All The Rules 'The Price Is Right' Contestants Have To Follow
This list is 31 items long, Including a dress code, no Smart Watches, have certain kinds of shoes and no, they can't take the value of the prize in cash if they don't want it. You take home exactly what you won or you get nothing.
And then there's #10 - stay alert:
"Announcer George Gray shared that it can get so loud in the studio, contestants can't always hear if their name is called. Because of this, crew members will hold up a big poster with the person's name on it to avoid any mix-ups."
Who knew the Price of getting it "Right" could be so complicated?

Re: All The Rules 'The Price Is Right' Contestants Have To Follow
When I was in L.A. many years ago, I attended a taping of TPIR. One thing the article DIDN'T mention is that it takes a LONG time from when you arrive for the taping(which, in my case, was at CBS Television City)to when the show actually starts taping.(Granted, that was about 20 years ago. And, for the record, I was NOT selected as a contestant.)

Also, I read one of these articles that did say you could exchange the car you won for a similarly priced model from a pool of manufacturers. I wonder if that's still true.

But what they don't say up front is that if you "win" a car in the US you have to pay taxes on that plus all the registration and insurance fees.
Then of course the upkeep going forward.
So in the end the average person could not really afford to take the car, so it is best to just take a one lump sum prize for the value of the car, which would also be taxed.

And if you are a Canadian, the vehicle would require daytime running headlights.
