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 03:51 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.
