Title: TTTT '90
Post by: WhammyPower on July 05, 2005, 10:30:27 AM
I only started to see the trend during these Swann eps, but it seems like in every single episode that I have watched, the real person always seems to be the same number for both segments.  Anybody else noticed this?

Yes.  Is it just me, or is the real person ALMOST always #1?

Haven't seen it in about a week, but on most of the eps. I've seen, it's rarely, if ever, been #1.

I've never really seen too many eps., but I've rarely seen it be #2.

Ergo, this means it's almost always #3.  

Seriously, I went back and looked at the last five shows GSN has run (not including today).  What I found was that in three of the last five shows the same number was the real one in both games, that #2 was the real one more often than the others and that all three numbers were utilized at least once (with #3 being the least used for those particular five shows).

Randy West would be well suited to answer this, since he actually was an impostor on the 9/7/90 show sitting in #3.  Was the position determined by lot, or did the producers (or whomever) prearrange the positions to try to achieve a balance of a certain number of #1's, #2's and #3's being the correct one for any given week?  (My guess would be by lot, but that's only a guess.)
