The viewers almost always have something to say about what’s happening on stage, but never off, until now.

During the latest episode of The Price is Right, announcer George Gray was calling a contestant to the front. As the excited player rushed to the stage, fans watching at home saw something peculiar in the crowd.

A man, who was wearing a cream button down and black pants, was seated two rows in front of him and appeared to be holding a phone.

A few viewers were upset as they knew the rules of the shows and its permitted items. According to the game’s website, “phones and other electronic devices are not allowed in the holding room or studio of The Price is Right.”

On Reddit, someone wrote: “That’s the first time I’ve seen someone do that.”

Some were questioning if it was “even a phone” because it was “so small” and the producers wouldn’t allow it if it was.

Previous audience members chimed into the conversation sharing their experience with the policy.

One said: “They take your phone right before you go in the studio.”

Another pointed out: “Some VIP guests may be allowed to have their phone in the studio, however having it out on camera is ridiculous.”

A third added: “One of my episodes I attended I was seated next a group of 4 VIPs 2 in front and 2 to my right. Partway through the taping they asked me if I could take a photo of them with their phone… I’m thinking the whole time what the f— do you have your phone?????”

 

To ensure fair play, audience members are also not allowed to bring smartwatches, backpacks and price lists. The show even puts limitations on the type of clothing the crowd can wear.

The Price is Right airs on CBS every weekday at 10 am EST.
