Card Sharks - A weighty question

[jimmyboyzable]

Wish Bob took his socks off too !

[heine71]

If TPIR offers a carnival weight scale as a prize, Drew Carey could weigh himself on it!

[indianamerican10]

Bob surprised Ailene at 3:35.

[gameshowluvr86]

I've met Bob Eubanks! He was doing a book signing in Dallas... He is WAY fun!! :-D

[BriSchwa82]

@gameshowluvr86 I did too, he was doing the $250,000 Game Show Spectacular in Atlantic City and he was a really fun guy. He loved talking about being picked up by Mt. Fiji.

[SJSharkWannabe]

Of course Gene Wood had to throw a laugher at Bob. :D

[scoobydoo11111]

Bob actually carries soap in his jacket? I didn't know that he had a dirty mouth!

[JimmySand9]

0:06 What a laugh. Eh-hee-hee-hee.

[samsticka]

They once asked Lacey and Susanna if they could name all the capitals of the US under 30 seconds.

[JonSea31]

@samsticka When in the run did that question be asked? Was it earlier in 1987? Around what month?

And how many State Capitals did they name?

[samsticka]

@JonSea31 I have no idea. But they didn't get that many.  I know they got at least one and it was Missouri.

[JonSea31]

@samsticka And they asked Bill Rafferty to name as many items of a certain thing, and it seemed as Bill Rafferty was setting up to allow for an exact guess and a $500 bonus.

And Bob Eubanks removing some of his clothes in this clip? Now I seen everything. Though his weight of 193 lbs back in 1987 was truly my weight back in 2005.

[samsticka]

@JonSea31 No kidding.

[JonSea31]

@samsticka I think, seeing that Bill Rafferty may have set up the listing of certain items in 30 seconds and allowed for an exact guess, and Bob Eubanks' version may have done that as well, so that is probably why those kinds of educated guess questions were short-lived and may have been banned from the show sometime in 1987.

[JonSea31]

@samsticka I don't think Missouri was a state capital. One of the card dealers gave a false answer, so the contestant should have been brought back on a later episode.

[DJJamminC]

Get on the scale will ya!!!!

[samsticka]

Should they be asking kids these questions?

[tbone24100]

No!!

[samsticka]

But yet they did. How odd.

[djcchs2004]

Wait a minute, don't forget your teeth & hair!

[heine71]

Why didn't they weigh Price is Right models of the time Janice, Dian, and Holly for a combined weight?

[TheRealKodizee]

You never see that amount of variety and fun in today's gameshows IMO.

[krazyknight00]

aint that the truth

[briansvoice]

CBS had such a BALL taping Game shows...I miss those days

[foreskin44]

I never see Bob wasted so much time hes always Rushing people thats a shocker

[kes1963]

happy 70 bob

[JPPT1974]

Bob has cute feet I think!

[JonSea31]

Yeah, right. To me, Brandi's and Rachel's are cuter - only if they are in wardrobe sandals, though.

[jimmyboyzable]

@JPPT1974

I quite agree !

[gameshowfreak2007]

lol, what was he doing with a bar of soap in his pocket?

[ESPNavata]

HAHA. Gene Wood even gets in a shot!

[crinos43]

I love that shot Gene did.

[JonSea31]

So that means we were into January 1987 when GSN canned the Eubanks version back in June?

[barber747]

A few years back, we were in 1988. I have an episode to prove it.

[Booboo9921]

i know that. LOL!

[Dannymac82]

Now we all know how many $100 bills bob eubanks holds, lol

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

what are you talking about?

[smpage09]

LOL, i love gene wood....don't forget the hair and teeth!

[JonSea31]

When did this episode originally air?

[Dannymac82]

I am guessing January, 1987

[jermainemack]

Lacey and Suanna never take off their shoes!

[JonSea31]

@jermainemack They wore nylon stockings with high heels back in the day.

Besides, being barefoot is not very hygenic, IMO. Though I do see TPIR models in their bare feet while demonstrating trampolines or standing on a boat being offered, or even sitting in an empty spa. Lacey and Suzanna were ahead of the game with this hygenic practice of wearing nylon stockings, me thinks.

[JonSea31]

@JonSea31 Just to clarify: Current TPIR models.

[JackSpader]

Kind of a racy question for young people's week don't you think?

[baconhead2008]

Agreed. Almost thought it was a Las Vegas casino.
