I just happened to have it on tonight and wow that was really cool.  I recognized Anitra Ford right away.   She was always one of my all time faves.   So glad to see that she's doing well and looking still so beautiful.  I love how people (in this case, the panel) claim that they have seen the show but they always get The Showcase Showdown and The Showcases mixed up.
But there was one problem if you want to get really technical.  She was the original model of The Price Is Right when returned in 1972.  The original, original models were the ones from the 1950's version.  I was curious though if she remembered when she was on that they didn't even have The Showcase Showdown yet because the show hadn't expanded to an hour.  Still fun show.

They'd added it before she left (the hour expansion was in November 1975, she left in December 1976).

People have seen the show and can mix up the names. They know the basic gist, they're just not obsessing over whether a particular word applies to one and not the other, perhaps because the show is lighthearted entertainment, and memorizing minutiae is not atop their priority list

It does seem that would have been an interesting thing, had one of the imposters actually known the difference, for them to correct the panelists on.

It might make them think that that contestant was the real one (since you might expect the real person to know the "technical" differences more than an average person who was just there as an imposter).

That’s what makes the game so fun. Imposters may well know the facts, and the sworn truth teller might not. They can throw you for a loop.
