I didn’t wake up this morning expecting to formulate conspiracy theories about The Price is Right, but here we are. What happened on Friday’s episode is too improbable to be anything but an elaborate rig job.
For anyone is unfamiliar with the show because they never stayed home sick from school, the last game before the climactic Showcase Showdown features contestants spinning a giant wheel covered with numbers. Whichever of the three contestants lands closest to 100 points advances to the showcase. If you land on the 100 with your first spin, you win $25,000. If you fall short of 100, you can risk your score to spin again, but you’re disqualified if you exceed 100.
