I remember in another episode that featured this game, after the contestant initially pulled the lever, the buzzer sounded, but it didn’t display how many the contestant had right. The contestant proceeds to make changes before Bob stops them and says the number didn’t light up. The clock continued to run for about 1-2 seconds before they stopped it. The contestant ended up losing the game at first, but after the commercial break, Bob stated that the contestant didn’t get their full 45 seconds, since the clock didn’t stop immediately, when Bob asked how many were originally right, so they gave them all the prizes.

[@ThreePointOneFou]

I'm almost certain there was one time during the Barker era when a contestant pulled the arm down and a "3" popped up. Obviously this is impossible--if you have three right, the fourth has to be right too.

[@randolpho-]

@@ThreePointOneFou the display in the Race Game is a hardwired Neon Light. So only 0, 1, 2 and 4 are possible. I did see once or twice that two numbers overlapped each other and you couldn't tell how many the contestant had correct.

[@roachtoasties]

I 100% agree if it wasn't a 4 at the end Bob would have said she wins all the prizes. It's an unwritten rule if TPIR messes up during the game, the contestant wins. In this game, it definitely messes up with the contestant's train of thought when the wrong number showed. One of my favorite mess-ups was in the 10 Chances game. The board was loaded backwards, showing the actual price of all three items first, instead of the numbers to choose from. It was the easiest way ever to win a car. The contestant didn't have to do a thing.

[@chadd990]

I'm not well versed in The Price Is Right as I used to be, but bidding 549 after someone already bid 569 has got to be one of the dumbest things you can do. Or am I not understanding the tactic.

[@12369ja]

why is bidding 20 less dumb?

[@katielove9932]

You're not understanding the tactic!

[@chadd990]

@@12369ja because you want to bid the closest without going over, if you only bid 20 less, you're only giving yourself a 20/569 chance of choosing the correct number. As far as I understand it, the best tactic would be to have the absolute lowest bid ($1) or bid only $1 higher than the previous highest bid. This is why the person with $601 won the bid. But the person who bid $549, she may as well only bid $1, it wouldn't have changed a thing other than giving her more opportunity to win. If the actual price was $548, everyone would lose.

[@12369ja]

@@chadd990 bidding 20 less isn't doing IDIOT

[@BigEsWorldofauto]

WOW that is a crazy moment wow and also what's rare about this clip in my opinion was hearing Bob Barker say the word incorrect normally he would say this is wrong or this is not right but he said this is incorrect which in my opinion is rare because I've never heard Bob Barker say the word incorrect before but I've heard other game show host say the word incorrect like I heard Pat Sajak couple of times say incorrect, I've heard Alex Trebek say the word incorrect lots of times and I used to hear some of the old Nickelodeon game show host like Mike O'Malley (GUTS and Get the Picture) and Marc Summers (Double Dare & What Would You Do?) say the word incorrect many times but this is a rare moment in my opinion not just with the glitch on the race game scoreboard but when Bob Barker says the word incorrect wow freaking wow that is RARE RARE RARE.

[@ShOoTeR7386]

Why guys..... The NFL😂

[@ronnymatthews4133]

When the race game is wrong !It should be stopped and she wins all the prizes!!??YES???

[@brch2]

Why? The mistake did not prevent the game from being played, and it gave her an advantage that very few other contestants get. The only time they tend to give the prizes out like that is when the game play was so messed up there is no other reasonable solution (such as the mistake was caught after the game ended, or the mistake was as such that the game can't be reasonably completed... i.e., premature price reveals). Realistically, they could have put the price guesses back and reset the clock so the game was in the same state as the moment she first pulled the lever. Rather than do that, they allowed her to restart the game with knowledge in her favor. TPiR has generally been more than fair with solutions to mistakes.

[@hockeypnc3]

This wasn’t that big of an error

[@jeepthing98]

Im sure if she didnt have all 4 by the end bob would have made one of his executive decisions and given her the prizes.

[@JamesWilliams-fm1jl]

Well, since Bob reset the clock back to 45 seconds, it basically restarted the game. But she did have the advantage of knowing 2 were right so it made it somewhat easier for her to nail all 4. But even if not, knowing Barkers nature, I'm sure he would have proclaimed she won all 4.

[@donaldpaluga]

I think it would have been an S&P decision

[@gr8daynegb]

This very likely would have been a technical win. She was very confused about everything you could tell when Bob restarted the game. Being she already made switches and take into account if on stage you mentally on a cocaine type high they'd literally would have needed to do so to make things right.

[@JamesWilliams-fm1jl]

@@gr8daynegb Yes, that's true. The Department of Standards and Practices are very strict when it comes to game show errors or cheating. But even so, Barker would have given her all 4. She already won the second the game messed up.

[@roachtoasties]

I agree. Even though she had more time, it messes with one's train of thought. Bob would have let her win all the prizes anyway.

[@brch2]

He generally only awarded the prizes when the glitch makes it impossible to complete the game fairly (premature price reveals and things of that nature). In this case, it was more than fair giving her the full clock reset, after giving her the knowledge that she already had two correct prices. Their mistake gave her an advantage of extra time.

I think The Race Game has the most errors than any other game. I believe this game has multiple people operating it...the game monitor is watching the prices then signaling the person entering the number in the counter and the sound effects "person" is either doing the buzzer or the "ding-ding-ding..." There have been bloopers with every game, but this one more than any other. I know Bob would sometimes get off track on The Clock Game, but that was usually due to contestants going in every direction and not paying attention to his "higher" and "lower" statements.😂 I love game failures and bloopers...they are the best moments!!💲
