Another Double Showcase Winner on TPiR! February 19, 2009

Today on “The Price is Right,” Lindsey Marie Kowal won both showcases in the Showcase round!  Lindsey Marie – a Cleveland, Ohio, transplant living in Las Vegas – came within $116 of the actual retail price of her showcase, which featured Jo Malone products, a bedroom set (with mattress), and a jet ski.  (If a contestant is within $250 or less on their bid, they win both showcases.)  She was the first Double Showcase winner since Terry Kneiss, another Vegas resident, won in December.  Host Drew Carey exhibited much more enthusiasm than last time, which means there won’t be an uproar from fans on the internet.  (I’d be surprised if there is.)

The second showcase was James Bond-themed with a watch, an assortment of “007” movies on blu-ray disc, a home theater system with blu-ray disc player and a 46″ plasma TV, and a trip to Monte Carlo.

In addition to the showcases, Lindsey Marie won snowboarding equipment in One Bid, the game played in contestants’ row.

2/24 UPDATE: Today, only three airdates later, “The Price is Right” had another Double Showcase winner!  Zachary Newton, the top winner in the Showcase round, came within a mere $87 of the actual retail price of his showcase.  The showcase featured a bedroom set (with mattress), snowboarding and skiing equipment, and a snowmobile.

Zachary passed the first showcase, which featured nine iPod Nanos, a monthly home spa party for a year, and a trip to Sweden.

His One Bid prize was a refrigerator/freezer.
