[@bruceleeroy8302]

Wait. So on the money drop show, they got the answer right but lost, and the show was just going to make them do it all over? How about just giving them the $800k+ that you *owe* them?

[@mncdssctn9110]

Bruce Leeroy It doesn't work that way. There's no way to know if they would've lost the money later on in the game, so letting them play again was the most fair option.

[@MusicLover12499]

We'll cause that means giving away 800k. No one ever wants to do that.

[@jlcii]

Yet conveniently when the guy on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire didn't "legitimately" win because his wife coughed, he was forced to pay it back AND pay a fine. So the contestant better not cheat, but the show can? I call bullshit.

[@MusicLover12499]

Jo Co I mean, they wouldn't be anywhere if people didn't play them. No contestants, no show. I myself would never play on one of these shows cause I know I'd be one of those unlucky people.

[@RedDrago]

Pretty sure what they meant was to play again from where they left off, not from nothing.

[@TurdleyCorn]

So the couple who lose $800,000 on Million Dollar Money Drop were found to actually have the correct answer, so the producers of the show invited them to play again? The fuck? In football, when an incomplete pass is ruled to be a touchdown on review, the refs award the touchdown. They don't fucking invite the offense to try again.

[@Sharkie626]

You cannot compare a game show to a football game.

[@TurdleyCorn]

I can compare a game show to a football game. I just did it. They are both forms of organized games with a system in place to rectify errors made by judges/refs. The one they use for football is good, and the one they used for Million Dollar Money Drop was bullshit. But if you really need a closer comparison, how about Jeopardy? If an answer is initially ruled wrong on that show but the judges late declare it right, the contestant is awarded the fucking money.

[@mooncat429]

An TurdleyCorn is right they should have just given them the money they deserved... they already went though so much losing that money they could pay bills or debts they have or buy a home to start a family if they wanted too

[@paulmccloud9395]

Apparently they lost everything else on the next question. Probably the fairest thing to have done would be give them the correct result (winnings) from the post-it question, invite them back but have them start at the next question in line, not from the start. After all, they could still have lost it all further down the line.

[@ihatethehaters7004]

TurdleyCorn for me if I was in there position I Won't accept to play again, for what to lose again? NO!! I will sued the Game Show and I will gonna take my prize money..

[@brittanyr9471]

I would've been furious if I lost because of my accent. As she said, she clearly knew the g was there because she asked for it.

[@Shastasnow]

Yeah, that does seem hard. I feel people have such a bias against accents. Though she totally mumbled that and dropping the "g" does greatly affect the sound of the word.

[@dytgames1605]

ikr right!!!

[@seguin3]

Im sorry, I have no sympathy. You cannot add the word "and" on the crossword puzzles even though every sane person would add "and" to a list of words. The same goes for pronunciation.

[@flamingsickle]

[@steveescher1554]

im from philly, we pronounce water, wooder, and id say it that way without thinking twice haha also no one i kno would pronounce that G, it actually sounds strange to me when people pronounce the G haha

[@deadpwner99]

the million pound drop should have given them the money not another fucking chance thats like saying we stole the stuff you made but we are gonna give you another chance to make it

[@cadenrolland5250]

I would have accused the show of cheating since their supposed "mistake" made them $80,000 and they had no intentions of giving it up even though the rules said that they should. They were like: Oops, we just made 80 grand, sorry. NEXT!

[@Djarra]

In the end they got a pay out from the production company after the show was axed.

[@katiekolman]

even worse when you realise it was 800 grand, not 80!

[@richrusch1616]

The ones that just simply studied a game show weren't cheating.

[@scarletnight4554]

exactly

[@alanguages]

100% correct. One time on "The Price is Right" a contestant stated the exact bid to Bob Barker for a prize after gaining the initial getting up on stage. He said to Bob he knew the exact price, because the exact same item was presented on the show a couple of weeks back. Sure enough that is what happened. Bob enjoyed it, as the contestant was right. What is a person suppose to do, never have watched the show and not understand anything about it? Apparently those same game show producers and hosts don't like it when contestants use their analytical skills of their brain.

