Only after seeing it on the Barker channel I now realize he was saying "ol' cheapo."

He's said "Ol' Cheapo" a few times, but he's definitely said "El Cheapo" far more often.

OK, not going completely nuts. I did watch for this (sporadically) over the past couple of months before posting to see if he used both, and it just happened that the ones I caught were "ol' cheapo."

Chelsea and I were discussing this a while back...I can't remember which show it was, but I think she found the day that he switches it to "El Cheapo."

See, all times I heard Bob in the Money Game, I always thought he said EL Cheapo. I never realized he said OL' Cheapo. Now I will start listening closely on the Barker reruns for the Ol' Cheapo shows.
