TPiR 1/27/09: Showcase Reveal - OUCH!

[RCPlanes59]

Remember when showcases were $13,000? Yeah, Mike'd never stoop that low.

[MrKman310]

the sad thing...if he didnt change his mind i think he would have won -_-

[azcade101]

That overbid was extremely painful.

[TheShredtube]

@azcade101 there was one girl who overbid by $1. Her bid was 12000, and the showcase was 11999....now that is painful

[engrish2006]

It's makes for great TV – at the expense of the losing contestant, though – when someone overbids by just that much. That must have been painful. :(

[eastsideboy999]

what's scary is if he would have bid $8,000 he would of won o_O

[cartoongameshowfan76]

So close and yet so far!

[redrabbit11]

I would cry. and then be pissed forever

[meltdown4500]

Lesson learned: Don't listen to your friends on a game show...

[wheelingdude12]

$9 only?, ouch, that must've sucked man

[DPA1288]

This is nothing like when someone bid $12,000 on their showcase, and the ARP was $11,999 and it was also a double overbid.

[tsjrlover]

I have always hated this aspect of this show. Someone bids and is 5,000 dollars short, and the other person is a couple bucks over. Who made the better bid? I've always found that totally unfair.

[MixesAndStuff]

fuck you and your opinion

[tsjrlover]

Why so hostile? I was just giving an opinion. Shame on you.

[MixesAndStuff]

I have the right to my opinion and my opinion is that you have no right to your opinion so FUCK YOU.

[WayoshiM]

Nice answer. - -'

[tsjrlover]

Okay, I'm going to block you now. Bye bye. I hope you get rid of what's up your ass really soon hon.

[WayoshiM]

While sometimes the better bid does lose, the over rule adds another dimension to bidding - you want to be close (especially for the DSW), but if you overdo it, you're done. It's one of the best temptations in game shows

[animfan1]

What date did that $24,200 bid occur?

[owensb01]

If he wouldn't have listened to his friends, his $8,000+ bid would've won.

[newman20072008]

$9?????????? DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[nextbarker]

$9 OB and he don't seem to care.

[smashwhammy]

He probably forgot about the NO GOING OVER rule and thought that he was a DOUBLE SHOWCASE WINNER

[quadrupleplay]

How did someone with a "We Know The Right Price!" shirt on even get into Studio 33 with the new policies?

[zachhoran]

That Jet Ski showcase is probably the least expensive showcase in the post-Barker era.

[WayoshiM]

I would agree...except I pointed out what the cheaper one was in the description. :P

[jarvisbrodiea1]

I see. They must have taped the episodes with set additions like sometime early. How do they work on their taping schedules in Hollywood?

[jarvisbrodiea1]

I thought they had gotten rid of the Green Screen effects on trips and replaced them with Video Screens and also installed a video wall behind the audience.

[WayoshiM]

Taping dates will catch up to that in about a month.
