Drew Carey Under Fire After Blowing Off Miracle "Price is Right" Win - Blog Entry

That is a very interesting comment!! I really mean that.

Here's the thing in America you are innocent until proven guilty. How do we know Terry is a cheater? In a post game interview he admitted that he knew the exact price of the cooker b/c he had seen it on the show several weeks prior (producers admit that the cooker did appear on an earlier show). In addition, the guy has been watching the show since its inception and probably knows it better than Carey. What's more neither CBS nor Price is Right producers have alleged Terry cheated and therefore denied to open an "investigation" into his "miracle" bid.

If Drew Carey's reaction was caused because he assumed Terry was a cheater than I have one more reason not to respect the guy. He has no proof Terry cheated. What's more, why not err on the side of caution and actually display some enthusiasm for an exact bid THEN if evidence shows he cheated make a comment. Don't just assume the guy's a fraud and look like a fool when it comes to light that he got as lucky as any lottery player picking the right series of winning numbers.

That said, thank you for the comment. I do welcome all feedback.

Great, great ideas!! Actually, Valorie, I did resort to employing your trick this year. Young kids could careless about seeing their toys in the actual wrapping so freeing them ahead of time leads to less stress on gift opening day. Stores should start selling those big gift wrapped boxes like they use on the Price is Right, then kids could just come downstairs on Christmas morning and lift up the boxes and get to their liberated toys.

I think it used to be $500, either way the guy who nailed it should have actually won BOTH showcases. If it was $500 and not $100 then the lady and the guy should have won BOTH showcases. Either way it was clear that Carey was clueless.

The whole thing was so BIZARRE! You are so right Libby. That lady must have been stunned! I thought if you guessed within $500 of your showcase you won both... or is it $100... either way it was a total fluke that the guy got it. But c'mon Drew should have showed something more than just a pulse... he looked like he was sedated.

Was I too harsh Valorie? Maybe "IGNORANT" would have been a better term? I just can't stand when other parents try to speak for children that aren't their own.
