The Price Is Right Contestant Wins Big Prize
In a recent episode of The Price Is Right, viewers went to social media to criticize the show after a contestant, Brian won an $11,000 hot tub. The episode featured a game called Vend-O-Price, where contestants guess the price of grocery items displayed on a giant turntable. Brian had to pick the row of items that totaled the highest price. The items he had to choose from were Pringles, sunflower seeds, and chocolate milk, with different amounts of each. Brian chose the middle row, which had the sunflower seeds, and he was correct. This choice led him to win the wood-paneled hot tub, which the host, Drew Carey, excitedly urged him to go collect.
However, many viewers are not impressed with the prize. Some fans went to social media, expressing their disbelief that a hot tub worth $11,000 was being given away on the show. One fan had said, “THAT is an $11k hot tub?” While another commented “$11,000 hot tub… that hot tub is $399 at Walmart.” The fans felt that the prize was not valuable enough for the level of excitement that was being shown. The hot tub didn’t seem worth the big price tag, especially when compared to other prizes on the show. Several viewers are concerned that a prize like the hot tub could be so heavily advertised. When they believe it wasn’t worth anywhere near the amount the show says it is.

Fans Question The Shows Honesty
The episode made fans question the game itself. The Vend-O-Price game has been a part of The Price Is Right since 2015. The show involves contestants guessing which of three rows of grocery items has the highest total price. This game is often viewed as one of the easier ones, many contestants win only after a few tries. Brian’s win may have been simple, but it has caused some viewers to comment that the game might be too easy. Some even expressed that the prizes on the show seemed to be increasingly underwhelming or misleading.
