Have the models wear bikinis!
« on: February 19, 2007, 02:19:56 PM »
Do you think it's time for the models to wear bikinis on the show instead of those old-lady one piece swimsuits? Seriously, what person in their 20's wears a one-piece anymore?

Um, Duff, the answers are as follows...

1: THEY DO!!! (just not every day)

and B: Rachel Reynolds, Lanisha Cole, Phire Dawson - up until a couple of weeks ago (the other two are in their 20s, still), and thousands of anonymous ladies who don't make their living doing so.

Seriously, this is hardly an issue worth pursuing.

Why does what swimsuit they are wearing make any difference?

I am now officially at a loss for words.

Someone who isn't a size 0 or 2, someone who doesn't want to bare all but a few key areas on daytime television on what's supposed to be a family show. I'll admit that my male curiosity wants to know where you are that women in their 20s only wear bikinis, but this is The Price Is Right, not CSI: Miami.

Something you will always notice on the show is that thought the models are supposed to be beautiful (of course, they're called "Barker's Beauties"), they're always dressed tastefully. No deep plunging necklines, no micro-mini length skirts, always classy, even the swimwear. And Price is a classy show.

If they were to wear bikinis the guys would go wild and crazy and it would be a bit too much or over the line for the crew of the show to handle that.

My head's gonna explode over the influx of less than intelligent posts by Mr. Nationusa.

A word of advice to Duffman (oh yeah):  Read the FAQs and read the forums for a few weeks to get an idea of the forum's ways.  20 posts in roughly 2 days is ridiculous.  This isn't a race to 500/1000/2000/etc. posts.

I always wanted to see a post about this! LOL! Seriously, I think the models should wear bikinis sometimes, not all the time, like around 91-92... But I bet bikinis are coming back next season.

And your problem with all of the above responding to him is...?

Anyway, Duff has been dealt with by the boss. He's vapor.

Although, you have to admit...for all the vapor he gave us, this topic is actually perfectly valid and probably a good thing to bring up.

I agree with the sentiment that there's no need for bikinis on the show, so why bother with adding them for a G-rated show?  (Not that I would be opposed to them showing up occasionally, though. :-))

FINALLY!! Someone's brought up this topic. I totally agree, bring back the bikinis. I have no clue why they got rid of them. During Gameshow marathon Rachel wore a bikini and she looked gorgeous! It can definitely be done while still looking classy. I even read an article on Gabrielle and even she was puzzled as to why they wear 1-piece swimsuits. I also hate the fact that not only do they wear 1-piecers, but they were these gigantic wraps. Hopefully if there's a silver lining to Bob's retirement, the bikinis will return back like in Dian's days.

The models stopped wearing bikinis sometime in the mid 90s, at the height of the Dian Parkinson scandal. Stan also mentions in his book about wanting to tone down the show and making it more family friendly. Anyone remember when Dian always closed the show bending down, waving goodbye, and blowing a kiss to the audience?

While we're on the subject (sort of), isn't it odd that Dian's departure from the show was acknowledged on the air, but Bob never mentioned the disappearance of Holly, Kathleen or Janice on the air?
