TPiR: What damage can be done to Mike's budget today at The Bob Barker Studio? Let's find out w/ these First Four in Contestant's Row- Valerie Shields, Edward McAuliff, Karli Cassidy & Christopher Berry (Manuela brings out the microphone). The first IUFB this episode's a Michele watch worn by Rachel ("Disaster" by JoJo).

Valerie: $1.5K/Edward: $1K/Karli: $650/Christopher: $651

ARP: $2,395

Valerie from Marina Valley, CA plays Cliff-Hangers (Manuela) for that $9,495 kitchen island (Rachel at Door #3)("Headlines" by Drake for that, "Someone Like You" by Adele for the SPs).

Condiment set: $10- $18 ($17 left)
Shaped alphabet cookie cutters (heart, square & star): $25- $20 ($12 left)
Four heart-shaped serving bowls: $25- $30

Player #5's Peter Hadley & the second IUFB (after he picks up Army wife Rebecca from the front row) is the VocoPro Champion karaoke machine (Amber in the clam)("Music Sounds Better With U" by Big Time Rush featuring Mann).

PETER: $599/Edward: $850/Karli: $1,200/Christopher: $629

Edward wins the $1K machine & his yellow shirt says "New car smell", but he's NOT playing for one right now...at least he refuses the Switch? to win these trips ('94 Trip Cue by Edd Kalehoff) to the Hilton Sedona Resort & Spa marked at $5,040 (Rachel) & the Southernmost Hotel Collection in Key West, FL marked at $7,359 (Manuela)!

Vida Hall's wanted sixth by GG & the third GUFB's a La-Z-Boy chair (Manuela behind splitting sign)("Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People).

Peter: $799/VIDA: $695/Karli: $1K/Christopher: $525

ARP: $1,649

Karli from Philadelphia plays Cover Up for the FIAT 500 AT (Std., Mats, Organizer)(Amber at Door #3)(a different version of an Edd current car cue's used, I think). This setup looks tough to yours truly:

First digit: 1 or 3?
Second digit: 0, 2 or 7?
Third digit: 1, 2, 4 or 5?
Fourth digit: 2, 3, 4, 8 or 9?
Last digit: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8?

Base Price: $25,961

1. $ 1 7 , 5 9 6
2. $ 1 7 , 4 8 2- MAX OUT (ARP: $17,127)

SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Karli ($1,649): Two Quarters
Valerie ($11,958): WINS $1K & SHOWCASE BERTH
Edward ($13,399): 90 + BUCK = $1.90 (I think that's the highest two-spin SCSD score this season)

Valerie's Bonus Spin...gets to the three-quarter space.

Trying to stop the day's Left-to-Right FF Sweep will be Carol Newman & an array of those Hamilton Beach appliances appear next as an IUFB (Rachel at Door #5)("Mr. Know It All" by Kelly Clarkson).

Peter: $300 (STAGE GARF)/Vida: BUCK (STAGE GARF)/CAROL: $444/Christopher: $483

DJ Milennia Chris from Marino Valley, CA has completed the FFS by default! After winning the $590 appliances, he plays Danger Price ($2.5K; "Fortune Hunter" by Edd) for a harmon/kardon/Panasonic home theater portable DVD player (Manuela), a treadmill (Manuela), the Atomic air hockey table (Amber) & six Prada accessories (Amber).

1. Table- $1,470
2. Electronics- $989
FINAL PICK- Treadmill (Accessories: $3,795)

The next-to-last participant's Erica Del Vigna & next in the PUFB department's a four-piece collection of retro wooden luggage (George & Manuela in front of CR)("Dance" by Big Sean).

Peter: $1,001/Vida: $840/Carol: $1,101/ERICA: $1,100

ARP: $1,250

Carol's playing Hi-Lo for something else that's retro- a red '67 Camaro SS (including AT & power brakes) appraised at 28 grand (Rachel at Door #3)("Turn Me On" by David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj for the car, "Stronger" by Clarkson for the groceries). Here are the items- the box of Milk-Bone Medium dog biscuits, Liquid-Plumr Penetrex Gel, Selsun blue Naturals dandruff shampoo, Gold Bond Extra-Strength Body Lotion, Heinz Vinegar & Pfizer Unisom SleepGels Maximum Strength (32-count box).

1. SleepGels: $11.49
2. Shampoo: $7.99
3. Lotion: $9.42- WIN!!!!!

I don't know if this Pricing Game's ever been won for an automobile before, but I've got a feeling all of the retro rides offered this year will be won like they were two years ago!

Biscuits: $3.79
L-P (I think her rooting section was chanting for that as her last pick): $4.69
Vinegar: $4.29

(Note: No retro music was played after that car was won just like the last time w/ Snoop Dogg.)

Video Bonus: HUGE H-L Win!

One more person's needed this morning, Joseph Hardin (who's a married firefighter), & here's your last IUFB this week- a 23 cubic-foot side-by-side refrigerator (Amber behind GPT)(Edd IUFB/grocery/SP cue used, I believe).

Peter: $2K/Vida: $2,001/JOSEPH: $1,300 (his wife wanted $1,499 instead)/Erica: $1,100

ARP: $1,399

Thanks to a correct disagreement, Joseph plays Safe Crackers (Rachel) for his/her Honda CRF-70F trail bikes (Manuela) & a pair of Olympus TG 810 digital cameras (Amber)("Blackout" by Breathe Carolina), making it a prize package worth $4,780.

