Price is Right history

What should have been a significant moment, however, was a bit marred. Turns out the guy got his bid from someone in the audience who is a big nerd over at Golden-Road.net who had the prizes' prices memorized. While not illegal, it certainly takes the fun out of it. Apparently, there was a 45 minute tape delay between when the contestants gave their showcase bids and when they revealed the actual retail prices. The delay was for Standards and Practices to make sure their hadn't been any cheating. So the long lag time, plus the knowledge of how he got that price I think diminshed Drew's reaction when he revealed the price. In reality, Drew should have been going crazy over this as I was when I first saw it. It's a shame it turned out that way, but it's still a pretty good moment, nonetheless.
