Here's one where Drew disses every single product. At least he's animated I guess.

I read in an article yesterday that the reason Drew seemed indifferent on that exact bid was because CBS had to stop filming for 30 to 45 min so they could
determine of the contestant cheated. Apparently someone in the audience yelled that amt since he's a huge shopper & memorizesprizes.
No evidence of cheating so they ran with the show. |

I googled it, here's what I got: To the dollar: 'Price is Right' contestant hits showcase guess on noseThere's an Internet buzz surrounding a "Price is Right" contestant who guessed to the dollar the price of his showcase of gifts during Tuesday's episode. Seems that such a precise "Double Showcase" guess has never happened in the show's long history. Contestant Terry's on-the-nose response gave him the items in his showcase as well as the showcase of his opponent, Sharon. So, how did this happen? Postings on message boards at golden-road.net, a website devoted to all things "The Price is Right," say one of the site's regular members was in the audience and had been shouting out pricing answers all during the show (Contestants use these shouted answers for guidance). In this case, the audience member, who calls himself "Ted" at golden-road.net, is an expert on pricing these items and has experience giving correct dollar amounts to contestants. "Not sure if I'm welcome at Studio 33 anymore, but I'm sure I'll find out one of these days," Ted wrote on a golden-road.net message board. A Las Vegas radio station says that it landed an interview with Terry. KQOL-FM identified him as Terry Kneiss. In the interview, Kneiss said he added up the items on his own and got no help from shouts coming from the audience. "I have a hearing problem," he said. He gave this advice to anyone who wishes to replicate his good fortune: "Do your homework. Watch the show, watch the show, watch the show." Also peculiar was host Drew Carey's understated reaction to the exact guess. "You got it right on the nose," Carey said to Kneiss, then he turned immediately to reminding viewers to have their pets spayed or neutered (a nod to longtime host Bob Barker's episode-ending sign-off). And just what did Kneiss win? His showcase (value $23,743) included a karaoke system, a pool table and a travel trailer. Sharon's showcase (value $31,019) held trips to Chicago, Alberta, Scotland and South Africa. To view Terry and Sharon's showcase, visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFUrCBXRH8o. To hear Kneiss' radio interview, visit www.aolcdn.com/tmz_audio/121608_price_right.mp3. and one more from defamer: It's been over thirty years since a contestant on The Price is Right guessed the exact price of their Showcase Showdown. So why was Drew Carey's so unenthused when it happened yesterday? According to TMZ, Carey's blasé delivery of "You got it right on the nozzze...spayed and neutered...I'm outta here" wasn't just the simple, tossed-off gesture of a man late to the afternoon hot wings special at Crazy Girls: A TMZ spy who happened to be in the audience during the taping says when Drew knew the guy hit the exact number, he stopped taping and had a pow-wow with show producers for nearly 30 minutes. Our spy thinks they were trying to figure out how to handle the situation on camera. Unfortunately, when they resumed taping, Drew's reaction was a little less than spectacular - while the crowd went insane. To be fair, the crowd goes insane at the merest glimpse of the Plinko board, but still! Had Bob Barker delivered the news, he surely would have brought it the deserved sense of occasion; we can envision him now, giving one of the Barker's Beauties a celebratory fondle while spaying the vanquished Showcase contestant in a little-known, terribly bloody consequence of her competitor's exact guess.

Drew Carey sucks so badly and this proves it. He should be fired. Bob Barker would have built this shit up and done some pointed hand gestures. And he would
have ended it all with, "Oh fuck it, today, leave your pets unneutered!"

In the interview, Kneiss said he added up the items on his own and got no help from shouts coming from the audience. "I have a hearing problem," he said.Even if this guy watched the show a lot and knows prices for items, there's no way he should possibly be able to add everything up like that on the fly while in the audience and come up with the exact price, to the dollar, not to mention remembering all these prices (and not every item on the show has their price revealed) and then passing along this information to the contestant on stage. Something fishy is going on here. |

So this guy AND someone in the audience both knew the exact prices by adding things up in their head? Seriously? I don't believe it.
And at the commentary about the audience going apeshit over just seeing the Plinko board. So true.

Instead of guessing the exact dollar value (since he clearly knew that he was going to be right), he should have made it less obvious that he was cheating,
going instead with a guess like $23,700 or something. He would still have gotten both showcases.

It certainly is suspicious, but I don't mind the no bidding with an end of 5 or 0. More people have caught on that the showcases end in any old number.
If anyone should be pissed, though, it should be the woman who lost to him. 99 times out of 100, if you're only off by $694, you're gonna win.

Drew Carey has single-handedly ruined TPIR for me. I can't even watch that show. He is so unfunny, terrible, and fat.

I assume the guy cheated, they couldn't figure out how to catch him, Drew got down about it and decided to deflate the moment entirely. I don't know,
I rewatched it, and something feels really off about the whole thing.

We need a good game show scandal. I don't think there's been one (in the US) since Press Your Luck. In my opinion, they should've celebrated on
the taping and then investigated later. If there was any evidence of cheating, then don't air the episode.

Its not cheating when they make a showcase out of the three prizes they use the most on the show. It doesn't take much to put 2 and 2 together and add up
their prices. If you watch the show semi-regularly, you would notice that the prices on three prizes never changes.

On a side note, when I was a kid, I used to get so excited when people won both showcases that I would cry. |

He didn't even win a car. What's Drew so huffy about? They should add extra cash if you get it exactly right. I mean who would cheat and then use the
exact number - they would change it so it was at least $100 away.

There have been literally thousands of Showcase Showdowns. Eventually somebody was going to get it exactly right. It's like the lottery.
It's just unfortunate that it didn't happen on Bob's watch. |

This is even worse (and embarrassing)....the back of our couch when I was a kid was somewhat close to the wall. When they would call someone down I would jump up off the couch and run around the back of it, pretending that I was going through the row trying to climb over people to come on down. God, what a
loser. I was about 5-6 years old before you bitches even comment that it was like last month.
