Contestant’s Shocking Showcase Showdown Bid Leaves Drew Carey Speechless on Live TV
In a remarkable episode of The Price Is Right, contestant Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada stunned host Drew Carey and the live audience with an almost perfect bid during the Showcase Showdown. Masse placed a bold bid of $39,500 on a prize package that included a car, a trip to Miami, and several other high-value items.
When Carey revealed the actual retail value—$39,501—he was left completely speechless. “So, let me tell ya…” Carey began, struggling to contain his astonishment as the audience erupted into cheers. The bid came within $250 of the true price without going over, qualifying Masse for the rare Double Showcase win, allowing him to take home both prize packages.
In total, Masse walked away with prizes valued at $83,068, including the car, trips to Miami, Milan, and Hawaii, a motorcycle, and designer apparel. Carey called it “the best Showcase bid in the history of the show,” praising Masse for his near-perfect guess and noting that there was “absolutely no help from anybody in the audience.”
