FANTASTIC SHOW OVERALL !!!!!!
Lots of fun watching and the funniest moment of all is Bob nearly messing up Squeeze Play and he even gave Aaron the 1 to keep as a souvenir which I'm pretty sure he still has today.
It never seems to amaze me that whenever the train depot showcase pops up, and it's shown first, it always gets passed over to the runner-up, even on Tom Kennedy's version of the show, the train showcase popped up at least four times and it got passed over to the runner-up. Do the top winners not like the prizes the train delivers to the depot ? I think they're nice ! I could use a riding lawn mower and that piano looked nice as well. I also thought placing luggage out on the conductor's platflorm
was a nice move although I'm not sure why they stopped it after a while.
I also think this was Lanisha's second week back at TPiR after previously appearing as a stand-in Claudia, who departed last December right before Christmas Week, in early 2003.
Randy West did a pretty decent job as the announcer, he made his debut in November
2003 shortly after Rod passed away. For me, it was a toss up between Randy and
Burton Richardson on who I think would've been the perfect replacement for announcer.
I said Burton because I liked his smooth style and classic humor and Burton's definitely not a stranger to TPiR, making his mark on Doug Davidson's version on the show back in the mid-90s and making his debut on Bob's version in 2001 as a stand-in for Rod
and appearing off and on when needed over the next three years and returned briefly
in 2006 as a stand-in for Rich. I also thought Burton could pull double duty, considering the fact he did it before when Louie Anderson's version of " Family Feud " was on back in 2001 and then John O' Hurley's version of " To Tell the Truth " one year later.
I think Burton would've been the perfect choice, but that's my opinion.
There you have it, all.
THE FULL AND COMPLETE RECAP and again, I'm sorry for the mix-up.
