 On September 22, 2008, Terry Kneiss made game show history by bidding the exact amount of his $23,743 showcase.Taping of the show immediately stopped, with Carey and show staffers concerned that cheating was taking place.It was later learned that—by constantly watching the show, noticing the frequency of certain products showing up on the show, and using statistical analysis—Ted Slauson, an audience member and long-time superfan of the show, had legitimately determined the exact prices of the items in the showcase.
