    It's like the GARM for The Price Is Right.

    Seriously, that's just creepy. And here I thought my 18K posts signified having no life.....

    Those people even remember certain games from the 80's and 90s and the names of the contestants that played them. I've now found a new level of creepiness.

    Doesn't less than $1,000 under get you both showcases? I've only seen one double showcase winner before. This had to be rigged. People rarely get within $500, and for 2 people to do that, and one get it right on the money with such an odd number. Maybe they are trying to generate interest in the show.

    it could be 500 dollars for some reason i thought it was 100 or 50 dollars. i remember seeing that happen once when i was a kid that a woman won both showcases.


    yeah rigged, waiting an hour and all or not drew carey could have easily handled that better.

    gus johnson would have still been screaming over it to this day

    its no way you can google those prices, price is right prices are usually higher than most retail spots, but its not like prices are universal everywhere

    What post am I looking for, I don't feel like reading each post.

    I did hear on the radio, only vaguely, something about an audience member who is a fanatic who goes lots of tapings and has memorized lots of the prices. But if they aren't connected and he just listened to that guy, how is it cheating when everybody else gets to shout out prices and stuff?

    I expect Carey to quit within a few months of this. Looks like he knows something is up, and just can't say anything.

    Plus, dude is like Gene Wilder in Stir Crazy after getting sentenced when he wins " Wha!!!! Wha!!!!"

    the whole thing is surreal.
