The Price is Right, But Can I Keep Going?!

Just saw one really unintelligent lady on The Price is Right TV show.

She was playing something called the "Card Game" and was playing for a brand new car (the make and model are irrelevant). The whole idea of the card game was to come within $2,000 of the price of the car, without going over, and she would win the car. The way it worked is they gave her a set of cards, face down, and she was to select one card. The card that she selected had a monetary amount on it; she selected $2,000. The $2,000 was added onto the fixed amount given, which was $10,000, so for all you math majors, she had $12,000 to start. They then gave her a new set of cards that were actual playing cards and were also turned face down. She selected one card at a time until she wanted to stop the price. For example, a 5 of clubs adds $500 to the price, a 9 of spades adds $900 to the price. She got 2 or 3 cards until she stumbled on a wild card. This is where it got interesting, ha ha! The wild card allows her to add ANY AMOUNT to her current price. This card was designed to be a lucky card, where she wouldn't want to pick up any more cards after because she would be at the amount she thought would win her the car. I know you see where this is going...

She asked Bob if she could select more cards after giving her amount!

Bob kept asking her why she would want to select more cards if she was sure about the price but she kept consulting with the crowd then repeatedly asking if she could select more cards after. Clearly didn't get it. So she gives her amount but she doesn't even give the amount she wants to add on. She gives the amount that she wants it to add up to (perhaps she can't do math either). He puts the number on the board and guess what she does?

She asks if she can continue selecting cards!

Bob told her no and that she is not allowed to select any more cards because the allotted time is up. Good move, you don't want to confuse her any more. She might put up a fight saying the rules weren't clearly explained to her or something.

Turns out she lost by $5. No joke. Stupid is as stupid does, she got what she deserves. And they saved the car for someone who is less accident prone. They should really check to see if people passed their drivers license test before offering them a new car.
