    I must not be in the know with the lingo… because I can’t quite parse that.

    Husband: is a sandwich artist

    Wife: is an $8000 rebate for a heat pump? Is this the new form of mail order bride: get $8000 in coupons or a wife worth $8000?

      They are saying the husband gets his income from being a sandwich artist and the wife’s income comes from a rebate on purchasing a heat pump.

    I was totally thinking about how these shows must be faked in some way. I just figured they payed people to go looking, despite the fact they actually have a nice enough home(s) and don’t actually need to move.

      I always figured they paid people to act excited on The Price is Right.

      Imagine if someone didn’t even want to be there and just went to the studio because their family surprised them with tickets while they were on vacation. Then they get picked and super grudgingly go through the whole game.

        Nah, they just wouldn’t choose someone who wasn’t excited to be there. Pretty sure they interview everyone before hand and watch them before filming before deciding who to pick. It’s definitely not just random.
