Sorry for being out the past few days. But we're back and there's a lot going on. Let's start with a recap video today, though. One of The Price is Right's most interesting games is "Pay the Rent." It's interesting beyond the $100,000 payout, which is the highest cash prize the show offers. It's interesting because the game is, understandably, very hard and actually requires you to think. Our contestant from this week, Reeshemah, is getting awfully close to winning it. Do we have the first winner? Click here to watch, read our thoughts, and let us know what you think.

Video: Big Money Showcase Showdown on “The Price is Right”
It's safe to assume everyone knows the rules to the Showcase Showdown on The Price is Right. It's practically the same across the world just with bonus prize differences. Spin $1.00 in a combination of one or two spins and you win $1,000. You then get a bonus spin where you can win $10,000 extra for landing on $0.05 or $0.15...or $25,000 for getting the dollar again. It's not easy and that's why the prize is so big. Yesterday had a pretty unique Showdown. Two contestants got dollars in their first spins and won the grand. They face an interesting decision now. Do they risk not going to the Showcases to win one of the two bonus prizes, or go for one of the higher amounts and get a better chance at playing for tens of thousands of dollars in prizes? Will both score big on the wheel? Click here to check out the record breaking Showcase Showdown.

Review and Report: “The Price Is Right Live” Spins Its Way to My Area, Brings a Great Experience
You're probably not going to win a brand new car. You're probably not going to win a $20,000 cash prize. And, in all likelihood, you're not going to be called by announcer Andy Martello to "come on down!" If you come in accepting all of these things, The Price Is Right Live, a touring stage show based on the long-running CBS game show hosted by Todd Newton, is a heck of a lot of fun. I attended the 9:30 PM Friday night show at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. They did four shows over two days, selling out a 3,000-seat theatre each time, showing how popular the prospect of seeing Price is in the mid-Michigan area. My party and I were provided tickets for the program and we all had a lot of fun with a reasonable facsimile of the Price Is Right experience. Click here to read the very detailed, extensive report and review of The Price Is Right Live in Michigan.

Weekend Replay: Friday’s “Price Is Right” Ends In Super Bowl Heartbreak
The Super Bowl is upon us this evening and much of America, surely including our readership, is preparing for it.

Contestant Ryan Griffin was passed a Super Bowl themed showcase presented by NFL Network personality Rich Eisen, including a living room group and 3D HDTV to watch the game, $2,000 in spending cash and a new Chevy Sonic in which to go get viewing snacks.
