Upset Fans From Latest Price Is Right Episode
On January 15, 2025, the contestant of the episode was getting excited about his winnings on the game show. He was playing to win a brand-new SUV and a huge amount of money. The contestant played the game One Away for his chance to win the car. Once he rolled an amount the contestant had to guess if the number was higher or lower than the number hidden on the gameboard. The amount he was playing for started at $44,161 and ended up being the amount of $35,270.
Drew asked for the first number to be revealed, and it was correct, at this time Carey had the contestant get on one knee and ask the sound effects lady if he had gotten the rest of the numbers correct. After a dramatic silence, the car horn buzzed and the contestant knew he had won.
In shock, he hugged Carey and picked him up spinning him around like a rag doll. This made fans furious, going to Reddit with their thoughts. They shared how they thought the celebration was “cringe” and how it looked “painful” for Drew Carey.
