Bob Barker almost a no-show at Game Show Awards because of feud with Betty White - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to get to go to the 2009 Game Show Awards this coming weekend now. Thanks to a reader’s Facebook link for this story. There may be a fight for the GSAs even before it begins. This one is against Bob Barker and Betty White, according to some gossip websites (so you know the drill with those). If you aren’t familiar with their situation, a feud over an elephant at the Los Angeles Zoo who outgrew his pen created a rift between the two. Barker wanted to relocate the elephant to San Andreas where it should have fun with the earthquares, and White wanted to keep it at the LA Zoo and build a larger home. Betty White won and apparently Barker is pissed.

According to some close sources, Bob Barker is threatening not to appear at the awards if Betty White shows up. Of course we have no official confirmation and GSN will never confirm this for us, but it’s an interesting and, to be honest, and amusing thought. I can’t imagine anything more thrilling to report to you all from the awards then a Bob Barker/Betty White smack down. They could get some good usage out of the game show sound effects award with that one. So if one appears and the other doesn’t, you know why. I’m crossing my fingers this one is true.

That being said, and I hope this isn’t the case, if someone is forced to stay home to “keep the peace” it’s going to be Betty White. Barker’s getting a major achievement award and Betty’s not. GSN won’t want to be embarrassed by this. I hope this story is either completely bogus or it can be resolved quickly, but Barker needs to act like an adult. It’s a little pathetic. If this is seriously how Barker’s going to act, maybe he should just stay home. Here’s hoping Betty shows up.

If that ever happens, my money's on Betty.

Maybe Bob is just upset because the elephant hasn't been spayed/nuetered!

Actually I think it's great that at their ages they are still passionate enough to get mad over the issue. It's obviously something they both care deeply about (the welfare of animals), so more power to both of them!

I only hope all of us "young pups" have half their energy and spirit when we reach our 80's...
