Ted Slauson spent his early life documenting and memorizing the prices of the prizes on
The Price Is Right. When he turned 18, Slauson started traveling to the show to become a contestant. Even when he was not picked from the audience to be a contestant, Slauson yelled out prices—which is allowed—helping contestants win cash and prizes on the show. Over many years, Slauson called out prices to contestants, allowing them to submit the exact priceor "perfect bid"on various items, and claimed that he helped a contestant make a "perfect bid" on the final showcase, helping them win both showcases (a feature of the game), totaling tens of thousands of dollars. Prior to that, he claimed that he had helped two other contestants bid within a small margin of error on the final showcase, which also allowed them to win both showcases, per a feature of the game. After Terry Kniess made the "perfect bid" to win the double showcase of prizes, the show's producers finally started increasing and changing the diversity of items used on the show, including changing the options packages that impact the prices on automobiles, which are the highest priced single items available for the contestants to price, making it less likely that a contestant can remember the prices by simply watching the show over a long period. Though Kniess maintained that he came up with the perfect bid on his own, Slauson claimed otherwise. ==Cast==
