Price is Right fans call out ‘creepy game’ and beg host Drew Carey to ‘cut’ it from show ahead of new season

THE Price is Right fans have begged the show to change a specific game before it returns for the new season.
Game show fans have called the bit “creepy” and want it gone.
The Price is Right is currently airing reruns until Season 53 airs this fall.
The episode that aired on Friday was a rerun from May 1, 2024.
Lesa was playing to win a dishwasher, new dishes, an exercise bike, and a car.
To win the prizes, she had to play a game called Rat Race.
Five mechanical rats are wound up and put on a track.
Lesa had to correctly guess the price of grocery items in order to pick a colored rat.
She got all of the items correct and picked the pink, blue, and yellow rats.
Pink, yellow, and green were the first three to cross the finish line and Lena won the car.

‘IT’S CREEPY’
Despite the simple nature of the game, and the game show using fake rats, fans find it creepy.
Reddit users discussed the game on the platform.

“I don’t understand Rat Race, and it creeps me out … I don’t think she won the car, but they gave it to her – I know Drew reads this sub: Please retire Rat Race!” one fan said.
“Agreed. One of my least favorite games,” said another.
“I used to work in an office that had a BAD rat infestation, and rats would run across the floor during the day! If rats are active during the day, it means there are so many of them, they have to work in shifts!” added a third.
“CREEPS ME OUT ….. at least the rats are bright colors and not black and gray.”
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
BIG BREAK
Fans were confused when The Price is Right was suddenly taken off the air.
Season 52 ended on July 4, but the show didn’t warn fans.
They only found out about the season ending when a Halloween episode aired on July 8.
“Did I miss somewhere in the last episode an announcement about a break or an off-season until episodes start airing again?” a Reddit user asked.
“Is the show done for a while?” asked another.
The game show is currently on summer break and will return with new episodes this fall.
Drew Carey will be back to host as well.
