Like Monty saying "Which curtain do you want?" and a contestant then running across the stage and looking behind the curtains. [/quote]
Didn't this happen on an episode of Sanford & Son once (where somebody - I think it was Fred (Redd Foxx's character) - was on LMAD and looked behind a curtain to see what was behind it before trading what he had)?
As for the 3 Strikes "incident", I remember one where a contestant looked like she was trying to see whether she had a strike or a number, and Bob more or less gave her a warning; she did it a second time (with the last number needed for the car), and you could tell Bob was not overly excited that she had won. (And wasn't there a show from this season where the contestant had the strike and looked like he/she tried to drop it back into the bag before pulling it out all the way? I think Bob half-joked about what the contestant tried to do, and did count it as a strike.)
The closest I can think of to "cheating" besides those incidents was a woman playing "Pick A Number"; she told Bob what number she wanted, then (obviously misunderstanding the rules) she pulled up the correct number herself (but since it wasn't the one she had said, she lost).

"Bubba, I won a watch!" That was Fred all right...funny episode too, even though they somehow let him keep the watch*. :-)
