My thoughts exactly. The title of the show still officially has "The" in it, and the entire post just seems amateurish.
Well the "the" really isn't a reason for suspicion. People on the show, including Barker himself, routinely referred to the show without that "the" over the years.
The grammar in that post is a bigger red flag. But I'm also wondering how you can automate sound effects, unless they're planning to try to edit them all in during post-production. The obvious problem with this is that there are games like One-Away in which the sound effects MUST be done DURING the taping and are part of the game play.
Beyond that, in terms of "producer greed," if this person is a CBS staffer already, how much money can she be making (and taking away from the producer's budget)? If she's a CBS employee, her salary is likely covered by the network, not the show.
Given the things she says in that post, the "problem" could be her attitude, not her salary. And if she's going to say that the show "used to be fun to work on but not anymore," then why would she
want that job back as long as she's still staying employed?
