Blooper! Switcheroo Game Malfunctions on The Price Is Right - The Price Is Right 1985

Is it me or did people just seem more real, more kind-hearted back then?

Many more people were Christians back then. We could still get our society back if we would just turn back to Jesus Christ.

“If you win the coffee maker, you don’t win the car.” Wait, what??? He explained that terribly, and wrong. I think she was TRYING not to get any of the other prizes right, which is the exact opposite to how you’re supposed to play it. I gotta have a word with Bob about this… oh wait, he just passed away. He lasted 99 years! That car was lucky to last one! Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the bids: 400, then 375. Not giving himself a big window there. Then 300 followed by: 295?! So, really banking on the price being within that 4 dollars. Could have said $1 and had every price up to 300, or 401 and had every price above 400. But she was confident the price was between 295 and 299. And the actual price was over $1k. Hilarious.

That game was the easiest giveaway because all you had to do was look at the numbers you had to move around. The choices you had were 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 and you knew that it had to be #1 for the car because the iron cannot be $11 and the cookware cannot be $12 and the coffeemaker cannot be $10 and the wood finish cannot be $13. The EASIEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

[@demijour1234]

[@trekkiejunk]

I was surprised the wood finish was so expensive. $23 for that tiny container in 1985? That's over $60 today. Maybe polyurethane was a newer product back then, and was still expensive. A whole quart today will run you 15-25 bucks, depending on what kind you get.

Very strange to see a timed game with no timer.

[@Sean-me4fv]

According to Bob, if you get another price correct you don't win the car you win that other prize. Yet she won both prizes. I'm confused too.

[@newageoutlaw]

You win whatever prizes that you have the prices you have correct at the end of both guessing cycles. If Vicky had the iron right she would have won the iron. Because she had the prices correct for the wood finish and the car she won both of those. Winning the car isn't dependent on getting all five prices correct.

[@capacitatedflux]

It wasn't explained particularly well - if you get the number correct in two items, you win those two items. If you got all 5 numbers correct, you'd win all 5 items.

[@strix.1]

Yes...Bob explained it correctly, 🤔 he just did not explain it clearly to someone who has no idea how to play.🙃 I actually got confused because I was thinking the box for how many she had right was supposed to be the timer. I guess they added that later.⏲💲

[@traemcpherson7266]

Any prize that has a correct price, you win that prize, so make sure your guess on the car is correct! I always thought this game deserves a cool bonus for getting all five right.

He definitely blew it on the games description. If you got them all right you would've won them all. He made it sound like you want only 1 right.

[@simontills7090]

Bad game. The aud groaned when it came out. Good for her.

[@willmack5909]

I like this game except for the fact that because it is for a car AND small prizes, it required the show to play one extra "quicky" pricing game that day. Ditto if they play Pathfinder, Spelling Bee, Five Price Tags, Master Key, Pass The Buck, Hole in One (or Two), Stack the Deck or Let 'Em Roll. A "quicky" game is a game that is usually not played for a car AND does not have any small prizes or grocery items as part of the pricing game. So Range Game is a quicky, Switch?, Most Expensive, Race Game, all examples of what I call "quicky games".

[@Chainsawslots]

That was so easy. None of those could cost less than 20

[@trekkiejunk]

This was such a frustrating contestant. She didn't spend a second thinking for herself, and then just put numbers in randomly. She didn't use any strategy, like eliminate numbers by starting with the cheapest product, and approximating the values. Uggh.

Maybe the missing number was the phantom 4. Which is not programmed into the switcheroo number right square.
