Could someone who is not currently being punished with a 20 minute countdown timer who also has stable internet access add the following to the Live Action TV entry?

  • Subverted when two contestants on the Price Is Right got away with cheating because it was a mistake. Bob gave a man who accidentally hit the Flip Flop button the prize and let a woman who lifted a shell on the shell game continue to play. In both cases, Bob teased the contestants about their mistake but seemed to understand how nerves make people do stupid things.

Because NOT ALL GAMESHOWS have a strict Can't Get Away with Nuthin' policy. This would be my fifth time attempting to add this, but apparently I'm put in 20 minutes of Time Out before I can edit, not that I even know why.

What about this one? On Wheel of Fortune, most of the time when a player lands on the Free Play space and abuses the "free vowels!" loophole, it is usually followed immediately by a Bankrupt. Some people wouldn't consider it cheating, but I believe that intentionally abusing unintentional loopholes repeatedly to gain an unfair advantage borders a fine line between Loophole Abuse and flat-out cheating.

There's an animated show (or made for TV movie) I remember seeing over a decade ago that involved a baseball team of funny animals being abducted to playing against aliens whose hat was that they always cheated. The team captain, a pig, was facing pressure from the rest of his teammates to give in and cheat, when it turned out that the cat was Too Dumb to Fool. Does anybody know what it was called?

Apparently there are some things our rivals do more efficiently than we by not having to stop every five minutes for a consensus.-Worldmaker
