I can’t afford/make the time to see a therapist, but I watch The Price is Right every day. Then I always want to talk about it with people, but nobody wants to.

It hasn't been the same since that guy reverse-engineered the show's pricing formula, then proceeded to win everything right down to the exact dollar. They started introducing elements of randomness after that.

There's a lot of articles about it, but most of them get the facts wrong, as I've come to learn just now. The contestant who perfect bid everything actually was helped by somebody else, but tried to take credit for coming up with the formula. There's a documentary you can watch for free on YouTube that gets into the details:

I'm watching it now. Let me know what you think!
