[quote name=\'GS Warehouse\' date=\'Apr 28 2005, 01:57 PM\']We saw a woman named Margie Patrick a couple shows ago on Rafferty CS. Is it just me, or did we see her on another show? She looks a little familiar to me--maybe it could be because my mother wears her hair like that.
I have no doubt about a woman who's on that same show right now. Risha Golby, a retired 7-time champ on CS in 1979, has resurfaced (I do recall FF94 and MG98 allowed contestants from previous incarnations). The first game is in progress as I type this.

We know G-T reused a lot of contestants -
Blockbusters whiz Leland Yung had previously played
Password Plus, Kirstie Alley did both
MG and
Password Plus, etc.
Contestants on the shows also occasionally got full-time jobs - both
Card Sharks '86 dealers had previously been on G-T shows (Susannah Williams was a civilian contestant on
Super Password early in the run; Lacey Pemberton was on a "celebrity" version of
Family Feud - was she a model or a beauty pageant winner previously?).
Moral - in the '70s and '80s, when you went on G-T shows, you made nice to everybody, as a plan for the future.
