Today's instant fan favorite was Leela, who won on her first go on bidders' row.
The crowd went bananas, chanting Leela's name and everything:
And what does every old person who can't walk up a flight of stairs without assistance need?
A new pickup truck! Of course!
Leela could hardly believe it...
In a cruel twist of fate, however, poor Leela got one of The Price is Right's most difficult games:
She did not win. Nor did she win on the wheel, despite a helping hand from Drew Carey:
In the Twitter-verse, most fans simply adored Leela in her quest for glory. Not everyone, though:
@MissAudreySue There is no way this million year old lady can drive this ford f150 on the price is right
@IceburrgSlim Why do they put old people on The Price Is
Right? What they gonna do with a brand new car, go to the grocery store?
Cruel bounce of the day
With help from Publishers' Clearing House, Andrea had a chance to win $40,000 with her final Plinko chip ($20,000 today plus the $20,000 rolled over from yesterday). It was looking good, but...
So, tomorrow the big prize is $60,000. This is lining up for someone to win $80,000 on Friday, isn't it? Not that I'm suggesting it's fixed.
