Happens all the time, and it infuriates me.

You’re probably right. I read that article awhile ago.

Press Your Luck was the shit. I loved that show back in the day. I still remember the guy who memorized the pattern and kept getting Big Bucks + a spin and had to come back multiple days.

Michael Larson (extremely sad I know that). GSN ran a special on him in like 2002-03, showed the system he used, and aired his episodes afterwards. If I could watch old Press Your Luck episodes of it now, I probably could remember how it goes after looking at it for a little bit.

ATL — Yes I did, I believe that was in Variety and they guy guessed his showcase to the dollar. People thought it was an inside job, very good read.

Anyone read that fantastic article about the guy who watched so much price is right that he knew the price of pretty much every item… Then actually got on the show and was so accurate (he priced the showcase within like $100 or something) that they thought he was cheating? Crazy.

yeah, i read about that. the show acted like a casino when they get scammed by someone gaming the system.

he priced the showcase within like $100 or something) that they thought he was cheating? Crazy.

If I’m not mistaken he got the showcase exactly right.

and since we’re on bob barker, cheech and chong’s let’s make a dope deal skit is high-larious

The taping of his final episode aired in first-run syndication on May 27, 1994. During the “Fast Money” bonus round, the five answers given by the second contestant each netted zero points.

Thought I was a loser until you walked up here. You made me look like a man.” Then, instead of mingling with the two competing families at the end of the show, Combs walked off the set immediately after his sign-off.

Wheel is straight forward and you can take in a pretty nice haul — too many variables in Price Is Right.

yeah, but with Wheel, you’re never invited to “Come on, Down!” with the duhduhduh duuuh music blaring, high fiving everyone, being a rock star who’s popular for guessing numbers.

Obviously if I knew I was going to do Plinko that is the #1 choice. But that odds of that happening are very high. Wheel is straight forward and you can take in a pretty nice haul — too many variables in Price Is Right.

The best game show to be on would be Wheel. Because the prizes are big and 2nd and 3rd keep what they win.

nope, the price is right. even w/o bob barker, i’d love to get my hands on Plinko.

…and the game is easy as fuck. They must weed out smart people from that show.
