My Favorite Price is Right DSW's of All Time

[@jsboening]

The Price is Right with Bob Barker was the reason to stay home from school sick. Loved that show.

[@DPaz-ug6zh]

Before there were DVRs, heck before some of us even had VCRs, the only way a kid could bask in the glory of Price is Right was on a sick day!! Great memories! Love this show!!

[@isaacgraham5727]

So so so true, for me that was always the absolute highlight of getting to stay home sick from school - watching Price is Right hosted by Bob Barker at 11am. Because as a kid in the 80s or 90s you never got to watch that show unless you were staying home sick, it was just one of those things!

It takes awhile to get used to doing this show.

[@cameraredeye3115]

@@my3dviews To be fair the producers initially thought he cheated to get that price right on the nose so there was a LOT of suspicion surrounding that bid (though they had no proof to back up their claims). And needless to say, Drew, being the rookie TPIR host that he was at the time, was NOT prepared for such an event to happen. Lol

[@my3dviews]

@@cameraredeye3115 How could he have cheated? That would require that an insider gave him the info.

[@timothyparryjropen]

@@my3dviews They thought someone in the crowd(his wife?) was giving him answers somehow and stopped taping to ensure he didn't actually cheat.

BEST SCENE EVER!

[@michaelswisher9574]

That dude that got the bid perfectly right and Drew was pissed at him lol

[@blind_t2]

I wouldn’t say pissed at him, the whole staff thought what? Heck, if this was in bob’s era, even he would’ve probably been shocked, different reaction from this, but shocked. I kinda liked that if I’m being honest. It kinda separated the real LFAT’s from the rest. Like, they say they watched for a certain amount of time, but sometimes it shows when you missed some shows. I think him, and buy or sell michael are in a league of their own. Coming up with a strategy to win respectively.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

At 9:51, that's a historic moment! I bet Bob wished he could've been there for that. Sharon had a difference of $494 and Terry probably thought she'd beaten him but then he found out his bid left him with a difference of exactly ZERO! I like how Terry's going, "What?! What?! What?!" Terry can't believe that not only that did he win both showcases but that he got the bid EXACTLY RIGHT! That's his moment to shine. A difference of $0! You can't do any better than that!

[@adamf1769]

+Alexander Edward Pytko believe it or not its been rumored that Terry "strategically" bid for his prizes to get the exact price by studying all previous showcases. I'm sure there was some luck involved, but he did an interview later on and said that he did in fact study common price is right goods to get their actual retail price!

[@alexanderpytko5394]

A Fisher Well, nothing wrong with doing your homework to win.

[@jajison]

The reason Drew wasn't enthusiastic was because they delayed the reveal for a really long time, apparently like 90 minutes to find out if Terry cheated or not. They couldn't find any evidence and Drew was tired of waiting.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

Jason McGraw Well, yeah. Terry studied a lot of showcases and there's no rule against that. He came to the show prepared.

[@jajison]

Alexander Edward Pytko Yep, I didn't say he did anything wrong.

[@jbrisby]

I'm sure I remember seeing that time in 73 when someone got it exactly right. It's a little fuzzy, as I was two years old.

[@chayannewasawasa214]

LOVE THIS. THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@StukInBuf]

I'm sorry as I skipped over various showcase scenes, but I recall one from early 1986 in which an old guy from Vancouver bid $29,500 on a showcase including a Porsche... he won both showcases because it was actually $29,557, and he was closest with his $57 difference.

[@anthonyberry9839]

it is extremely strange to watch an episode from the 70s after watching all the new shows and how she reacts to 8k in prizes the same exact way someone reacts to 80k in prizes

[@warrenewell6265]

Keep in mind, though, that the dollar was much more valuable back then.

[@cantalope67]

Wait till the IRS gets ahold of them. You don't get the prices to you pay the taxes and if you can't pay the taxes you don't get anything

Phenomenal Bidding! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

[@nateman79]

The last lady lost both showcases by ONE dollar. that made me sick to my stomach. That poor woman probably ended up in an institution

[@jamesblood6035]

The perfect bid is painful to watch; one of the rare failures in TPIR production. The show was stopped for 45 minutes to investigate before the winner was actually revealed; it should have been treated like a genuine win to get the real reaction and THEN they can figure out what happened.

[@d820m]

I was always under the impression that you win both Showcases only if your bid was less than 100 dollars away of the actual retail bid

[@babyade100]

So if you are the last person to get your bid read... you already know you've won!?! lol I am a big fan of this show & never knew that...

[@jajison]

Not necessarily. Going second loses plenty of times but all DSWs have their bid read second.

[@niapor]

the only time that the "2nd person" should know they won is if the person who got read 1st "would had won both showcases under normal circumstances"? ( the 1 dollar difference ), as there is always a chance the second read was an overbid or slightly more than 1st read differential....................... only way (it seems as the rules says "the winner" ( one with less difference without going over ) has to be 250 or less in difference without going over ) to have both winning the double showdown would be if both had the exact same differential? ( which has never happened )

[@richardgaspard7917]

not always.. some times there is a double overbid. on those days it doesnt matter who's bid gets read first or 2nd

[@sha11235]

In these cases, yes, the dsw is read second. Makes sense because it ends the show on a great note. The last one Bob had to read the one that was a little higher first. It didn't necessarily mean that the other person was going to be closer though. Maybe he did it for suspense.

[@tonybidwell2582]

@@richardgaspard7917 You're right, Rich! I've seen that happen myself, even in the Barker days!

[@alexanderpytko5394]

I wonder what would happen if both contestants' bids were exactly the same and were enough to win both showcases.

[@adrian993]

Each contestant would win two showcases for a total of 4 showcases being handed out! That would be AMAZING to see!!! LOL. That, or a duel...one final pricing game to the death... ;)

[@LoyalmoonieProductions]

both contestants would win both showcases

[@JaceTan-90]

Will have to wait and see for that outcome

[@Cydonia2020]

According to TPIR website, yes, both would win both showcases. Never happened, but as you saw, it came very, very close.

[@warrenduree9417]

Bring out the wheel again for a final spinoff? I know that's not how they would handle it... but would be badass.

[@OWEN-CASH]

Drew Carey didn't seem that enthusiastic about the contestant who got the exact bid. Perhaps he suspected there was some cheating going on?

[@dj4monie]

Everybody including the production staff thought Terry cheated, he won the Golden Road earlier The truth was, preparation meets opportunity. Terry has a photographic memory (1), (2) he used to be the Weatherman for a TV station in FLA, he's not a dummy (3) he recorded the last several years of PIR and re-watched them. He noticed the same prizes were given away every so often. Everybody knows that but he put together and bid perfect to get on stage. That was his 2nd or 3rd trip to the show from Las Vegas though. You can read all about it online.

[@OlentangyThe]

There’s a documentary about the whole thing, I think it’s called the perfect bid, and what it puts forth as the truth will surprise you.

[@drewzuhosky6826]

@@OlentangyThe There was serious concern among the staff that CBS would not allow the Dec. 10, 2008 _Price is Right_ episode to air.

[@RCVictoryLane]

He essentially broke the system that day. They change prizes for showcases a lot more often now

[@neferazure]

They suspected it, but turns out he didn't cheat. He was just very strategic and calculated in his bidding. They figured out the system and used it to their advantage. Price is Right changed their system after that.

[@scottstacey7447]

Actually, there was an exact bid in the Barker era. in the first year, someone bid $2200 on a showcase and that was the price. You heard Drew say that hasn't happened since '72 or'73.
