On some overseas version of Family Feud (may have been Family Fortunes), someone answered every single question in the Big Money round with "Turkey". Actually, it was just the first three questions, and there was a reason. Apparently, his headphones cut out at one point and he heard his family member's answer to "name a food you stuff", which was "chicken". Problem is, he didn't hear the question, so he just answered "Turkey" for the first three questions. The first being "name something you take to the beach" and the second being "name the first thing you buy when grocery shopping." The food stuffing one was third.

On the awful Australian version of 'The Weakest Link' one of the questions was:
'What language spoken in China beginning with 'M' is also the name for a type of fruit?'
Real answer: Mandarin
Answer Given: Mango

William Shatner, the "best" Pyramid player EVER~!, as he plays the Winner's Circle solo:
...and costs his partner a $20,000 win, and his reaction:
This is probably where Shatner got his inspiration for the KHHAAAAANNNNN!! scream.
On Press Your Luck, a contestant named Jim Hess became famous for cursing out the Whammies.
May contain language, but this is from the GSN version, so I don't know if it's edited for not. This was censored in the original CBS run, but was left uncensored from the syndie version.

I just remembered one from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire where the lady says an elephant is bigger than the freakin' Moon. And THIS is the photoshop. The woman who lost actually lost on a much tougher question (~$125,000).

I remember once on The Price is Right where one person bid a number (lets say 726 for the sake of argument), the next person bid one over, 727, and the next person bid one over that 728 and the person with 727 was exactly right. At least, I think I remember that. I'm pretty sure it happened. Yeah but it happened once. You would have to get pretty lucky for it to happen. Why not just go with the best choice and bid a dollar over. The guy that bid 728 was exactly right in his decision, but you can't win 'em all. Oh, I know, it's just that weird situation where "bidding one above" actually backfired.

I would like to remember the term for when people "remember" something based off of a story they heard from another source that never actually happened.

I can't find the clip, but in the early days of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, this guy went out on the question "According to the nursery rhyme, Little Jack Horner put in his thumb in a pie and pulled out what?"
His final answer: A blackbird.

His final answer: A blackbird. I remember one time a guy used a lifeline or two on the first item because he didn't remember if the game was "Duck, duck, goose" or "duck, duck, duck, goose." The question asked him what came after "Duck, duck?"

There was this one guyt who used all 3 of his lifelines on a 300$ question which was "What type of word can be used in the Passive or the active form?" and still got it wrong.

Randy Marsh anyone?? Nah, he still can't compete with Cliff Clavin. Even though it's fiction, any discussion of failure on a game show has to include Cliff.

Actually, along those lines, I saw someone bid $13 because he was confident his opponent went over. And won.
