Somewhere along the way, I missed something, Steve:  I've read several times about the new opening that was planned.  I've not read that Drew himself nixed it.  Does Drew seriously have enough authority as "just" the host to nix an opening that was produced and paid for and literally ready to go with just a couple of minutes' notice?

Hm...it's possible I misread something John posted.  Now that you mention it, I might be confusing this with the wheel.

Everything's been said, so I only have this to say:

Come Friday, should we learn that every single change we feared is coming true (I'm only saying this half metaphorically) only to have any kind of criticism at all met with "get a life," at that point I'm just giving up.

It seems more and more to me that this place is no longer "discussion of Price is Right" but instead "praise and everything else that isn't criticism of Price is Right." Anyone who steps out of line is slammed down.
I'll put this in here, but I didn't want it to overshadow the more interesting topic of specials. Earlier in the show Mike and Beth talked about Jenny McCarthy's appointment to The View and it leads to Mike talking about her appearance on Price. Mike says that he and the staff mulled over whether or not to have her on the show because of the controversy that follows her. They ultimately decided to have her because she's "a great advocate for what she believes in." Now, Mike didn't specify exactly what he meant by "what she believes in" and what "belief" of her's that he's addressing, but that could certainly be taken the wrong way.

then that's a good sign, is it not?  this could mean that the meeting doesn't concern drew's job or finger's job.

They didn't bring Roger to the meeting where they decided to fire him, friend.

So someone finally names a legitimate source for something, giving out information that is not-at-all a secret to anyone who's been to a recent taping, and his name suddenly has to be redacted?  If this is the nature of all information that's been posted lately from "anonymous" sources whose names must be protected at all costs, I'm even more skeptical than more.

I thought I clearly explained that the source was confusing two situations as one.  Regardless of who it was, they weren't confirming anything you asked.

well now that i think about it, it would make sense for them not to be invited. but still we should stop panicking.  im sure if it was that major of a change we would've heard it on Entertainment Tonight or somethin'.

Okay I think this has just gotten completely out of hand.  We can, right now, not worry about Drew being replaced, because they're in the middle of the season.  They are not going to rock the boat now.  If news like that was going around, some gossip or news site would have been all over that by now.  TopDot, I can already tell, you better be ready to name, to an extent, some sources for that, or you're not gonna remain around here long.

This strikes me as someone from one of the other forums thinking this thread would be funny to troll.

In case anyone doesn't know who Tim Vincent is ('cause I don't), here is a little something about him that I found on Wikipedia:

"Tim Vincent (born Timothy Russell Walker, 4 November 1972), is a Welsh actor and television presenter who is most famous for being a presenter on the popular children's programme Blue Peter between 1993 and 1997. His career has since broadened as a presenter and has presented several Miss World contests and is now based in the United States where he has presented some mainstream shows such as Access Hollywood and Phenomenon (TV series)."

Tim was also a fill-in for Meredith Viera on WWTBAM for a week, and a bad one at that.

I also heard that Tim Vincent hosted the pilot for the GSN version of Chain Reaction.
