  • Amber Lancaster Damages ‘Price Is Right’ Set With Her Butt, Model Embarrassed

    The Price is Right model Amber Lancaster was not so lucky during Friday night’s show. The 35-year-old model tripped and accidentally broke a light bulb on the set of the long-running TV game show.

    It all happened when the show was about to pause for a commercial break after a contestant won the “Double Prices” game. But what seemed like a normal episode took an awkward turn when Lancaster took a tumble in her stilettos, which caused her to fall backwards and accidentally hit a stage light, smashing it to pieces.

    Everyone on stage was surprised. “What… geez!” host Carey exclaimed.

    “Did I do that?” the horrified contestant asked while Lancaster’s fellow model, who stood beside the contestant, found the situation amusing and laughed.

    Lancaster was not hurt or injured and assured the audience she was okay. “I’m fine. I’m just gonna die of embarrassment real quick,” she said laughing as the game show went to pause for a short commercial break.

    After the show, the pretty blonde model took to Twitter to express her embarrassment through the hashtags #blooper #tpir #AmbersBootyVsLightbulb. Lancaster took the situation lightly and laughed off her accidental faux pas.

    She also posted a short clip of her hilarious fall and wrote: “Yep that’s me. Just stumbling around on stage for no reason at all” then added the hashtag #soembarrassed.

    Accidents are inevitable but the show must go on. Lancaster was not the only person who’s had embarrassing moments on The Price is Right stage. Announcer George Gray tripped on a treadmill in January and another model and assistant on the show accidentally gave away a $21,960 car to a contestant. The contestant gave the incorrect answer but the model accidentally uncovered the right answer.

  • Family Feud Fail Worst In Game Show History?

    If I catch an episode of Family Feud, I will typically watch and guess along to the end, and then pass on the “Fast Money” portion of the show most of the time.

    The reason is that it’s frustratingly predictable:

    The winning family selects one person that’s bright and has good guesses….and a dud. Said dud should never have been allowed anywhere near the chance at $20,000, but apparently he or she is somebody’s favorite.

    At least until AFTER they blow it for everyone.

    What usually happens is that the first person guesses well and the family needs 70 or 80 points more. Then dud barely gets half of that amount and everyone’s disappointed, but hopeful they can come back and try again.

    Rare is the duo of talented guessers that can pile up the points and win thousands multiple times.

    The Sass family looked like it didn’t even need a talented duo of “Fast Money” players. The first person in this now viral video managed a whopping 182 points alone.

    This is because they clearly managed to guess mostly top answers. All that was needed was for the man’s daughter to come out and make a couple of guesses. Heck even one good guess would have gifted them twenty grand.

    All the hard work was done, right? All they needed was 18 points!

    Unfortunately, the Sass family did not get those 18 points.


    In fact, after five guesses (or rather two guesses and three passes) the woman got absolutely NOTHING.

    You can see she knew how badly she screwed up and her family members did try to console her because television cameras were rolling; they couldn’t kill her right on stage in front of all those witnesses.

    Many are calling this Family Feud fail the worst in game show history. The “Achilles” college student who made an epic error on Wheel Of Fortune might have something to say about that.

    Check out the now infamous fail for yourselves.

    Guess the top answers and see if you could have done better! I’ll go out on a limb and say, “Yes.”

  • Microsoft Surface Crashes Mid-Debut

    Microsoft Surface Crashes Mid-Debut

    It’s hard being Microsoft. Windows has had the stigma of software crashes associated with it for over nearly two decades now, and its blue screen of death has become iconic. The company has even tried to lighten up that blue screen for its new Windows 8 operating system, but a crash is a crash, and its never fun.

    Since Microsoft’s new Surface tablets will run on Windows 8, I suppose customers can expect to see the new frowny-face blue screen of death at some point. However, the screen was curiously lacking on Monday when a Surface tablet decided to become obstinately frozen during the middle of Microsoft’s big Surface announcement.

    Watch the video below to see Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows division at Microsoft, show off Internet Explorer on a Surface tablet, only to have it lock up. Even the home button on the device fails to fix the problem. Sinofsky tries his best to work through the setback but is obviously flustered, and eventually has to swap the tablet for a back-up:

    Ouch. I can almost hear Steve Jobs laughing from beyond the veil of death. Though Apple’s computers aren’t quite as stable as they once were, the company certainly hasn’t had a product crash mid-debut. That sort of luck is reserved only for Microsoft. It’s too bad, because Microsoft was probably working on that presentation for weeks, and now the news of the flub will partially overshadow what appears to be a well-designed device. However, if Microsoft’s software can’t hold up, there is no point in dropping hundreds of dollars for a pretty tablet.
