The Price is Right is a long-running game show in which contestants compete to win prizes by correctly guessing the prices of various items. The show's 2008 season included a special two-part event called the College Championship, in which college students competed to win cash and prizes. Episode 180, which aired on May 6, 2009, was the second part of the finals for this championship.
The episode began with the four finalists from the previous episode: Kevin, a senior from UCLA; Britt, a senior from the University of Alabama; Caitlin, a senior from the University of Southern California; and Michael, a senior from the University of Georgia. Host Drew Carey introduced them and explained the rules for the final round of the championship.
The first game they played was called "Coming or Going," in which the contestants had to guess whether a displayed price was the actual price of a prize or whether the numbers needed to be reversed. Each contestant had two chances to play, and the one who got the most correct won $2,000 and advanced to the next round.
The next game was "Plinko," in which contestants dropped a small disc down a board filled with pegs, hoping to land the disc in a slot at the bottom that was worth the most money. Each contestant got one chance to play, and the one with the highest score won $2,000 and advanced to the next round.
The third game was "Switcheroo," in which the contestants had to correctly match the prices of five small items to win a car. Each contestant had 30 seconds to make their guesses, and the one who correctly matched the prices won the car and advanced to the final round.
In the final round, the two remaining contestants had to guess the price of a showcase of prizes without going over. The showcase included a trip to New York City, a new car, and a home theater system, among other things. Kevin won the showcase, and was declared the winner of the 2009 College Championship. He won $20,000 in cash and various other prizes, including the car he had won earlier in the episode.
Throughout the episode, there was a lot of excitement and tension as the contestants tried to guess the prices of items correctly and win their way to the final round.
