"The Price is Right"- 41TH SEASON PREMIERE

Good luck on topping their previous SP to this morning's First Four- Jacquelyn Kennedy, Logan Brubaker, Megan Hartshorne & Navy member Puett Wilcox IV (just before the opening logo, we see various related images from various Pricing Games & The Big Wheel). The first official IUFB of the season is a quartet of B&G men's watches (ceiling)(IUFB/truck cue variant).

Jacquelyn: $595/Logan: $600/Megan: $700/Puett: $701

Tomahawk Control System Chief Puett out of San Diego wins the $895 watches by default & plays Lucky $even for...a Chevrolet Camaro Convertible (Std., AT, Tire/Wheel, Prot)(Manuela)(new car cue from last season; I would've used Edd Kalehoff's "The Bean Stalker"). He starts off by thinking this Camaro's at least $33K...

$ 3 2 , _ _ _

...well, he's on his way. Two 5's later...

$ 3 2 , 7 2 _

...he's just hangin' in there...until he ZONKS OUT OF THE GAME BY GUESSING ZERO AS THE LAST DIGIT.

$ 3 2 , 7 2 8

I wonder if Harold Perras' smarter than him in The Bob Barker Studio; in the meantime, the second IUFB's an iPad 3G (Rachel & David in front of CR; it's showing a picture of their upcoming child).

Jacquelyn: $499/Logan: $751/Megan: $752/HAROLD: $750

W/ that $668 iPad, Zumba instructor Jacquelyn's playing Pl!nko.
