What a day it was for The Price is Right contestants today: 5-for-6 in pricing games, and even the loss wasn't a total wipeout. On top of that, we had two exact bids on bidders' row and a $1 on the wheel.
Mary started us off with a "One Right Price" setup that was clearly meant to be won. Having to choose between a trip to San Francisco and Cancun, with $5,780 as the price, Mary went with Cancun. It seemed like a perfectly logical choice - no one would think a trip within the state of California would be over $5K.
Mary was right, but here's the thing: the price of the San Francisco trip was revealed to be over $6,300. Drew Carey did a double-take...
...and who could blame him? Had Mary been given the $6,300 price, she (and anyone else) surely would've gone with Cancun there, too. Given some of the evil setups there have been this season, I'm surprised they didn't go that route.
Matthew won a Hyundai Elantra in "Switcheroo" (here's a recap of how the game is played). After going 0-for-5 in the first round, he got three right numbers on his second try. Accidentally, he left one of the numbers the same (the '3' in the blender), so when it was revealed he had those three numbers right, it was almost automatic he had the car.
Matthew also wisely went with the '1' for the car. Most contestants eliminate the possibility of repeating a number in the price in these kinds of games, and the show likes to trick contestants accordingly. Matthew wasn't buying it, and was paid off.

The Price is Right - 5/1/12 Episode
Well, this happened today:
I would say that people should be made to take a basic competency test before being a contestant on The Price is Right, but then we wouldn't have classic moments like this.
Drew Carey was giving everybody the business today, which I really enjoyed. The last week and a half has been Drew's best stretch as a host since I started re-watching the show: engaging contestants, making fun of them where applicable, building the drama at the right times. He's been on top of his game.
And here he is getting a little dig at our old friend Daniel Goddard:
Top model: Daniel
They really put Daniel over on us today; he modeled most of the prizes up for bids, and even helped out in a few pricing games:
The fact that Daniel's high level of involvement came right as sweeps month is kicking off is just a coincidence, I'm sure.
