The Price is Right is a classic game show that has been entertaining audiences for decades. In this popular game show, contestants compete to win prizes by correctly guessing the prices of various items.

Episode 72 of the 2017 season of The Price is Right originally aired on Wednesday, April 19th, 2017. As with all episodes of the show, this one featured a celebrity guest who helped to introduce some of the prizes to the contestants.

The episode began with the classic pricing game, Plinko. In this game, contestants drop a small chip down a board filled with pegs, hoping that the chip will land in a slot at the bottom of the board that corresponds with a prize value. In this episode, contestants had the opportunity to win up to $50,000.

Next up was the ever-popular game, Cliff Hangers. In this game, contestants must guess the price of three items, with each correct guess earning them a step up a mountain. A yodeling man’s fate is also tied to their guesses, and as the contestant gets farther up the mountain, the yodeling man’s plight becomes more perilous. If the contestant makes it to the top without the yodeler falling off the mountain, they win the prize, which in this episode was a new car.

The third pricing game in this episode was the classic game, Punch-a-Bunch. In this game, contestants must correctly guess the prices of four small items in order to earn punches on a board filled with holes. Each hole corresponds to a cash prize, with the values ranging from $50 to $25,000. Contestants got to take all the cash they won, so there was lots of excitement in the air as they tried to guess the prices of the items and earn as many punches as possible.

After Punch-a-Bunch, it was time for one of the more unusual pricing games, called Rat Race. In this game, a group of small plastic rats are placed at the top of a ramp, and contestants must guess which of five items is priced the highest. Each correct guess earns them a number of rats, which are then released down the ramp. The first rat to cross the finish line corresponds to a prize, and the contestant is awarded that prize. This game is always a hit with the audience, who cheer on the rats as they race down the ramp.

The fifth pricing game in this episode was Let ‘em Roll. In this game, contestants must correctly guess the prices of three items in order to earn three rolls of large dice. The top prize for this game is a new car, and each of the six sides of each die corresponds to a different value, ranging from $500 to $10,000. Contestants must get a total of $25,000 or more in order to win the car.

Finally, the episode ended with a chance for the contestants to win a large cash prize in the Showcase Showdown. In this round, contestants spin a wheel to try and get as close to $1 as possible without going over. The two contestants who are closest to the $1 mark without going over then earn a spot in the showcase, where they are shown a collection of prizes and must guess the total value of the showcase. The closest guess without going over wins the entire showcase.

Overall, this episode of The Price is Right was full of excitement and energy, as contestants vied for a variety of prizes ranging from cash to cars. The celebrity guest added an extra bit of fun to the proceedings, and Drew Carey was in top form as the host of the show.
