Week 1 (1,680 – 681xK): September 22-26

• On this week's shows, "43 Years" is attached to the dollar sign statues in the opening and between the Turntable and Door #1. A similar graphic appears at the base of the logo on Door #4; this version of the logo also appears during every commercial outro.

• Monday's opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Season 43 of The Price Is Right!"
• On Monday, the original, curved frames (or, more accurately, replicas thereof) return to the Big Doors; the fronts of the frames are now coated in metallic silver, and the colored strips are lights that match the colors of each door's panels (although, in a holdover from the Season 36-42 Big Doors, they still change colors during certain portions of the show). Also at this time, an additional colored strip is added above each door, the square patterns on the doors (including Door #4) are redone to appear more rounded and less metallic, half of the squares on each door have flashing lights installed in them, the dollar signs are removed from between the doors, and Goodson-Todman asterisks are placed at the bottom of the gaps between the doors.
• On Monday, a striped wall is added between the audience and the Turntable.
• On Monday, Bargain Game is played for two cars.

  • The first turn now lasts for 10 seconds instead of 20.
  • The second turn, instead of providing 20 seconds for a single guess, allows the contestant to make as many guess as they can while the amount of money they can win gradually ticks away; each time the contestant places the products, he must press a button a short distance away to check his guess, a la Bonkers.
  • The game no longer uses "think" music.
  • Items that cost exactly $6 now belong on the third shelf instead of the second shelf.
  • The prices of the items are no longer revealed at any point.
• On Monday, Time Is Money's second set debuts.

• On Monday, a new set of PriceIsRight.com graphics is introduced.

Week 21 (1,700 – 701xK): February 16-20

• This week's episodes feature a "#UDecide" theme, with the show's Twitter followers voting on various aspects of the show. The decisions are as follows, with the winning outcomes being listed first:
  • On Monday, Rat Race is played for a total of $100,000 cash, with $10,000 serving as the first prize, $15,000 serving as the second prize, and $75,000 serving as the "car" (as opposed to Grand Game being played for $100,000, with each prize multiplied by 10); the TV offered as the fifth Item up for Bids shows the famous clip of George falling off a treadmill during Most Expen$ive (as opposed to former contestant Eliot doing the fish flop); and, after the second Showcase Showdown, Drew urges viewers to visit PriceIsRight.com to see a video of a bearded James (as opposed to a clean-shaven James) getting ready for the show.
  • On Tuesday, Drew, for the first time since before Roger was fired, enters through the audience (as opposed to entering from the Turntable); a dance-off between PA Matt Spinelli and George (as opposed to Drew talking to the audience) is shown on PriceIsRight.com after the second Showcase Showdown; and the Showcase winner must be $1,000 or less away from the actual retail price to win both showcases (as opposed to having a dollar on the Big Wheel be worth $10,000 instead of $1,000).
  • On Wednesday, before the third Item up for Bids, Drew sends viewers to PriceIsRight.com to see Rachel give a tour of the pricing game storage area (as opposed to a video about the inner workings of George's podium); Double Prices is played for a yacht trip to the Caribbean (as opposed to a shopping spree in Barcelona); and the mountain climber in Cliff Hangers is dressed as Rachel, complete with Rachel providing the yodeling (as opposed to being dressed as Drew).
  • On Thursday, George serves as a fourth Barker's Beauty from the second Item up for Bids onward (as opposed to having a special guest model); Plinko's $100 slots are changed to $10,000 slots (as opposed to playing the game for $125,000, with a $25,000 slot in the center); and after the second Showcase Showdown, Drew sends viewers to PriceIsRight.com to watch a video of Plinko being set up (as opposed to a video of the Big Wheel being set up).
  • On Friday, Card Game is played for a Porsche (as opposed to a Range Rover), with a starting bid of $60,000; after the first Showcase Showdown, Drew sends viewers to PriceIsRight.com to watch a behind-the-scenes video with Adam (as opposed to a behind-the-scenes video with Stan); and the first showcase is about sandwiches (as opposed to the sky).
• In addition to the above, the following aspects of this week's shows are different than usual:
  • Door #4 displays the text "#UDecide" in front of a blue version of the Carey logo's background; the door's background is a cyberish pattern with various Price-related hashtags floating across it. A similar logo and background supplant the regular dollar sign and background on George's display.
  • The regular logo with the text "#UDecide" at its base appears during every commercial outro.
• On this week's shows, the video screens are redone with a silver color scheme; as these episodes were taped out of order, this change does not take effect permanently yet.
• On Monday, two small prize games are played; however, this is a byproduct of #UDecide, as Rat Race's vote going the other way would have given a normal fee game combo of Grand Game and Pathfinder.
• On Wednesday and Thursday, three Barker's Beauties are present; as such, George does not model during Most Expen$ive on Wednesday.
• On Wednesday, the cash register sound effect is removed from the second part of Time I$ Møney.

