So, I was operating on the assumption that these brackets had some sort of viewer vote element to them. Nope. There's just a segment at the end of the two hours which tells you who "won." Odd.

If Buzzr is choosing the winners, then my disappointment will be even greater if Bill Cullen isn't named the grand champion.

Since the network didn't have Pat Sajak hosting a series, they just aired the first episode of Super Password, where he was a celebrity guest.

Tonight we get the first time Buzzr has aired an episode of Eubanks Card Sharks, as well as an episode of Tattletales to represent Bob Barker. After Sajak's representation, I'm not going to make any assumptions, but if it is one of the episodes that he hosted, is this going to be the first time that an episode of television hosted by Bob Barker has aired anywhere since 2007?

He appeared on 'Price' nearly a year ago playing Lucky $even. Guesting and perhaps hosting.

On April Fools Day of last year, Bob Barker came out the doors after being introduced as Drew. He hosted the first segment (Lucky Seven) ceding the reins over to Drew after the game and appearing in the showcases later.

If you want to count whole episodes, I suppose the question would be at what point did GSN stop airing Tattletales and if it were possible that they aired the episode he hosted sometime after 2007. Even so, it's still been a while.

I understand Jim Perry "beat" Bob Barker in the brackets presumably because they've got nothing else of Barker hosting. Though they have got plenty of him being a panelist.

Could be because Jim Perry's a better host, too.

OK, back to the original question.  Who did win, anyway?

They start the elite 8 tonight with Bert Convy over Bill Cullen.

On Tuesday, they aired LMAD 71 followed by a He Said She Said rerun from February's marathon.  Hall won.  Then, they aired P+ (from 7/4/79, aired on Buzzr 7/4/15), and the premiere of Super Password.  Ludden won.

On Wednesday, they aired Tattletales from '76 hosted by Barker and an episode of Card Sharks from July '78.  Perry won.  Then they showed an ep of Dawson Feud from 80 and ep #31 of Card Sharks from '86.  Dawson won.

On Thursday, they aired #1264 of MG78 followed by a '84 ep of PYL.  Rayburn won.  Then, they aired an ep of Body Language with Brothers/Garrett, and the '74 test show of NYSI that they showed last September.  Narz won (!)?  (I was half hoping Kennedy would win so that they might show a Wordplay ep, though it will be fun to see what of Narz's stuff they show.  Is it stupid to hold out hope for Concentration?)

(Haven't watched this yet to confirm.) On Friday, they aired an ep of Double Dare and an ep of Combs Family Feud - the first half of the soap opera special they also showed in September.  Trebek won.  Then they showed an ep of Blockbusters and an ep of Super Password; Convy won.

It appears they are continuing this stunt from 8-10pm each night, repeating from 11p-1a and again from 2-4p the following day.  On Saturday, I'm guessing they will air from 8-10pm and repeat it twice consecutively, but that is just a guess.  The Sunday schedule is not available, though Zap2It shows E/I programming running from 10a-1p on Saturday, so it appears they will repeat chunks of this event from 6a-8p before somehow going into the finals.

I think this says all that needs to be said about this particular stunt.  I'm not a huge Cullen fan by any means, but to advance an emcee who frequently loses control over his shows and makes multiple errors over a guy who could get mileage out of Blankety Blanks is ridiculous.

Note that anyone who put forth an idea of a fan vote basically made it up in their head. From what I read of the original poster there was no indication about anything other than "Here's hosts, here's some shows they hosted."

As a way to synergize with the college basketball it was fun enough. I wouldn't read too much into it.

I guess Bill winning it all would be too easy.

I know he's "Dean of the Emcees", and like Mark said, he could make a terrible format enjoyable...that said, Bert had a few more longer-lasting hits (two of which air regularly on BUZZR), so there's that.
