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.

A term coined by Bob Barker (b. 1923-12-12, retired at the end of Season 35; ended 2007-06-15, taped 2007-06-06) which is someone that watches The Price Is Right all their life. Contestants are told this when they get on the show, win their One Bid prize and make it up on stage and declare that they are a fan of the show. Current host Drew Carey (b. 1958-05-23) has yet to say this to a contestant.

The current announcer on The Price Is Right hired by Bob Barker mid-Season 32 in 2004 after previous announcer Rod Roddy's death in 2003 who makes appearances on camera when something funny happens and can be heard laughing off camera.
"But they won't edit out this. Rich was on the wrong page and he said, "It's an upright piano!" announced Drew Carey.
"Hahahahaha...DARN!" laughed Rich Fields.

One of the major parts of The Price Is Right, the second step after a player has won the One-Bid. Most of these can be played for furniture, cash, or even cars. One example is Plinko, a fan favorite that debuted in 1983, which offers cash prizes up to $50,000.
"(insert name here), you're going to play PLINKO for a chance to win up to $50,000!" Rich Fields announced to the lucky contestant before the pricing game started and the audience cheered wildly.
