The Price is Right - Epic Spinoff

Not only did these two ladies manage to tie each other FOUR times, one of them also breaks off one of the pegs on the wheel!
Airdate: October 4, 1985 (#5825D)

[@silentbob3208]

They spun the wheel so much it started to fall apart! 🤣

[@jprogman]

Pretty soon the wheel would have new metal brackets mounted to anchor every peg securely. The dividing lines on the wheel would appear thicker than usual.

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

I remember when it came off

[@jordanjaynes390]

I sure Bob was just kidding.

[@tonybino01]

I saw this live. My mom let me stay home from high school that Friday. It was my uncle's birthday too. It was 1985. The blonde lady won when he hit 15 cents beating the other lady who got 5 cents.

[@damsbaug33]

Thank you for recapping what I just watched.

[@kimarajamison6951]

This was awesome and hilarious! Thanks for sharing this! Bob and TPIR should've given them both $1000 just for this amazing spinoff.

[@AnthonyTorres1988]

If the wheel continues to spin ?, young and restless will be cancelled. Lol.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Thank you bob barker up in heaven for making me laugh.👍💐😄😇

[@graigmellon7874]

Oh my gosh... that alone is worthy of a gold star episode right there. And you're right, Y&R and other soap operas will not be seen today so that we can see the rest of these fun spinoffs.

[@AnthonyTorres1988]

Not only that ?, they are totally funny. Thanks to bob and his jokes.👍 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@vaderundershorts]

Kawana was so sweet and innocent, and the second lady was lost as to what the heck was happening... 😂

[@corkystorky]

you have a spot on the sweet and innocents my goodness

[@digiblader1]

Love when the spinoffs get so long, Bob starts mentioning they won't be able to show Y&R today just so they can finish this episode of The Price Is Right! Way better than the heavily edited garbage we see with Drew Carey..

[@wschmrdr]

Some of us on the east coast never understood that joke because there was a newscast (and local farm show for the affiliate where I grew up) between TPiR and Y&R.

[@DorvellTStewart]

Well in fairness, today's hour long time slot only allows an average of 42/44 minutes without commercials, so it's not exactly something the show can control.

[@arizonashane]

Goodness, the reaction from the audience after that last tie -- might have been the loudest I've ever heard on TPIR.

[@zzeroxxero]

Everyone asking what the odds are, if Maureen is consistently exerting the same force that causes a perfect full 2 revolutions each time, the chances are very high. Have maureen keep spinning, and you will see she will hit 2 perfect revolutions more than not. This whole ordeal was made possible only because of Maureen. 😅

[@shrapnel77]

Maureen did not know what the hell was going on. Barker had to tell her she was going to the showcase and she still looked befuddled.

[@Lupton2000]

October 4 1985 was an epic game show day. That same day on Jeopardy!, Chuck Forest retired as the biggest winner at that point.

[@ThunderFist1978]

This is giving me Press Your Luck vibes, when Cathy and Lori had their epic spin-off!

[@coreyprkr2013cp]

Fun fact: PYL was still coming on before TPIR at the time, another fun fact: PYL also was dropped a year later

@@coreyprkr2013cpIt was moved to the 4pm timeslot on January 6, 1986, which was formerly occupied by Body Language (and before that, the 1982 revival of Tattletales)

[@cnlaw]

First time I've ever seen FOUR spinoffs; three several times but not four.

[@JeeFLaV_Qc]

i mean, both sppined exactly identicly every time, so obviously it will turn to the same numbers, it is not shuffeling on the wheel

[@pjabrony8280]

It's a shame that Maureen wasn't the first to spin. She would have won $11,000!

[@silvialogan9226]

That was so hilarious with a four way tie.

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

Wow 4x! I think they should bring Bob Barker on for his 100 th Birthday in December ... depending on his health. I would definitely watch it.

[@robbernath]

Unfortunately, he passed on 8/26/23 at age 99. 😮😢

[@christopherjudge1138]

One of the LONGEST Showcase Showdowns ever presented on The Price Is Right during the Bob Barker heyday! 🙂🙂

[@coreyprkr2013cp]

Keeping my fingers crossed for this to be reinstated to TBE

[@angrybirdsfan2003]

And since they reinstated Bump, it should happen.

[@bubbles6126]

Bob looks like he’s had enough which would be me lol!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@bmaze35640]

That’s one of the biggest roars in TPIR history

[@johnnysama]

As I like to call this, QUADRUPLE overtime. :)

[@SyncopateTheShot]

Bob told her to spin it hard at 3:40. The reason is she had spun it exactly the same 4 previous times, and he didn't want another tie.

[@meyerj75]

Through the "Barker" Era, not only was four ties the record during the big wheel segment, but it was also the number of times all four contestants overbid as well.

[@ajk]

Did 4 ties ever happen again?

[@meyerj75]

@@ajk Not sure. I don't watch it as much during the Drew Carey era but if it did it would more likely be edited for broadcast since the timing of the show has been 38 minutes for the past 25 years (compared to at least 48 prior).

[@ajk]

@@meyerj75 I meant in Barker era specifically, I know it'd be edited now.

The blonde lady won on the 5th spin, hitting 15 cents, the brunette hit 5 cents. Still, they were only 2 frames apart.

[@Survivor1547]

RIP Bob You're truly missed.

[@acebrandon3522]

Both ladies shoulda received $1000.00 each for such an amazing spin-off.... Poor Bob Barker for being a damm tightwad.

Bob knows what we're thinking.

[@JasonA.Routhier-vw1wd]

I remember when the contestants didn,t get that wheel all the way around & Bob Barker would jokingly say in his almost anger type voice--NOW YOU GET THAT WHEEL ALL THE WAY AROUND OR I.LL KICK YOU IN THE ANKLE!!--WTF?! 😂 HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA!!

[@donaldnye2890]

I have always thought this wheel was rigged, I think they just wanted to see the girls spin again and again

Rumor has it Bob’s still trying to get The Young And The Restless cancelled in his grave…

The young and the Restless is upstairs of The Price is Right.

[@JohnRandomness105]

I saw another set of repeated ties in which the nickel got tied as well once.

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

I have to wonder if that is also the record for lowest score to get to the showcase showdown at 15c.

It's moments like 👍🏻 this that make you think 🤔 the wheel 🛞 was being controlled.

[@RichV20]

I love Maureens outfit

[@deftone4u]

I don’t think the blonde girl even knew exactly how she won lol

[@jeepthing98]

Any math experts wanna do the odds of this happening?

[@gameshows5973]

there are 20 spaces on the wheel so there's a 1/400 chance that you'll get a 2nd spinoff a 1 in 160,000 chance for a 3rd spinoff a 1 in 64,000,000 chance for the 4th spinoff

[@readerviewer9177]

They should have given them both 1000 dollars!

[@jordanjaynes390]

A dollar in one spin or a combination of two spins wins a $1,000 out of the spinoff.

[@jordanjaynes390]

I agree.

[@StLawrencePlace]

This was hilarious next to the spin off in 1987.

Here's a solution to the problem with multiple spin-offs. After the first contestant spins a number, then that number becomes a '0'.

Holy unfair, Batman! That’s stupid. Worse yet that sounds like something an actual crappy network would do.
