The Untold Truth Of The Price Is Right
video description
Anyway, the hard evidence it has at least 'some' rigging, is comparing it to the Barker days of old. Do you remember how many times the four contestants would bid for the items, and they would all go OVER THE PRICE? You know, that annoying buzzer that would buzz twice? How did they get past that? They would tell you the minimum bid, and tell everybody to pick again, keeping in mind your bid has to be under that one. Has it ever struck you as strange that this, which happened fairly frequently under Barker, NEVER happens under Drew (I've never seen it anyway? The bidding is rigged in some way. I do not watch the show entirely, as I'm too sickened by it and the elephant I spoke about, and about the allegedly random picking of people to be contestants, which isn't random at all, to watch very much of it. The short of it is that the show doesn't have time for people all over-bidding, because they're too busy getting people to act like complete idiots to bother with unscripting the whole show. I never knew any of these problems with Bob's show, though back then I didn't record the shows with clarity, and in so doing can pretty easily pick some of their misdoings up. I would find it fascinating. at least if the elephant I have veiled, would appear on that show as well, but I have no way of getting at their daily shows to know for sure.

Wow, the number of factual errors in this one is astounding.
1) The 1972 version was a direct revival of the original series, which ran from 1956-65 as primarily a daytime series (a primetime version aired from 1957-64.
2) Mark Goodson and his staff may have copied the variety of games idea from Let's Make A Deal for the revival, but they did so well before CBS (and by extension Bob Barker) became involved with the show. The revival was originally pitched as a weekly syndicated show hosted by Dennis James, with a pitchfilm shot in mid-February '72. Said nighttime version ran eight years, with Dennis being replaced by Bob in 1977.
3) The last part of the show with the Showcases is the Showcase or the Showcase round. Showcase Showdown is the part with the Big Wheel.
4) Terry Kneiss didn't know the prizes back-to-front - that was an audience member named Ted Slauson, who was recently the subject of a documentary called Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much. Ted was also permanently banned from the show as a result.
5) Marc Summers didn't audition to replace Bob Barker - he wasn't even given the opportunity. As he stated in a recent interview, neither CBS nor Fremantle had any idea who he was.
6) Drew Carey didn't take the job outright. CBS offered him more money, to which he said Fine, but only if I don't have to audition, to which CBS agreed.
7) Absolutely no mention of any of the behind-the-scenes issues? Seriously?

Terry got paid for cheating, just in case no one wants to mention that detail.
Also, the prizes one can get from any game show, the taxes do have to be paid on them (until the tax system falls which WILL happen - not a matter of if but when, but one can indeed delay the payment and still receive the prizes, if the individual qualifies for the waiver period (I think it's four to six weeks depending on the base amount of the prizes won, and there is a certain threshold where if a contestant wins less than a certain amount, taxes are not applied, which is also the law (imagine having to pay taxes on a 200 toaster oven if that's what you won.
Speaking of the taxes on some of the prizes, there's a cap on how much the taxes can amount to, but that applies to everything, not just prizes won. In example, a 500, 000 Ferrari will not have more than 25, 000 in taxes (of course, that's beyond ridiculous anyway, which is the threshold of five percent maximum for initial taxation.
Beyond that, the taxes on said Ferrari will vary, and that goes into territory I've not a lot of knowledge in, but regardless, the taxes are still theft; you paid or won the prize, it is yours without strings attached, if we're to be one hundred percent moral here (taxation is theft and immoral - I will not be dissuaded since I was raised in a society that has no taxes at all.

I used to work for a game show company, and it was amazing how many times contestants tried to play oblivious about having to pay income taxes on the cash value of physical prizes even though that had been explained to them fifteen ways from Tuesday during the entire audition and casting process.
Contestant Coordinators: So, you know that if you win a 40, 000 car, the 40K will be considered income, and then you'll also have to pay state license, tax, and registration fees to the DMV based on that amount, right?
Contestants: Yeah, sure.
Producers, post show: Okay, so we need this I-9 form, and info for the 1099, and we're going to take X out of the money you won to cover the taxes on the prize values. Also, here's the address of the dealer you're going to work out all the car stuff with.
Dumbass Contestants: Wh-u-u-u--ut?
There was seriously at least one fist-fight started in the green room over this. Family from Texas, show title rhymed with Sets Fake a Feel.

This is FULL of errors. As someone who went on the show exactly one year ago (only as a viewer, but I have my name tag to proof it) they don't audition the studio audience members!
You just book tickets ahead of time and stand in line. A producer and assistant herds groups of people into a line, and chats with everyone briefly. You don't stand before a camera, or have to audition to simply watch it. That's ridiculous. (sorry, typo)

Interesting pool of game show hosts to choose as an heir apparent. In Tom Bergeron's book he said he was considered, but he would not have been allowed to do those night time versions because of his Dancing with the Stars commitments. Then announcer Rich Fields was said to be a serious candidate as well. I'm sure George Hamilton would have kept that senior demographic flavor, but would've been no Bob.

Actually for the car part, they did all of the work (after the California tax was paid) and sent the car across country to us in Florida after the show aired! Totally worth it - plus we received a good portion of the California tax in a refund due to income. Never take the small crappy stuff unless you really want it. Trying to sell it off is a bad idea.

The truth about Price is Right is that its just ads. Ads, ads, ads. Cleverly twisted into a game show. Your watching a giant commercial for several products. Its a fun game show but once you figure that out it changes everything. So you volunteer to watch a hour long show with dozens and dozens of ads and product placements.

What I would like to see is a person watch this video several times and then show up on The Price is Right. When it comes time for this person to win a car, they just don't react like people normally do because they know what it takes to actually win the car and take it home with them.

I like Drew Carey. But if CBS listened to Bob Barker, Marc Summers would have been excellent for TPIR because of his years as host of Double Dare and Couch Potatoes, where he had long time Barker Beauty Janice Pennington as a Guest!
