Perfect name

A while back I posted a faux tweet about Laura Overcash, a Let's Make a Deal contestant with a name that's beyond wonderful for the genre.

Laura's appearance on LMAD has now come and gone, and she gets a long contestant story in her hometown newspaper (or web site). One thing I didn't know: Let's Make a Deal will rent costumes to people who don't have outlandish duds of their own. She picked the pirate outfit, which looked okay on the show (see screenshot).

Laura also sounds a little suspicious of the production staff...

There's no doubt in my mind there are spies mixed in with the real audience. So be friendly with other contestants, laugh a lot, tell stories and be yourself, because you never know if you are talking to a real audience member or a paid member of the show.

Never thought of that myself. Of course, I don't plan on being a contestant on a game show, but it can't hurt to be bubbly with everyone in sight. You never know when you might be talking to a staff member.

Anyway, I hadn't posted a full entry about Let's Make a Deal for a while, and Laura's name was just too good to pass up.
