 Especially if benefits, health insurance, etc. are taken into account, having six models part-time is cheaper than three full-time. Game shows are a business after all.

I'm surprised that CBS hasn't announced a new reality series, \"Come on Down! The Barker's Beauty Search\". Contestants would live in a house,go on spay and neuter drives, and engage in weekly pose-downs amongst a variety of appliances and food items. The woman who least reminds Bob each week of Dian is tossed.

It could be a ratings blockbuster! (or maybe not)

I don't believe the models have any benefits at all.

I think the issue with the models is this:

Besides the money, they don't want to announce permanent models and then have them leave (voluntary or involuntary). Then they have to go through the whole process over again. Plus I don't think viewers want to see model searches over and over again.

 I know you're kidding there, but I would TOTALLY watch this.

 Well, you got Claudia Jordan, we all know her. Then there's the former Miss USA Brandi Sherwood, Playboy playmate Penelope Jimenez, Australian Lisa Gleave-Letelier, and Shane \"Don't Call Me Alan Ladd\" Stirling (sorry, Prof). Googling any of these names will reap untold rewards, especially Lisa (there are some very nice photos of her on the Internet -- she's hot!).
