One $100,000 wedge (or $1 Million instead if that's in play) -- I presume the rest is up to the producers and can be adjusted according to budget needs.

The set looks awful without cars. The weird spires don't do much for a backdrop, and now you have a bunch of unnecessary open (read: dead) space. Of course, this is the same show that has 70% dead space on one of the wedges. Go figure.

/Misses the spinning car platforms with the wheel patterns on them[/quote]I looked at the set at the Wheel website, and it's just plain dull. Since they have 'Room With A View' theme this week, they should have put two hotel room interiors on both ends of the set, and brightened the set a bit with some white lights.
[/quote]I can tell you what. That set is the most dull moment in the history of Wheel of Fortune ever.

Does it violate your ministry's sacred code?

This demands a countdown of the 100 Dullest Moments in Wheel of Fortune History. I'll lead off.

#100 - October 17, 1985: After spinning $150 to start a Round 2 puzzle, the player in the yellow position incorrectly guesses a D.

"I landed on your mother's fur space, Trebek!" Oh wait, wrong Merv Griffin show...

#96: Someone on the March 14, 1990 episode of daytime Wheel solves the first round puzzle for $125.

#95 October 22, 1986 The yellow player leads by $8,000. During the blue player's turn, the final spin bell sounds. Pat's spin yields a $700 space with one consonant remaining in the puzzle.

\In that situation, after Pat said, "Vowels are worth nothing, and consonants are worth ...," I'd always complete his sentence, "next to nothing."
