Remember, the show gets to pick the contestants. I'm sure showmanship and not breaking the bank get weighted when they decide who gets to contestants' row

| Post subject: | The Price is Right |
Ok, so I catch some of The Price is Right... I start noticing a weird trend in the guess-the-price-to-play-the-game part. Come on down! Everyone know how to play? Guess a dollar amount that is closest to the item without going over the actual price. One strategy that people use, is to guess $1 over someone else. Typically(?) when another player beats you to guessing a dollar amount. Someone guesses $650, you guess $651. You take that player out of the running. Well, at least 3 times in 2 shows, I see when one player guessed $650 another player guessed $649. $649? You automatically lose when you do this. I suppose it could be a strategy to just stay on the show without playing... ? I googled to see if this was a 'thing' that people are doing to be funny. But, I didn't find anything. My wife says that this happens all the time... Do that many people accidentally guess the wrong way? Anyone else see this? |

I would suggest that, apart from the diversonary value of this question, you should find more important things to worry (or think) about. |

You only automatically lose if the price isn't $649. |

I've planted plenty of seeds and I'm just watching it grow... Since I don't have any paint drying. No, I really do not have anything better to talk about. |

Just remember, half the people in the world are below average. And while I haven't watched that show since college, I remember thinking that most of those below average people seemed to make their way to contestant's row... Apparently I don't have anything better to do either, and I'm at the office! |
