The Price is Right: November 10, 1980 (Infamous Grand Game chaser, Pauline episode!)

That was the best dishwasher on the market and the best in the world. $600 was a month’s salary for a mid-level white collar worker at the time. Rich white ladies insisted on these when equiping their dream house. They used 14 gallons of 140 degree water per cycle, so would be against the law today.

[@garyedwardgray7549]

I love Pauline. That was too much. And she had it NAILED! Three were obvious, IMO. The freshener was NOT. So, since she picked it third, it was over. She was guaranteed to win. That’s why Bob joked about everyone yelling “Yams”… because everyone knew. It was obvious. Knocking off the freshener early made it much more fun, because everyone knew what was coming. Such fun. One of the most enjoyable TPIR episodes ever.

[@artkurtz9238]

Not only that- by picking the least ovious one third, you lock in $100. Let's say you decide you won't stop at $1,000. (I wouldn't). At $100, there is no risk (at least under the Barker years, they are vague these days - but I still think you keep $100.) It's not much- but $100 is $100. She played it perfectly. That is how I'd do it.

You haven't lived until you watch Bob getting chased in slow motion! The pure joy on her face is priceless. I looked it up and $10k in November 1980 is equivalent to $36k today's dollars

And yeah, being sick at home is how most people fell in love with Bob, that and his devotion to animals. -The past few years I've had a habit of singing the phrase "Let's-go-to-bedddd, let's-go-to-bedddddd ....." in the Price Is Right theme tune, to my cat at bedtime. It's been harder to sing it this week, without my voice cracking. And I swear just a couple weeks ago I predicted to my daughter that TPIR would have a big birthday bash for Bob this December. Sigh. Thank you Bob all the love you gave to people and animals.
