Former TPIR host Bob Barker is making a brief appearance on today’s episode to promote his new book, Priceless Memories. I plan on watching the show when I get home from work, and I’ve already started reading the book. It will be nice to see him on the show again, even if it’s just for one day.
This show was absurdly fun. I loved when he said “All profits of my book - if there ARE any…” (are going to a spay/neuter charity of course.)
Also I think they totally misled the kid on his showcase to believe that he was getting an actual YACHT (not just a day) which is why he bid so high (even though they repeated “a day, a day, a day”). At first they said: “YOUR OWN YACHT!!!”
Anyways, I bid $18,000 on his, and $32,000 on the other so I was close to both. (Everyone bids at home like me, right? Ok, my life is pathetic. :smack:)
It was great seeing Bob not only talking about his book, but actually taking part in the Showcases.
I also thought for a minute that the prize was an actual yacht. The Showcase podium doesn’t have enough digits for that prize. That second Showcase was very difficult to bid on, because they almost never have prizes like travel on a private jet and one-day use of a private yacht. I would have bid way over also.
