Good afternoon. I would like to know has any of the current and past TPIR models/Barkers beauties ever got the chance to spin the big wheel during the showcase showdown on some TPIR episodes since 1975?

Yes. One incident in fact happened on June 31, 1985. It was a debacle beyond belief...one got sucked under the wheel, and the rest didn't get it all the way around, so it didn't count and they didn't get to spin again.

I remember this episode--the only one from the entire run where they ran out of time before the showcase because someone took too long in 3 strikes. So, the next show began with the showcase showdown and a returning champion.

May I have everyone's attention please. I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm regarding the only returning champion in the history of Barker TPiR...but the show began with the Showcase, not the Showcase Showdown. I emailed Bob Barker, and he admitted to this historic moment.
