Watch a 'Price Is Right' Contestant Make the Worst Guess Ever
by Andy NeuenschwanderDaytime television is usually fluff with a lot of entertainment value and not a lot of educational value. But we learned something on "The Price is Right" this week.
Namely, we learned that hammocks don't cost $7,000.
This week on the long-running game show, it was business as usual for host Drew Carey as he asked the contestants to make bids on what they thought the value of the fine hammock they were seeing was.
Three of the contestants guessed around the $750-$1200 range, a sensible guess for a large, luxurious hammock with its own base. You don't even have to have two trees to anchor it!
Corey, however, had a different idea. Corey clearly thought this was the finest hammock in the existence of hammocks, because he made a hilarious bid of $7,000.
Now, when you consider that contestants are supposed to get close to the value of the item without going over, that makes Corey's guess even worse. What was going through Corey's head? Did he mean to say $700? Did he think that the hammock was made out of gold or contained the remains of some beloved celebrity woven into the fabric?
We don't know, but here's the video. Watch Corey in action:
