Vincent Romeo, come on down! You’re the next contestant on ‘The Price is Right!’”
Those were the happy words that Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Apprentice Vincent Romeo heard when he and 44 other sailors from the carrier Ronald Reagan attended a recording of the TV game show Wednesday at CBS Studios, according to a press release from the carrier Ronald Reagan.
Another contestant beat Romeo on the first bid by only $1. Romeo returned the favor to another contestant and won the second prize, a luggage set from London Fog.
Romeo played “The Shell Game” and correctly guessed which coconut shell contained the red ball.
While [host Drew Carey] was explaining the game, I heard the ball clack against the wall. Immediately I knew were it was, so it was an easy win. And now I’m going to Cabo, baby!”
That’s right, folks. Romeo won a six-night trip to the sun-washed beaches of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Well, not so fast. His chain of command needs to approve a special request chit.
