launch, and Emdur made comments on The Morning Show about "needing a new job". The format was similar to the short-lived United States syndicated version hosted by Doug Davidson in 1994. After all three pricing games have been played, the two contestants with the highest winnings would go through to the Showcase Play-off. Only in the event where two or all three contestants are tied in value (mainly due to them losing in their pricing game), a one-bid round would be played (although with a current item, not based on a historical item, as was the case in the 1994 US version in question). The basic Showcase format was used, but with a few changes. At first, the range was $1,000 (e.g. between $24,000 and $25,000) for the first three weeks before decreasing to its standard $100 (e.g. between $24,500 and $24,600). The Showcase itself decreased the items down to six; the car, as always, locked in last. The winner also now had 40 seconds to make all the decisions and if time expires, any item(s) left over are automatically locked in. Its last episode aired on 7 December 2012. On 30 January 2013, the Seven Network officially cancelled the show, and has no plans to renew it. Network Ten currently holds exclusive rights to the show because of its ownership by Paramount Global. Fremantle, the show's owner, and Paramount Global have a working agreement because Paramount's United States broadcast network is Fremantle's partner in the franchise.

Models The models of The Price Is Right often drew as much interest as the show itself. Many of the models have become celebrities in their own right. Some of these models
