TPIR 12/20/2006: A Painful 3 Strikes

[@dariusherring9730]

5:20. OHHHHHHHHH! That's typical Bob Barker heartbreaking reaction after a painful loss.

[@deja.vunathan]

That is probably the most painful car game loss I've seen yet. From four correct numbers with no strikes to a loss....'nuff said!

[@DorvellTStewart]

I saw this the day it aired; was in my high school broadcasting class, but didn’t have a project to work on so I was killing some time.“Painful“ doesn’t even begin to describe this loss.

[@tythe06animatoralt]

3 consecutive strikes. Hold on it’s another historic moment!

[@joejoeevans]

5:19 Bob: Make it a number- OH!!!! What a Miserable loss! Oh! Christian: Why did you do this to me, Bob!? Bob: Augh! Now listen to this, what did you just say? Christian: Why did you do this to me, Bob? Bob: Why did you do this to me. I tried so hard to give this kid a Cadillac! Christian: No, I know you didn't, It's . . . It's not your fault! Bob: Well, go take a rest and you'll be back to spin the big wheel.

Painful Loss

[@Musicradio77Network]

Christmas 2006 is ruined! Thanks to the Grinch!

[@ArturoGarcia-mt7ch]

We'll be back after these words.

[@dfghdfghuytiu8207]

Every time they remove a number from the bad, your chances of drawing a strike go up.

[@jamesanthonygreen6170]

I actually enjoyed watching this video along with Bob's reaction at the end despite the painful "Gobble Gobble" loss.

[@ivanmay7890]

It is quite obvious that Roger Dobkowitz did not want Christian to win that Cadillac in 3 Strikes.

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

At the time, the Cadillac CTS is known to be the baby Cadillac of that era.

[@allenmui5457]

Wow! That hurts after doing so good and got every single number until drawing three strikes in a row.

[@SP84Fanatic]

Which also featured the most expensive 3 Strikes car ever, a $56,000+ Lincoln Navigator.

[@sweetlife031]

Do you have the clip where a contestant named Barbara plays for a suburban in 3 strike me (she had long, dark brown straight hair) 🙂👌🏻

[@JustinArtistry]

5:20 4 Numbers correct and 3 Strikes at the end. What are the odd?!

[@bmasters1981]

Think how much more painful this and other painful losses under Bob would have sounded with today's Drew Carey losing horns (the one w/the drumbeat)!

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

"Oh, Christian! Christmas 2006 is ruined!"

[@silvialogan9226]

It is a painful loss because he was picking all numbers until the 3 strikes came along.

[@jessyleppert2]

Bob's last Christmas week as host of The Price Is Right

[@tarawhite8873]

I be laughing at those losing buzzers and horns 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@D2Kprime]

I *LOVE* The Price Is Right losing horn! **BUURRRRRR!!!** LMBO!! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@christophercotton9048]

the poison arrow got him in the end.

[@darrendoyle568]

Bob was ready to call it quits after this painful loss lol

[@DaniRadioCat]

Oh yeah, later in this same episode, he spins 95 cents on the wheel and then the contestant after him gets the dollar and gets to the Showcase, talk about bad luck ;(

[@bmasters1981]

I like how he assures Bob that it wasn't Bob's fault-- very sportsmanlike for Christian to say that, at least IMO.

[@47imagine]

meh he comes off as an arrogant prick

[@MONOPOLY35]

This is totally insane! A 1 in 8 coincidence ruins everything.

[@rileysutton4627]

Michael Taylor, do NOT, I repeat NOT declare this a technical win.

[@ericsiegel2401]

Anyone have the January 22, 1993 episode with Ebunolorun Sims? I heard there was a painful loss in 3 Strikes in that episode.

[@jinglebell61]

Do you think we should get a break and come back and finish this?

[@1bosstv]

The inverse would be epic i.e. Draw 2 strikes, then properly place all the numbers! Saw that on Pathfinder where someone blew all 3 second chances just to get off the first number, then they got every number right to win! Here's a dumb loss, Lucky $even, someone had 5 bucks left on the last number and guessed it as 0. The number was 9! Why not just say 5!

[@sweetlife031]

Christian is dead cute!

[@midnightsocietynyc]

Since when do they put the strikes back in the bag after they are pulled? If my eyes and ears didn't fool me, I think Bob put the first strike back in the bag after it was pulled. Shouldn't have that been discarded?

[@HunterWrangler]

midnightsocietynyc the original rules had the 5 numbers and 3 strike chips. At some point, they changed the game to only include one strike chip that would be replaced if drawn. By doing this, it actually improved the probability of winning as at any given time there are fewer strikes in the bag (except at the end). The game is still pretty tough.

[@kennymurphy2116]

Actually, they originally had 4 numbers and 3 strikes. (Chalk another one up to inflation.)

[@cutemimi25]

R.I.P. BOB BARKER

[@Guns_and_Saints]

5:09 "Number think Number." I think he was thinking bowling. You know if you get three strikes in a row in bowling that's good and that's a turkey. They should've gave him a turkey for that.

[@TheALBRKO]

I feel the pain to!

[@plushbatfan]

This pricing game could have been easier had the first number was given for free.

[@SP84Fanatic]

That was done in the 1994-95 syndicated version with Doug Davidson. However, since contestants had to place 4 numbers instead of 5, the car offered was much less expensive. The way it's setup here, and since Season 38, is that the odds are against the contestant, but they will be handsomely rewarded if they win. It's a good combination of luck and pricing that makes for exciting television.

[@patrickgray5633]

That is the worst loss from a bad luck stand point I’ve ever seen. 1 strike which I get they didn’t to improve winning odds but to pull the strike 3 straight times with 1 number left his a shot to the groin.

[@Guns_and_Saints]

Every day I bet he thinks about this.

[@MirandaChong-wf7gn]

5:20 naughty list for Christian

[@gameshowguy2000]

And the ARP was $56,321. And not only that, the contestant only locked in 3 numbers before striking out.

[@strix.1]

His luck improved...I watched this today in 2023 and this time he locked in 4 numbers before striking out and the price came down to $32,489. I am going to rewatch in 2033 and see if he wins!! Wonder what the ARP will be then.🤔😂✌💲❌❌❌

[@racheljohnson2219]

The Lord said, not today! I’m gonna bless you with something different! It’s funny how the Lord works like that

[@rudyiraheta80]

what will drew say

[@jinglebell61]

Why did you do this to me Bob?

[@jhillst]

This is why 3 Strikes is one of my least favorite car games on TPIR. No matter how well you play the pricing part of the game, in the end, you still have no better than a 50% chance of winning based on dumb luck.

"How long ago did you buy your first Cadillac?" Hilarious.

[@davidtosh7200]

Glad they took this pricing game out because it is time consuming and more then 90 percent of the contestants loses

[@johnathanpatrick6118]

Joseph Patin Somebody had all $7 to play with in Lucky $even...the last digit was 8 and the contestant guessed 0. WHY??!! A 3 through 6 guaranteed a car! In your case, Joseph, a 4 or 5 almost guaranteed a car. But a 0 is almost certain death.
