21 Things 4 Students. Woman’s lifelong dream to honour mom on The Price is Right marred by cyberbullying. TORONTO — When 30-year-old Shawna High walked onto the set of The Price is Right in Los Angeles earlier this year, she never thought she’d be the subject of international criticism for mistakenly thanking her friends in “Canadia.”
But she says that after facing blowback from the media and people around the world online, her critics need to understand the full story. “I arrived that morning super excited, nothing was working in my favour; I was late, parked in a tow zone to run across the boulevard to make the gate,” she said, adding that she then met two Canadian women and chatted with them as they waited in line. “We got to know each other, we talked, I told my story of why I was there and I eventually had everyone surrounding me rooting for me to be a contestant on the show.”
