#313. TV "game shows" of the 1980s were used to test the effectiveness of "suggestion" on audiences, contestants, or "hosts".

They didn't have to "do it".  It was only "suggestion".

• Could a game show "contestant" be kept "upbeat" or suggested to "do a dance" when a "whammie" took away thousands of dollars?
• Could a game show "host" have their choice of words be "influenced"?
• Was Alex Trebek one of only 2 or 3 "hosts" not affected by such "suggestion"?

Yes, yes, or yes.

Does anyone watch the Game Show Network (BUZZR)?

More information will be provided.
