Reason Price is Right viewers begged producers to cut 'difficult' game from show ahead of new season revealed

Price is Right viewers beg producers to cut ‘hard’ game from show ahead of new season as winning is ‘very rare’

PRICE is Right fans have pined for the show to axe one of its most popular games ahead of its upcoming season.

The longtime game show shared a new clip to its Instagram feed on Monday, showing contestants participating in its Lucky Seven segment.

The clip showed two contestants playing to win a brand-new car as they guessed — number by number — its total price.

During the game, players are given seven one-dollar bills to start as they begin to predict each digit.

For each incorrect number guessed, the player must give back one dollar bill to host Drew Carey, 66.

In order to win, the contestant must have $1 left after all the digits are revealed.

They are then allowed to purchase the car for $1, essentially winning the game.

While the quick clip showed a victorious contestant who ended the game with two dollars in hand, the difficult game often ends in a loss.

In the comments section, viewers asked The Price is Right producers to cut the game from the show overall, as it has such a low success rate.

“I’ve been watching the show for 50 plus years and it’s very rare for someone to win on Lucky 7 that’s a hard game but good for her that must mean there’s going to be a show on tonight,” one wrote.

“Hope Lucky Seven or what I really like to called it UNLUCKY SEVEN needs to stop playing more often come Season 53 or it’s going to be the producers’ fault,” a second slammed.

Another viewer also called the show’s Time Is Money segment “awful.”

“Your TIME IS MONEY game is awful. First of all, why do you give the contestant only 10 seconds to grab and place all of the items? It should be 15 seconds MINIMUM,” they wrote.

“Slowing it down by a few seconds would be more fair and it would still be fast paced. Please consider these minor changes before it affects one of your contestants.”

Someone else noted their distaste for a contestant’s ability to bid $1 above their opponents.

The Price is Right Hosts

The Price is Right first came on TV in 1972. Fans fell in love with the game show so much that it has been on for over 50 years. Throughout that time, the show has had a few different hosts. Find out who they are below.

Bob Barker – 1972 to June 2007 (also became executive producer in 1988)

Drew Carey – October 2007 to present

Dennis James – filled in for Bob in 1974 when he missed four episodes, also hosted the nighttime version

Craig Ferguson – 2014 April Fools Day Special

“I always loved the show but I wish they would eliminate or change up the $1 over the previous contestants bid,” they commented.

SWITCHING ITS STYLE

Season 53 of the hit game show is set to premiere in late September.

Last week, some fans were outraged by the show’s unexpected schedule change ahead of its new season.

The Price is Right at Night will return on September 23rd, airing on Monday nights from 8 to 9 p.m.

However, the night episodes used to air on Wednesday nights on CBS.

With the switch from Wednesdays to Mondays, some fans are worried that Monday Night Football will severely affect future episodes.

Football starts around the same time and often delays programs when the games go into overtime.

“I don’t know why CBS is moving the night shows to Monday night? They are now competing head-to-head with NFL Monday Night Football,” one fan said on Reddit.

“That’s definitely unfair,” another said.
