i think the real reason they stopped airing these thursday night prime time specials was because bob got mugged too many times by excited contestants....
Ironically enough pannoni1 for season 37 of PIR they will raise the stakes of the wheel if you get the dollar. $10K for the two green sections, $25K for landing on the dollar.
i think thats stupid why they're changing it, everybody's known it as $11,000 for all these years and know it's $26,000 it doesn't have quite the ring to it
They are raising it because the same old doesn't work for 30 years. Especially with other game shows like Wheel of Fortune adapting to the times... adding a Million dollar wedge and in the bonus wheel.
Are they changing the $1,000 for the first dollar and the $5,000 for the green sections too? If you want it to "sound better", maybe make the first dollar $5K, the green sections $6K and the second dollar $25K. That way, they win $5,000, $11,000(!) or $31,000.
Times are changing $10K is great and all but winning somewhere between $11K - $26K is great. Besides that type of money is great for the daytime version. When PIR returns to do the $1,000,000 specials the range is good for someone to win big. $5K for the one dollar. In the bonus spin $25K in the green for $30K total. $50K on the dollar for $55K total. That's what makes it fun as you pull for someone to make the most of that chance.
Sorry, everybody; this is an edit from my last comment:
I LOVE THIS CLIP! Velma looks more African American than Hispanic to me. At first I thought her name was either Alma or Thelma because I couldn't see her name tag clearly. But even though she lost the van in One Away, and the Showcase, she still won $11,000and the IUFB that got her up onstage, so that isn't bad.

But even thoug she lost the van in One Away, and the Showcase, she still won $11,000 and the IUFB that got her up onstage, so that isn't bad.
Because they wanted to use just a shot of the wheel. The split-screen graphic was brought back in November 2007, only different, and is implemented on every contestant's first spin. One half shows the contestant and Drew Carey, and the other half shows the spinning wheel, without the arrow used previously. Before that, it was used on CBS' Game Show Marathon, except the outline of the arrow was green instead of red, and the background was clear instead of black.
Bob helped a lot of animals over his life, just one of the many great things that man did during his days on this earth. You and I have a bond in our admiration and love for Bob Barker!
Was Rod still doing PYL the same time the '86 Special aired, or was PYL gone at this point in 1986? Speaking of PYL, the whooping sound and bells can also be heard on the 1st and 3rd Home Player Spin sweepstakes during the 1st and 3rd seasons of PYL
She's Hispanic, I believe. Her name is Velma Mayo, from the 1986 special. She just lost a van in One Away. She goes to the showcase, but goes over. Her opponent won a motorhome.
Stop hatin. LOL Like Godzillaman said, $10K was a lot back in '86 and even if half went to the IRS it was still pretty decent back then. Bob's been through worse than that anyway, that was nothing. It's not just the money, it's the whole experience of being there and winning money from Bob and the audience cheering and everything. Americana at it's best. Bob will be sorely missed.

I really don't think Velma minds. I mean, winning your IUFB plus $11,000 would be very nice, even if I lost my pricing game and showcase.
Be nice if Velma did win her showcase, though.
