Wear your clothes backwards? What does that have to do with anything? :D
This was actually a designated spirit day thing in sixth grade.

Congratulations, we all now feel old.

Child, please.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Hey, if you don't feel old that's terrific. :)

/apparently the lesson about respecting elders needed a little work.

If they could get the rights from Fedderson (or its successor)  they could call the lifeline "Do You Trust Your Wife?"
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I like this lifeline. I think this will bring some value back into the show. The show hasn't been the same since they got rid of Phone-A-Friend.

What, pray tell, brought you to that?

Thoughts?
I like it. I'd present the +1 like an Ask the Expert/Wise Men, where he/she would be backstage watching from some green room in the studio. Then when called upon by the contestant, the +1 would be whisked in to attempt an answer, then either back to the green room or to a seat behind the contestant.

So here's a question: will the choice of your companion now go through an audition process to make sure that they're as TV friendly as you?

OVER THE SHOULDER

You get to ask the person in the relationship chair what they think the answer is. (Similar to Second Chance on 21-2000.)

/used the same name as the 'net Millionaire lifeline
Coincidence?
