The Price is Right is the definition of game show in most people’s heads, and according to BuzzerBlog’s Cory Anotado, that didn’t happen by accident.

Hidden inside Cliffhangers, one of the show’s most dramatic pricing games, is a trick Bob Barker built in specifically for loyal viewers. The first item runs around $25, the second around $35, the third around $45. Know those numbers and that mountain climber stays on the mountain. The show has never announced this. It’s a reward for paying attention.

Cory also covers the Drew Carey transition, the host auditions nobody remembers, and BuzzerBlog’s 24-hour Game Show Marathon raising funds for Child’s Play, which supports pediatric hospitals in Canada with therapeutic games and no-fear MRI kits for kids.
