I remember Vanna White talking about how it takes 75 people to shoot a 10 second clip of her presenting a car/vacation/etc that a contestant can win.
I bet WofF isn't cheap to keep up with anymore.

Another problem with the networks. The same thing could be accomplished by one guy with a portable camera in the "real" world. Well, maybe two when you count the producer who has to tell the "talent" what to say.

That's what her cue-card person is for!!
And of course she needs a make-up artist, costume mistress, hairdresser or two, 15 cameras for different angles - which require one person to run and another to supervise, caters, director, producer, and I forgot the rest on the list she went through, but it was RIDICULOUS!
