I think this was also in 1988 that Janice got injured from being hit by a camera that floored her to the stage below.

I don't really recall the models slandering Barker - it was the other way around (especially with Holly, as he thought she was 'fat', and 'difficult to work with', while none of the people on the show ever said that.) When Barker sued Holly for slander, all of the models and other personnel on the show said that Barker lied about it, and after he settled with her, they were all fired by him for telling the truth in that case, so who's REALLY the dirty one here?

@fulfilledbydarkness Yeah, this guy definitely hates women!

[RPSteve]

But the original ones used when M.E got it's own set of podiums. Know what I'm saying?

[RPSteve]

the pricing game "Most Expensive" that was being played here, them tall podiums with numbers 1, 2, and 3 on them, the ones I like the best are the original ones. Not the ones from the game "5 Price Tags" that would have the numbers for the playing of M.E

@MTWyldhk Hate women? No, I don't hate women. They certainly do have their uses. I just think there comes a time when they should be put out to pasture.

@RPSteve I used to work @ TVCity. You're close, but if Barker had not wanted Dian to pose nude in Playboy then she couldn't have done it.The only way Dian was able to pose naked was because Barker arranged it for her.The troubles Barker had with Janice, Holly, Kathleen, Alter & all the other scandals were because of his relationship with Dian, not because he broke up with her, but because he fired her & she sued him & he wanted those people to lie for him and they didn't, so he fired them too.

[MTWyldhk]

@fulfilledbydarkness Gee Dude, hate women much?

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

@RPSteve Janice, Holly & Kathleen have said that "Modelgate" began w Dian having sex w Bob, which she did because she wanted to do Playboy but CBS told her no. When she started sexing w Bob, Dian got preferential treatment, & could do almost whatever she wanted, including posing in Playboy. She even made & sold sex video of herself. Dian getting preferential treatment from Bob created problems for others. After Bob stopped having sex with Dian he fired her, she sued, & that's how it all started.

[RPSteve]

@DENo1MatchGameFan Dian Parkinson wanted to go into Playboy while she was in a relationship with Bob Barker, but Bob Barker didn't want her to but she went and did it anyway. And then Bob broke off the relationship and unfortuneately it sparked troubles between him, Janice, Holly, Kathleen and Paul Alter. I'm just wondering now, what's your take on how the troubles started backstage?

[oldfart387]

The love of Holly was kind of like the appreciation of Mary Ann over Ginger. Plus she is WAY hotter than the other 2. Of course I wouldn't kick Dian out of bed. WHAT AM I SAYING? I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed!!!

[fulfilledbydarkness]

I've never understood the attraction to Janice.Dian had the tits, Holly had those long legs...but Janice? Another old broad trying to look young.
