In a new episode of \u201cThe Price is Right,\u201d the announcer is expected to call a Paul Quinn College student to bidder\u2019s row. Neriah Braziel remembers screaming under the bright lights and exciting atmosphere of the set.<\/p>\n
The long-running game show is expected to air a college-themed episode for spring break on Monday at 10 a.m. on CBS.<\/p>\n
Braziel, a freshman at Paul Quinn College studying education, said it felt good to be picked and show love for her school. While the school is smaller and known more locally, Braziel said she was happy to see it get some recognition.<\/p>\n
The historically Black school in southeast Oak Cliff is a faith-based, private four-year college committed to eradicating generational poverty.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey do a lot for us, way more than other people would think,\u201d Braziel said, adding that her all teachers are \u201cvery hands-on with everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael Sorrell, Paul Quinn\u2019s president, said he hopes Braziel wins.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Quinnite Nation and I are thrilled for Neriah!\u201d Sorrell said in a written statement. \u201cWe all know how special it is to be on television, period. However, to be included as a contestant on such an icon show is something entirely different.\u201d<\/p>\n
Braziel said growing up, she saw the show with her mom and knew her mother had been on the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told her, \u2018OK, well, this time I want to go. I want to know what it\u2019s like. What is it like to be in the audience,\u2019\u201d Braziel said.<\/p>\n
She and her mom secured the tickets online and made their way to California. The show, she said, made her feel special.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just so cool seeing all the other college students with their stuff on,\u201d Braziel said. \u201dPeople you don\u2019t even know are so happy for you. It was very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve watched it enough \u2014everybody else seems like they know what they\u2019re doing, and I don\u2019t know anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Braziel said she remembers as a kid watching contestants and saying, \u201cNo, that\u2019s not the right answer. You\u2019re not thinking.\u201d Now that she\u2019s been a contestant herself, she said her perspective\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n \u201cI can see how people get nervous because everybody\u2019s watching. There\u2019s cameras everywhere. There\u2019s workers everywhere. It was definitely surreal to see it in real life. Because as a kid, I was just like, \u2018That was easy. Why didn\u2019t they get that?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Neriah Braziel’s experience on “The Price is Right” is a testament to the excitement and thrill of being on a game show. With the support of her college president and the recognition of her school, Braziel’s experience is one to remember.<\/p>\n This reporting is part of the Future of North Texas, a community-funded journalism initiative supported by the Commit Partnership, Communities Foundation of Texas, The Dallas Foundation, the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Regional Chamber, Deedie Rose, the McCune-Losinger Family Fund, The Meadows Foundation, the Perot Foundation, the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and the University of Texas at Dallas.
