Drew Carey was overjoyed as a contestant on The Price Is Right made a perfect bid on the Showcase. The final challenge on the show involves two contestants bidding on a package of prizes, with the closest bid without going over winning the loot. Contestants rarely get it right, with only a 2 percent success rate in recent seasons.
Canadian contestant Patrice Masse made a bid of $39,500 for a trip/car combo, missing the actual value by just one dollar. Host Drew Carey was thrilled by the accuracy of the bid, declaring it the best in Price Is Right history. This moment brought back memories of a past incident in 2008 when a contestant guessed the exact amount, leading to speculation of help from the audience.
Carey made it clear that Masse’s win was achieved without any outside assistance, emphasizing the contestant’s incredible achievement. The sheer joy on Masse’s face as he realized his success was matched by the delight radiating from Carey.
The excitement and energy in the room were palpable as the perfect bid unfolded on the show. This rare moment of accuracy in the Showcase brought a sense of thrill and satisfaction to both the contestant and the host. It was a moment to remember in the history of The Price Is Right, showcasing the thrill of competition and the joy of success on a popular game show.