Numbers in Cameras Combination: 0, 6 & 8
PICK: $680- LOCK

(Note: The think music wasn't played during this playing.)

SCSD #2:
Christopher ($590): $.60
Joseph ($1,399): 15 + 55 = $.70
Carol ($29,250): 60 + 90 = OVER

(Note: To see Peter get engaged to his girlfriend, go to priceisright.com.)

Lynne & Rob solve this puzzle for $1K towards buying their own HONEYMOON SUITE, if they haven't already. The final three married teams this week:

Lynne & Rob Hines (Henderson, NV; 27 yrs.)- Lynne's a banking sales assistant, while Rob's a printing & shipping company manager; they have a son named Jeremy
Job & Lauren Iles (Nashville; three yrs.)- Job's a high school Math teacher, while Lauren's a developmental therapist for a non-profit organization; they first met at a campus ministry

$2K T-U: Phrase

For now, Job & Lauren prove they're A PERFECT FIT together.

Ashley Jackpot Round: Husband & Wife

The middle couple begins w/ the Bankrupt next to top dollar. Second, Tim & Anne call T for trip, Free Play an E, call a $300 R & buy three A's, then they call a dud of S. Third, Lynne & Rob call for a couple C's good for $1,600, buy an I set, say two D's for nine more bills & we see...

D A _ I D / &

_ I C T _ R I A

_ E C _ _ A _

...them scoring $2,250 in extra cash w/ DAVID & VICTORIA BECKHAM.

SOLE DUD: $500 S (Tim & Anne)

LAST UNWON JACKPOT OF THE WEEK: $7,550

Current Scores:

Mystery Round: Before & After (fairly big one)

While first to go in this round of play, Tim & Anne call two T's for $700, purchase three E's, call the $600 H & buy all of the other vowels (two A's & O's & singletons of U & I), then come two $450 N's, a $600 pair of S's & three P's while on the Mystery Wedge in between FP & Lose a Turn. They cash out...

S N A P

_ _ A _ _ _ E

P O P

T H E / _ U E S T I O N

...& they "SNAP, CRACKLE, POP" THE QUESTION for a total this puzzle of $4,750...which could've been $11,750 had they taken the risk.

(Note: I think a null cycle was edited out of the beginning of this round.)

Current Scores:

L & R: $3,250/J & L: $2K/T & A: $4,750

Prize Puzzle Round: People

Lynne & Rob first insert a $1,200 T quartet, a couple E's & A's, a $450 H & a $7K N pairing, followed by the I at the start of the next-to-last word & the remainder of the vowel department (double O's & triple U's) but then the Million Dollar Wedge's left-side Bankrupt to rid them of their remaining $7,400. The Ileses follow by lighting up four S's to make the Wild Card at least temporarily theirs & we go to the board...

T H E / _ E S T

S _ U _ A

I N S T _ T _ T O _ S

A _ O U N _

...but they fall for my incorrect trap guess of THE BEST SCUBA INSTITUTIONS AROUND, so they've lost the mystery vacation to The Reeds, who will see THE BEST SCUBA INSTRUCTORS AROUND on their stay at the Sandals Grand Rivera Golf & Beach Resort (all Sandals trips this week include the Island Routes treatment) worth $5,910.

SOLE BANKRUPT: Lynne & Rob

...Job's completely way off the mark here w/ WHALE'S CAT AND TONGUE for their second missolve in this game. But they later call the L's...

_ _ C _ C L _ / _ _ _ L T

_ _ R / T _ _

...& he gets a BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO w/ about half a second left to steal the win by $340 w/ another six C-notes! The Hineses had $4.5K in their bank at that moment.

LANGUAGE LESSONS

Lisa's the early leader w/ $3,400; she's $1K ahead of Nate & twice as much over Catherine. At the end of Born in 1912 is Nate's Daily Double at the $4K plateau; he's exactly $1K behind Lisa for first place & Catherine's added a grand since the end of the first half, making her third-place score $2,400. To give him a $500 lead, the clue:

Born in Italy in 1912, he chose a papal name that honored his two immediate predecessors.

"Who is Pope John Paul I?"...exactly for $5.5K & the lead. That score's at $6,700 once we're done w/ the Language Lessons; Lisa has $5,600 & Catherine gets first dibs in Double J! w/ $3,200.

For now, she's $400 behind Catherine for second & $2,400 off of Nate for first. She's going for $3K additional & the lead after seeing this:

The first Barbary Coast Wars fought on the "Shores of Tripoli" against pirates occurred under this President.

"Who is (James) Monroe?"...NOT who we were looking for; it was Jefferson, so back to $7,400 she's headed. But another $1,600 spot, this one attached to That's Not Gneiss!, has a Picture DD & she's sitting on $8,600, whereas Nate's on $12,600 & Catherine's in front of the two w/ 14 grand. Again, for a $3K addition to Lisa's score:

This porous volcanic rock floats after the eruption of Krakatoa; banks of it covered the ocean for miles.

"What is tufa?" is...wrong; she should've thought of Lava Soap, which is made of the right thing called pumice.
