This seems to be nothing but a laundry list of "wrong answers given on game shows". Doesn't this fall afoul of What An Idiot being No Real Life Examples, Please!, since game shows are by definition non-fiction?

At the least, there's a lot of Fan Myopia going on, such as "Ed Begley Jr. couldn't figure out a puzzle whose answer was Johnny Olsonbecause he had never seen The Price Is Right." There are also a lot of vague examples like "When the first 180 was hit on Bullseye, the partner failed to answer relatively simple questions and blew the chance for big cash." which mean nothing to people who haven't seen the show.

A game show is not Real Life, so declining. Questionable examples can be pulled to the discussion page.
