When you go on The Price is Right and make it all the way to the Showcase, you don't expect to be bidding on a Porsche Boxster. So, when Jeffery, a contestant on yesterday's episode, got a chance to make his bid, he went for it, giving an amazingly knowledgeable-sounding bid of $58,500.
As you can see in the clip below, the results didn't exactly go in his favor. But it's not like he lost the Porsche by wildly over- or under-bidding; he was right about the price. He just wasn't right enough:
Note a couple of things about the video: The producers, knowing how heartbreaking the loss was, allowed everyone, including the audience, to react before carting him off and playing the upbeat music for the winner. The reaction of Jeffery's opponent, Joshua, is also telling, as he's so disheartened over Jeffery's loss that he doesn't even realize that he won his showcase.
Also credit Drew Carey for building some anticipation and drama. Looks like they guy's becoming a bona-fide game show host before our very eyes, isn't he?
