Come On Down!

I love The Price is Right.
You will never see a person more happy than when they have been called to go on down.
The pure joy in these contestant's faces is incomparable.

Drew Carey is the man.
Drew subtlety makes fun of every contestant on the show, and nobody ever notices.

The thing i love about this show is that it is so geared towards the elderly but 57% of the contestants are college students.
All the prizes on the show are for senior citizens.
Unless the contestant is actually a senior, in which case they always get the one prize that is for the college student.

Seeing the mixed emotions of the contestants faces is so, well, priceless.
They start off surprised, then excited, then it turns to worried as they are afraid of falling down the aisle as they run to the front. Once the finally get to the booth the be calm down a little and try to be serious. If they win the bid, it goes right back up to excitement, that is until they see the prizes. Once the prize is revealed, there are two expressions they could have. 1) they will be extremely happy with "The brand new car!" or 2) they will be disappointed that it's not the car, but still try to keep a smile on because they are on TV. They then proceed to be extremely confused as Drew explains the game. They become even more confused as the audience screams what they think to be the real price of the Goldbond Foot Powder.

It seems like the easiest games to play are the hardest to win.

Time Out, commercial.
The HoverRound commercial plays at least 6 times during the hour showtime of The Price is Right.
The owner and spokesperson of the HoverRound is Tom Kruse. This makes me laugh. That guys life must have been terrible growing up.
"Hi, I'm Tom Kruse."
"No, really dude, what's your name?"
I've never seen someone happier to be in a wheelchair.
"Where will you go?"
Apparently the Grand Canyon, a field, Scotland, and a waterfall.
Maybe i should get a wheel chair. I wonder if i qualify for Medicare Part D. I could get a HoverRound for little or no cost to me!

When people bid like 1500, then the next person bids "1501, Drew!" I really don't like that. Those people are jerks. If that every happened to me, i would be quite angry. I'm always surprised that whenever that happens that the person that they did it to doesn't do anything.

The Wheel is one of my favorite parts of the show. It gives people a chance to make up for the terrible loss earlier in the game.
Today's Wheel was ridiculous. The first contestant spun an 85. Solid spin. He outlasted all the other contestants, until it came to the last one, who also spun an 85. Tie breaker spin-off. Contestant 1 spins a 100, giving him $1,000 bonus prize. Contestant 2 then also spins 100 and also gets the $1,000 bonus. Contestant 1 is getting a little annoyed that he can't eat this guy, even with a 100. The spin again and tie, yet again. A third tie breaker is commissioned and finally a winner is declared. Contestant 2 moves on to the show case.

Wilfred Brimley is still doing diabetes commercials. This amazes me.
"I have Diabeetus."

At the showcase, i think that it's always a good idea to pass the first showcase to the next contestant. The second showcase is always better.
The winner from the showcase bids on his showcase and is so close to the actual retail price that he actually wins both showcases. Both of them. He has to be one the biggest winners on the show in a longtime.

I love this show.
