He has no chance to earn it back since he's a bad man.[/quote]Never is a long-ass time. I have zero respect for the way Bob Barker conducted himself, but there's a possibility that he could come back. How that would come about, I don't know.

Apologizing to all the people he hurt and waving the white flag with this elephant thing would be a start. Recanting for his revisionist history of his pro-fur past would be good too as would allowing GSN to all all of TPIR with a cigarette show-style stipulation for fur shows would be even better.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd have too much guilt to do what half the man did.

For the record, Betty didn't show, Barker did.

And upon receiving his "Legend" award proceeded to give a speech about how he can officially call himself a "Legend" and how until they give the award away next year (Assuming there is a next year) he can be referred to as "THE Legend".

My husband, knowing nothing about Barker or his antics, gave me a look that said "Is this guy for real?"

Will hear nothing of that.

Gawd, that might be the one match where I would actually root for Orton.

I did not witness it firsthand, but a user on the Golden-Road forums posted something he/she claims to have witnessed on television today.

Today's Access Hollywood showed behind the scenes footage of a new promo for GSN's Game Show Awards featuring Howie Mandel and Bob Barker in a bed together.
Howie was fooling around during the shoot and asked if this is how Drew Carey got the job.  Bob responded with "This is how the models got their jobs"
I know it's a joke, but I couldn't believe this came out of Bob's mouth!   I find that quite interesting considering the whole Dian Parkinson ordeal.

If there is a next year, Betty should get the award by default as an apology for being treated poorly. Then we'll see who "THE Legend" is!!

Were there anyone in FYB shirts? Anyone protesting the awards?

"Hey, Betty...sorry we told you not to show your face, but it is Bob "The Legend" Barker, don'chuknow. Please accept this obligatory default award to smooth things over..."

The only way Betty could be any more legendary would be if she told them where to place their award.
