OMG! "Historic moment" on The Price is Right (SPOILER)

[UrbScotty]

One person overbid their showcase by about $2000. The other overbvid by just $1. She bid $12,000, but the actual price was $11,999.

Never had anyone overbid by just $1.

:wow:

[sniffa]

first time they've both overbid?

[UrbScotty]

13. No - that happens quite a bit.

It was the first time someone missed by $1.

[underpants]

1. Did anyone's shirt come off? Is Janet back?

:bounce:

[blueknight]

2. did bob try to

molest both losers?:woohoo:

[Lerkfish]

7. FWIW, I don't believe Bob molested anyone...

he had a one time tryst with one of the models after his wife died, he was unmarried, it was initiated by her, and it was sex between two consenting adults.

unless you're referring to some other incident I'm not aware of?

[The Backlash Cometh]

3. Yeah, well what does Michael Jackson have to say about it?

That's what I want to know.

[blondeatlast]

11. Tom Cruise is the new go-to guy. MJ is so last month,,, nt

[Cannikin]

4. How does this fit in to Scientology?

[meegbear]

5. How did the Runaway Bride react?

I bet she did the same as Tom Cruise did.

[GiovanniC]

14. She Was EXTREMELY Surprised

[Ikonoklast]

21. Look deep into my eyes.....

...you have no will of your own! I control your very thoughts! Vote Republican! Republican! Republican!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

[Scout1071]

29. OMG. I just did the very rare snort laugh when I saw that picture.

Both the snort laugh and the pic caught me by surprise!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. What about snowflake babies? How do they feel?

[underpants]

8. A question we should always ask

LOL

[LynneSin]

9. I once saw 2 people come within $100 of the bid

but the one guy was like $50 closer than the other.

That had to really suck ass!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

18. Oh I get it. People are supposed to guess the price of that crap.

A free drink to whoever knows the movie where that quote comes from.

[hickman1937]

25. Clerks? n/t

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. Nope

Good movie, but not correct.

Hint: Peter Falk

[Dukkha]

10. wow one dollar!

Has anyone ever bid the showcase exactly right?

It's funny when they both overbid. VEry anti-climatic ending to the show.

[kick-ass-bob]

12. I laughed my ass off!

Of course, she might be glad she didn't win that showcase! :puke:

[drencrom]

15. be careful

There's a whole set of rules for playing that game. One of which is, "never bid an even number during the Showcase Showdown". The showcases are always an oddball number, and you have a greater chance of being within $100 of your bid, thus winning *both* showcases :).

[Richard Steele]

16. The most heartbreaking Showcase Showdown I ever saw....

YEARS ago:
Contestant #1 was a real idiot;
had an amazing 60k showcase
and UNDERBID by 35 thousand...

Contestant #2 was OVER by less than $200 and lost.

[UrbScotty]

28. OMG!

:wow:

[dajoki]

17. don't forget to have your pets spayed or nuetered

:eyes:

[LynneSin]

19. and your bob barker too

:D

[mondo joe]

20. I thought this would be a pic thread of the woman whose top fell

down while she CAME ON DOWN.

[JVS]

22. Sweet!

[Strawman]

23. Did they play this?

[Left Is Write]

24. Ouch! That hurts.

Last week they had a double showcase winner, which doesn't happen very often.

[Merrick]

27. I love watching that show just for the knuckleheads who...

can't manage to grasp the most rudimentary logic to the bidding process. Everytime I watch it there's one or more dipshit who loses multiple opportunities to make it onstage because they bid, for instance, $700 when the other bids are, for example: $400, $500 and $800... then the actual price is $550.

[UrbScotty]

30. If I ever go on the show and "Come on down"

I'm just going to bid $1 every time. Either that, or some other oddball number between $1-100. After all, in almost every show, they have a case in which every one overbids.

[LastKnight]

31. goes to show...

RETAIL PRICES ARE NEVER EVEN NUMBERS! they almost always end in a 5 or a 9... i always yell that whenever i watch that show.
