With the final days of the Price coming soon, I've decided to come up with some extra fun PIR games to be played on the last showing. These new-and-exciting pricing games will possibly cast a shadow on Bob's absence and keep viewers loyal.
# 954- 52 Pickup.
In the final moments of The Price is Right, a contestant is asked to find the five digits of their "brand new car" in a deck of cards. To complicate things Bob throws the deck of cards all over the stage and laughs as the contestant frantically tries to find the correct numbers within sixty seconds.
# 955- The Name Game.
In order to win a completely new kitchen (appliances, tiles, countertops and the lot) contestant Mary O'Shari is asked to pick randomly six letters. Remembering her time as a viewer of Wheel of Fortune* she chooses R-L-S-T-N-E**. Bob then gives her the price of a new Chevelot Cobalt, 16,725 in U.S. dollars. Mary is then instructed to go into the name tag filled audience and pick people with first names starting with R, L, ect. She then ends up with 1 Nancy- 2 Ryan's, 1 Robert, 3 Ricardo's- 5 Sara's, 1 Susan, 1 Starlett- 2 Evans- 3 Toms, 1 Tamika, 1 Thomson. These add up to create 16,725 and she wins the car. While this new game did promote audience involvement, it took far too long and only one person won any prizes, well beside the Elvis collector coins for those in contestant row.
# 956- The Marionette.
One contestant is told to go completely limp, another is told to control the first contestant through huge strings and cables attached to pulleys on the ceiling. The second contestant then manipulates the first on a shopping spree, any prizes put in a bin are split between contestants.***
# 957 The Carousel.
Prizes are set on various stages of the carousel in between animals, contestants must jump on and off in sixty seconds with whatever prizes they can grab. Contestants must sign waivers for fatality possibilities.
As always, stay tuned.
*I'm sorry becoming involved in other game shows is not normally PIR Blog style, but to illustrate a point.
** I've always been confused by these letter, only because it's really darn close to R.L. Stine, you know that adolescent horror author.
*** I realize after writing this that this wouldn't work at all, but might look funny.

I think The Marionette would work beautifully!!! I think that's the best idea I've read so far from you PIR bloggers.
Further thoughts have come to me and I would think a possible way of halting cheaters (which was my main concern with A controlling B) would be some sort of debilitating taser or compound drug. Leaving B at the will of A completely.
Well, duh. I thought that was implied.
kristin, and I know this is shocking, but sometimes I don't think this all through.