[@Lurker1979]

Amen.

[@kyuven]

Which is why they were allowed to keep their winnings. The only folks that lost their winnings were the actual cheaters (or the people screwed by spelling errors or wrong pronunciation)

[@DreamBelief]

They weren't called cheaters. The video says they were initially suspected of it until it was found that they hadn't. They were never penalised for precisely this reason. This video doesn't report cheaters solely. It reports all different scandals. It was one at the time because it was so unbelievable.

[@canadiens5]

That guy on Price is Right didn't cheat. He just did a lot of research which is not illegal. In fact it's pretty smart. And that dude on Press Your Luck didn't cheat either. He saw a flaw in the game and used it. That's not cheating and it's the producers' fault for allowing it to happen. And the black couple on money drop, they should have just had the $800,000 given to them and not re do the show.

[@gametips8339]

Nobody said he was cheating. The video is about scandals. Scandal involving him is what actually happened afterwards because of the money he won.

[@mscowardcurve5098]

Ik because what if they lost on their second shot on the money drop, then they wouldnt have got the money they earned on their first shot, they should have just gave them their original win to be fair

[@magicmulder]

They should just have let them restart their game at the point where they "lost".

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

That couldn't be an option. These game shows are very complicated to set up and shoot, you can't just restart where you left off without tons of things needing to happen behind the scenes. They didnt' know about the research error until after the show was over and the couple was sent home already.

[@davidhenderson3400]

Maxxx Modelz They were cheated out of $800,000 no mater how you look at it.

[@DevilboyScooby]

WTF just give them the 800k, not "another chance", they won that money fair and square.

DevilboyScooby - They lost all their money on the next (final) question, so it's a non-issue.

[@sweetpeach3293]

@@ChuckD79 I'm confused how did they lose the next question? Weren't they eliminated from the game after the money drop?? I've never seen this game show before, so I don't get the rules.

[@nancyomalley6441]

[@Zulfar-bd9tc]

This is not a video about cheating, it is a video about scandals. What part of a woman getting fired for being pregnant as part of this list made you think this video is solely on contestants cheating?

[@robertoshino5019]

it's not a scandal either, he prepared and he knew his shit. there was nothing morally or ethically wrong about what he did

[@Flutterbutt225]

But there was a "scandal" in that the producers felt there should be an investigation and it was made public. It was a topic of conversation for some time.

[@ansahs]

That's right it's not, otherwise studying for and then passing a test is cheating or learning about a company before a job interview is cheating.

[@angryjbirds]

Wtf that couple on money drop should have just gotten their money

[@gmannumerouno]

angryjbirds That's what I said.

[@kinggamer19]

the funny thing is this isn't the first time they got in trouble. They eventually ended up canceling the show after more than 3 people lost on the show due to the gameshow not giving them the money for the right answer

[@dsahgkg]

they should had been sued...

[@ShadowSora8491]

Agreed.

[@sendrakes4203]

Given another chance? Lamest decision could also even be racist towards. They were obviously correct and deserved their win. IF they didn't sued, then it's definitely their lost, cos they have every right for their money.

[@Detroit_Dawg]

I don't get the Jeopardy one. I've seen so many misspelling on that show over 20 years and they have been given the correct answer. Alex even pronounced it correctly when he read it. I say that kid was cheated. Either allow misspellings or don't.

[@Sharkie626]

It's the judges who make the call, not Alex.

[@Detroit_Dawg]

Sharkie626 I know the judges make the call, I never said Alex did, and I believe it was a bad call. Like I said, they have allowed misspellings before, why not now? Everyone knew what he meant.

