TPiR 4/22/11: Electric Car in 3 Strikes

I apologize for the first five seconds, had to run out very quickly on that day.
Well, the Volt certainly surprised everyone in the studio, and I guess it doesn't look like a Cadillac that made the last playing so exciting, but this turned out just as epic.

[@MystikWizard]

Always great seeing winners in this very difficult game. It always come down to a minimum 50/50 chance at winning when you are down to the last number and a strike.

[@MrHalfAnInch]

MystikWizard let me double check your math brb

[@christophernicholson20]

3 strikes needs to be retired. That game is a nail biter. The odds are against you. The best part about the game even if you get the first two strikes you're in good shape then you got to guess all five of the numbers and put them in right spot the worst part is you get the last third strike and the game is over

[@ralphedds1]

She's a sweetheart, happy she won, people have won this game but she came back and did it with odds against her.

[@JonesDylan874]

Yeah. It's always exciting to see someone win 3 Strikes despite no numbers on the board and 2 strikes early.

[@hiram810A]

I really like how Drew finally got into the game. His first year he was rather uptight (probably nerves), but it's good to see he's finally kickin' ass and havin' fun with it.

[@silvialogan9226]

It is always exciting when a contestant wins a car in 3 Strikes because it is a very difficult game to play.

[@Mic110283]

WHAT A COMEBACK!!!

[@carexpertandy]

I was very amazed! I knew a Chevy Volt costs around $40k, but it seemed like nobody here had any clue since maybe they've read other stuff about this car, but never payed any attention to price lol

[@aliepaparazzi340]

Cause the car is electric that makes it more expensive like around 15 grand more

[@HomeRnDrby1]

@GSNSmashFan3 Same here... this was one major comeback! Was cheering for Lesa after she got the first three digits, as at that point it was known what the price of the Volt was known.

[@tythe06animatoralt]

WHAT A COMEBACK

[@ullgeologist]

Lesa is a beauty! 😍

[@shaint456]

i'm glad she won, i wouldn't have known either that an electrical car costs that much

[@randommanyey]

Playing that bloody tune again

[@zachhoran]

I wouldn't have said a Chevy Volt was as much as this one was, but I guess it's a 3 strikes level car. Of course if the game was That's Too Much or Stack the Deck, the car would not likely have been won :)

[@BNSF36542]

It's an exciting moment! Great Job! WayoshiM!

[@krierp8]

I want to play 3 Strikes and win a Chevy Corvette!! This game, not Plinko, should be the most popular game on TPIR hands down!!

[@jeepthing98]

that $40,000 + price tag is also why I dont see Volts on the road.

[@RCPlanes59]

WOW. What a comeback.

[@davidellis5141]

Lesa is awesome 👌 - What a great GF she would be ! 😎

[@ScottGammans]

Awesome job!

[@johnnyballenatl]

@TVLubber Well, they TRIED to give away a $112,000 Tesla Roadster -- which was the most expensive prize ever offered in TPIR history -- this time last year in Golden Road (renamed Green Road for Earth Day), but didn't. But the most expensive prize WON on TPIR was a $105,000 cabin cruiser (also in Golden Road) during a Million Dollar Spectacular in 2005.

[@qaII56056]

Maybe we had a big day there, if she could've won the showcases.

[@user-nc1hn7bl7h]

😂 Congratulations !!

[@curtisheenan]

This game is pretty hard to win nowadays because they brought back all three strikes.

[@curtisheenan]

when they only used one for awhile

[@bL3dbL4k]

What was the name of the game, 1 strike?

[@puchunful]

+Jay V Probably still called 3 Strikes, but they just toss the 1 chip back in the bag.

[@jnadle1]

By the way, at about what point did George Gray start mentioning his Mama Mae?

[@alexhoule1824]

Somewhere in Season 42.

[@djcchs2004]

Sweet. Suck that WOF didn't give away the Volt during "Going Green" week. I glad it was won on TPIR. But I don't know why she pick 2 or 3 as the first number, when in 3 Strikes the car is always worth at least $40,000.

