    It is straight up BS when a gameshow tries to deny a prize just because the contestant is good. Things like coughing for answers is absolutely cheating and should be denied but things like remembering item prices and learning a pattern is just playing the game well.

    Worth pointing out that Millionaire's top prize did not normally grow for every episode, and the reason Ed's winnings were so much higher was because the show had not had a top prize winner for several months and instituted a jackpot that grew by $10,000 for each episode there was not a top prize winner.

    Michael Larson won by figuring out the patterns on the game board. He did that by recording episodes of the show and used his VCR remote to freeze the video. If you look closely at the lighted square which goes around the board, there were two places where Whammies never appeared. There were five different patterns and the lighted square was not random at all. He figured that out and won big. However, he lost all that money, and he passed away from throat cancer.

      @@AwkwardBlackGal613 Guy heard on the radio about some sort of challenge to get a cash prize, the radio would say a specific number and if somebody matched that number to a serial number on a 1 dollar bill they'd get the cash prize, Larson withdrew a total of 50 Grand (in 1 dollar bills) from multiple different banks, and... none of them matched.
      He was then robbed... all 50 Grand gone, robbers probably surprised they were all in 1 dollar bills.
      Not the end, though, after all that, he started a lottery scam, scamming 4 million dollars outta investors, and with the FBI and IRS on him, he went on the run.
      And soon after he ended up passing away from throat cancer.

      I totally agree with the ruling of the show. People prior had made tiny speaking errors, pronunciation, and accent based flubs and the show denied them. This was just one that was so conspicuous due to the amount of money, and the point in the game when it happened. Since the game is based on accumulation of letters to spell and say a word or phrase, leaving one out is not playing correctly. Also, with all the naysayers pointing out that it was her "Southern Accent" just proves the show's point. Standard American English please.

    I'd highly recommend watching the British Mini-Series "Quiz", which focuses on Charles Ingram and also see his side of the story as well as the courtroom case of ITV against Charles.
    Brilliant show and gives you a balanced insight, proving ITV are no saints either.

    I seem to recall that Van Doren wisely protected himself, by MAILING A LETTER TO HIMSELF, that contained the essential information regarding the cheating. In court, Van Doren handed the letter to the Judge, who then opened it, while noting the postmark on the envelope.

    The Price is Right one is actually false. The wife overheard the actual amounts from Slauson through the entire episode and she was yelling them to her husband all through the game. Once he actually started listening, he ended up finally on stage and won. The guy lied and said he had memorized them but he's a liar because it all Slauson.

    You missed the Dating Game Killer Rodney Alcala. He was spotted on the show by a detective investigating him. He was committing his crimes during the time he appeared on the show. And amazingly, he won a date with the girl contestant, but she luckily refused saying he was too creepy. Later he was linked conclusively to killing eight, but it's believed he's really guilty of as many as 130 murders.
