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.

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.

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.

Odd that Drew would wrap up the story by saying the guy saved the show 10K. Sounds like a casino operation. The games are rigged against you, and makes me wonder if that invisible fishing line steers chips away from center.

You'd think they would test run a game of plinko while setting up

What kind of shoes did Bob Barker wear? I never really paid attention.

Mistakes have been made since Bob barker started and they always let people take the prize. You tube has all the old videos of people guessing exact prices fore prizes even whole show cases. These two host are so kind great entertaining people love drew and he will go forever we hope.
