Shazam to get the answers with her ruse
busted the scam actually went down well
with the studio audience and was mostly
laughed off by the show’s host as well
as by a benya herself number 9 – flip
flop or not – flip flop The Price is
Right if you’re gonna play the game then
do it the right way maybe that’s what
host Bob Barker should have told this
flip-floppy cheater a contestant named
Brenton was tasked with playing flip
flop a game where the aim is to uncover
four digits of an item’s price via a
series of flipped and flopped squares
instead of doing this Brenton decided to
just press the button that reveals the

give Brenton the prize anyway there is
only one solution to this almost
insoluble problem I’m gonna give you the
prize get off this thing number 8 the
lucky letter wheel of fortune 1l guests

attempting to solve the puzzle but it
took this lucky contestant only one
letter to guarantee her victory I’ve got
a good feeling about this that’s right

19:08 good tamango like it was any later
than that
instead the contestant read the body
language eyes and cadence of the show’s
host Eddie McGuire since this isn’t
technically cheating
Kotani was allowed to keep his prize a
result that made this already smug
Melbourne law student very happy

number six getting gonged the gong show
[Applause]
the gong show was a cult hit for NBC but
never quite gelled with network
executives behind the scenes thanks
largely to the show’s chaotic
anything-can-happen atmosphere Chuck
Barris hosted the classic version of the
gong show from 1976 to 1980 and fit in
just fine with the array of everyday
people looking for their 15 minutes of
fame it was after the daytime version of
the show was canceled when Barris really
let NBC know what he thought of them
however singing take this job and shove
it during the show’s finale and flipping

episode number four
