Title: Game Show Crushes
Post by: Dbacksfan12 on May 04, 2005, 05:39:19 AM
Most fans of gameshows have found a couple of female personalities [or, for the few ladies that post here, males] that they found "cute", "sexy", etc, when they were younger.  So, who was your favorite performer of the opposite sex when you were a young'n?

I would have given away my first car and possibly my parents if I could have slept with Dian Parkinson! Was there ever a more sexy Game Show Beauty EVER? I don't think so.

Absolutely. Although, I could never pinpoint exactly what it was about her that I liked.
Maybe it was her girl next door look.

Kyle Aletter and Lacey Pemberton get honorable mention.

WAY too much information.

Still, you'd like the Meridian Mall near my home.  Schuler Books (a midwest chain of Barnes & Noble-sized stores) and BB&B are side by side.  One-stop shopping for all your...um...needs.

It was working about a year or two ago.

www.claudiajordan.com was built by a friend who was willing to do it on their own time, so the issue wasn't pushed quickly.

It was hardly updated. The yahoo group is updated more often.

Youngun. That's the operative word here.

Hands down, Vanna White!   I have a poster of her on my wall (of her in the pile of straw) and have had it up since I was 13!   Every year I make a beach trip to her hometown of North Myrtle Beach (entirely coincidental, since I've been going there for vacation long before I ever heard of Vanna!) and pick up a White Realty broschure. (the real estate company founded by her step-father, Herbert White) as something to remind me of her, among other things!  :-D
 
In fact, I think I have more WOF eps. on tape than any other game show (with TPiR coming in next).  Although Susan Stafford would rank a VERY close second as Wheel of Fortune letter turner, IMHO, no other game show personality ever held as close a place in my heart as Vanna White!  ;-)

A friend came over my house one day and mentioned that he HATED Vanna White. I don't even know why. So I told him that if he hates her so much then he should go tell her. Afterall she should know about it. He said O.K.

 Oh Yes..... Two bored 15 year olds just looking for something to do. So I proceeded to call NBC and handed him the phone. He got scared and gave me back the phone. I guess he didn't think I was REALLY going to call her. So NBC answers and I asked to be connected to the Wheel Of Fortune office. They put me through and I then proceeded to tell them that my friend hates Vanna White and I just wanted them to pass the message along to her. The woman on the phone said "OK. We'll let her know."

  That was the last time my friend ever told me that he hated anyone. LOL

In the '70's. my crush was on Diane Parkensen(TPIR).

In the "80's, it shifted over to a very young Vanna White from WOF(growls flirtimgly).
Title: Game Show Crushes
Post by: johnnya2k3 on May 05, 2005, 05:59:34 AM
Well, Vanna White has been in many men's fantasies for years, simply because of how she always looked in those amazing gowns on the nighttime WOF (they never cared for her in business wear on the daytime show). Even while doing the show in maternity wear, she looked great.

But as far as this topic's concerned...my now-semi-retired high school teacher had a thing for Holly Hallstrom...until she got fired from TPIR due to her weight issues of course, and she started suing them.

Me? I kind of liked Claudia Jordan, until she quit TPIR after...well, read here under "Racism suit" (http://\"http://courttv.com/people/2004/0917/barker_ctv.html\") and you see what I mean. I would be better off sleeping with her instead of Paula Abdul!!
