That’s great to hear! Well, everything besides the angry standbys part.

They were still using seat fillers as recently as last month. Interested to see what summer tapings look like.

I was on Oct 17 2023… a LFAT, played Cliff Hangers and won over 8000 in prizes! I feel upset I didn’t make the list🙂

Fixed!

If anybody else needs to be added, let me know and I'll make sure you're included.

I went to two taping this week and both were full, with standbys being turned away, and no seat fillers

Good for them that attendance seems to be up.  My point remains, though, that, with half the audience there used to be, your odds are still better than before for just showing up.
Roger Dobkowitz's Seven Commandments of The Price Is Right:
1. Tape and edit the show as if it were live.
2. Never tell the contestant what to do.
3. Size matters. (The bigger the prize, the better the prize and the bigger the reaction.)
4. All prizes are good.
5. Never do anything on the show that would embarrass a parent with a kid watching.
6. Never put on a prize that would make the show look cheap.
7. It’s the game, stupid! (It’s about the game.)

I can finally talk about my appearance on this list! I'll have more commentary later.

Oops, that isn't true anymore
