      I was about to say the same. TV channels noticed early on that game shows were rated higher when an attractive contestant won, and started rigging the games accordingly.

      I remembered the movie as being very good, but it didn’t stand up to a rewatch. However, the rewatch was a good few years ago too.

    Rigging quiz shows is capitalist free speech (quiz shows are people). They needed to be investigated if they by chance weren’t rigged & the shows were not achieving their full financial potential (which is an obligation, not a right).
