The Price is Right is rigged
The Price is Right is rigged but that's not the least of your worries. The game is filled with subliminal sex messages, answer groups shouting the winning sequence of numbers, a staged spinning wheel, even cheap shots at Canada all masterminded by the game show tyrant Bob Barker. Oh what has my once simple love for honest pricing games come to, what have you done Barker.
Now we all know the ladies on The Price are all well figured. I mean come on I would tap a good percentage of these ladies (in another time and place). So I can see why Barker could be testing out allot of these beds they give away. There is more going on in these bed giveaways then you know. Subliminal sex messages and I kid you not. One second I see a beautiful bed spin around the main stage when Rob beings to give me the breakdown of the bed. "Solid design and affordable comfort, Hooker furnishings, a great addition to any bedroom." It took me a few seconds but Rob had just told me a soild designed Hooker would be a great addition to my bedroom. I shook it off until the second time it happened. Rob was announcing a trip some contestant won and the hotel was, "The Gay Lord Palms" Seriously I couldn't belive my ears Rob was a fat tacky pervert announcer! All this surrounded by sexy game hosts.
The games themselves are an insane scamola. I watched contestant after contestant winning huge and digging way back to their grade six math class to win them. Randomly yesterday the first guy up won three vehicles, back to back in one game. Two cars and a truck. What was be doing to win them, picking between two numbers for each. "Is it $16,825 or $21,450.. you won the car" Barker did this three times, I was stunned. Then today some old bagg with a shirt proclaiming her mall walking group
goes on up there main stage with Barker playing for four items. She has to pick two of the four prices that would add up to $4000, simple. She picks two and gets a *buzzer* she is incorrect. Then she gets ones more chance. She switches two but Barker hesitates on one and points her out to the audience wher these three distinct color groups upfront are shouting answers. Only one of the groups shout answers at times or all three shout. They told her to leave it, she did and won. This is happened over and over, it even made one guy win with an exciting ending where he just made it. I feel these distint groups warring flat color shirts all with The Price logo on the front, have a map of the game answers and rotate between them yelling the correct answers to insure a win!
I don't think I need to explain the showcase showdown wheel much. That thing has had my eye as being rigged for years. I watched two fellows win a dollar ($1,000 cash), and then another win a dollar and then another dollar (that's $10,000 cash) in the same show. Now I dont know about you, but in my days of watching the Price.. that would have been three cars away from a miracle. Then today two ladies both spun a dollar.. back to back! Then had some dinky showoff. I just don't know about that wheel.
Canada is a great country, and we all love being Canadian. As Canadians we also understand living here you don't vacation here. Were a great place to live, but give the Florida, give me Hawaii. Apparently The Price finds it funny sending contestants to Canada. I mean who really wants to stay a week in Montreal. The way Rob explained it, Monteral sounded more like Moscow. Then today a trip for two to Victoria, BC. I sware I felt sorry for the winners. I went to Victoria in grade seven and spend a few hours there. I was ready to go home by noon. What are the American going to do? They sure wont care about parliament, "Hey hunny, lets go see the wax museum again"..
Then there is Bob Barker. I like the guy, really, he just has that every ones grandpa sort of feel. But peel back a few layers and Barker is a evil playboy millionaire (elderly and cruel) game show tyrant, but the guy likes animals so he is ok in my books. We all remember how he kicked the shit out of Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmour.. I mean daaamn in his own movie that's pretty serious shit. I have seen enough Adam Sandler that I thought, "ya he could take Bob Barker". Then after that I knew Barker wasn't joking around here. Not to mention he would kill before losing in golf, I have never seen him miss a put, ever.
So there you go, a few cracks in the leak in the ultimate truth to The Price is Right. Now only you can watch and make your own opinions. You must watch to understand! But for all the years it has been around, I still love it. Yupp, 31 years of giving away everything from washer/dryers to hemroid cream. How the entertainment value still holds I do not know, but its in there somewhere.
