Keep in mind that this is intended as a temporary gig. Rob Wilson, the winner of the male model search, will only appear on the show during the week of October 15-19.

Unless there's a male model I've missed somewhere, we in the U.S.
are actually 'way behind the times; the Australian version of "Sale
Of The Century" was using them in the '70s.

And who just *happened* to be the weatherman in that newscast, but former TPIR announcer Rich Fields, who IMO is way better than that spazzy excuse for an announcer they have on the show now.

Do you mean George Gray, who used to host the daytime
version of "The Weakest Link"? I really can't speak for him
as an announcer since I catch him only if I have an early lunch,
but I liked him better than Anne Robinson; he could be just as
cutting, but it didn't (to me, anyway) come off as snippy as her
putdowns.

Wasn't Rich Fields let go so Drew could have a comedian to work
with? And how did "Wheel Of Fortune" pass on him; he could have
worked out just fine when Charlie O'Donnell passed away.

Right about now, does anybody miss Johnny Olson?

Total publicity stunt.

Well, at least this isn't a sweeps month stunt or anything!
