Get ready for a whirlwind of emotions as The Price Is Right delivers one of its most dramatic episodes yet! In a surprising and heartfelt twist, host Drew Carey unveiled a rare “Second Chance” for a contestant during one of the most challenging games ever played on the show. The crowd cheered, hearts raced, and one player’s determination became the highlight of the episode.

Unlike other game shows where players know exactly what game they’re playing—like solving puzzles on Wheel of Fortune or answering trivia on Jeopardy!—contestants on The Price Is Right step on stage with no idea what challenge awaits them. Some games are relatively simple, while others test skill, speed, and sheer luck. But one particular game stands out for being so tough that the show has officially built in a second chance mechanism.

That game? Time Is Money.

On a recent episode, contestant Paris stepped up to the stage with excitement, only to learn he’d be playing Time Is Money, a fast-paced and nerve-wracking challenge. Though similar to other price-based games on the show, Time Is Money adds a ticking clock that sends contestants scrambling.

Here’s how it works: Paris was presented with five grocery items. His task? To place each item into one of five price categories — under $3, $3-$5.99, and over $6. He had just 10 seconds to arrange all five items onto the right platforms. The pressure was on.

Drew yelled “Go!” and Paris rushed into action. But he made a rookie mistake—he grabbed only one item instead of all five. Drew quickly shouted a warning, urging Paris to take them all at once if he wanted to beat the clock. Paris scrambled, placing each item as quickly as possible.

Time ran out—and the results were in.

Unfortunately, the buzzer revealed that Paris hadn’t placed all the items correctly. The audience sighed, feeling the sting of defeat. But then, in a rare moment of generosity and understanding, Drew made an emotional announcement.

“This game is so hard,” he explained, “we’ve built in a second chance.”

Cheers erupted from the crowd as Paris was given another shot to win. But this time, the pressure grew even more intense. A money timer began counting down from $20,000 to $0—every second lost meant less prize money. Paris had to work fast.

With urgency in his movements and the audience holding their breath, Paris rearranged the items and slammed the red button. Time stopped.

$8,000.

He did it.

Paris had correctly placed all five items and secured a thrilling win worth $8,000! The studio erupted in applause. Drew looked visibly relieved and pleased, giving Paris a congratulatory nod before sending him off to spin the iconic Big Wheel.

This episode reminded fans why The Price Is Right remains one of the most beloved game shows on television. It’s not just about prizes—it’s about second chances, human drama, and the joy of unexpected redemption.