  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on a special spring break episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • Contestants' Row shows a continuous scene of a beach with bouncing beach balls; when bids are made, a beach ball flies across the contestant's display, leaving the normal colors in its wake.

• As Monday was taped alongside Week 28, two set changes seen in that week are present on this show: The border of Door #4 is silver, and the stage in the back of the audience is replaced by a runway (whose spotlights are red, yellow, and blue in this episode as opposed to being all white).
• On Monday, the silver video screens first seen in Week 21 are present.
• On Monday, everyone in the audience receives a mini refrigerator, a portion of the third Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said refrigerators.

Week 26 (1,705 – 706xK): March 23-27

• On Monday, the silver plasma screens return permanently.
• On Tuesday, the "wrong price" in Cover Up is five differently-attired mountain climbers.
• On Tuesday, Pass the Buck is played perfectly.
• On Tuesday, for no apparent reason, George models the second prize in Magic #.

• As the contestants do not know each other, Monday's trips include four tickets instead of the usual two and are arranged in such a way that the two players can take their vacations separately.
• On Monday, presumably due to the longer come on downs necessitated by calling two people separately, an edit of the opening version of "Walking" is used that starts 15 seconds in, at the first point that sounds like the beginning of the cue used during the body of the show; oddly, this edit is only used at the beginning of Act 3.

  • A sun is added to the end of the That's Too Much! board.
  • A swimsuit-clad mountain climber is riding a surfboard perched atop the Balance Game scales (although, in the tradition of Cliff Hangers, he falls off partway through the game).
  • "Righteous" is written in a different font than the rest of the "1 Right Price" logo, and triangles are added behind it; additionally, the entire color scheme of the graphical logo is changed.
  • To fit its temporary name, Shell Game's shells are covered with seashells, the shells around its logo are turned into seashells, and the usual ball is replaced with a solid white one to represent a pearl.
• On Tuesday, Shell Game is played for a car.
• In Tuesday's second showcase, the second prize, a party boat, is modeled by the other four onstage contestants.
• Wednesday's show is themed as a "back to school" episode; as such, the following aspects of it are different than usual:
  • Everyone in the audience is a teacher.
  • Door #4 shows a chalkboard with "Back to School" written on the background of the Carey logo as various other school-related drawings scroll by, with various school paraphernalia to the sides; a similar pattern, minus the chalkboard itself, appears on George's display, and the logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four teachers in attendance on a special back-to-school episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • The set is decorated with various school paraphernalia.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the chalkboard pattern from Door #4; when the contestants bid, the patterns wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • Everyone who gets onstage receives a $500 gift card for school supplies from Geddes; George plugs this before the first game. Additionally, George announces before the sixth game that everyone else will receive a $100 Geddes gift card; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as he urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.
• On Wednesday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• Wednesday's first showcase includes, as a bonus, an interactive touch-panel computer system for the winner's school; the contestants are instructed not to include it when they bid.
