Seriously
Web sites for game shows??!! Put down the chips, cookies, bon-bons whatever, hoist your a$$ off the couch and GET A LIFE !!

Next thing you know there will be web sites for wrestling and soap operas.

In the interview, Kneiss said he added up the items on his own and got no help from shouts coming from the audience.

And now the story has *two* douchebags involved. Or a douchebag and a liar. Pick one.

Let us see in due course if this gentleman continues to protest too much.
I suspect he will in the interest of prolonging his fifteen minutes of fame.

Kind of like how some college athletes do all their course work "on their own".

Damn, it's like a confusing game of 'Switch'. I really think Ted is the Douchebag, and Terry is the Lair. I will not Switch.

No, Studio 33 is the Lair. Or The Carol Burnett Studio, if you will.

Hmmmm...Ted the Douchebag, Terry the Lair, where's Joe the Plumber?

Sadly, on his book tour.

[BillCullen1]

Yeah, he did it on his own and has a hearing problem. Right, and William Shatner's the best celeb player on Million Dollar Password.

I wonder if anyone has brought to Terry's attention the fact that the version of the episode uploaded at cbs.com doesn't have that convenient little Drew zoom-in right at the moment where he's looking out into the audience and mouthing numbers to himself.

What an ass.

I had to feel sorry for the other contestant, though.

Strange cutting on that showcase:

(SINGLE OF SHARON ON CAMERA 2) I'm gonna go ahead and pass.

(THREE SHOT ON CAMERA 1) Terry, what do you bid for all that?

(SINGLE OF TERRY ON CAMERA 2) Terry looks at audience.

(TWO SHOT OF DREW AND SHARON ON CAMERA 1 -- TERRY IS FRAMED OUT) If it would have been an 18-foot trailer she might have bid on it.

(SINGLE OF TERRY ON CAMERA 1) Twenty three thousand seven hundred forty three.

(THREE SHOT ON CAMERA 1)

My opinion: they digitally enlarged the three-shot on camera 1 to frame out Terry getting his bid from the audience when Drew says "If it would have been an 18-foot trailer she might have bid on it". IMO there was definitely some work done in post. Terry did something they didn't want us to see.

For anyone who only saw the TV version and wants to compare:

The episode at CBS.com

Jump ahead to about 33:20 (you'll have to wait out a couple of ads).

Asterisk, anyone?
