Dumb Answer of
the Week
What Happens When You Speak Before You
Think
January 13th - January 20th, 2013
Text by: Jim Williams
For this
installment of the "Dumb Answer of the Week" we go to Contestants' Row
for a couple of one-bids that will make you scratch your head courtesy
of the Friday, January 11th episode of "The Price is Right". Alright,
fellas? Let's see the first item up for bids on "The Bid Is Wrong"!
We've got
some beach equipment including chairs, coolers, towels and an umbrella.
Considering this is an item up for bids, one would assume this has to
cost a few hundred bucks.
This is
Rosa. She just got called to "Come on Down" and gets to bid first on the
beach package.
As you can
no doubt see by the image above she clearly has no idea what she was
thinking. One would be lucky to get the towels for $52 in this economy.
To be fair, I have a feeling that Rosa might have been doing her beach
gear shopping from a fine off retail outlet like...
Hey, I hear
they have a great deal on insurance markers.
But, they don't have the kind of deal that I have for you. One bad bid
in Contestants' Row deserves another. Here's the very next item up for
bids.
It's a nice
stainless steel designer watch as modeled by George Gray. Again, not a
dazzling watch on the surface, but surely worth a few hundred at least.
This is
Creagan who just got the call to Contestants' Row. What do you suppose
he'll bid?
And Drew
sheepishly wishes him good luck right after confirming his bid.
To be fair,
two of the bids for this item really made no sense at all. Allison is
the lady in the yellow position who bid $150. When was the last time an
item up for bid went for $150? The early 1970's, if at all?
Apparently, these folks thought they were on the stage version of "The
Price is Right Live" which, as I can attest, offers items in the
$75-$200 range for bidders to bid on contestant's row.
Allison & Rosa eventually got up on stage and took prizes, while Creagan
couldn't get out of Contestants' Row. But most importantly, all three
share this week's "Dumb Answer of the Week" award. And you can't put a
price tag on that.
Okay, maybe you can.
