OK I'm stupid... I can't find that video on tpir.tv  Do you know under what section the link is located?

I redownloaded some clips from there I haven't seen in a while and the one with the 30th anniversary with the walk back stage and with the sound fx lady had a quick clip of the FF theme as the prize music for a car.  I've known they used it as a prize cue before but that's the first I've heard it used on the show (it grabbed my attention)

Bob's reaction was absolutely "Priceless" (Yes, pun intended)...This moment can be seen over at www.tpir.tv [/quote]
Yes, you must go download it. Even if you are on dialup, go download it! Everybody knows the damn thing's there. :) [/quote]
 This was never confirmed; it is simply a myth...

It's the one on the right side on the first set.

I never saw one where it was the game-ender, but on one episode (I may have it on tape, but I definitely did see it) an older woman sees a strike in her hand and drops it. Bob scolded her and she ended up losing anyway.

I assume you meant after the instructions were given. I watched the Shell Game clip. Quite funny. I'm not sure if the contestant did it on purpose to try to cheat. Maybe it was just nerves. There are a few people out there (you can probably count them on one hand) who have never seen TPIR. When I was in high school, there was this man in my church who didn't own a TV - didn't want it "corrupting" his children.

The original idea behind my post was a contestant doing something that would ruin a game. Like Monty saying "Which curtain do you want?" and a contestant then running across the stage and looking behind the curtains. Or maybe on Golden Road, a contestant pulling the tab to see the price before they chose a digit. That would completely ruin the whole game. What would they do?
