These are questions I have about Game Shows/How they work:

1. On "The Price is right", how do they choose someone to be an actualy contestant? Sometimes I think they're randomly chosen rom the audience, and sometimes I think they're told before the show that they're gonna be on.

2. How do they choose poeple to be on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"? And why did they choose MEREDITH to be the new host? And, why did Regis leave?

3. Why did that "Ann" woman on "The Weakest Link" leave? And, is that new guy her son or something? He looks like her, lol.

4. If a contestant is from out of town, does the company pay for the Airplane ride, Hotel Room, Meals, etc.?

5. Same as above, except audience members.

Thanks for reading, and I may have more.

1. Um...I think they pick before hand. They pick people outside...the ones who are most energetic. I think that's at least somewhat right.

3. I don't know why Ann didn't do the syndie version, but George Gray, the new host, isn't related.

4. They used to pay to fly people out and all that, but I don't think so much anymore. Especially the syndicated shows. They don't have the budget.

5. I think most audience tickets are free, but you obviously have to get there yourself.
