The Price is Right - 5/2/12 Episode (Part 1)

I'll let George Gray sum up my thoughts on today's episode of The Price is Right:


The first round on bidders' row pretty much set the tone for the day. Note the antics of both Joshuas (not that you would miss them, anyway):


We have Joshua #1 wearing a "Big Poppa" hat and a Dolly Parton t-shirt, bidding $1 right out of the chute. We have Joshua #2... well, I don't even know what to say there.

As you can probably imagine, both played a starring role throughout the show. Joshua #1's opening bid "strategy" didn't work out, but he went back to the $1 well in round two. As the last bidder, it worked.

And then this happened:


So, up to now we had a pretty entertaining show. Unlike most of the "characters" that appear on The Price is Right, Joshua #1 was actually humorous.

Sadly, he blew a really easy set-up of "Flip Flop." With a trip to Atlanta on the line, he flipped when he clearly should've flopped.


The Price is Right just doesn't do $3,500 trips when airfare is involved. Oh well.

The show quickly took a turn for the worse from here with some truly terrifying pricing game play. The lowlight was Linda's performance on "Rat Race."


I loved the fact that Drew Carey - who created "Rat Race" - could barely hide his disdain after that $120 guess on a fairly tricked out vacuum. And $1.50 for a box of Cheez-Its? Linda doesn't do much shopping, does she?

Moving on, Rockin' Amber was back with her favorite prize, the karaoke machine. Old friend Daniel Goddard was on hand to make it a duet.


Let's watch the bidding for the karaoke machine, starting with Peggy not paying attention (despite being on national television), and Joshua #2 just swaying to the music in his head.


So how did young Joshua fare in his pricing game? Click here for the second half of this review.
