David Ruprecht In Tpir Audience (10/7/03)
« on: October 07, 2003, 11:06:17 AM »
Anyone see David Ruprecht of Supermarket Sweep fame in the audience on today's TPiR?  He was sitting in the front row and was seen right at the beginning of the intro.

Picture will be up later today after I finish taping the show. :)

It looked like it said David on his nametag, but I couldn't tell for sure as he was too far away for me to see clearly.

 I'm kinda surprised he wore a nametag, actually, but when you get down to brass tacks, I can't think of a reason he wouldn't be eligible, from a legal aspect.

 Including those who aren't eligible, or on the VIP list? That's what I was gonna do when I was gonna go down a few years ago...was gonna call ahead and explain that I worked at a CBS affiliate, and could they put me on the list.

Todd Newton has worn a nametag when he's visited TPiR.

When Ian Ziering was there to support Nikki, he was wearing an \"Ian\" nametag.  So yeah, it must be a rule if you're seated in the audience.  I'm sure the VIPs get a bemused kick out of it.

In the meantime, anybody think the good Mr. Ruprecht would like to throw his hat into the ring?  They could do worse than a -- let's face it -- virtual unknown to the mass audience who has tons of experience doing a show that is in many ways very similar.

From what I understand, the name tags always have your legal name, so the tag couldn't say Dave (unless that is his proper name.) It's always Robert, not Bob and William and not Bill. James Owen

 Isn't \"Ian\" a derivate of John?  As for David, consider this: Sweep has an abundance of mini-games, just like TPiR.  OTOH, on Sweep, he gets the benefit of a TelePrompTer.

  Well today Mr Supermarket Sweep had a nametag on that said Dave. I think if you are ineligible as a contestant they don't really care what your nametag says.

The rule is that the name on your tag must match what is on your ID (Driver's License, passport, etc.). Thus lots of Williams and Jonathans and so on...

As for guests... yes, all audience members (including VIPs) wear name tags. However, the rules on that are less strict, as those people are guaranteed never to win a prize.

The real question is why the nametag MUST match your ID...

Well, I'm sure that a lot of the reasoning is for the sake of consistency, since the name the announcer calls comes from what the contestants fill out while in line - on which they put their legal name.  Besides, I think it's also a handy way to keep people from trying to get away with out-there nicknames.  (\"His nametag says Johnny when his legal name is John.  Why can't mine say Cooter?\")
