In the video clip, contestant Gerald had to play Line ‘Em Up in order to win a brand-new car.

But the audience was disgruntled when he didn’t guess what they wanted him to.

GUESSING GAMES

As he was playing the game, the audience was shouting and screaming at him, urging him to choose the three and not the five when guessing the price of the car.

After guessing it was worth $25,380, it was revealed to be the wrong price.

Gerald was then told that he had only got two of the numbers correct, which meant he had to guess again.

While he was guessing again, he was allowed to change one number, and most of the audience wanted him to change the first or second number.

Gerald opted to change the second number, so that his final guess was $23,380.

UNHAPPY AUDIENCE

The crowd did not like his guess, with many booing and sounding unimpressed by Gerald’s decision.

But all changed when it was revealed that the automobile was priced at $23,380, meaning Gerald was right and had won the car.

The audience did a massive U-turn and quickly cheered, whooped and clapped when they learned that Gerald had won.

Gerald then knee slid across the floor and cheered loudly in celebration.

Sharing the clip from the show on social media, the game show’s Instagram page wrote a caption that read, “Gerald can leave the doubters in the dust with his NEW CAR!”

‘HARDEST GAME’

One fan commented, “Line ‘Em Up is one of the hardest games ever played on TPIR.”

“Congratulations,” penned a second, while another said, “Winning and kicking more [a**] than Family Feud.”

Meanwhile, another fan shared an insight into what it’s like to be in the studio when the show is being filmed.