[@dijjmann]

Nysguy2003 I've seen them accept many misspelled words as long as it's phonetically correct. I've also seen them not accept poorly spelled words. Unfortunately his spelling was not phonetically possible to say the word correctly. Would I have let it go if I was a judge? Probably because the kid couldn't win 1st place anyways unless the leader bet most of his money and got the answer wrong, which would of been a surprise. Sorry, I'm rambling.

[@HeatherCoste]

Nysguy2003 I think on kids jeopardy they focus a lot on spelling. But now they are that I think about it I've heard plenty of accepted answers that were mispronounced and seen many misspelled. Although they didn't let wimbleton slide

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

[@getlefty82]

The man on Price is Right didn't cheat. He and his wife just did their research but the one on who wants to be a Millionaire was so obvious. I'm surprised they didn't notice it earlier!

[@upland77]

The producers of the show noticed it as it was happening. There are documentaries on that episode. No way the cheaters were gonna get away with it.

[@theendofit]

they cught it very fast. you see in the back they cant hear the cogh in fact if it had aired on tv neather would you. the audance mic is muted 99% of the time. but they found the way he read questions and changed his mind suspicious. so they started looking for how he was cheating as they were sure he was. they were pretty sure it was the cofeing and ened the show for the night and had him come back on the next night. this gave them time to set up and watch it happen. when he won they already knew he had cheated and were planing what to do next. it was just playing along when they gave him that cheack and congragulated him. they were not going to call him out in front of the crowed.

[@nhatminh3005]

Number 1 wasn't a cheat, he just had a great memory and was dedicated enough to put the time in. It's like when casinos call card counters cheats; no they aren't, they have simply learned to play the game better than anyone else. Cheating should be defined as using tools that are not available to anybody else and do not belong in the game. Your memory should never fall under that category.

[@gametips8339]

Card counting is cheating. You are not supposed to know the changing ods as the deck progresses. That is not the part of the game. Ideally you want to reshuffle the deck after each game to avoid that. But that ads time and complicates things. Its best if everyone is civil and just don't use card counting instead. Nova days this is solved by dealers having multiple decks for example and using automatic reshuffles which makes it impossible to card count.

[@magicmulder]

> You are not supposed to know the changing ods as the deck progresses. Then whoever organizes the game should take appropriate measures. That's like claiming a soccer team that has won the first leg 3:0 should not be allowed to play defensively when the score in the second leg is 0:2 (because they know they are winning on aggregate). Well, if that is the intention, don't allow any player who participated in the first leg to play in the second, duh.

[@1bossofbosses]

Anything you do to remember or detect patterns is not cheating. Outside help or given answers is cheating and rigging a game. If i remember a pattern thats my hardwork or remember answers that is my hardwork.

[@paul1979uk2000]

Yeah I know what you mean, a gameshow called the Chase is rigged like hell in the UK, chances of winning anything on that show is so small that it's not worth going on that show because you either win something or nothing at all and 9 out of 10 times it's nothing. What makes it worse is the Chashers that seem to know more or less depending how much money is on offer, I feel they already have been given the answers because they walk out and back on Stage with each contestant, in other words, they have a chance backstage to memorise the question that are on there way. Another indication that the show is rigged is that some of thoes chashers went onto the American version of the show and to say they did poorly on the questions is laughable at best and insulting at worse, so they should rename the show as the Cheat not the Chase lol. Oh and another little thing I've noticed is how Bradley, the host speeds up or slows down saying the questions depending if he's asking the contestent or the chasher and depending how much money could be won.

[@KevinSterns]

Exactly right Morgil. It's a clear rule - you can get spelling in final jeopardy wrong but NOT if it changes pronunciation. If they gave it to this guy they'd be cheating the two other contestants.

[@ChuckD79]

It's been a federal offense to rig a game show since 1959...also, the rule on Wheel is that you have to pronounce every word in the puzzle correctly when attempting to solve, while the responses in Final Jeopardy likewise have to be spelled correctly (case in point: back in 1997, a contestant wrote the answer "Buenos Aire" down, minus the final S, and after initially being called correct by Trebek, the judges overruled it b/c of the missing letter).

