Former Contestants Reveal The Dirty Secrets Behind Your Favorite Game Shows

21) The Price Can’t Be That Right

‘The Price is Right’ is another game show full of dirty secrets. Even though the host tells contestants they’ll go home with an outlandish prize, that’s not actually the case. Apparently, the contestants only get their prize after the show airs. This means that if the show never airs, then they’ll never get their prize.

Imagine winning a brand-new car, only to never see your episode on air?  That seems like quite the sneaky way to get contestants to compete. We wonder if they know they can’t take home their prize, otherwise, there might be a lot fewer people willing to participate (via Just Starz).
