Price is right halloween

APrice is Right contestant caused quite a stir on Thursday’s (January 16) episode after making a crazily brave $1 bid during the Showcase round, only for it to pay off and win her a massive prize.

The contestant in question was Anna, who faced off against fellow contestant Amy Lee in a tricky pricing game.

Amy Lee was first up and had to guess the price of a laptop and craft suite, camping gear and painting set, and a Mazda Mazda3 S.

She initially wanted to say $55, before the studio audience talked her down.

Price is right tickets The Price is Right is one of the longest-running TV game shows. Since its premiere in , the show has used the same structure. As they move along, contestants can win prizes like cars, exotic vacations, and cash. The show's engaging format is a huge hit with the viewers , which is why The Price is Right continues to be on air even after all these years. Despite all his jokes, Barker was pretty thorough when it came to his hosting responsibilities.

She almost went for $35, but ultimately landed on $40,

“Alright, haven’t seen that in a while,” host Drew Carey said.

Per The Price is Right rules, if a player overbids, they automatically lose, so under-bidding is a known tactic. However, making such a move during the Showcase round, when high-priced items are on the table, is an incredibly bold tactic.

Thankfully for Anna, her risky play paid off, as Amy Lee’s guess of $40, was $11, over the actual price.

This meant Anna won the game with her $1 bid — the actual price of the trips was $38,, while Amy Lee’s items were worth $29,

Fans took to the The Price is Right Reddit page to debate Anna’s risky strategy, with some baffled by the decision and others praising her tactical thinking.

“A lady this morning bid $1 on the showcase… I initially screamed at the TV and threw my hands up.

But I was thinking about it, and if the other bidder was over, she still could have won with a ridiculous $1 bid on a showcase,” wrote one Reddit user.

“Why risk going over when you suspect the other person was over on their bid,” another said.

“I was so dumbfounded when I saw it at first, but then thought about it and I guess it made sense,” the original poster added.

“It almost never happens,” said another in regards to the $1 Showcase bid.

“Even Drew said it’s been a long time since someone bid $1 on the showcase. I just looked it up and it’s only happened 7 times in the past 20 years.”

Another wrote, “If you know your opponent overbid, it’s a great strategy.”

However, one commenter disagreed, saying, “It makes more sense in contestant row.

It feels like spiking the ball to do it during showcase bidding.

Ponder davis price is right When it comes to unforgettable moments on The Price Is Right , it's not just the wins that stick with us. The spectacularly off-base, hilariously misguided bids also make us cringe and laugh equally. Over the years, contestants have guessed sky-high prices on everyday items. These included hammocks valued at used car prices and living rooms at the cost of yachts. These moments aren't just funny but also unforgettable snapshots of game show history.

I thought it was disrespectful. The shame of overbidding is bad enough. To rub it in with a bid that will only win if your opponent has overbid is over the top.”

Others, though, said they’d have done the same, with one user writing, “When that first woman bid i said to my wife she’s way over so the other woman should bid a dollar but won’t. I was glad she did!”

“That’s bad ass honestly,” said another.

“Considering her opponent wanted to bid $55, on that showcase (with ONE car) before settling on $40,, I don’t blame her,” wrote one fan.