[@KingRumar]

#2 - they gave him the money after a bit of research, figured well he DID figure out the game. They actually applauded and admired him for his efforts to figuring out the game's patterns because it's not only randomized but it's got several very different patterns. To be able to switch between each randomized pattern, knowing exactly when to hit the button (there was a delay, first couple of chances he figured out when to hit it), and knowing which pattern it's on at the time... I mean he sat there consistently winning while the other contestants could only watch. The documentary is on youtube as well, I strongly recommend watching it.

@@51dani Jeopardy allows contestants to misspell words as long as it doesn't change the pronunciation. Emanciptation shouldn't count, it wasn't just misspelled, it changed the word by adding the first T. Had the kid spelled it emancipayshun, he would have got the answer right. This seems fairly basic. The irony is that it wouldn't have mattered. The kid still would have come in 2nd place had they given him the answer, a point nobody outraged by this one seems to understand.

Lie detectors (or polygraph as it's correctly called) aren't bullshit, they just are nowhere near as accurate as some people suggest (70-90% is a figure I've seen mentioned), which is why they are not admissible as evidence in court. The results can also be affected by drugs, alcohol and certain medical conditions. The reason it's not properly called a lie detector is because it doesn't detect lies, it just measures certain physiological functions and relies on a person to interpret the measurements and make an assessment of whether a lie is being told or not.

[@NickCC23]

The scandals of the 1950s were the biggest in game show history.

[@ITheLoZKingI]

#9 still gets me heated when I think about it. If speaking in the "vernacular" makes a guess invalid, then there shouldn't be any puzzles where speaking with an accent that qualifies as "vernacular" would make a difference. A person isn't going to change their accent just to say a sentence, especially when they're not aware of the ruling that makes certain accents basically illegal in the game's terms. One of the dumbest rulings ever. It basically means that if you have an accent that causes you to not pronounce every letter in every word, you shouldn't even bother trying to get on the show. Way to show what kind of people you prefer to be on TV, Pat.

[@codylemasters6746]

i totally agree, you could easily see that she was saying the right word, even if you didn't have an accent, when your in front of the public view, and you have a time limit, you're first thing isn't to think if you're saying it right, you try to answer as quickly as possible, it was a really lousy thing to do!

[@TheJaggedCarpet]

I agree with their ruling. Contestants are told to say the words slowly and precisely, and she left out a letter at the end. It doesn't matter if she has an accent, she still left out a letter. I'm glad they stuck to their ruling.

[@sakuraogami6885]

Question_Mark It wasn't even on PURPOSE.

[@csilabillabilla]

"Leaving out a letter'' is a bogus argument. Does anyone pronounce the h in "she"? No. We still know it's spelled like that, though. Words have (usually) one written form, and one or more standard pronounced forms. But they also have alternative pronounced forms (such as the ones used in different accents). She used an alternative form, and unless the rules specifically state that you have to use General American or Received Pronunciation or whatever, she had every right to do so (plus even that alternative form is not wildly different from the standard one). And let's face it, we all knew what she was referring to. There was literally no ambiguity, especially since the G was written on the board. (It just sort of makes me think that this is exactly like if you'd penalize a British person speaking RP, because they said the modal verb "can" the way they say it, rather than the American way, because that should be spelled "khan" or something in American, so they got it wrong.)

[@killerb255]

Yes, they do. It's called a consonant digraph. The s and h put together make a different sound than, say, an s and a k, where both the s and the k are pronounced (that being a consonant cluster). This isn't the first time this happened on Wheel of Fortune. Search for David Duchovny and Tea Leone Wheel of Fortune.

[@scajk29]

Scandal does not always = cheating.

