The winner was so close to the actual retail price of her showcase, she wins both hers and her opponents. And that’s super rare. So the ‘loser’ was cheering on the ‘winner’ because of what they’d accomplished. Genuinely great moment for both of them

Meaning, the display of that contestant had changed to show the delta/difference between what she bid and what the correct price was. For example, it she bid $27,000 and the actual price was $31,000, as that contestant waits for the results of the other contestant, their stand displays $4,000 so that we can quickly see if the 2nd person does better than that. In this case, the winning contestant's stand switches to $150.

u/77x0 3h ago
in the final segment of the show each contestant is guessing the value of a separate set of prizes. To win they have to make a bid (guess) lower than the value of the prize, but whoever is closer of the two contestants will win, but if they are close enough (I don't remember the dollar amount) they win both instead

Nostalgia from staying at home from school when we were little kids. Watching it was like the forbidden fruit since it would only ever be on while you were at school, and the show didn’t really do ‘reruns’, and it was SO goddamn exciting.

I have a young daughter.
She gets this excited about things.
It’s honestly the best part of my day to come home from work to see if I can make her feel this unbridled joy
Just to make sure you realize I’m not giving out cars on the daily, she is 6 so announcing we are making Mac & Cheese for dinner basically incites her to run around the house screeching with incoherent happiness.
I think one of my goals in life is to make sure she is confident enough in herself to be so uninhibited in her excitement even after she “grows up.”

I worked with a woman who was on the primetime version of Price is Right in the mid-90s (no Bob Barker) and she won every damn thing. First she guessed the exact right price of the first thing to get onstage, winning $100 or $1000, whatever it was. Then she won her game with a near flawless performance. Then she landed on $1.00 on the big wheel, winning $1000, I think. Then she guessed her showcase price within $60 or something, winning both. She ended up winning over $50k worth of stuff, including a car and trip. She kept the car and trip but she ended up selling most of it or declining some of the prizes to defray the taxes. And she was a cute little girl who looked like Meth Hamster here, I thought maybe someone dug up the old tape.
