Most Expensive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most Expensive is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on October 16, 1972, it is played for three prizes, each usually worth more than $1,000. Most Expensive is occasionally played for three trips. On September 18, 2006, the 35th season premiere, the game was played for three cars for the first time. Jay Wolpert, a former producer of the show, was the creator of this game.
The game was unofficially called All or Nothing at All by Dennis James on the original syndicated version of the show.
[edit] Gameplay
The contestant is shown three prizes and must decide which one is the most expensive. The prices are then revealed one at a time, ending with the selected prize. A correct answer wins all three prizes.
[edit] Foreign versions
On the 1980s UK Price, the game known as "Most Expensive" actually used the rules of Eazy az 1 2 3 (which did not exist yet in the United States). Contestants were asked to number the prizes 3-2-1 from least to most expensive, and winners would only receive the most expensive prize.
In the first two series of Bruce's Price Is Right, the American format of Most Expensive was used, although winners would still only receive the most expensive prize. In the third series, the game reverted to the Eazy az 1 2 3 format, and winners began to receive all three prizes.
