Local “Price Is Right” Fans Call for End to “Rat Race”

“The Price Is Right,” a television game show staple, is facing a wave of criticism from local viewers over one of its games. “Rat Race,” a game conceived by host Drew Carey, is drawing complaints for its complexity and perceived unfairness.

The game involves contestants guessing the prices of three items to earn mechanical rats. These rats then race on a track. The rats’ finishing positions determine the prizes won.

The controversy stems from the unpredictable nature of the mechanical rats. Malfunctions, false starts, and even rats veering off the track are common occurrences.

This mechanical jeopardy has led many fans to call for the game’s removal. Some argue that malfunctions unfairly penalize contestants who have successfully guessed prices. They compare it to other games where a malfunction would clearly be deemed unfair.

One viewer described the game as “creepy” and questioned the fairness of some outcomes. Online forums are buzzing with similar complaints, with many viewers expressing their frustration.

Despite the backlash, some viewers find the game entertaining and unique. They prefer it to other pricing games, citing nostalgia and its unpredictable nature. The debate continues as to whether “Rat Race” will remain a part of the show.
