Over Thanksgiving, I was watching Let's Make A Deal with my parents. They were doing the big deal. Flippantly, I said out loud, "I wonder if anybody has ever run up and looked behind the curtains." It actually got me wondering. In the 32 years TPIR has been on the air, has anyone ever looked under a shell on The Shell Game, pushed the reveal button on Double Prices, etc. What would the host say? What would happen to the contestant? And how would they edit something like this? This topic may seem frivolous to some. But, I am not a troll. I just think it would be amusing if anyone ever did this and really funny to see the look on the host's face.

There was an incident on TPIR where a woman lifted up the shell during the Shell Game. Bob's reaction was absolutely "Priceless" (Yes, pun intended)...This moment can be seen over at www.tpir.tv

 If they did the incidents of which you speak of before instructions were given, automatic disqualification.  If they misunderstood, other measures would be taken, depending on the show.

Other Cheating moments that I remember
TPiR- 3 Strikes contestant is down to 1 # left and 2 strikes.  She has the strike in her hand and is about to pull it up, but quickly puts it back and pulls up the number.

UK Millionaire- I'm sure everyone's heard about this, but one contestant was helped out on almost every question by a member in the audience (the audience member coughed 1, 2, 3, or 4 times to symbolize which answer was right)

 Yes, you must go download it. Even if you are on dialup, go download it! Everybody knows the damn thing's there. :)