[@WarioBarker]

The big scandal with #10 was twofold: * For one, Drew and the staff overreacted to the simple fact that somebody managed to bid perfectly on a Showcase, an event that last happened in 1973 or '74 and awards nothing that any other bid in the Double Showcase range does. Drew later stated that he thinks it was retaliation by "fan groups" because they'd just recently fired longtime producer Roger Dobkowitz, which is pretty clearly not true and certainly doesn't excuse his non-hosting of that final segment (if you have legal concerns, you sell the moment now and sort things out post-taping). * Secondly, the fact is that Terry Kneiss didn't come up with the price himself - Ted Slauson, a longtime fan of the show who had previously been a contestant and attended over 30 tapings, had signaled the price to Terry...which, despite being completely legal, resulted in Ted being permabanned from the show.

[@CrystalCat24]

Duh, there's a documentary about it.

[@Sosaman66]

Drew thought that somebody had "hacked" the show because every game was won that day and there were like 2-3 perfect bids in contestants row as well, they were absolutely killing it. Then came the perfect showcase bid and it all came to a head. Normally there's a 3-4min break before they tape the final segment showing who won the showcase, but in this case it was more like 45 minutes because the producers thought for sure something was up, but they couldn't prove otherwise and just went ahead. Drew seemed downtrodden when reading off the perfect bid because he thought he was gonna get fired or the episode wasn't going to be aired at all.

It's not nonsense, the wife in the audience and the friend in the inner circle were found out being in cahoots with the guy in the hot seat. The idea was to win the million, split it between the three of them. The inner ring and audience are welcome to look up the answers as long as they don't share the information. They coughed every single time the correct answer was read out loud (which he would give them adequate amount of time to look it up, he would repeat the words and wait for the cough) and at one point one of them even whispered "NO" when the guy in the hot seat was CERTAIN it was a different answer. That's what solidified the game show's staff's suspicions. They said they never heard any coughs, wouldn't meet with police but were more than happy to appear in a tv show's interview, which in turn the stories changed where all she needed to do was clear her throat. It wasn't JUST the game show's crew who figured out they were cheating, some of the other contestants knew they were as well. That's why you see a few not applauding his victory at all.

[@rocketlioness]

two words: MATERNITY LEAVE.

[@NoNameC68]

Monisha Das "having a kid is a right a person has!" A right is the choice we have to do something without government prohibition. Her right to have a child wasn't violated. "if in corporate a women gets maternity leave then why is the entertainment industry any different?" She was paid maternity leave. She wasn't booked after returning, which is the right of the company. I don't know why they didn't want to book her, but it's their choice. She's not entitled to that job. If she wanted her job secured, she should have stated it in her contract. "Are you saying that denying that one's income is a price a woman has to pay for having a child?? THATS INHUMANE....how would you feel if your mother lost her dream job because she got pregnant with you??" Sure, it would suck. But I don't have a right to mandate how people run their businesses. "and dont give me this great body required bullshit!! Alot of models get their body back within few months and they are back to the same....I feel an adequate maternity leave is a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT for all woman" You are aware that a part of having a job is getting paid to WORK and PRODUCE, right? I'm not against maternity leave. But some people can't afford to pay for an employee who isn't working. Now, The Price Is Right doesn't have this problem, they can easily afford to pay her maternity leave. But my point is that, no, people shouldn't be entitled to other people's money. Maternity leave is something that should be at the discretion of employers and agreed upon during hiring.

and it wasnt a big deal to even call it a scandal.. Its the producers that made a fuss over it before figuring out he 's been studying the show. They should have kept their mouths shut while investigating and then just say, 'buddy found a way to beat us at our own game'.

[@airtempest8945]

Stephen P Well, you pressed your luck...

[@charliezakaszewski3754]

The fact that the couple got the answer right and still didn’t get the money is outrageous. I think they could get away with suing Million Dollar Money Drop

[@vukognjanovic4306]

Wait if the coughing wife knew every answer why didnt she just compete instead

[@parrotantics2046]

Probably she appeared in the show before her husband and won 32 000 pounds... At least that can be found in this unaired episode.

