Contestants from Survivor, The Amazing Race and Big Brother have been
invited to come on down for special night editions of The Price is Right.

EW has learned exclusively that the CBS game show will pay tribute to CBS’
reality shows by pitting former racers, castaways and houseguests against
each other for three specials.

Each special will also feature appearances by Race’s Phil Keoghan, Survivor’s
Jeff Probst and Big Brother’s Julie Chen. They’ll air later this year.

Season 28 of The Amazing Race premieres Friday on CBS. Survivor comes back
Feb. 17, while the next installment of Big Brother will bow this summer.

The Price is Right, together with The Talk, The Young and the Restless, The
Bold and the Beautiful, and Let’s Make a Deal, has helped CBS rank No. 1 in
daytime for 29 years.

I don't get the point of having it be the reality show people plus
Superfans competing.

If one of the superfans is the closest bidder then they go on stage and
play one of the games. So during that round it would effectively be just
like any other Price Is Right episode.

I'd much rather it be 100% the reality players so each time one of them is
one stage. If it's 50/50 it could end up being more superfans onstage than
reality show people.

CBS must think viewers will be excited enough to just watch the reality
players play.

What I don't understand is how are Phil, Jeff and Julie supposed to fit into
the picture. I doubt they'll be playing so what will they be doing? Has the
way The Price Is Right is played changed? I haven't seen that show for
years.
