Pricing Game Battles (Pilot)

[captainfortune]

Come on, dolla! Make me some money!

(spin 5)

[dcytguy]

Kyle's first spin is worth...

seventy cents.  Not quite enough Kyle, you'll have to go again.

[captainfortune]

(spin 3)

[dcytguy]

Kyle's second spin stops on...

95 cents, which is $1.65 total and that's too much unfortunately Kyle -- that is 65 cents from a dollar whereas Danny is only 20 cents away.  So, no ten grand for you I'm afraid Kyle, but we'll see you soon for your second pricing game.

Danny's 80 cents is still holding up, but look out, here comes Greg!  Have at it, Mr. Palmer.

[palmer7]

(Spin 10)

Come on, dollar!

[dcytguy]

Greg, your first spin...

is also 70 cents!  So you will also have to spin again.

[palmer7]

(Spin 5)

Come on 30 or 35!

[dcytguy]

Greg's second spin comes to a stop on...

45 cents!!  That's a total of $1.15 and Greg wins the game!!!

(audience applauds)

Greg you snatched that ten grand right out of Danny's hand by beating his score by a nickel!  Great spin there, Greg!

(audience applauds)

So Greg increases his lead, but it's still anybody's game because we have three more pricing games, our Plinko Playoffs and our fabulous Showcase coming up on the second half of Pricing Game Battles!  Don't go away, we'll be right back!

(audience applauds)

(fade in with theme and applause)

We are back for more Pricing Game Battles where Greg is our top winner so far on the show.  He has about a $16,000 lead over Kyle who is currently the runner-up.  As it stands right now, it would be those two gentlemen heading to our Plinko Playoffs later in the show, but I'm sure Danny will have a thing or two to say about that before we're through.

We're about to kick off the second half of our show with another pricing game, but first Rich Fields, we need a player!

Rich Fields: "Greg Palmer, come on down, you're the next contestant on Pricing Game Battles!"

(audience applauds as Greg comes out from behind his podium and joins me on stage)

Greg, you're having yourself quite the show so far -- you won more than nine grand worth of prizes in Shopping Spree and just picked up ten thousand dollars on our Big Wheel and now, the randomizer is about to choose another pricing game for you to play.

I'm curious, tell us if you had your choice, what pricing game would you like to play next?

[palmer7]

Probably Master Key. You're at least guaranteed one prize if you get both small prizes correctly.

[dcytguy]

Well, let's see if the randomizer is in sync with your thinking.

Well, it was in sync as far as the "M" goes, but it's not Master Key.  It will, however, give you a shot at more cash and a very nice prize!

We'll see if Greg goes 2-for-2 in his pricing games after these words!

(applause with theme music)

[dcytguy]

(fade in with applause and theme music)

Welcome back to Pricing Game Battles!  I am here with Greg Palmer, our winnings leader so far on the show with just under twenty thousand dollars in cash and prizes and he is about to play his second pricing game looking to add more cash and another prize to his total.  He will hopefully do that playing "Movin' On Up!" which is a game that originally appeared on "Let's Make A Deal" which we have converted into a pricing game.

First things first though, Rich Fields, what will Greg win if he moves on up all the way!?!

Rich Fields: "It's a new speed boat!

(audience applauds)

This 20-foot deck boat is full of world-class Glastron performance features for water sport fanatics.

It comes with front, rear and dockside boarding to help get you out on the water faster.

It has a Volvo 300 horsepower Penta 5.0GXiCE V8 engine and a 56-gallon fuel tank.

It's the DX215 from Glastron!"

Oh Greg, with summer just around the corner, you could certainly have some fun in the sun with that thing!  To win it though, you must move on up this board from the bottom row to the top row by avoiding the one LOSE symbol that is concealed somewhere on each row.

In a moment, we will start off on the bottom row and I'll give you your first number choice for free.  To move on up however, we play a mini-game using these six grocery items.  Tell us about them please, Rich.

Rich Fields: "First, we have 28 fluid ounces of white chocolate mocha creamer.

Next, it's a facial massage beauty tool.

We then have 36 ounces of trail mix.

Then we have 8 ounces of instant coffee.

After that, we have a 32-ounce package of frozen turkey burgers.

And finally, it's 3.4 fluid ounces of facial moisture mist."

Thank you Rich.  Now Greg, you'll be giving me your guess as to the prices of those items and as we move on up, the range you'll have to play with will get smaller and smaller.  There are 6 items there, but you only need to get 4 of them correct to reach the top row, so you can make 2 mistakes but no more.  If you make a third mistake guessing the prices, the game ends there and you win whatever amount of money you have accumulated to that point.  Of course, if you choose any of the LOSE cards, the game is over and you don't win anything.  If you can make it all the way to the top row of only 2 selections and you choose the BOAT card, you win that beautiful boat and all the cash you've earned movin' on up.

I should also point out that we consider a total of $5,000 cash to be a "win" in this game, so keep in mind that you can quit at any time and take the money if you like, remembering that there's an additional $1,000 for your Showcase range if you win this game.

So Greg, unless you have a question, let's play!  We start on the bottom row of 6 numbers, of which five have cash values and one of them says LOSE.  Avoid the lose and we play on.  Which number would you like to start with?

[palmer7]

Number 5.

[dcytguy]

Greg starts it off with number 5 on the bottom row.  What's behind number 5!?!

(bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

(Losing Horns)

Wow, what rare bad luck there Greg, I'm so sorry about that.  Let's look at the rest of the board please.

Well, the bad news is you've won nothing in this game Greg, but the good news is you're still the leader and in the best shape to this point.  It's not a certainty that we'll see you later on for our Plinko Playoffs, but I'd be surprised if we don't.

Let's give it up for Greg Palmer, folks!

(audience applauds as Greg returns to his podium)

Greg's luck certainly changed between his two pricing games, but maybe it's like a roller coaster and he'll be on his way back up later in the show.

So our scoreboard remains the same, giving our other two contestants hope of perhaps taking over the lead.  Speaking of those two, who's up next, Rich?

Rich Fields: "Kyle Simmons, come on down!  You're the next contestant on Pricing Game Battles!"

(audience applauds as Kyle descends to the main stage and walks over next to me)

Kyle, welcome back for your second pricing game.  Let's hope your luck is better than Greg's was just now.  You are currently our runner-up with $3,213 in prizes that you won earlier playing Easy as 1-2-3.  I don't know what the randomizer has in store for you, but if you can pick up around sixteen grand worth of prizes right now, you'll not only take over the lead, but you'll clinch one of those two Plinko Playoff spots.

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Greg -- if you had your choice right now, which pricing game would you like to play?

[captainfortune]

I for some reason like Flip Flop. Maybe it'll pop up.