[@parrotantics2046]

InoshiKenshi Now I know that. "Major Fraud" contains shots of her gameplay.

[@ChuckD79]

ParrotAntics - And instead of being happy to win £32K, she seemed dismayed that she didn't win more than her brother-in-law in his appearance, which netted him the same amount.

[@quasarsphere]

She wasn't the one coughing.

[@parrotantics2046]

quasarsphere I disagree. The footage has shown her taking a cough twice at 10th question.

[@lillyie]

if preparing is cheating, every single game in existence was cheated because contestants trained for them

[@MrJambola123]

If you're a model on a gameshow you're hired to stand there and look pretty and maybe other minor stuff being pregnant directly get's in the way of that

[@stewydoo]

I don't know, pregnant women can still be rather attractive. I would ;)

[@kkplac5886]

it actually looks adorable to a lot of people...they just go "aaaawww....she`s expecting...that`s just wonderful"...and Stuart Hancocks ur absolutely right they can still be attractive

[@MegaMoose1989]

Pregnant women have a beautiful healthy glow to them.

[@ad240p]

+Zenakx DB Because everyone thinks of having sexual intercourse with a model...

[@dankburrito4219]

MrJambola L Fuck you, I love pregnant bitches.

[@bruhsselsprouts3986]

I watched that episode of jeopardy with my family and I saw after Alex was so fucking harsh on the kid, he looked angry and almost crying, like wtf just cause he spelt it wrong he got the fucking answer right

[@bruhsselsprouts3986]

And also another shot to play, are you fucking kidding, they won 800,000 they should get their money why do they have to attempt to get the money they won back

[@codylemasters6746]

i definitely agree!

[@dolphignition7176]

@Spartan 300 You are right on the Money Drop - they should restart their game where they left off rather than start all over again - however as far as that kid on Jeopardy goes, it's honestly a lost cause because the kid would have still settled for Second Place EVEN IF he spelt it right - just look at the final score on the kid on the left's earning!

[@e1iteyoshi998]

This is how I see it the issue with Jeopardy: while it's true that in the end he only would've ended up winning 2,000 dollars for his placing in the tournament, I think also it's the way that the show handled this issue that made people be pissed off with Jeopardy. Sometimes game show hosts can be ignorant of feelings of kids like this one, regardless of intentions. Plus the fact that it was a kid doesn't help either. But also the way that the kid who was acting didn't help either. But then again he's a kid who just a major tournament you can decide how to feel about that detail right there.

[@wooza5919]

the second one isnt really a scandal its just good observation and hard studying

[@toddles9]

7:43 They misspelled 'discrimination'. Lucky they weren't on Wheel Of Fortune lol.

[@reeseslightning11]

What's even creepier about #1 is that his victims' families were probably watching the show and maybe even rooting for him, not knowing that he killed their family until later. Truly sickening all around.

[@Kayla-lz6ry]

I don't get how number 10 was a scandal

[@ichugbacardi151]

Dude was a fucking murderer haha

[@92397]

+ichugbacardi151 no 1 was the murderer

[@Mskittenlover12]

I didn't understand that either.

[@kurzackd]

me neither. He just made a really lucky guess. So what? The chances of that happening are much, much higher than, say, winning the lottery, which people do on a much more frequent basis.

[@glennstarkey7087]

there were many conspiracy theories (which were not mentioned) mostly because Drew's response was all but furious...the main was was the producer dropped hints to both contestants as a FU (wouldn't be rigging as both got info fairly...hence why the other bid was near the DSW win.

[@staomruel]

I can't believe that was the million pound question. Cursory knowledge of scientific terms an Decepticons should be enough to call that an easy one.

[@Xaviator619]

I can't believe a serial killer was on the dating show as bachelor number one and no one new until later, now that's FUCKED up.

[@jackdonohue7893]

8:07 I would think this would be #1 since a whole movie was made about it.
