Producers momentarily screwed up again. The guy said 1750, and at first, it was 1700 on the screen, and if you watch closely, it flashed to 1750 right as the camera moved.

@jasonkyleadams7577 24 күн бұрын

Contestant Scott said 1750 and Bob repeated back 1700. You could tell Scott noticed the mistake and likely just accepted it (sensing Bob's frustration with the previous bid). The producers caught Scott's original bid and corrected the display. He would have only lost by $2 on his original 1700 bid.

Ugh! Skeeball to win ANYTHING is a no-win situation! This game is worse than Three Strikes! SMH

@gameshowfanatic Ай бұрын

All of the chaos caused Bob to reveal the day's game list. Wait until you see what happened in 3 Strikes +. Until they went with digital screens, they never did add the fifth digit for those kind of bids.

Who is the producer guy on the phone with? at 3:43. Is he calling to order an extra large pizza for himself? What could be more important for this minute that he needs to be on the phone?

@wintercame 25 күн бұрын

He's calling the show's electrician to wire the board for an extra numeral, pronto.

@andyrose5616 4 күн бұрын

That’s the phone to the control room. He may have been talking to the Standards and Practices representative of the network to decide what to do about the fact that the contestant made an impossible bid and then tried to correct herself.

⁠⁠The judges of the show, are always right there, just off the stage. That’s the way it is with Jeopardy, Family Feud, Password, Match Game etc. etc: The fact that the digital displays, did not go to 5 digits is not an “all of a sudden” emergency. (That’s the way that the displays have been since the 1970s) If it was a surprise emergency, then the heavy guy would’ve been on the phone in the first minute with the problem (which he wasn’t) “Standards & practice” are usually when there’s something that is a “network”sensitive, that is a debate whether to get past the network sensors or not. - The shows are recording in advance. So something that is an error on the show, can be resolved later on, and they usually invite the contestant back on. - Often on the end of Password on the shows from the 1980s, I often hear “due to a programming error technicality, one of the questions was discarded and replayed. - I just found it humorous that he’s on the phone, while Bob Barker’s having a tantrum and trying to get the issue resolved. The fact that someone guessed a price of 5 digits, for a price of a $1,600 motorcycle back then, technically, Bob should’ve said: “the highest bid, can only be $9,999”. - Something like this, probably happened more than once They just happened, to show this on the air, due to the humorous & absurdity with that lady’s ridiculous initial bid.

It still fascinates me how a show that was literally half commercials could be so successful.

What tv show isn't half commercials, though? David watches them for the feminine hygiene ads so he knows what products to buy.

What's interesting is she corrects herself, saying, "One thousand" and Barker ignores her. If he'd listened to her, she would have won the prize.
