I have been in the audience and started to enjoy the show. I knew I wasn't going on stage but it was still great. Then George ruined it. He tried to get the crowd going and offered 500 dollars to the loudest contestant. The money was given to an elderly Lady in the front row. We good for her but that is not what George implied by saying the loudest contestant.
So I have never watched the show again and was reminded of of this with the passing of Mr Barker. RIP.
