This thread is just ramming home the fact that Wheel of Fortune is the shite.

I find it odd that every contestant has a "beautiful" wife or "wonderful" husband. THAT is rigged....

I caught Wheel of Fortune last night for the first time in months just flipping through channels. The contestants can be really fricking dumb sometimes. This lady knew what the puzzle was and was behind in points. She had it going to where she would give little mini spins and was racking up money and catching up to the leader. But then she kept buying vowels - helping the other contestants out and wasting money. And to top it all off, she gets to the part where she landed on the middle of the million dollar piece, and nervously throws out a letter that was obviously not right.

I met a guy who worked on the show and one thing he told me was they racially profiled. Each show had to have a minority and preferably a good looking woman. Now every time I watch it it's amazing how he was right.

I don't think either of those instances qualify as racial profiling

Not that I ever watch this show, but I recall the old format had one bankrupt and one lose a turn. To make it more intetesting, they upped the prizes and money, but also added more risk in spinning.

Remember when you picked prizes from the themed showroom? It was sad when someone had no money to buy anything good. Pat would move it along and chime in, "how about that People magazine subscription for $50?"

Was watching last night too. She knew Sandra Bullock but didn't know the movie Gravity. That has to suck.

I was yelling at the tv. Why the hell did she keep buying vowels? And then the dumb bitch is cutting jokes after embarrassing herself.

I’d like to bump this thread. Tonight on wheel they get to the last puzzle before the final round.

They let the guy spin the wheel. He then answers a letter and gets to spin again. He magically hits bankrupt right as the bell rings to signal pats final spin.

It was blatantly obvious they wanted to level the playing field for the final run.
