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

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.)
