Bob Barker's Newest Scandal
« on: May 13, 2009, 11:45:30 AM »
First ever GSN Awards show tainted by latest Bob Barker scandal!

http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/game-...vs-betty-white/

Buzzerblogsters have started the "FYB" movement, and some GSN.commers are calling for a boycott of the first GSN Awards show, and also showing a line of FYB t-shirts Barker protesters can wear to the event!

Whether or not any of this is true, other than the fight between Barker and Betty over the elephant, three things are certain; 1)The comments and posts are 99.9999% anti Barker.  2) The "Bob's A God" worshippers are errily quiet on the subject, maybe they're organizing to plant pro-Bob defense posts on all websites, or maybe they've finally gotten a clue!.  And 3) Barker's panicking Spin Doctors haven't slept in 36 hours!

PS.  I heard that the Animal Planet is going to run a special Animal Psychic show in which the frightened elephant confesses that she doesn't want to leave her family and friends and be relocated to San Andreas CA (who would?)

PPS.  The elephant will be wearing a  XXXXXXXlarge FYB t-shirt on the show. ;)

Third times the charm, I guess.

Considering how the majority of them operate, this really doesn't mean much.

I really wonder how the perception of Barker would be if this was against someone who wasn't universally loved by fans.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Well, how was the perception of Barker against Janice Pennington, Holly Hallstrom, Kathleen Bradley, Dian Parkinson, Sherrill Paris, Sharon Freim, Linda Riegert, Paul Alter, Barbara Hunter, Deborah Curling, Marc Breslow, Claudia Jordan, Sylvia Clement-Henry and Nikki Ziering?   (And anyone else Barker got rid of that I may have missed?)

But in all those cases, he stood (or hid) behind the company which took the heat for it (publicly at least). There is no company to cover for him this time.

Whatever shred of respect I still held for Barker has been severed completely.

Betty White > Bob Barker

I couldn't agree with you more, Joe. To hell with Bob Barker and his "Oh, poor me, I'm not going to have Betty White ruin MY night." I'm surprised the place will be big enough to house Barker AND Dawson's inflated egos.

He does understand this is the "GSN Awards" and not the "Bob Barker Lifetime Achievement and God's Gift To Planet Earth Show", correct?

I'll try this one more time:

EVERY source that has reported this points back to someone who got this story out of the National Enquirer.

Not Weekly World News by any stretch, granted, but certainly not a source deserving of as much indignation and gravitas as has been displayed in this thread.

The National Enquirer is not in the business of fighting losing battles in libel suits. They know how litigious Barker is and if they printed false information which was unfavorable to Barker, they could likely expect a knock on the door from a lawyer representing Barker.

Wait a minute.  You mean he's not?

^Thanks for pointing that out John.  I was going down that famous (or infamous!) list of quotes about Barker from the former Price employees (none of it flattering to Ol' Bob!), and copied Barbara's name also since she was quoted too.  Thanks for the heads up.
