Shane Stirling this time. (http://\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/08/07/barkers-beauty-the-price-is-right-bob-barker-shane-stirling/\") Oddly, she's suing for a remarkably small amount of money, pocket change compared to the others.

I like how some of the people commenting are SO apologetic to Barker, as if he's some sort of Messiah. At least some of the other people have been able to accept the fact that he's an arrogant POS, like #11, #14, and #27.

It's a strategic move -- I haven't seen the case, but given the damages, I'm assuming it's not "Small Claims" or "General Jurisdiction" courts, but what California refers to as its "Limited Jurisdiction" court. Damages are limited to a max of $25,000, and I'm assuming that even though it's California, it's still more 'relaxed' than the "General Jurisdiction" court.
EDIT: I just re-read the TMZ post, which says she is suing for "more than $25,000." I'm guessing this is more than just wording on TMZ's part -- to me, that sounds like a jurisdictional statement taken right out of Sterling's petition.

You actually got to 27? Props to you. The severe lack of...well, intelligent comments, regardless of whether or not they support Barker, made me stop after 10 or so.

Hopefully the Smoking Gun or someone will come up with the filing. It now costs $$$ to even search the case files of LA Superior Court online, much less download the docs.
