“Unveiling the Hidden Truths: What Game Show Producers Don’t Want You to Know!”
Well, That’s Awkward
Once a woman in a wheelchair won a treadmill on The Price is Right. Host Drew Carey asked LA-based comedian Danielle Perez to “come on down.” She spun some wheels and guessed some prices and then she won some big prizes. Carey presented her with a sauna and a treadmill as prizes for winning a round of “1 Right Price.”
While Perez was genuinely grateful for her gifts, she originally thought the entire bit was a prank.
Piercings Or No Piercings
At the tribal immunity challenge for the final four players on Survivor: Africa, host Jeff Probst asked which female player in their season had no piercings. One contestant gave a correct answer and got the point. She went on to win the challenge, and eventually, she made it to the final two.
What the producers didn’t know was that another contestant on the season also had no piercings and when a contestant gave her name as his answer, he didn’t get any points. That contestant, who finished in fourth place, was later paid a settlement by CBS.
