I can’t afford/make the time to see a therapist, but I watch The Price is Right every day. Then I always want to talk about it with people, but nobody wants to.

i initially misread that as "would rather spin IN a giant wheel than go to therapy" and i was like

"YEAH? AND WHAT OF IT biggs" in solidarity with all our rodent comrades rat-salute

It hasn't been the same since that guy reverse-engineered the show's pricing formula, then proceeded to win everything right down to the exact dollar. They started introducing elements of randomness after that.

is there an article I can read about this, it sounds entertaining

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

There's a lot of articles about it, but most of them get the facts wrong, as I've come to learn just now. The contestant who perfect bid everything actually was helped by somebody else, but tried to take credit for coming up with the formula. There's a documentary you can watch for free on YouTube that gets into the details:

I'm watching it now. Let me know what you think!

I really enjoy the new-ish “Back in the Day” game, where they have the contestant guess prices of products from 1974- they even read the original ad copy!

Drew took some time to make the job his own, but he has so much more fun now than he did when he started- it’s a genuine joy to see him up there every day.

during commercial break the other contestant was talking to him and bob barker were doing a friendly chat and she was saying "i think itll be around this price" and my dad was like no way and threw some individually priced items in the showcase to her and she used his advice to beat him lol my dad is too nice but he had a blast anyways
