Perfect showcase Terry: "I did it on my own!"

[rugrats1]

No doubt if the show was withdrawn from air due to collusion, the other 5 contestants and the three "contestants not appearing on stage" would have choice words for Terry and Ted as well.

I wonder if CBS could bill the door prize winners for their prizes if that episode never aired?

[Jimmy Owen]

Well, I think if CBS were to not air the show, the other contestants could receive their prizes anyway.

There have been occasions on other shows (CBS Card Sharks comes to mind) where a contestant had been ruled ineligible and a disclaimer added in post to announce that prizes to that contestant would not be awarded.

This happened on TPiR not too long ago. That guy also raised a stink.

And the show's still on, so said stink must not have had much of an effect.

Wasn't that the guy who was mad because he did not know that if you worked at CBS Affiliate, you are ineligible to be on a CBS Game/Reality show?

Can relate.

I just wonder if Ted relizes how big of a bullseye he has painted on his chest? He seriously needs to find other hobbies. That's just absolutely neurotic to even be doing what he did. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but you just don't do that. He probably got that whole golden-road board banned from the show now.

I think of it like being at the blackjack table. You're counting the cards that are coming out of the shoe to have the advantage in your favor. However if you get caught, you will be asked to leave.

Price is probably going to think twice now, before offering repeat prizes.

Which is really all this should boil down to.

I lol'd.

But, I can't believe he didn't know something like that (the contestant, not McNabb). I dunno, maybe it's just my TV side showing, but I would think he's at least seen a contest rulesheet somewhere and read fine print. Not necessarily from his affiliate, but any type of entry.

I don't think you can excuse it in either case, though.

In Mr. Ineligible's case, you're right- all he needed to do was read a contest entry form. In McNabb's case, all he has to do is look at the standings page- there's one extra column in the win-loss record tally for a reason, you know...

(Hey, if it got a chuckle...)

That comes off as a little much. Are you suggesting every member there happens to be a walking price encyclopedia like Ted and whoever the other guy was? I can guarantee you that isn't the case. I know, what, maybe two prices---the Campbell's Soup and the Danby wine cooler, the latter only because we have a running joke here of always bidding $999 on everything.

Trust me when I say Ted is a much more isolated case than you think.

Not in the least.
