The Consequences of "Come on Down!"
It's your reward for coming down with the flu: as soon as you feel well enough to focus, you can click on the television and spend the late morning with everyone's favorite game show host, Bob Barker on The Price is Right. You get to play along with the pricing games at home (how much for that chandelier? And does the price of a blender end with a 4 or a 9?), cross your fingers for the contestants during Plinko and Hole in One, and hold your breath through the Showcase Showdown. But can you imagine actually hearing your name called as "the next contestant on the Price is Right!"? Our guest Shellani Jensen did, AND she won big. The catch? Paying taxes on her winnings wasn't nearly so sweet as her victory. Have you ever been on the receiving end of a windfall, only to turn around and find the tax man with his hand out? How'd you satisfy him, and did it change how you felt about your win?
