Most Insane Game Show Scandals 

I have to say -ahem - you're right

I like this

Hello anti gacha police here just checking to see if it's all ok

I agree and they are a business so of course they want to profit.

Those people actually got their prizes didn’t they?

And the contestants are nut jobs- all of them acting like fools for a chance at 2 grand that will go really fast.

@@xxwhispersxx2856 lol that’s true

One of my favourites was Chain Reaction

Idk how many times I can handle Steve Harvey’s reactions to contestant answers

Anyone remember Lingo?

Yeah, I was surprised that they didn’t mention this one.

Me too but glad they didn’t.. that’s been talked to death already.. literally lol

Yep, luckily the girl got creeped out at the last second and decided his vibes were off, so she didn't go to the date/getaway or whatever it was. She may have both literally and metaphorically dodged a bullet there. Idc what anyone says, vibes based decisions are absolutely valid. But, I digress.

And if won the million, after taxes....400k lol. Then when you file taxes for the previous year, you pay large percentage of taxes again on the 400k and after just 1 year, the 1 million really was just 245k lol

Yep. If people weren't uptight in regards to the language, the woman would've gotten her money.

I totally agree with the ruling of the show. People prior had made tiny speaking errors, pronunciation, and accent based flubs and the show denied them. This was just one that was so conspicuous due to the amount of money, and the point in the game when it happened. Since the game is based on accumulation of letters to spell and say a word or phrase, leaving one out is not playing correctly. Also, with all the naysayers pointing out that it was her "Southern Accent" just proves the show's point. Standard American English please.

For some reason it reminds me of the "popsicle bike" incident

@@NimrodClover They should ask her so spell the last word. This is about finding the winning frase not a how to pronounce it right and she probably meant it right. By spelling it we can be sure.

yeah If she was black riots would have started

Oh no. How did he lose that money? R.I.P to him.

@@AwkwardBlackGal613 Guy heard on the radio about some sort of challenge to get a cash prize, the radio would say a specific number and if somebody matched that number to a serial number on a 1 dollar bill they'd get the cash prize, Larson withdrew a total of 50 Grand (in 1 dollar bills) from multiple different banks, and... none of them matched. He was then robbed... all 50 Grand gone, robbers probably surprised they were all in 1 dollar bills. Not the end, though, after all that, he started a lottery scam, scamming 4 million dollars outta investors, and with the FBI and IRS on him, he went on the run. And soon after he ended up passing away from throat cancer.

@@thatdamnFERRARIguy That was surprisingly dark... I thought he just spent it all without a care (which I guess he technically did).

I mean, if he smart enough to be able to outwit them. I guess he deserves the money. At least, he kinda better than politician who get money but do nothing.

He did no wrong on what he did, it wasn’t in the rules and would had gone forever if he didn’t get tired. It’s a very sad/dark ending how he lost all his money trying to find two same $1 bills.

I agree and the game shows are just mad that people won too much of their money.

Tbf they can’t exactly take it back rightfully if it’s their fault in the first place. For once people made the smart decision

RESPECT

This seems like a comedy show gag but it actually happened.

Especially in the days of Bob Barker.

A mega oof

It was indeed the yanks just claim everything is theirs

This annoyed me too. He should correct it!!!

When did he say the American version was the original?

He sounded like the American was the original by saying that it caused spin-offs in different countries

Funny they mentioned that, I'm home sick from school today.

IKR

Well....one cheated and the other didn't. Just like that.

@Taurus1977 that show was called The Moment Of Truth. I remember the couple that you are talking about. The wife knew the questions were terrible and yet, she answered them all with the truth, and her husband was anything but thrilled

I found myself thinking the same answer as Randy. Great episode.

To keep their money

They were cheating when he was receiving signals from the audience.

Yeah. Having signals from the audience might be cheating.

Watched the entire documentary on that like a week ago. That was wild!!!!

Yes that's the name, I watched a documentary about the scandal, Ted told his friend to not say the exact amount because he knew something like this would happen

@@bobbyjason3295 Think you may have misunderstood. I'm saying that in this video, credit was given to the wrong individuals. The couple didn't memorize the numbers, Ted did. I have also see the full documentary and nothing was said about not saying the right price. There was confusion between Ted and the wife over the exact number Ted wanted her to relay to her husband. Noone was concerned with "what might happen." ted was a celebrity on the show long before this point and knew exactly what he was doing.

That isnt a real problem

They should just make everyone write down their guess and reveal them all the same time.

ik this comment is a couple months old but This is done by a entire production team not just one person

yeah the dedication is amazing to see!! so glad they put the effort in.

They have a whole team of people working together not just one person.

For sure. Would make a movement or something

axe and ask are different words. should be punished. unlike bath and barth or swimming and swimmin

Axe and Ask are completely different words. Of course the person would lose, as they should.

@@richardkranium2944 LOL!!

@@valkyrie9646 they are different words. But if some has an accent and pronounces it slightly different, but everyone including an attomton can figure out what your saying it should count. Also swimming and swimmin are the same word.. the ask and axe example are not the best.

I watched a documentary about the price is right scandal and yes I think he was banned from the show and the prices were completely randomized afterwards

I forget his name but he been studying the show for years and found the pattern. He even warned his friend to not say the exact amount and this happened

Oh yeah! I remember watching that episode!

Didn't the show get a little backlash from that. But then again I guess the rules state you have to spell the word correctly

Smart man

@@theblackryvius6613 yep, found a loophole in the lottery that no one else had ever exploited. I'm amazed that he got away with it so many times, though. Lol

I feel so sorry for her.

Just seems like a realllly racist situation waiting to happen. If it hasnt already

They say they can't do anything about the rules when they're the ones who made the show. Christ.

What? Americans being racist? Who would have thought?....

@@jaydiarie How is it 'racist'?

if I remembered correctly, they actually did in their past videos so go check that out

There’s a whole documentary

I don’t agree that he cheated. He just figured out their gimmick and happened to win big. That should not be considered cheating.

price is right!!!!

Mine is Jeopardy!.

I don’t really know

@@TheGarageEssentials same here.

America Says!

Game shows are never rigged. I work on them. It's a Federal crime to cheat. In fact, there's an independent compliance office on set to make sure everything is fair and square.

@@thejamesguide what is considered cheating though?

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Collusion mostly. Anything else is pretty much not possible nowadays.

@@thejamesguide they use to be but laws were passed a while back. Fun fact sports leagues are exempt from the these rules and are free to fake or rig things as much as they want. At least as far as im aware.

@@thejamesguide A Game Show would never give one guy easy questions, so he would have a good chance at winning the Million Dollar top prize and boost the ratings? Coulda sworn the first Million Dollar winner on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? was.

oh the famous named the dating game killer .
