GAMING THE GAME SHOWS: PART II

It could just as easily be called “Show, or Not Show.” Another dirty, juicy, nasty little secret of the game show world, particularly the really high stakes game shows, is that there are MANY contestants who have taped appearances that will never be shown. Why? Because losing was such a devastating experience, and caused such a traumatic, emotional breakdown that the producers had no choice but to never let it air. I've heard first hand from crew members on these shows just how horrible it can get.
