What to do you think game shows will do that offer trips in a majority of their prize offers?
I am specifically thinking of The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. I can’t believe that trips will be a coveted prize for a year or two. What will these shows give as prizes and will they be able to get sponsors?
That is one of the many weird pandemic random thoughts that I have had to try and occupy my mind. 😳😄

I'm guessing inexpensive cars, or maybe like back when they'd give away kitchen suites, or a living room set.
I don't think game shows would be as exciting without the studio audience, so I'm curious what that will look like.

I think a vast majority of contestants cash in those prizes, to pay the taxes on them.
Most game shows will probably go all cash, or expensive things like beef or pork.

I agree with this, but I wouldn’t it still be those companies providing the prize for the advertising. Will these companies still sponsor these show. I guess I am not sure how it works. I believe that the majority of the people do take the much lower cash equivalent. We knew someone that won a corvette through his work and ended up having to sell it to pay the taxes and they really couldn’t afford the upkeep anyway. |

It’s funny you mention this. DH and I have had numerous discussions about this while watching game shows during the stay at home order. A lot of the time my DH would say “I hope you’ve already taken that trip”

Probably offer antiseptic wipes, toilet paper, paper towels, yeast, and other things that have been hard to find.   |

Since the beginning of this whole thing I've been wondering how they could possibly do another season of Survivor until there is a vaccine. Last night Jeff said they have lots of ideas but I don't see how they could do anything out of the U.S. in time to air this fall as he said. Then there is the whole social distancing thing. I just don't see it happening.
