Priceline responded:

"Try Again Right Now

We searched hundreds of options to find your hotel room, however we can't accept your offer of $55 per room, per night. Your credit card has not been charged for Request Number ###. If you are willing to raise your price by $15, you can try the same request again right now.

Normally you are required to change additional items (add zones, star level, or dates) in order to try your request again. However we are able to extend this one-time opportunity to you because of the zone, quality level and dates you requested."

I declined the offer, because I knew that it was $5 higher than the minimum from a previous bidding I had performed.

So in order to immediately re-bid, I added Gatlinburg East to the Gatlinburg area I wanted to bid

Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $65.00

Travel Insurance: $5.00

Subtotal: $65.00

Taxes and Services Fees: $15.79

Total Charges*: $80.79

Accepted.

I had checked the HOTWIRE Price for this hotel. The Price was $79 at the 3* HOTWIRE-rated Park Vista Hotel

Amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business Center, Laundry

So PRICELINE saved me $14 over HOTWIRE :)
