Former Contestant Doesn’t Approve Of Drew Carey

Ted Slauson is a super fan of the show. He also participated when Bob was still the host. However, he does not seem to approve of how Drew does things on the show. 

“It’s like he just was going to do things the way he wanted to do them, and it’s like, okay. So that’s why you’ll see when people spin the wheel behind anyone, like, it’s the same over and over and over. And after a while, it’s like, do something different. Everything is always the same. ‘Next prize, please.’ I’m like, seriously, you can’t come up with something different at least a couple times during the show? But I don’t get paid the money. He gets paid, so,”

Yikes. He seems to be getting bored of the same thing happening every time. However, he seems to be pleasing production and most other fans.

  1. Drew Carey brings warmth and kindness to the show and we just love him and the way he shows consideration to the contestants. Drew makes us smile every day and we are fortunate to have such a gentleman with a great sense of humor come into our homes. May he continue to provide the warmth, joy and humor for a long time to come.

  2. Drew IS NOT Bob Barker!! Maybe they should create a Bob Barker AI clone to try and satisfy those Doubting Thomas’s grieving for Bob finally retiring from the entertainment business. Life does go on folks. If you are NOT satisfied with the way the show has progressed

  3. I think Drew is doing great I like his style no one can top Bob Barker because everybody different if you don’t like the way he host’s the show don’t watch it.
