Studio 33 - Price is Right Discussion > The TALK Is Right
So I take it TPIR is never going back to pre-covid ways?

Sorry about that. Understood.

I'm just gonna put this here, because you don't appear to know what you're talking about.
And then I'm gonna LOCK the thread, because I'm not going to waste any more of anyone's time trying to prove that to you.
EDIT: I've been asked by the OP to reopen the discussion, and I think it's a fair request. But Vahan, DO NOT barge into this again.

I have no inside info, but I suspect we're not going to see a return to the 290 person "anyone who wants to go can go" audience the show used to have. The reason is that there's no more Stan Blits. On days where they did 3 tapings, he had to do almost NINE HUNDRED (900) 15-ish second interviews and pick the 27 best. He loved doing it, but very very few people have that same love of people and ability to pick good contestants that he had. By having smaller pre-screened audiences, the show has more control over who appears on the show and they can spread the work around instead of having to do it all at once just before the taping begins. I hope I'm wrong about this, as I think it was better with a full audience. But I don't think I am.

I was thinking the same thing...especially with taping three shows a day, it seems FAR easier to have the pre-screened audience than doing interviews. Quicker to load the audience, seat people where you want to seat them. Just seems like a faster, more efficient system. Again, I hope we are wrong, but from many different angles, it makes for an easier production.

As someone currently going through the process, it's easier on the contestants too.
