(just because i started it, i should finish it)
I not sure what channel surfing brought me upon it, but it was a combination of seeing someone chase excellence over decades of following the show and recording/ cataloguing prices of repeated items they used, then drilling it so he had it all in mind when he annually attended the show (kinda the adult version of spelling bee prep), and Bob Barker knew him whenever he was in the audience. Apparently no one told new management about him when Drew Cary took over, so when he aced a final package, they suspected cheating, and couldn't be convinced otherwise.
Anyway, bringing up Price is Right reminded me of that...
