What else will change at TPIR

[Jimmy_1]

As Bob Barker is leaving TPIR at the end of this season, anyoen care to guess what people, things, or practices will be dismissed with him?  Here are some I suspect will go:
1.) the Hole In One inspiration putt
2.) suits and ties on the host
3.) any stalls before revealing the answer ( such as where Bob refuses to immediately receal the last number in the price of the Porsche in Golden Road without asking several times where the contestant will drive th ecar.)
4.) making jokes about how to play the Check Game
5.) references to Truth Or Consequences, Queen for a Day, and Errol Flynn

Anything else?

My guess is you'll still be making posts such as these, even after his retriement.

As if there haven't been enough speculations as of late, I can assure you the host will wear a suit and tie.

Pants, on the other hand, will be optional.

(Of course, I'm speculating.)

As I recall, neither Doug Davidson or Tom Kennedy did inspiration putts for Hole in One (probably due to not feeling as confident about their putting skills)
None of the games that had Bob's name were played on Davidson or Kennedy's version (for obvious reasons, unless you count Make Your Mark, the renamed Barker's Markers on Davidson's TPIR)
Kennedy's face was on the dollar bill for Punch a Bunch, and it was an old photo. I don't recall what they did for Davidson's version.

That's assuming the host is a male.  If Rosie or Ricki get the job, all bets are off.

Only if you promise to respond to them.

Oooh, I'm sorry, the posting minimum is 250 posts before you can be snarky.

Thanks for playing.

If people start pulling a --Richard in an attempt to reach 250 posts, you're getting the bandwidth bill. :-P

The Davidson version just flashed "$10,000" on the video wall.

Oh, I don't know, I think the FNG might actually Get It.

You are kidding right?

I don't think even Rosie would wear a tie.  On second thought, she might.

I suspect "give them the (prize) anyway" will be uttered much, much less, and for more than one reason.
