Okay I have been wanting to accumulate my thoughts on this issue for a while & as I watch the show right now I decided it would be a good time to critique Drew Carey on the Price is Right. Being as though I have watched the show probably 97523874 times more than he has and nearly all of my life, I feel the right to be able to do this...
1. First off, he seems to be flabbergasted by the fact that one of the models is pregnant. Has he ever seen a pregnant lady before? We all can see her bump very clearly and she probably doesn't want him to draw even more attention to it.
2. When tomato juice or asprin or cinnamon rolls are advertised with the opening bid, it doesn't mean that they should go with everything. He dwells too much about how interesting a combination it is for tomato juice and a wine cabinet is.
3. Drew, did you ever take a math class in school? He has a really hard time when people are spinning the wheel to add up what their two spins were. One time I was watching and he totally did not add them up correctly and the guy went off stage and had to come back on because Drew doesn't know how to add.
4. When new models are on the show, the last thing they want is for Drew to point out the fact that they are new.
5. You would think CBS would hire someone who actually knows how to play the games or they would train someone a lot better than they have trained him. In the push over game, there has to be four numbers in the price. Obviously if the first number is a zero it can't be a price in the hundreds. There is four spaces for a reason.
6. The whole fun of TPIR is about the games. Drew, don't rush through them. Let average Americans enjoy the air time that they are television.
7. Ya it is nice for people to say hi to their friends but I don't think a good time for that is while the wheel is spinning. If they really want to say hi to someone they will ask for permission like they did when Bob was the host.
8. How can an 80+ year old man make a golf putt and Drew, however old he is, cannot. Drew, practice your putting.
9. Where did the word alcazam come from? Not feeling it so much.
10. He needs to try to encourage the contestants more. Don't tell them this is the easiest game because if they lose they will feel even more like a failure.
11. When people bid one dollar or one dollar over someone else's bid, we all know they are trying to win. You don't need to point out that it's strategy. They know what they are doing.
I know I shouldn't be judging people but I am writing this to make obvious the fact (even though it's obvious already) that TPIR will never be the same. I know Drew is doing his best but I just don't get excited anymore to watch the show. I am not degrading him or anything, I just feel like getting out my feelings about the show. I am really not intending this blog to be rude. If I could talk to him and give him advice I so would. I seriously thought about writing to CBS lol But I am thankful that the show did not completely go off air and that they found a good match for a host. I guess I need to just accept the fact that Bob Barker is amazing and did so much for the show and now Drew is doing his own thing, which he has the right to do. Maybe when Drew retires I could become the host?! Ha, ya right... :)
