The Price is Right 6/15 : What shows HAVE to be on Bob's Finale?

Cafe Society

Perhaps I am too late already with this post.
Bob Barker’s Scheduled last TPIR is to air on Friday 6/15.

That being said, what 6 ‘pricing games’ do you think WILL be played on the show?

Here is my guess.

  1. Golden Road. [Always played first, and this one will be over the top, as far as Golden Road goes… and that is saying a LOT.]

  2. Plinko. Its Plinko! Need I say more?

  3. Hole in one. One last inspiration putt for the road bob.

  4. Clock Game. Just so we can have one final Clock game.

  5. As much as I hate to say it. “Switch?” . Only because we will probably need a fast game.

  6. Perhaps this is cheating the question. But I think Bob will say / imply that he got to pick at least one game of the 6, as it is his favorite.

What 's the game with the mountain climber and the yodeling music? Great drama.

And maybe the big showcase showdown wheel will finally cut loose and roll offstage!

3

Cliffhanger?

Whatever it’s called, I love that game. I can hear the music now. Yo-de-ooo-de-oh-de-ooo, yo-de-ooo-de-oh. [Insert Swiss mountain climber smile here]

4

Plinko better on!!!

5

Plinko better be on!!!

6

The yodeler will be about halfway up the mountain, then it will stop. Everyone will pause for a second while Barker gets ready to move the game along. The contestant will catch a glimpse of her sister in the audience. Then

Motherfuckin’ Plinko had BETTER be on. 'Nuff said.

8

When does his final show air?

9

Today. First during your normal daytime slot (here, it’s 11am Eastern), then again in prime time.

10

This has always been, hands-down, my favorite game as well.

11

I always liked Range Finder, with Cliffhanger a close second.

I remember being a preschooler, laying on the big bed in Mom & Dad’s room, watching Bob Barker–with no hint of gray whatsoever–on their TV.

12

What’s the game with the Cash Register?

13

In a spoiler box, did the wheel come off the hinges and injure Barker, a contestant, a Beauty, or members of the audience? I’m deciding whether to bother recording tonight’s show, as I won’t be home. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, then I won’t bother.

14

My favorites have always been “Three Strikes”, “Lucky Seven” and “Temptation”, I hope that at least one of these makes the final cut.

15

Well damn it’s a little late to tell me about it NOW isn’t it? :frowning:

Edit: Ooh, never mind, I see they’re rerunning it in prime time. Carry on…

16

Okay, I haven’t watched TPIR in probably 20 years, but I loved it as a kid so I DVR’d this morning’s show and just watched it.

I was surprised there wasn’t more done in way of tribute to Barker. There was mention here and there of some of the contestants camping out for days to get in, and Bob gave a very brief thank you as the credits rolled, but that was it. Kind of anticlimactic.

As for the pricing games, I found them kind of disappointing as well:

There WAS Plinko and there was the cash register game, but no Golden Road, no Hole In One, no mountain climber, no Clock Game, no Dice Game. Most of the games were not as exciting or fun as the ones I remember liking as a kid.

So long, Bob! You were a great host. And thanks for that one last reminder to spay and neuter my pets!

17

No Hole in One?!?!? But that’s CLASSIC Bob! The show just isn’t (wasn’t :() worth watching if Bob didn’t get a chance to humiliate a contestant by showing them how EASY it is to get a hole in one.

Of course, sometimes he did miss, and that would have been a bummer of a way to go out.

18

Tangent, Don’t leave us in suspense - what were the other four?

19

There were two other references I noticed: the audience threw confetti when Bob Barker walked into the studio, and the TV which was the first item up for bids was showing the opening of Bob’s very first show. There already was a special prime-time Price is Right honoring Bob’s career a few months ago, so I guess they wanted to do something plain for the last show.

The games played were:
Lucky Seven
Plinko
The Range Game
Double Prices
Grocery Game
Any Number
