WTF! The Price is Right sure has changed...

I never watch this show anymore, but I just turned on the TV as I am doing some work and caught the back end of a showcase showdown. One of the prize packages included a BMW 135i vert, a BMW motorcycle and a driving event at the plant in South Carolina! Damn things have changed.

UPDATE - She lost. Her bid was $47k. The actual price of her showcase was $63k.

What? No dinette set? No windsurfer? No his-and-hers 10 speed bicycles? I'd want a sweet dinette set.

I know. I was blown away. Even Drew Careey seemed a little surprised. He had to talk up the other guys showcase a little to make him feel better. He said "there aren't any BMW's in your showcase, but it is still a pretty good showcase".
