“PRICE is Right” is known for its tricky puzzles, and a recent clip from the popular game show is no exception.
Drew Carey, who has hosted the show since 2007, appears in a new clip shared on the show’s Instagram page in which he is seen with a contestant named Gerald.

In the video clip, contestant Gerald had to play “Line ‘Em Up” to win a brand new car.
However, the audience was annoyed because he did not guess what they wanted to hear from him.
GUESSING GAMES
While playing the game, he was shouted at by spectators and urged to choose three rather than five when estimating the price of the car.
The initial estimate was $25,380, but that turned out to be the wrong price.

Gerald was then informed that he had only got two numbers right and that he therefore had to guess again.
While guessing again, he was allowed to change one number, and most viewers wanted him to change the first or second number.
Gerald decided to change the second number, so his final estimate was $23,380.
DISSATISFIED AUDIENCE
The crowd did not like his guess, many booed and seemed unimpressed by Gerald’s decision.
But everything changed when it was announced that the price of the car was $23,380. This meant that Gerald was right and had won the car.
The crowd did a massive U-turn and cheered, hooted and clapped when they learned that Gerald had won.
Then Gerald slid across the floor on his knees and let out a loud cry of joy.
The game show’s Instagram page shared the clip from the show on social media with the caption, “Gerald can outshine the doubters with his NEW CAR!”
“The most difficult game”
One fan commented, “Line ‘Em Up is one of the hardest games ever played on TPIR.”
“Congratulations,” wrote a second, while another said, “Winning and kicking more (ass) than Family Feud.”
Meanwhile, another fan gave an insight into what it’s like to be in the studio while the show is being filmed.

“I was there with my sister in March. The studio is so much smaller than it looks on TV,” the fan revealed.
