The audience does not know the price
It's really annoying when a contestant looks to the audience for help selecting a price or a number in a price. They have no clue to TPIR's inflated prices.

What's annoying is that so many people don't have a clue and are yelling or fingering numbers. I wish only those "in the know" would offer help; it's very frustrating.
Next time you're in the audience you can tell everyone to sit down and be quiet because you know all the prices. share

Back when I watched every day (2001-2007) I knew all the 'repeat' prices and so did most contestants. That's why Bob used to roll his eyes at certain guesses, it was plain they either never watched or were just plug stupid.
Coincident with Carey, two things appeared evident: The prices and the games were chosen to save money by making winning a more distant possibility. The contestant pool suddenly knew nothing about the show, again making winning a more distant possibility.
Whether those things actually happened and happened by design, that's what it looked like to a 'tried and true' viewer and that as much as Carey is why I stopped watching. Those, plus Fremangle dumping Roger and hiring that schmow I won't dignify by remembering his name. He still there?

I gave you not one, not two, but THREE disclaimers. What the flark do you want, "IMO" before and after every fraction of a sentence?
Yes I suppose you do. And no, I don't suppose it would make any difference. Because "SOME" posters write crap without so much as a shard of evidence they even comprehend the concept of reading comprehension. That's OK, SOMEbody's got to set the bottom of the bell curve.
