Shell Game "Cheater"

[Teddy]

Here's a classic playing of Shell Game, in which a contestant cheats and gets away with it, too! Bob sums it up best with the rant heard around the world: "You've ruined my show, you've ruined my game. this would be exciting, but everybody knows the damn thing's not there!"

His reaction when she picks up the shell and finds no ball there: Priceless.

This is commonly called Shell Game "cheater," but I think it's pretty obvious the woman wasn't really trying to cheat.  She just didn't realize what she was supposed to do. She even tries to put the chip beside that shell after its obvious the ball isn't there, making it hard to argue she was cheating 'on purpose.'

Also notice that near the end, there's no buzzer as usual when Bob removes the shells that do not have the ball underneath, and that the bell rings by mistake when he removes the second one. Even the soundman knew she had already won, so he probably thought it would be mean to buzz her on the reveals. Without a doubt, this has to be the wackiest playing of any pricing game ever in Price is Right history!
