Local Contestant Charms “Price is Right” Audience
A heartwarming moment unfolded on a recent episode of “The Price is Right,” reminding viewers why the show remains a beloved classic. Marsha, a deaf contestant, accompanied by her interpreter, captured the hearts of fans with her enthusiasm and good spirits.
After a warm embrace with host Drew Carey, Marsha’s prize was revealed: a brand-new car. The challenge?
The One Away game. With the incorrect price of $28,173 displayed, Marsha had to guess whether each digit was one number higher or lower.
With focused determination, Marsha made her initial guesses, adjusting each digit one by one. After conferring with the sound effects coordinator (through her interpreter, of course), it was revealed she had correctly guessed three out of the five digits.
Given a second chance, Marsha tweaked two more digits, hoping to land on the elusive correct price. The tension mounted as the actual price of $17,264 was unveiled. While Marsha didn’t drive away with the new car, her infectious joy and positive attitude resonated with viewers.
Fans flooded social media with messages of support. One commenter noted that Marsha had secured her place in “Price is Right” history, regardless of the outcome. Another praised the show’s long history of inclusivity, providing contestants of all abilities the same opportunity to win big.
