| This game was behind door #2. When Bob opens the door, a red backdrop appears with a $5000 bill on it, with Bob's picture. Hmm... Bob's on the $5000 AND the $10,000 bill? Wow! They get rid of the backdrop after Rod says you can win $5000 to announce four other prizes you can win, ranging from about $300 to $3000. Each of the four prizes has a silver box next to it, and one of the silver boxes has $5000 in it. If you pick that box, you win the money and the four prizes, but if you're wrong, you win nothing. Since blindly guessing would make winning rather difficult, Bob gives you three clues to help you out. The clues go something like "eliminate the least expensive prize," "eliminate the prize that starts with the number 8," eliminate the prize that costs more than $1900," and stuff like that. After each clue, you will be asked to eliminate a prize. After all 3 clues, you will have eliminated 3 prizes, leaving only one left. The box to that prize is brought onto a stand, and Bob will have you open the box, in a rather confusing way. Bob will give you the directions on when to lift the box, which aren't always clear as it is, and tease the contestants when doing so, which sometimes leads them to open the box at the wrong time. Sorry, but this is the one time in Price is Right when I feel Bob shouldn't be teasing the contestants--he's just BEGGING them to take the lid off at the wrong time. Anyway, if there is indeed $5000 in the box, the contestant wins everything. If the box is empty, the contestant wins nothing. Unfortunately, they don't always show what the right prices were, and hardly ever if the contestant wins, so it's questioned if the contestant got the clues right, or just got lucky. |