[@christopherdunbar394]

Good episode that rough

[@TheReviewingNetwork]

Do you know if they ever confirmed on air that George Gray was going to be the official anouncer?

[@Kalgon1]

nice comeback

[@Sweden2023]

CONGRATS! How is the car going?

[@zachhoran]

Mike Richards wishes he played TTM for this car.

[@NickCMedia]

@johnnyafairbanksak Actually, "given away" means the contestant actually won it. But since the Roadster wasn't won, it was not "given away". The *attempted* to give it away, or "offered" it.

[@nganmatthias]

Match Game Hollywood Squares theme.

[@JonesDylan874]

WELCOME TO COMEBACK CITY. POPULATION: LESA.

[@MisterPeewee135]

She lost the showcase

[@gsparkway324]

I like the new "No" graphic

[@The923611]

Yes It Is.

[@michael57511]

On April 22,2011 here in St Louis Mo due to the weather coverage of severe weather i missed 30 minutes of the price is right and there was going to be a severe weather outbreak here in St Louis Mo at the time and it was good Friday so i missed the 30 minutes of the price is right.

[@Bevity]

Electric car. 40 miles to the gallon. Let's see. Can we convert gallons to Watts? I certainly can't. I'm sure they might possibly know what they're talking about, but it defeats me.

[@rightbackatu]

These 5 numbers are the lucky ones, the other 3 Strikes win used the same numbers but different order.

[@tpir1972]

That's the first 3 strikes comeback since Willie when he won that Cadillac back in 1995?

[@Paulbuslon]

I think those were the same digits when Jalessa when her car but the price was $45, 283.

[@justinwills8561]

❤️😘

[@930bestvideos]

The girl needs to know that they never give away 20K cars on 3strikes.

[@stevenjordan3839]

exactly, they begin in 4-9 for price with this game (40K-90K) and never are 3 (limited few times with this game was it ever that and beginning at 30K or a standard price for a standard car game). they never begin in 2 for price or less (20K). If it begins in 10 (100K+) rebuild prop to accommodate 100K+ being the price of the car as golden road, 3 strikes and triple play are played 10X a year or less, production needs to pick people who know what they are doing when pricing the kinds of cars given away on those games, for 3 strikes and golden road they need to at production level pick people who know exactly what they're doing with them with no mistakes able to be made due to the limited play frequency with them. if they are picking people who do not know, make them do their homework on the luxury car they are playing for and they should know its price at all times to perform to the correct result of a win

[@seanmc7128]

Keep that car ill take the girl instead. ❤😍

[@laurena5502]

Wait isnt 800 closer to 780 ?

[@MrMarcellolsilva]

good luck paying the taxes on that car.

[@systemoperator]

Ironic, huh? "Triple Play" is still winless, still continues on a 10 game losing streak, and was lost on the episode from March 22, while this game has been won twice this season (the episodes from February 18 and today) and is at 2-1. I wonder what'll happen to "Golden Road" next time they play that game.

[@Qusin111]

lol and taxes are $11,760 almost the price of a very nice used car that she can't afford but whatever these prize games suck because of taxes.

[@rjs2085]

Lol who thinks a cell phone costs 1600 bucks?

[@joedirt7119]

What a beautiful lady

[@antoniocastello8536]

$204,000

[@fable9159]

204000.......

[@jcartwright9036]

What is with the 30 dislikes?

[@LowellDevil]

For some reason I miss Fat Drew.

[@justinhaynes89]

You call THAT an electric car?! Electric cars run on batteries like a Tesla.

[@ultratech6671]

justinhaynes89 just like a volt as well idiot

[@4406bbldb]

Tesla only runs on batteries, this can do both and that's vary trustworthy.

[@wturner777]

And also the Nissan Leaf.

[@davelordy]

She cheated, one of her arms was fake.
