Wait a Minute — Was the Wheel Rigged? History Is Made on ‘The Price Is Right’

Sep 22, 2017  •  Post A Comment

The venerable TV game show “The Price Is Right,” hosted by Drew Carey, announced that it made history on today’s broadcast with a record-breaking showcase showdown in which a total of $80,000 was awarded — the most money ever given out on the Wheel.

“In honor of Drew Carey’s 10th anniversary hosting, contestants who spun $1 on the Wheel received a $10,000 bonus instead of the usual $1,000,” the show announced in a promotional blurb posted along with the clip. “If they spun another $1, they received an additional $25,000. Today, after an amazing five $1 spins on the Wheel, a total of $80,000 was awarded.”

  1. It was rigged for ratings.

  2. Yes it was rigged, The wheel slowed down in a way that I’ve never seen it slow down before. There needs to be a Congressional investigation (lol). But it was fun to see those three contestants win more money.

  3. Yes the big wheel is riged

  4. I knew for a while,he stands in the same place and leans forward to be newtrul, leans back to slow down, watch all episodes Bob and Drew stands in the same place, wish I could be on the show. I’m a nobody. But I wish Wayne Watson from Greenacres,FL. 5613257194. Be on show,

  5. Of course the game is rigged……from the selection of contestants to Drew pulling the so called prize cost out of his pocket, which by the way no one sees, to the wheel then the final give away….it’s obvious.

  6. I believe that after seeing people behind other games waving their hands etc.,that there is probably a person applying a braking mechanism to the wheels axel.

    • It is likely that a computerized braking-system is employed in the wheel’s mechanism, to give certain contestants a better chance at hitting 90 or 95. That happens too often to be coincidental. Where there is a will there is a way!

  7. On yesterday’s show, during the Big Wheel spin, after a contestant’s first spin, she moved over to stand at Drew’s right. While the wheel was still spinning, Drew asked her to move/stand on his left. Granted I am a card-carrying Doubting Thomas, but THAT REALLY was quite suspicious to me! I’ve NEVER seen THAT happen before!!!!! No matter who was hosting!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. I dont believe its rigged because half of the people .that wins cant afford the taxes to pay to get there winnings anyway out of California. The taxes are extremely high in Cali and people arent prepared for that and then comes the paying of getting back to there home state with the prizes.

  9. That show was definitely rigged. I think it was disgraceful because now I don’t believe it is a game of chance.

  10. Look up quiz show scandal for why The Price is Right wouldn’t do this. Come on people.

  11. The wheel is rigged, it actually is not very hard to do.

  12. I believe that the wheel is rigged because if a contestant does not win their game, they are usually the one who goes to the showcase. I have watched the Price is Right for a long time. What happened today is that all three contestants got $.95 cents on the wheel, two of them in two spins. The probability of that happening is very low. The wheel is rigged.

  13. Having watched this show for years and years, I am more convinced than ever it has become a rigged show! It is painfully obvious that the show has entered the race game and that blacks are favored in many of the shows. It’s not even subtle. It’s sickening that such a thing as race perpetrated by the liberal media has to be a part of enjoyment of a typical game show~

    • I could not agree with you more it is definitely racially motivated now there’s 10 people in the audience and there’s always at least one to two black contestants in contestants row mathematically not possible it’s every single show in 90% of the time there’s at least one person that winds up in the showcase because the wheel is also rigged

  14. Why can’t Drey Cary keep quiet when contestants spin the wheel. IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S CHEATING. KEEP QUIET WHEN THE CONTESTANTS SPIN THE WHEEL!!!

  15. Yes you can tell the wheel slows down a little to quick.

  16. The Price Is Right doesn’t have to be fair and un-rigged. They just can’t get caught. They’ve had people who have worked on the show for decades, and it’s very possible the wheel is controlled, and it is a closely guarded secret. The Quiz Show scandals were sloppy, and multiple contestants (!!!) were made aware that the show was rigged. I don’t believe TPIR would *ever* let contestants know, or even other people who work on the show. Simply the guys at the top and whoever is controlling the wheel.

  17. Is it really that hard to research a subject before spreading fake news??? A lot of people just start posting their immediate thoughts, without any care of finding the truth first……This is a huge problem for the future of mankind for God’s sake!!!! If you learn the law, and their posted rules, you will understand that the Price is Right admits to altering the amount contestants can win…..You will also find out that as long as it does not affect any of the other players outcome, they state they “have the right to alter games in a way that allows the contestant to win MORE, but never LESS…..Nor can it affect any other outcome of the game……EXAMPLE: Make all 3 spins land on $1.00……..That’s EQUAL for each, & its equal to, or MORE than they would have won without the ” help” of the motorized wheel(obviously motorized since it spins by itself certain times during the show……). THEN, they let the spin-off determine who goes to the showcase……totally legal & in the rule book!! No favorite contestant! No cheating ANYONE!!! NO CONSPIRACY!! No need to spread FAKE NEWS to millions of others!!!! Its the LAW they can’t CHEAT, or influence any part of the show UNLESS it is to give away MORE!!!!! They did it again today, obvious, since I can tell u within 2 spaces of where the wheel will stop as soon as is see how hard the wheel is spun…….Not today!! It went 8-9 spaces extra, very noticable, stopped on 1.00………I told my mom, “oh wow, watch all 3 get 1.00!!! Funny, 3rd contestant got .45……sure enough, .55 came next ……But it should have stopped closer to the 15 or 80..
    …L O L…..Nope, a little nudge, & it went right to the 55 & slammed to a stop….
    ..

  18. I’ve noticed the blatant pairing of ethnic/racial. If you look at the breakdown of data in the US, TPIS right it correctly in the past of how many of each race were on the show. Now it is in our faces. Things have become uncomfortable even on this show. It is so noticeable at the Showdown of the last two contestants each day.

    The games that are digital with no cue cards to show in print the actual price are always suspect & I wonder if that has to do with too many contestants losing the games that have the printed answers for the audience to actually see that this is a way to give a winner in those cases.

    Why doesn’t Drew show the bid card after each bid? All he has to do is flip it over. I guess this was why Bob Barker was such a showman? But I would hate to think the show was not rigged when he was the host.

    Nowadays prizes of the same value and exact description are $8,000 on one show & $12,000 on another. I truly believe they are lying. It has lessened the game.

    The Spinoff part of the show: Look at the old Match Game with Gene Rayburn when they spinned a wheel to see which panel member would answer the bonus question. Look at old old videos of early Price is Right Spin the Wheel.

    The Rat Race Game: That has to be electronically/digitally controlled otherwise they would have wind up rats. This show is no longer very entertaining and it’s a shame. People feel it and that’s because the show isn’t honest.

    Punch A Bunch: Never, ever shows audience where the $25,000 prize was located….if it was ever in the slot at all…

    Carey’s Card Game: Never shows the other initial cards for the Range contestant pulls at the beginning of the game.

    Like I said, any digital game with no printed card is suspect.

  19. Yes rhe wheel was rigged you never see it spin the way it should al a aus a difference in the way it slows down.

  20. I really do believe the wheel is rigged. And rigged towards African American contestants. Shame on you Drew Carey!!!!
