Me: I thank you very much, George. Bill Skinner was the only winner in the second half, but he absolutely nailed Grocery Game, beating that in one choice. So he's going last, and Matt, you will go first. (Matt spins the wheel) Contestant closest to one dollar without going over gets to the showcase. get a dollar exactly, you'll get $10,000 and a bonus spin. And Matt, I think you have...........

55

He is going to spin again. (Matt spins) 55 cents is what he got on spin one. And spin two will add............

30 cents, that's what it looks like. Spin or stay, mister McDee?

[billmcdee]

I'll go again.

[GameShowNetwork]

Very well. (Bill spins) Now if he goes over, Bill Skinner, then you will be in the showcase by default. And Bill McDee, this spin is looking mighty fine........

60

Hey, that's more than fine! 90 cents total. (Ding) Now Bill Skinner will take his turn. (Bill S spins) And for Bill Skinner, I predict that you will......have to take another spin, I think.

Yes you do. 25 cents isn't enough. (Bill S spins again) And what do we have for Skinner this time? (Wheel slows down)

40

Another 40 cents. Skinner, have fun with that home gym. (Cue Dig We Must) Bill McDee is our winner. You will be in the showcase immediately following this! (Fade to commercial)

[Bill Skinner]

Well, that was fun.

I must admit that I was originally going to say five in my first purchase, but now realized that I would've been over on that one. Glad I went with four!

Good luck in the Showcase, fellow Bill and Immanuel!

(Back to the studio)
The top winner in our showcase tonight is Immanuel. The runner up is Bill McDee. We'll show each of you a showcase of spectacular prizes to bid on, and whoever bids closest to the actual retail price of their own showcase wins it. But if you're the winner, and you're $250 or less away from the retail price of your own showcase, you will win both showcases! Immanuel, Bill, here is showcase number one!
George: This showcase contains prizes revealed as we go through the history of The Price Is Right. Back in 1972, the very first item up for bids that we offered was a fur coat. And while we don't offer those kinds of prizes anymore, we do still offer some nice goodies such as a computer package. This 21 and a half inch all in one desktop computer from Hewlett-Packard comes with eight gigabytes of RAM, a one terabyte hard drive and 3D printer. Another prize we've offered over our long history is something that a lot of families like to do after dinner, which is unwind in their new living room. This living room group from carolinachair.com comes with Chenille sofa and ottoman, floor lamps and two novels. Back in 1972, the first car that was offered was a Chevrolet Vega. While we still have cars, certain models have been discontinued as time has gone by. But Janice, Rachel and Manuela have a car that we'd love to give away, which is a brand new Mercedes! (audience cheers) The 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43 4MATIC Coupe comes with standard features plus three liter engine, nine speed automatic transmission, all wheel drive, LED intelligent light system, wireless charging, 19 inch 5 spoke wheels, performance exhaust, drive unit, illuminated star, wheel locking bolts, star kit, first aid kit, multimedia package, ventilated front seats, paint sealant and fabric protectant. And this showcase containing prizes revealed as we go through Price Is Right's long and rich history can be yours if the price is right!
Me: Immanuel, would you like to bid or pass?

[babytims]

Since I already have a car, I’ll be nice and pass this one to Bill

[GameShowNetwork]

Bill, Immanuel has passed you this first showcase. What do you bid on it?

[billmcdee]

That's very kind!

I'm going to say $66,000.

[GameShowNetwork]

Bill bids $66,000. (ding) Immanuel, here comes your showcase!
George: Immanuel, your showcase contains prizes revealed as our models explore the Price Is Right jungle. The oldest of the bunch, Janice, has the most experience with searches so she looks high and low for something that everyone can enjoy and finds pay dirt with a new kitchen island! From Homary, this 72 inch kitchen island brings style and functionality to your kitchen space. The large tabletop with a marble pattern veneered provides an open work area/display shelf that adds exquisite modern appeal to your dining room. Three doors and three drawers offer plentiful concealed space for storing your kitchen needs. Rachel also has plenty of experience with hunts, so her search leads her to find something every woman wants, a set of designer shoes. From Koio, this set of shoes includes four pairs of sneakers and two boots. Finally, Amber and Manuela team up together to search for the final prize, and they find a pair of tickets high up in a tree branch. But they're not just any tickets. They're plane tickets for a trip to Monte Carlo! You and a guest will fly round trip from Los Angeles to Monte Carlo for a six night stay at the Fairmont Monte Carlo. Free Wi-Fi, dining and spa treatments are included, along with $1000 in spending money for use at the fine casinos of Monte Carlo. And this showcase, in which our tired models have retreated to their homes for a well earned rest, can be yours if the price is right!
Me: Immanuel, what do you bid on that fine looking showcase?
