Price is Right is an endless source of entertainment.

The other day, this older lady got in the showcase showdown, and honestly, I can't remember what her showcase was, I think a car and a trip, and probably something else. She started with a bid of $50, 000 to which the audience obviously made a lot of noise, it being a bit high. So, she misunderstood their boos I guess, and changed her bid to $100, 000. Now, I'm fairly sure that as an older lady, shouldn't she err on the cheap side, like 'back in the old days'? The audience kicks up a HUGE fuss at this bid, so she drops it down to $90, 000. Which is good, because the little display thing can't handle 6 numbers, so $100K wouldn't have fit anyway. As you may have guessed, she overbid. It was really funny, but also kind of sad. My friend Jenn laughed when I told her this story and said it was like Dr Evil asking for "One MILLION dollars!".

Today on the show, a contestant was playing a game, and Bob stopped it for some reason. He couldn't hear the buzz or something. So anyway, they can't turn the clock back, so they just restart. There are 4 numbers, and the guy has to put a giant bingo dabber type thing above or below each number, for what he thinks the price is of his prize. After each guess, he has to push this button and it buzzes or dings to let him know if he's right. So he moves 2 and hits the button, and the thing starts dinging and lights up the correct placement of the bingo dabbers. The thing is, that it wasn't where he had them. He had 3 out of 4, but then so it stopped dinging and buzzed, but he had already seen where the things were lit up, so he moved his 4th thing to the right spot and wins.

Bob is losing his hearing and his mind, the games are malfunctioning...I'm afraid.
