Why is Ryan Seacrest listed as a presenter?

He hasn’t hosted or taped a single episode yet. It’s still Pat Sajak. He shouldn’t be on there as of now. 2600:6C52:44F0:1240:D92D:C05D:D6E7:5CFA (talk) 06:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ending the Shopping Round

The article claims, "At any time during a shopping round, a contestant could choose to put his or her winnings either on a gift certificate or 'on account' for use in a later shopping round." Someone needs to recheck the source, because this is NOT accurate. Contestants were not allowed to end the shopping round as long as they could afford to buy anything else that was available. Then they could put their remaining money into a gift certificate or on account. There were plenty of times that Pat would stand there and wait for them to buy that $5 can opener or whatever simply because they had enough money for it. Otherwise, players would almost always have chosen to end the round immediately and take all their winnings as a gift certificate.

The article needs to be changed, but I don't know how to go about doing that when a source is cited, even though that source is difficult to verify. Sm5574 (talk) 14:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
