If you could go on any game-show, what would it be?

[expectantsteelerfan]

Just for fun...

If you could go on any tv game-show (even if it's not currently on the air), what would you pick and why?

Up until a few years ago, I would have definitely picked The Price is Right because I felt like because I both watched it almost daily and was an avid couponer, I had a really good shot at doing well on guessing prices of the type of objects they had on there pretty closely.  But I haven't watched in years now, and I no longer coupon or pay close attention to prices.

I think I'd like to be on a trivia game like Mental Samurai, but Wheel of Fortune is probably a better fit lol.  But my final pick would be something that is almost totally luck, as in Press Your Luck.  No Whammys!

I know I would NOT do well on something that involves physical challenges under pressure like Wipe Out or even Minute to Win It even though it looks like being on them would be much more fun!

I think Family Feud would be the most fun but the people on Wheel of Fortune seem to win way more than other game shows

[toepick]

Amazing Race!  Whoops - not really a game show. 


Jeopardy, but I would hate to have to do the cramming beforehand. 

[georgeharrison]

Supermarket Sweep!

[Patsy Baloney]

Match game with Richard Dawson, Bret Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Fanny Flagg, Marcia Wallace and Gary Burghoff on the panel.

Gene Rayburn as host, of course.

Sooo much innuendo!

[fivechickens]

Family Feud!

[gretchenindisguise]

Game show - wheel of fortune. Fun fact, I tried out once and made it past the first round but a work obligation kept me from going to the 2nd try out. I’m still sad.

Reality show - amazing race for sure.

I listen to a podcast called Good Job, Brain which is a trivia type show. They did a bonus episode recently where they had guests talking about being on game shows - how to get chosen, how to prepare, what happens back stage. It was really interesting

Which ever game I could win the most money!

[Velar Fricative]

I've been trying to get on Jeopardy! for years, so definitely that one.

My family auditioned for Family Feud and it was so much fun. I wish we would’ve gotten picked!

Love reruns of that show. Lots of drinking in that green room. I may be misremembering, but iirc one time Richard took his marker and connected the dots on Ray's very loud polyester pantsuit.

DH, I, and two friends slept on the sidewalk outside CBS studios and attended one of Bob Barker's last shows. So, so fun.

[raangoli]

The Price is Right, Supermarket Sweep, or Jeopardy for sure.

[tamarindy]

Without a doubt, Press Your Luck.

My brothers and I were obsessed and had the idea to memorize the pattern of the board to avoid whammys, then a guy actually did it.

[lilypad1126]

In my pretend world it would Jeopardy. I'm don't know near enough trivia to actually go well on it though, so I will never attempt it.

But in a more real world scenario it would be wheel of fortune. I am actually good at it. I grew up watching it with my grandmother so it's also sentimental to me.

[Deleted]

Let's Make a Deal or Press Your Luck.

tamarindy, no whammy, no whammy, STOP!

[lust2hart]

Family Feud for sure!

One of my former coworkers has been on Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. Did not win big with any of them, though.

[jinkies]

I LOVE game shows. I have tried out for both Who wants to be a millionaire, and (many years ago) for college Wheel of Fortune.

Who wants to be a millionaire was definitely a bucket list thing for me; I passed the test and got an interview, but wasn't selected.

I think I'd probably do the best at Wheel of Fortune, but honestly would go on any game show that would have me.

[notsopicky]

Game show: Press Your Luck, all day. It's the best (for fun/luck) game show to have ever been on TV, although I don't like the host on the reboot (Elizabeth Banks, I think?). I'd love to be on Jeopardy too, but I'm not smart enough/don't know enough random things. Wheel of Fortune looks fun too, but Pat Sajak is annoying.

Reality show: Survivor, although I'd probably die out there, lol.

[gummy]

I am amazing at Wheel of Fortune! I'm not sure why I've never tried out.

[Aloe Vera]

Family Feud. I am a master at finding the top answers.

Helen's Games of Games looks fun too but I am not the kind of contestant they are looking for. They want energetic crazy people (you have to send a video to audition) and it's not me.

[mcsangel2]

Remote Control on MTV, I would CLEAN. UP. on that. Except I wasn't that good at identifying music videos. One of DH's friends was on it and won a bunch of stuff.

ETA: or Beat the Geeks, which was a similar premise. That was much more recent but didn't last long.

[babsbunny]

We watch TPIR sometimes, so definitely that. We discuss TPIR psychology and know some game tricks (you can almost always win Cliff Hanger using $20, $35, $50).

I enjoyed Amazing Race when it started, but I would need to learn to drive stick and I would have to do all the eating challenges (DH has a sensitive stomach). I also do not think we do well in stressful joint tasks.

We watch Jeopardy every night, so we know we are not good enough but we know exactly what we would need to study (Shakespeare, the Bible, Canada). We joke that the science, sports, and math questions are easy (to us).

I'd like to practice $x pyramid and Secret Word. I think it would be good mental gymnastics.

Lingo! I forgot about it... cool show, and right up my alley.

[tacokick]

I was on a local TV game show for teenagers a few times.

I made it pretty far in the Jeopardy process after college but I didn’t have the money to travel to the final interviews. So probably Jeopardy or something else trivia related.

[abs]

As a pre-teen I was *this* close to getting on Double Dare. I made it to the very last stage. I also very much so wanted to do GUTS.

As an adult I would say Wheel of Fortune for sure. Super Market Sweep.

[macmars45]

My cousin was on Price is Right back in the mid 90s (while in college). She won a peddle boat.

LOL I bet she got a lot of use out of that...

[skidunks]

Price is Right or Supermarket Sweep. Get the frozen turkeys!!!

[TBM]

Years ago I would have said Name That Tune, but I am not as well versed on more current songs. The music that I do know, I can often name in one note, or if the clue is good enough, zero. It drives DH nuts. lol
