Ways that the discovery of human telepathy is changing how game shows work:
- Drew Carey no longer given the correct prices in “The Price is Right”- Jeopardy audience seeded with people who are absolutely convinced of the wrong question- Neither Pat Sajak nor Vanna White has any idea whatsoever what the puzzle answer is.- Alex Trebek is getting very frustrated with people who just stare at him and think about the answer.- “Wheel of Fortune” contestants occasionally just start yelling out random letters.- Banker in “Deal or No Deal” refuses to make any deals.- “Let’s Make a Deal” contestants often just end up picking the wrong door.- “The Newlywed Game” has to be taken off the air after it is revealed that most couples can barely tolerate each other, let alone know each other that well.- “Hollywood Squares” becomes even more nonsensical as the celebrities give completely random answers.- “Family Feud” just turns into a shouting match between two families who have no idea what the other is thinking.- “Joker’s Wild” contestants know for sure that the Joker is coming for them.- “The Gong Show” becomes even more of a circus as the contestants start trying to telepathically influence the judges.- “The Dating Game” is cancelled after it is revealed that most people can’t stand the person they are matched with.- “The Bachelorette” just ends up hooking up with the show’s producer.- “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” is retired after it is revealed that, no, most people are not smarter than a 5th grader.- “Survivor” becomes even more cutthroat as the contestants start reading each other’s minds.- “American Idol” becomes a telepathic free-for-all as the contestants try to read the judges’ minds and sway their opinion.- In “America’s Got Talent”, 90% of the acts are now “guess my card” magicians.- “Columbo” just walks into the room, says “he did it,” and walks out.
