Hey, I'm John!
My sister and I went to The Price is Right.
And she made me wear a funny shirt.
Because that's what older sisters do.

My sister. She has lots of ideas. Many of them involve making me look silly.
Older sisters have a lifetime of experience convincing their younger brothers to do things. This isn't even the worst example.
It's probably best to not try to understand why. Just let it be what it is.
She thinks that we're both crazy. Which is probably true.
Nope.
Try your best not to do what your older sister tells you to do. Even though we both know you probably will anyway.
It was amazing! I'd definitely recommend it to everyone.
This is the guy who writes the nametags. He ran out of room the first time so had to make a second attempt.
This is the producer who decides who gets selected to "Come on down!" Hint: Be energetic and interesting when speaking with him!
The studio is so loud so you don't actually hear it. So they question should be "what was it like when you saw them flash the big sign with your name on it?".
Not at all. Though I did notice that they sat most of the young, attractive people in the first few rows. Sadly, they sat me in the back.
All that ran through my head was "don't make a dumb bid, don't make a dumb bid."
The audience just screams. Have you ever had 300 people screaming at you at once?
My only thought was "please don't be the Check Game."
The Check Game.
There was a guy in the audience who looked a bit like an accountant. I figured he knows the price of things and is good at math. So I went with the number he was yelling.
Technically, yes. But the real winner was probably the accountant.
Super fun. But you don't get to enjoy it much because you're worried you're going to miss giving a shoutout to someone important.
Well, they put my sister in the car so I pretty much had to at that point.
I couldn't find the accountant in the audience so I had to go with my own instinct. That was a bad strategy.
A little bit but also super happy for the other contestant. She was very excited and emotional after winning which was great to see.
Of course! It's a great experience even if you don't get picked. (But even more fun if you do!)
This is the large sign they hold up so you know your name's been called to "Come on down!"
The large check that I wrote my number on during the game. It even has Drew Carey's signature!
The small card with the "actual retail price" that Drew reads off of during the showcase showdown.
10) It takes 3 to 4 hours waiting in line to get into the show. It goes by quick though and they show highlights of past episodes and even have food available.
9) The producer only talks to each person for a few seconds to decide who should be selected. So make the most of it!
8) When you get inside the studio they are strategic about where they seat you. They want the people chosen for contestant's row coming from all area of the audience.
7) It's hard to hear other people's bids on contestant's row which is why people often ask "what was his/her bid?"
6) When looking to the audience for help with your bid, it's like a wall of sound smacking you in the face.
5) Drew Carey is really funny both on air and during the commecial breaks.
4) The showcase showdown wheel is smooth as butter.
3) All the contestant's had a really good time even if they didn't win. You get to know them better when filling out paperwork right after the show.
2) You have to wait until after the air date to receive your prizes.
1) You have to wait about three months from the taping date to the air date and not tell anyone what happened!
