It just happened on the channel, and I use my TV for my work monitor, haven't seen this show in years.

OMG, the female model. Man, that is some outfit.

But they balance it out by having a male model. On the Price Is Right? Love 2021.

Seems to me like a 20K car isn't what it was in 1985. How bout giving away Teslas?

They seems to be giving away more cash these days, as they have 3 new games that give away cash.
I love what the price is Right did and it should be modeled by other game shows. The show "Lets make a deal" also made some pretty good adjustments.

They have more cash prizes because most of the other prizes won were never picked up. For example, the value of a car is counted as income. So,in California, you may have to come up with 40% of the value in cash to get it.

Yep, all prizes won must have taxes paid on them, The IRS considers them income for tax purposes.
Cars must have tax, license plate, registration paid for before leaving the car lot.
Many contestants forgo expensive items like cars, trips and even useless products they don't really need or want.
