As part of today's Mothers' Day special episode of The Price is Right, Florence Henderson (of "The Brady Bunch" fame) was part of the show as a guest host/model/etc. Drew Carey introduced her prior to the first pricing game.
During Flo's opening comments about Mothers' Day, she says, "I know what mothers really want for Mothers' Day, and it isn't candy. It's eye candy."
At which point we're introduced to Johannes.
The thing is, he was introduced simply as "Johannes." No last name, no clue as to who he is - nothing. So, who is he? Flo's adopted son? Her lover? A model? The Rock's stunt double?
(According to Price is Right Recaps, he's personal trainer Johannes Brugger. So, there you have it - a little info during the actual show would've been nice.)
And here's my other thought: For the Fathers' Day episode - if they even do one - are we going to have an old man introducing some female "eye candy"? No, because that would be sexist and creepy, of course. I don't begrudge women's right to check out hot, muscular dudes, and the full-time The Price is Right models more than fill the "eye candy" quota for men. Just pointing out a little double standard there.
Oops
During the playing of Lucky Seven (covered in the first half of this review), Drew made it a point to say how "rugged" the SUV was. Here's Johannes and Flo bringing the car out on stage:
And here's why Drew went out of his way to mention the ruggedness (note: this didn't make the cut for television. This clip is courtesy of CBS' YouTube channel):
Pricing game FAIL
In honor of the happy-go-lucky spirit of today's episode, I won't go on a diatribe of dumb bids on bidders' row (even though there were a few). There were some pricing game gaffes, however, that just can't be ignored.
Nikki and Lora were first on stage, playing "It's in the Bag" for the chance to win $16,000. Here's the setup: you get six groceries...
...with five prices that you have to match to the groceries. If you get the first one right, it's $1,000, and then the money doubles from there on out, up to $16,000 if you get all five. You can stop and pocket the cash at any time, but if you keep going and are wrong, you lose everything.
Usually, the first two are really easy. Today was no different: the prices were $1.19 and $16.07, by far the least and most expensive prices shown. Looking at the items above, it's obviously the tissues and Allegra, right?
Nikki/Lora went with the tissues and... the coffee pods! Game over. What did those coffee pods actually cost?
Just missed!
Our other loss today came from Sharice and Ryan playing "Secret X." This is the tic-tac-toe game where an 'X' is hidden in the middle column, and you can get up to three X's to complete the tic-tac-toe to win the prize. You get one free 'X' and earn the other two by guessing the price of two items.
The first item seemed to be a slam dunk: $15 or $48 for what was basically a little towel rack with suction cups. For some reason, Sharice/Ryan thought this product to be $48. Rachel had to deliver the bad news...
...which Sharice did not take well.
They actually got the second, more difficult prize ($40 instead of $65 for a food processor) correct, giving them a shot at winning. I had a hunch the 'X' would be on top; Sharice/Ryan guessed the middle.
I was right.
LOLZ
This mother/daughter combo obviously has a sense of humor:
Yup, it's Donna and Dona! I assume Dona is short for Donatella or something, but still... very interesting.
