The show was very anticlimatic, low-key; probably by Bob's design. I was expecting tributes, highlight clips, things like that, but it was a near regular game (except the prizes were more made for the prime time edition, a Lincoln Navigator, a Cadillac Convertible).

A woman won two automobiles and over $140,000 in prizes. The last pricing game he played was Any Number which was the first pricing game Bob played in 1972.

They had a few creepy fans they showed, including his last ever contestant that camped out for 5 days, who seemed like he wanted to make out with Bob (the fan was a guy).

The cheesiest part was after the show was over, they showed what looked like a taped scene from after the show in where he walks to the dressing room and cast members and crew are all in the room with champagne. Bob asks, "You know where I am off to immediately" as two Hawaiian shirts were held up. And everyone replied, "Hawaii," but he says, "No, off to the Daytime Emmy Awards Ceremony," and then they proceed to start the Emmy's.

A cheesy send off if you ask me.

I am torn between shows that go out (even though the game show will go on, it won't be the same without BB) as they always have (Seinfeld, Cheers) or go out with a bang (Melrose Place, Dallas). I thought this was fine. Yeah, those contestants were oddly creepy. And what about that lady that almost killed herself spinning the wheel... twice? :eek:

I've always wanted to see a contestant get sucked in under that wheel. :D
