Room Table marker in order to conquer the game. Ellen became today’s heroine the moment the wheel of the Jeep behind “65” was revealed. Brian continued to surprise some loyal members up to the moment he took over Bob’s duty of saying his daily “have your pets spade or neutered” message.

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6163)
(Original Air Date 2-17-2005)
Eazy Az 1, 2, 3: Michael wins; Dinnerware, Pair of Golf Clubs, and Day Bed
Plinko: Ora wins $2500 with 3 Plinko chips
Dice Game: Vaughn wins; Pontiac G6 ($22,646)
Showcase Showdown #1: Vaughn wins with 75 cents
Coming or Going: Dana wins by “Going”: Spa ($8995)
Line ‘Em Up: Marjorie lost; Dining Room Table, Blender, Jewelry Armoire, and Chevy Aveo ($15,429)
Pick A Pair: Cheryl wins (Jelly Belly Candy and Airborne Supplement $6.99); Trip to Switzerland
Showcase Showdown #2: Marjorie wins with 90 cents
Showcase: Vaughn wins; “Little Known Albums” Showcase, Home Gym, Floor Clock, Chrysler Sebring ($53,417 in prizes)
Ora of Contestant’s Row assumed her fellow contestants went over the Motorcycle’s actual price, so she thought a $1 bid was the best thing to do. Despite Michael wanting to take one block at a time, Bob managed to place all 3 blocks from hands to chin, gaining approval through the audience and Michael’s laughter. One bidding process later, Ora showed us according to her winning shouts that Plinko is indeed an enjoyable game, even though she won only 2 more chips along with the items representing them. During the Dice Game, a well-decorated Vaughn of the USA Navy used his bowling swing when rolling the last dice (the third “2” rolled). Like her crew in orange, Dana knew she was “Going”. Marjorie was 1 right decision away from owning a quad of prizes, but never realized that the middle number cannot be another “9”. Expensive Jelly Belly Candy never tripped Cheryl’s chances of a Swiss holiday, as there was a cold supplement “developed by a teacher tired of catching colds” close by. A little help from Bob would lead to Marjorie’s unbeatable score of 90 cents. Today’s winning Showcase featured pot-bellied “Beatles”, a cover for “40 Ticks”, and a convertible under the name "Sebring".

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6162)
(Original Air Date 2-16-2005)
Bonus Game: Priscilla lost (Bonus in Square 2); Ford Focus
Card Game: Ronda lost ($500 card); Ford Escape ($19,995)
Make Your Move: Nicholas lost; Massager ($40), Snowmobile, ($8414), and Flatware ($843)
Showcase Showdown #1: Priscilla wins with 55 cents
Range Game: Elaine lost; Trip to St. Thomas ($6698)
Let ‘Em Roll: Mattie wins $1000 with 2 Rolls; Pontiac Vibe
Switch?: Ronald wins with a “Switch”; Motorcycle and Crib
Showcase Showdown #2: Elaine wins with 95 cents
Showcase: Priscilla wins; Dining Room Group, Jukebox, and Spa ($31,175 in prizes)
The question “When will you bid?” was brought to the attention of Gabriella representing today’s first four contestants. Our first Texan, Houston’s Priscilla turned to out be a Federal Express delivery (literally, according to the front & back of her shirt). Priscilla unfortunately discovered her Bonus Game outcome too soon the moment Bob assumed her first mistake would cost her the Focus. A proud Texan named Ronda would have been a proud Escape owner if only she had a card of $2000 to be within. We would find out that Nicholas now wearing Philadelphia Eagles fan attire is a resident of the state of New York. The same Elaine who beat future Let ‘Em Roll player Mattie during the last bidding process stopped the range a few hundred dollars too soon. A $2 bid on a $1000-$1500 necklace was 80-year-old Mattie's ticket out of Contestant’s Row before Bob steered her eyes toward more orange (color of the Pontiac) than most would ever see in one day. Speaking of Mattie, at first she chose to spin the Big Wheel herself, unfortunately her strength didn’t give contestants around her age a break this go round. Elaine’s Showcase featured video telephones made the TV set and chances for a balloon ride. Even under a dark cloud, Price made it through under unfortunate conditions today with Bob acknowledging model Brandi’s day of birth (back in January). The old saying, “keeping the faith” is alive and well!

Today's Airing of The Price is Right (#6161)
(Original Air Date 2-15-2005)
Cover Up: Arye lost; Ford Focus ($16,215)
Clock Game: Celestine lost; Dining Room Table ($581) and Spa
Poker Game: Scott wins (Full House); Luggage, Sofa, Desk, and Espresso Machine
Showcase Showdown #1: Arye wins with 65 cents
Bullseye: Lori wins (Hits with $10.05); Kitchen Appliances
That’s Too Much: Nicholas lost; Chevy Malibu ($22,870)
Flip Flop: Narva lost by “flopping”; Electric Vehicle ($7695)
Showcase Showdown #2: Nicholas wins with 95 cents
Showcase: Nicholas wins; Bedroom Group, House Cleaning Service, and Trip to Singapore ($20,501 in prizes)
Our journey together again begins with a Contestant’s Row line up consisting of one excitable Arye representing a group of students from the state of New York. After leaving Contestant’s Row a second before Bob finished reading the Pool Table’s actual price, making a unique run for the Turntable, and hugging Bob shortly after Rich’s “It’s a new car!” Arye’s losing outcome was enough for him to drop face first on the carpet. So far an interesting show as Celestine managed to shout out prices for about 15 seconds while assuming Bob was telling her to go “higher”. After the buzzer signaling her lost, Celestine realized that Bob (early coffee break coming up) was saying “lower” during the entire ordeal. Scott relied upon the Poker and/or Poker Game experts making up the audience and passed his previous hand to the House. “I’m good!” said Arye as he made the wise choice of staying on 65 cents, as Scott’s spins would add up to a score slightly more than Celestine’s. Former “Truth or Consequences” contestant Lori from about 30 years ago (Bob manage to host both Price and Consequences for a short period) had Bob thinking long before she made her escape from Contestant’s Row. At last, Nicholas who’s been attending the show for the week not only reached Contestant’s Row, but managed to win his way on stage for both a Pricing Game and for Bob’s signature on one of 2 home made shirts (second one made specially for Bob). The same Narva who bounced continuously in Contestant’s Row would continue this daring feat on stage at the last possible moment. Arye’s Showcase had an Old West flavor to it, from the Bar Set to the Dodge Ram (not an animal). We end today’s show with Nicholas alongside Miss Kitty of Arye’s Showcase before his crew could join in on the celebration.
