A friend of mine tried to prove to me that getting onstage at The Price Is Right can be nailed down to a science. After witnessing his efforts, I'd venture to call it more of an art. Behold, the Price Is Right Beattitudes; Your path to winning a brand new dinette, straight out of an episode of Scooby Doo.

SECRET # 1: Bring A Group

If you can recruit a group of 25 people or more, someone in your group is guaranteed to be called up onstage. So call up Uncle Moe, that kid from the ping pong table at the gym who’s obsessed with you, and everyone from the retirement home down the street. Basically anyone who’d get a rise out of paying $40 to ride around in a rented school bus with no shocks before dawn.

Meet Remi: He’s excited, he’s informed, and he loooooves Drew Carey and his little lollipop microphone.

SECRET # 3: The Producers Want You To Win

Even though you’ll wisely appear as though you’re really puzzled by all of the number games, rest assured that someone is bound to win something during the episode. No prizes means bad ratings, so guess those dog food prices with confidence. Once you’re onstage, you’re most likely going straight to the top.

Keep the drama and the ratings alive, by maintaining a look of wonderment, just like Remi did!

SECRET # 5: The Wheel Is Heavy

Eat your Wheaties the morning of the show.

Aim high, but not TOO high. Especially when one of the possible prizes is a new nursery set.

SECRET # 6: Sometimes It's Better Not To Win

Don’t look too sad, when the pretty lady coasts out on the moving floor covered with pink swan-themed nursery accessories.

SECRET # 2: Act Like You're Crazy

This step is fairly simple intellectually, but difficult to pull off with finesse. Once you realize that it’s going to be nearly impossible to recruit a group of 25 to meet at the CBS Studios at 6am, thus voiding your guaranteed contestant spot, you’ll have to come up with a plan B. Most will give up too easily when only 2 friends RSVP to the eVite, but not you. Oh, no.

Remember: TV Shows Like Big Ratings-
This means that if you enter the studio with the cantor of a rabbid pomeranian, screaming out that you’ve memorized the prices of all 34 types of Tide products, chances are, you’ll be called up.

SECRET #4: People Are Dumb

This fact, combined with your great odds will put you on the fast track to winning a brand new chandelier!

Dumbest Contestant Ever

I realize the whole betting $1 higher or lower thing is really high-concept and all, but don’t let this happen to you!

Stick Proudly at $.80

…knowing you won’t have to pay $475 of tax on baby furniture.

SECRET # 7: When The Lady Next To You Chooses To Stay At $.50, It Means She Doesn't Have A Baby Either!

You’ll feel like a real celebutant as you enter the guarded parking lot in your 1994 Saturn. At least I did.

Don't Cry, Dry Your Eyes

Your girlfriend won’t necessarily dump you when you return home with a bunch of baby furniture like Remi’s did. That was totally a coincidence, right, Remi?

Haha, hilarious. I’m still kicking myself for missing the Bob Barker days. I so badly wanted to play Plinko!!! Or the game where you punch your hand through those little paper things and win $$$. Dreams, dreams.

I want to go on the Price is Right – I dont’ know if I could act crazy enough to get on stage. It sounds easy but I bet it is not – just try yelling about the great price of a laundry detergent at the grocery store next time you are there.
