5 Painful ShowCase Overbids in The Price is Right History PT 1! 

Aboit a year prior they had a woman who started with $23000 then bid.$24000. She should have stuck with $23000 because that is the thousandth that the price revealed but she was over. December 27, 2007 was the day that happened. It was a double overbid as her opponent bid $50000. And about 1.5 years prior there was a young student Dennis and a military officer Jeffrey. Dennis did the right thing to listen as he wss originally going for $20 grand as the price. $15500 would have been best instead of $15750 given that with the $15750 bid he was over by $95 only!!! The audience had a shouting reaction to that too

He's not allowed.

@@Jo65747 no shit.

Almost like the Lincoln Wipeout where she had all numbers wrong and 1 person said "Give it to her"

@@cutemimi25 I don't recall that, but it was the only time no number was right the first time on one away.

@@JL-sm6cg Actually the 2nd time, there was an older playing which sadly isn't on RU-vid.

And none more painful than that (unless both contestants overbid by a dollar).

That actually happened a couple of times during the bob barker era.

Yeah. Being over by a single buck is the worst.

just like family feud 199 ponts on fast money.

After 30+ years hosting, that would have been easy to forget that it had happened. There was an instance in the first season 72/73 of someone having a perfect bid during the showcase according to Drew Carey. So far, I don't think anyone has uploaded or been able to find that clip or episode.

October 2004 was the last time there was a sucky $1 overbid.

Unlike Drew, Bob Barker, until his later years, never made an expression about overbids. He just said, "You are over" and that was that. On at least two occasions, Bob had contestants overbid by $1 and his expression was neutral each time.

@John Williamson That episode did air on GSN, so it did not have a fur coat in it.

@carltoncoleman454 Drew was incorrect. Nobody ever had a perfect Showcase Showdown bid until Terry did it in 2008.

On the other hand, she could've thrown in the $500 and won both showcases.

@@interstate3013 yep. that's what i would have did.

For those who have, Jennifer was over by $3. (SPOILER WARNING)

And by ONE DOLLAR?

@@The_Ideonselo No words. Just PURE SHOCK AND SPEECHLESSNESS.

5:02 was how we all felt in the crowd (was the first episode taped that day) and resembled my facial expression when I saw the taxes I’d have to pay on my showcase and prize winnings later on. We all had a laugh after and she said she dodged tax dollar hell lol

Not as painful as 5:26

$23 thousand... (yes... 😁) ...2 hundred... (c'mon... 😁) ...ninety... (C'MON...!!! 😃) *...one.* (NOOOOOOOOOOO...!!!! 😫😭)

Yes. That - exactly!! Building suspense, yes - but ouch!!

Yes he did---Early in the show's history, someone bid $2200 on their showcase and that was the price. Zeros flashed across the bidder's podium.

@@scottstacey7447 it wasn't Bob. It was Dennis James.

@@shoredude2 No---It was Bob Barker--I remember that the bid was $2200 and they flashed "00000000"'s across the board. This happened in the first season.

In the Terry Kniess episode, Drew (who normally is extremely optimistic and cheerful when someone wins) was obviously pissed off at the perfect bud and clearly suspected something was amiss.

@@Char1ieHust1eCIN because they stopped production for almost an hour to investigate it, that took the fun out of it

Her name was melissa

October 19th 2004

@@daleadams8551 no. There was one in 1974.

@@devonbrown6257 Oh okay.

October 4th 2010.

Yeah, but the one doller overbid was even more heartbreaking, she was very close.

@@zaidarodriguez8455 yep

That would be that Lloyd won 2 cars and over $57K in prizes, right?

No actually Kelsey would win.

@@trevorpanno516 No, she was over by $2, so she didn't win.

Had Nikita switched the 7 and 5 to make it $28,570, she would have won both showcases.

What would you have done if you had the $1 or $2 over bids? 😂

@@Char1ieHust1eCIN same as above

@@TheRenard10 Only much worse, I bet.

RETIRED!

DEAD!

Actually, his name was Lloyd.

I thought Lloyd bid well.

but the game lit up the win lamp, and Bob was like "It's too late, we messed up, you win, despite going over by one cent!"

There were two more people who lost by $.01@@Maelael
