Default Price is Right - you'll never guess what happened

I was watching the show today after writing my final exam, and the impossible happened......a contestant won the double-showcase by making a perfect bid on the showcase!! I saw the zero on the podium thingy and i couldn't believe my eyes.

Absolutely incredible.

Lol, I seen that too. I think Drew said it was the first time since the 70's. There has been double showcase wins before, but what are the odds of guessing exact.

Really? I thought the closest one to date had been something like 5 bucks away, but I could be wrong.

Drew was waaaay too nonchalant though. If it was Bob, he would have been all over it.

Well ... that clip just reminded me of another reason that Drew Carey was a horrible choice to host that show. Way to be Carey you hack.

Lol that other lady is unlucky. If the other guy were to lose, she would of won both I think. I cant remember the showcase rule. Is it under 1000 and you get both? If so bad luck for her.

Guessing 500 or closer to the actual price is a pretty damn good guess.
But to actually get it right on the money, with such a weird amount..

Ouch, that is terrible. Drew is so emotionless on that show, it's rediculous. I can't stand to watch Price as right anymore, Drew does such a poor job as the host.

If Drew has half that enhusiastic most of the time he'd be a awesome host.

WOW DREW CAREY IS TERRIBLE!

Bob and even that guy they had on the Price is Right Primetime Edition all knew how to fool the audience or give suspense or make rare occasions like this actually special.

Drew just read it out in a monotonous voice. That was digusting.

yeah, that lady got jipped! i would be willing to bet that getting within $500 would win the showcase like 95% of the time, if not even higher.

That was awesome! Isn't there tax on prizes in the US? Too bad he'll have to use his $26,000 to pay off his tax bill!
