So does anyone truly know what the opening now says or what actually did get cut?
I don't think anyone has been able to confirm EXACTLY what the new opening says. But it appears what we have surmised (somewhat confirmed) in this thread a few things, Promoman. First, the opening has obviously changed some, at least shortened. Maybe only by a few seconds. We do not know why, or who was behind it, thus far. However, we have established that (thankfully) "The Bob Barker Studio" remains in there, (per John) Also, there are still four contestants being called, still four "Come On Down's" as well. So no need to be
too worked up, IMO. Especially since we have acknowledged the opening has changed many, many times over the years. For me as long as its still very similar to the same feel, excitement, and cadence of the previous opening, (which it appears to be as per Trapperm) then I am not very worried. It could have been much worse.
