[@alexrompen805]

This is what I love about TPIR... they catch their errors, allow the contestant to keep the winnings, but also restart a contest to make sure its fair to everyone else on the show.

[@GenerallyTyler]

It's good to hear they let the contestant keep the winnings as it was their error.

[@JonesDylan874]

Yeah, because standards & practices.

[@bstory3196]

if they didnt I bet she would have told all and then OH boy the investigations after would be crazy

[@erepsekahs]

Legally she was entitled to it. If they had refused she could have sued them and won.

[@RancidAim]

@@erepsekahs And probably for much more, too.

[@allyourpie4323]

The Price Is Right has always had a policy of defaulting in favor to the contestant if anything goes too wrong, such as the 1986 shell game incident. Some people have used this to their advantage in obviously purposeful cheating moves. For instance, look up Flip Flop Cheater. From what I saw of him, Drew seemed particularly good at making sure people who had trouble were helped while still keeping their dignity, though Bob had some good television moments having fun with his frustration, heh heh heh.

[@annchovey2089]

$30,000 is a drop in the bucket for these game shows.

[@doddsino]

Exactly. Drew shouldn't act freaked out even if they lost an additional $10,000.

[@jackson5116]

you mean the underwriters, game shows are a show which only makes money, they don't pay or give away anything, underwriters do.

[@tequilacollins]

@@jackson5116 Depends on the show/contest. Often the underwriters only pay out big wins. But underwriters will def use loopholes to not pay. In this case, that the game was improperly managed means she didn't "win". The show producers 'could have' also used the same excuse declaring the previous chips null & void, but I imagine that the negative publicity would cost them more than the $30.

There was one thing about him that was mentioned in a youtube segment back in 2010, he had the Drew Carey Show and was on the price is right and whose line. But in all of this, and i'm not sure about this, and i could be completely mistaken and dragging him under the bus, but it was some sort of controversy that they were making a point about in the sense that he f*cked someone over, either a host/time slot/co-worker. But in all fairness i could be just as wrong and it was someone who was being contempt towards him and it was the other way around.

He said, "Yes, but only if you call me Drew." He was also with a very hot model that day. It's good to be Drew!

[@DorvellTStewart]

What other option did they have, considering it was their error?

[@robertcarly9183]

@@DorvellTStewart Some producers might have said sorry, board was rigged to win, start over. You don't actually get your prizes until after the show airs. If you win a car, you don't win the car on the show, you get a certificate to take to your local dealership and you can add options at your cost and pick the color you want.

[@doddsino]

@@robertcarly9183 Nope. Any time a gameshow screws up, it's on them. There's a code of ethics thanks to the scandals of the 1950's, so if there is something abnormal that happens, they usually either award the prize to the contestant, or they invite them back. That's only fair, especially since losing the prize is a drop in the bucket for the producer anyways. Now, if a contestant blatantly cheats like say on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, having an audience member cough to assist in providing the correct answer, then yes, they have every right to strip the prize from you.

Not classy, they messed up. Let me summarize the off camera discussion- “we f’d up and let her play a rigged game. If we don’t pay her she’ll sue us. It’ll cost 3 times the cost in legal fees. Paying the 30K is our cheapest option”

But at least they did the right thing and give her the 30k she had "legimately" won I guess.

[@DaLoveDonkey69420]

"they also probably thought he cost us $30,000" oh they most certainly did.

[@DorvellTStewart]

If, by some miracle someone manages to get all five chips and hit the $10,000 slot all five times, I can’t help wondering if it will immediately be investigated and if the powers that be behind the scenes will even allow it to air? I’d think they would, considering it’s the only “Price Is Right” game to have never been won in full, but I just don’t know.

[@tyvulpintaur2732]

[@southpark3372]

This is actually a good move on a game show. If the staff fixed the game for commercial reasons and they accidentally left it there, and the contestant is playing the fixed version of the game, the smart thing to do is to let the contestant keep his/her winnings because it was the staff’s fault for not double checking if the game is set up properly. However if a contestant were to rig the game somehow on purpose, then the staff won’t give the prizes or the money. I’m glad they did that to make it fair for the contestant and for the staff.

I respect both Drew Carey and Bob Barker but Alex Trebek takes the cake here. He chose to be the 'host' of Jeopardy instead of the 'star'. He was willing to be the butt of a joke, loved both Will Ferrell's portrayal of him on SNL and Kenan Thompson's Black Jeopardy skits. And he became a rare symbol in our society that encouraged intellectualism. I could have seen Alex Trebek popping up on random podcasts had he not succumbed to pancreatic cancer.

If TPIR didnt give the contestant the money they earned as a part of playing plinko, TPIR producers would go to federal prison. They would pay hundreds of thousands in fines. Game shows have federal agents who live on set to make sure that things are run legitimately.
