Drew called Rich Fields “the voice of The Price is Right” upon his arrival on stage. After the Perfumes up for bids were revealed, the host called every contestant by name before asking each of them for a bid. The large dollar bill in Punch A Bunch featured an image of Drew in a serious pose. James’ first prize slip in Punch A Bunch was $1000, followed by $500, $250, and $1000. “Come on, Honda!” said Drew as he searched for the front of the automobile in Money Game. Jeremy pulled the last two digits himself upon Drew’s request. Jennifer celebrated her 30th year of life on today’s show. Drew moved his arms around along with Lafaye upon her arrival on stage.

Joyce came on down, walked back up, and came on down again as one of today’s first four contestants. “Standing ovation from the crowd”, said Drew after Monika won Squeeze Play after great shouts of “9” by members of the audience. The loss of the commercial break between Pricing Game #1 and Pricing Game #2 continues, giving viewers today no good time to let the moment of the “standing ovation” settle in their minds. “That was easy, especially after playing this for a while”, said Drew after revealing the first item in It’s In the Bag. “Welcome back to the greatest game show in the word, The Price is Right”, said Drew after the first commercial break. “Yes, I don’t believe it! Good for you!” Drew reacted after Aaron won Side By Side before the host came close to hitting the camera with his hand. “Big number, big number, eighty-five, eighty-five, stop!” Joyce said in the style of many Press Your Luck contestants as the Big Wheel was coming to a stop at 30 cents in Showcase Showdown #1. Monika and Drew danced after her first spin and second spin, which was a Bonus Spin. After speaking with Phyllis, Drew was very quick to ask Rich Fields to introduce the prizes in One Wrong Price. “Why didn’t I pick the TV?” Phyllis asked after choosing the Sofa. Drew referred to the Lobster Tennis Ball Machine as the “potential neighbor-annoying-[tennis]-machine” while removing the actual retail price slip from his envelope. “Go see your car there, buddy”, Drew told Jose after winning Bonus Game. Drew left the Magic Number at 516 after demonstrating Magic #.

Our journey into the show with an Earth Day theme begins with an unusual camera shot of the audience from above. Brooke of Las Vegas, Nevada got to play the Range Game, but first Drew had to introduce a guest somewhere in hiding. Ed Begley, Jr. came from beyond the Turntable before Drew could introduce a prize his guest would enjoy: an Electric Car. The reveal of the automobile’s actual price did not seem exciting or suspenseful due to the excited audience and Drew’s quickness. “Yeah, baby!” said Antonio, a mechanic of 25 years for “the Goodyear Blimp”, after coming to Drew’s side beside the Big Doors concealing Most Expensive, which Drew acknowledged as “one of the oldest” games on the show. “The act-u-el retail preece (actual retail price)”, said Drew before Michael arrived on stage for Bonkers, which he played with numerous combinations in a risky strategy before winning at the very last second. Drew did not reveal the price of Michael’s Trip to Austria. Showcase Showdown #2 featured the return of the combined camera shots of the contestant in a triangle and the Big Wheel spinning, but the triangle with Michael did not appear over a black background, but over a wide shot of the Big Wheel. “Could I pay my taxes with this?” Anna asked Drew about the $10,000 prize in Grand Game before winning it all. Whitney shouted one dollar for the Laptop Computer presented as the last Item Up for Bids for today’s show. “Finally”, said Drew after Whitney arrived on stage and revealed the day of taping to be her 32nd birthday. Corinne and Anna both scored $1.00 in Showcase Showdown #2 and won $1000. Both contestants appeared in triangles during their Spinoff. Corrine scored 25 cents before Anna scored 10 cents. Music once again greeted viewers to the Showcase portion of the show. Today’s Showcase featured a symbolic donation (not included in Corinne’s bid) to the World Wildlife Fund, the current official holders of the abbreviation WWF, Ed Begley, Jr., and three electrical means of transportation. We end today’s show with a camera shot that includes Drew speaking to Ed beside Michael’s Toyota Prius.
