Not going into spoilerlike detail here, which is why I'm not posting this in Show Summaries. But here's the deal:
It's Price Is Right. A one-bid has been displayed. Player A bids; Bob repeats the bid as it's displayed. Player B, same. Player C bids, and Bob mishears her, says the wrong amount back to her. The right amount is displayed, then blanked out. Player D starts to bid, and as he's doing so, Player C finally gets Bob's attention. The matter of C's bid is settled. D bids--A DIFFERENT AMOUNT. And wins.
D doesn't win his pricing game. C subsequently gets onstage, but she doesn't win, either.
Should Standards and Practices be notified? :)

No. Player D did not get to bid until after player C had bid. That's normal.

I don't see a problem. Player D is allowed the courtesy of knowing the bids prior to his before he makes his bid. If something went down so that C's bid had to be corrected, then D should be able to use that information, even to the point of changing his bid if they had gone so far as to enter it into the readout.
That, I would think, is why the new player in Contestant's Row always bids first...to allow the players there before the new player a slight advantage towards getting out.
