Price Is Right Show

It’s hard to believe that it was three months ago when I met up with a number of other All Your Can Jet fliers to watch the Price Is Right taping in Los Angeles. Time sure flies by.

I grew up watching Bob Barker hosting the show. Turning on the television in the family room, watching the Plinko chips bounce their way down the board into the slots just off-center, sadly adding zero to the contestant’s winnings.

Watching the show on television is much different than watching it happen live. In the studio, well, you definitely feel the energy of the audience. Everyone is so excited they don’t quiet down for more than a few seconds during the breaks. It’s non-stop yelling and applauding from the start to the end of the show. The audience came to win stuff!

Being a contestant would be scary enough with the cameras and lights pointed at you. In the middle of all the excitement you have to come up with an amount to bid closer than the other three contestants. If you name the right price, you can win boats,jet skis, even a jacuzzi. Sounds more like a luxury item than a necessityof life.

Maybe it’s the fact that each person in the audience has a chance to get on stage and play for things they couldn’t dream of buying on their own.

Like any contest, many enter and only a few win. Those who don’t win still get to have fun for an hour, make new friends, and hope to get on television to show to their friends and family back home.

Everyone wins something.
