The final round of The Price Is Right; it involves two players who have won the Showcase Showdown. The player who has won the most money out of the two is the Top Winner; the player who has won the least money out of the two is the Runner-Up. The object is to come as close as you can to the actual retail price--WITHOUT GOING OVER. The Top Winner has the privilege to bid on the first Showcase or force the Runner-Up to bid on it; this is called passing. If a player overbids, he/she is automatically disqualified (but they keep the prizes won before the round), as an overbid cannot win. If a player wins, and he/she is $250 or less ($500 if a Million Dollar Spectacular) away from the actual retail price, he/she will win BOTH Showcases (and $1,000,000 if a Million Dollar Spectacular)! If both players are over, it is called a double overbid; in other words, nobody wins. A good strategy if a player thinks his/her opponent overbid is bidding $1.
"Actual retail price..." Drew Carey announced to the top winner before revealing the good news in the Showcase.

The round on The Price Is Right where a big wheel is spun and three players have already played their pricing games. The object is to come as close as you can to $1.00--WITHOUT GOING OVER. Getting the $1.00 (the 100) directly or in a combination of two spins (the two have to equal 100 or $1.00) awards $1,000 ($5,000 if a Million Dollar Spectacular). Landing on the green sections (5 and 15) during the bonus spin earns you $10,000 (previously $5,000) and landing on the 100 again on the bonus spin earns you $25,000 (previously $10,000). Players (and most often the host) can also be booed when they do not get the wheel around at least once.
"And now, here's Drew Carey (or Bob Barker) with the Showcase Showdown!" announcer Rich Fields said after announcing the consolation prizes or products for promotional consideration if the show is in a rerun.

Showcasing talent: convincing a highly skilled or talented person in using their abilities freely with hopes of good exposure. The possibilities of one day getting paid for doing something without pay, being duped into offering free services for possible reward.
Expected to work for no pay in order to meet and make great contactsand get a job someday.

We've can't afford to pay you to play at our club but we'll let you in free for showcasing talent if you'd like, there's a lot of record producers who come here all the time.

A low-cut top worn by a woman, in order to expose her cleavage and/or breasts, much like putting them in a showcase. Typically, women who wear these tops deny that they want attention - they feign modesty, take extreme offense to catching men looking at their chest, and they frequently complain to other women about being objectified, due to their appearance, in a way that closely mimics humble-bragging.
Christina acts like it bothers her to have men look at her cleavage when talking to her, even though she only wears showcase shirts and tight jeans, around men.

A level of hype far superior to other levels of hype. This is the feeling people get after winning both showcases on the popular daytime television game show: The Price Is Right. It's an extremely rare occurrence on the television show, and one that would make any person stoked to the highest degree.
Darrius: Hey there, James. So tell me, why did I get so many texts from you last night containing only exclamation points?
James: Check this out, homie. So I met back up with that hot chick, Taylor, right? And we were getting ready go back to my place when that other chick Li shows up. So I got her to come back too.
Darrius. Unbelievable, man. I cannot believe that you managed to get two beautiful women to come back to your place. So please, continue your story. What did you manage to do afterwards?
James: Check it, I took them back to my place and nailed them both at the same time! I executed it like a champion and believe me, I was so fuckin' Double Showcase that I almost exploded in anticipation.
