Bob Barker was the king of suspense. He knew how to suspend the results for just the right amount of time.

[@erepsekahs]

They invented Bob Barker just to show how really good a game-show host could be.....and no one has ever equalled him.

[@danielmaddox7792]

Bob dragging a game on when things are good was so much fun to watch

In the incident here, Bob Barker made the woman think that there was $10,000.00 in the 4th hole, while in the other incident, he made the man who gave up the $5,000.00 think he was about to end up with less money before telling him that he won the $10,000.00.

It's called Punchboard.

[@acotbc]

You could tell that the first slip was $5,000 before Bob revealed it. I think they made the paper slips thicker in later years.

They changed from white slips to yellow by the following year.

Drew will never be Bob. Drew still looks uncomfortable and nervous at times and he’s been the host for years now.

[@mattalbrecht7471]

100% agree. Now the "virus" that has been a part of "Let's Make A Deal" infected "Price" and people feel the need to dress outrageously to get noticed by a producer before taping to get called

[@catherine6482]

People also conducted themselves in a more composed manner. Seems most feel they have to act like an idiot. Almost wonder if they are encouraged/coached to behave bafoonishly.

Hook the last few seasons, they wore that blue blouse a lot with different colours of blazers, pants, and skirts, it looked the best with either white, ivory or navy blue pants or skirts, it totally clashed with the red or maroon skirts that they sometimes wore with it, fashion faux pas.
