spatchI seem to have found myself watching Bob Barker's last turn on The Price Is Right.
So I can say I was there, man.
The first contestant won a Corvette, and then they played Plinko. The place is going nuts.

Date: 2007-06-15 03:45 pm (UTC)BOB IS #1 got 55 cents on the first spin and ends up getting 80 cents.
Melba nearly konks her head on the Big Wheel, then falls over again on her second spin and the guy from Canada helps her back up. GO CANADA! She doesn't beat BOB IS #1's price, so Bob says "Let's get you back over here before you hurt yourself!"
Dean spins, gives a shout-out to Canada, but can't beat BOB IS #1.
Corvette Girl and BOB IS #1 on the Showcase Showdown!

Date: 2007-06-15 03:51 pm (UTC)"This Showcase is all about things with the word SAINT in them!" Whoa, lame.
First up: A trip to St. Maarten!
Next: St. Patrick. Guess where that leads? EXCITING IRELAND!!
"And certainly your friends will think you're a saint when you pick all the kids up from soccer practice in this LINCOLN NAVIGATOR!"
There was a cartoon for the "saintly" mother. I wonder what would have happened if the showcase was for the guy.
Corvette Girl passes to BOB IS #1, who bids $61,000.

Date: 2007-06-15 03:53 pm (UTC)The first one remembers she left steaks cooking on an outdoor grill.
The second one remembers that she is due to leave on a cruise through the lovely and scenic Mediterranean! I hate scheduling conflicts like that.
Finally, the third one remembers she has a free coupon that expires "in five minutes" for a car wash for her NEW CADILLAC CONVERTIBLE!
Corvette Girl is excited to the point of incoherency, but she bids $84,823.

Date: 2007-06-15 03:59 pm (UTC)Actual retail price for BOB IS #1's showcase: $68,677... for a difference of $7677, which means CORVETTE GIRL WINS!
She has won $104,235 in prizes and her family's totally excited.
Bob Barker makes a nicely humble speech. I may paraphrase: "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank you for inviting me into your homes for the past thirty-five years. It has been an honor and a pleasure. And please remember, help control the pet population! Have your pets spayed or neutered! Goodbye!"
Then they all go over to Corvette Girl and her family and wave goodbye, and I think Bob got a hug from Les Moonves.
