Bob Barker ask Contestants when they were Spinning the Wheel did they want to say hi to anybody back home? Or was this something stupid Drew added to the show?

Mikado · 10-18-2007, 07:03 PM

Seems to me that he did that sometimes, yes

PYLW · 10-18-2007, 07:36 PM

That's been going on for years now.

Ireneparalegal · 10-18-2007, 10:00 PM

Yeah, Bob did that for a long time. Seems to me Solomon, you didn't watch the show. You only watched when it was the last shows with Bob. True fans of the show know abt Bob asking the contestants to "say hi" to family.

I guess it's been so long since I watched TPIR that I forgot-lol

Bob would always allow contestants to say hello to friends & family & what not after they spun the wheel while it was spinning but he would not usually openly invite" shout outs" like drew is doing now. He would allow it if the contestants asked

Hello Drew is not Bob Barker. Change is very hard when we are used to seeing one person in a spot for so long. Drew Carey is a welcome change. Bob worked my nerves at the end with his running out of patience with the contestants, rushing the games and the contestants. Maybe Drew will not bring the scandals that Bob brought with him and the models on the show. He needs to make the show his own and not trying to make him like Bob.

There are some shows I had a hard time with changes of that nature like Good Morning America when Joan Lunden was replaced. She was Good Morning America and I looked forward to her. Password Plus when Allen Ludden was taken down with cancer and no longer could do the show it was not the same and it was hard to accept even Tom Kennedy did a great job with the circumstances he came to the show under. Paul Rodriguez replacement for Bob Eubanks on The Newlywed Game was a disaster.

Again, Drew is doing a good job and we need to give him a chance to come through.

Drew shouldn't have taken the job if he knew he wasn't qualified

Ireneparalegal · 10-19-2007, 06:55 PM

Who says he isn't qualified? First you say he is nervous. Then you say he is this and that and the other thing, now you say he isn't qualified. In whose eyes? Yours?

He hosts the Power of 10 and he hosted Whose Line Is It Anyways. What qualifications doesn't he have? YOUR APPROVAL?

Drew knows he is qualified. It doesn't matter what you think.

Well that's what I don't understand, if he has been the host of other shows, why is he so nervous on TPIR? He needs to give Viewers the Feel that it's NOW HIS SHOW instead of looking like a Fill-in

Ireneparalegal · 10-19-2007, 07:10 PM

Why is there even two threads with you saying the same foolish things over and over? No, he is not nervous. That is your opinion. But the facts are he has hosted other shows and he is not what you seem to see.
