The series has a legacy which can be tarnished by this type of gossip.
Season 1 aired back in 1972. A game show with such a long and storied history is bound to have a few scandals, so the fact that former contestants are complaining about their experiences after the show isn’t that surprising, but some of their comments are shocking. When it comes to valuations for trips and other prizes, game show production teams should be honest and above board. While there’s no proof that anything these contestants are saying is true, this isn’t the first time that “overvaluation” talk has surfaced.
Redditors Spilled Some Tea About The Price Is Right
Are Show Producers Inflating The Value Of Some Prizes?
At Reddit, on a thread started by Medium_Pickle6174, as seen above, someone claiming to be a former The Price Is Right contestant talked about the fact that their trip to “San Francisco” was great. However, they felt that the getaway wasn’t really worth the value it was given.
I won a trip to San Francisco which was lovely, but considering I’m from Southern CA and have been to SF several times, it wasn’t as exciting as the trip I didn’t win to Montenegro, lol.
Tip: the trips are extremely overpriced/overvalued. So if you’re on the show, estimate the cost as if the most expensive travel agent in the world was booking it for you.
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
It’s fair enough that former The Price is Right players are speaking out – they have every right. However, there’s absolutely no proof that they really were on the show. Since this kind of gossip impacts a series’ reputation, it’s important to keep that in mind. Anyone can go on Reddit and say anything.
These Stories May Not Be True
However, It’s Possible Redditors Are Truthful





That being said, people on the thread did provide a lot of details about their prizes, making their stories seem authentic. Nonetheless, there’s no concrete evidence that the trips and other prizes given to contestants should have lower values than they’re given by the production team.
Producers May Address The Allegations
However, They’re Silent For Now
The Price Is Right producers haven’t addressed these Reddit-based rumors, but maybe they should. If former contestants are complaining, and word is getting around, the show’s higher-ups could step in to clear the air. That might be the best way to reassure loyal viewers that contestants don’t get hit with higher tax bills than they should. Contestants love playing the game, even though they lose sometimes, as seen above, via The Price Is Right on Instagram.
The Price is Right airs on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
