This Friday marks two years since Net Game Central first opened for business, so I have decided to mark the occasion with a special episode of The Price Is Right. This will be a half hour episode; therefore, I will need six contestants. So sign up here if interested.

All deadlines are 48 hours, and away we go.
(1973 CBS Special Presentation bumper)
(Barker era MDS intro music)
George: Tonight, from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's the two year anniversary of Net Game Central!
Greg Palmer, come on down!
Jay Jianoran, come on down!
Bill Skinner, come on down!
Matt Riggenberg, come on down!
You are the first four contestants as we celebrate Net Game Central's two year anniversary on The Price Is Right! (1972 main theme) And here's the star of The Price Is Right, Mark Liotta! (I enter from door number two to a tremendous applause from the audience. Rachel hands me the microphone; I bow)
Me: Welcome to The Price Is Right! (audience cheers) I thank you very much. (Theme fades out) Yes, it's been two years now that we've been around on Net Game Central and so the folks here at CBS put their heads together and decided "Why not do a special show to honor the anniversary of the site?". So here we are today, and I hope we have many more successful years down the line. All right, I think it's time we got things started here, so let's see the first item up for bids please!
George: it's a trip to the Bahamas! You and a guest will fly round trip from Los Angeles to the Bahamas for a six night stay in a waterside state room at the Pelican Bay Grand Bahama Island. Daily breakfast is included along with a rental car and $1,000 in spending money.
Me: And that trip goes to whoever bids closest to the actual retail price without going over. As you know, your bids must be in dollars because we round off our retail prices to the nearest dollar. Greg, you're up to bat first.
Bidding order: Greg, Jay, Bill, Matt

$6,001 for Matt. (ding) And the actual retail price of that trip to the Bahamas is.............$7,134 and Matt wins. Come on up here please, Matt. (Matt joins me on stage) Now Matt comes to us from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Never been there myself, but I'm sure it's a fine town. Now Matt, I want you to picture the reaction that your friends and family in Council Bluffs might have if you went back there in that!
(Door number one opens)
George: A new car! (TP car sting 1)
Me: Now winning a car would certainly be nice. But for some people, one simply isn't enough. For that reason, I'm giving you a chance to win this!
(Door number two opens)
George: Another new car! (TP car sting 2)
Me: Well, double the cars means double the fun and double the excitement. But I bet your excitement level's going to go up even more when you find out that you can win this!
George: Another new car! (TP car sting 3)
Me: Matt, as you can probably tell by what has just been said, you're going to be playing Triple Play. Now in this game, you can't win one car out of three or even two out of three. You must win all three cars, and George is going to tell you about the first car right now.
George: It's a 2016 Honda Accord Sedan. Comes with standard equipment plus AM/FM radio, CD player, automatic transmission and V6 engine. The Honda Accord Sedan.
Me: That is a fine car and I'd love to send you back to Council Bluffs in it. But keep in mind that even one mistake along the way means you win nothing. So to complete the first part of this triple play, I need you to tell me which of the following two prices is closest to the actual retail price without going over.
$27,453
$30,720

He says $27,453 and I bet that he's right. (I remove the $27,453 tag and find a YES) And indeed he is. (ding ding ding) Actual price: $29,284. On we go to the next car, tell us about it please George!
George: The 2016 Audi A4 comes with standard equipment plus AM/FM radio, paint sealant and California emission. The Audi A4.
Me: That Audi A4 would go great with the Honda. Now here are three choices for your consideration.
$33,895
$34,523
$36,902
Which of those three do you believe is closest to the actual retail price without going over?

He says $36,902 and I hope he's right. (I remove the $36,902 tag and find a NO) But he's not. (Buzzer, followed by losing horns) Actual price: $36,780. Well Matt, that's the end of the line for Triple Play. (1972 main theme) But you might be back in the showcase later on and we will have another pricing game ready to go after this. (Fade to commercial)

Billy says $650. (ding) Greg says $860. (ding) Jay says $750. (ding) And Bill says $861. (ding) (I begin to pull out the price card then stop) We haven't gotten to the second pricing game yet, and this is starting to become the one-up show. Actual retail price: $1,830. Get on up here, Bill. (Bill joins me on the stage beside the Giant price tag) Bill, I think you're going to be a very happy camper when George tells you what you can win.
(Giant Price tag lifts up)
George: Bill, you have a chance to win $50,000 in cash!
Me: We're not fooling around here, Bill. $50,000 in cold hard cash. Yours if you are able to win the Grand Game. Move that thing down to $5, please. (Slide moves down to $5) And let's see the target price. (Target price slide reveals itself) $4.90. All you have to do is pick the four products out of the six we have that are less than $4.90. Two of the products cost more than that, so you have to be careful. Let's find out from George about these items.
George: First, let Hungry Jack Buttermilk Pancake Mix make a starring role in your next morning meal. Satisfying for the entire family, a tall stack of Hungry Jack pancakes is a delicious way to start your day, and it's a good source of calcium and six vitamins plus iron. Next, magically delicious Lucky Charms Cereal features frosted toasted oats and colored marshmallows that both kids and adults love. Kellogg's S'mores Pop-Tarts are a fun and simple way to enjoy the popular camping treat. They're a good source of eight essential vitamins and minerals and contain zero trans fat. Try this delicious and easy option for breakfast. SlimFast Advanced Nutritional Meal Replacement Shakes are ideal for people trying to limit their calorie intake. They will take away your hunger and provide the nourishment you need. Enjoy a delicious low calorie snack at anytime of the day with Quaker chewy granola bars. Each bar is kosher and contains 8 grams of whole grains. Finally, dive into a bowlful of hot, delicious Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal to start your day off right. There they are, Mark.
Me: Bill, which of those six do you think is less than $4.90?
