You\'d think that would be the big news... but they discovered that the Women 25-54 demo would have gotten turned off by it.

A new custom is instituted whereas all three contestants celebrate the solving of each puzzle by dancing Gangnam Style a single lap around the wheel.

We\'re really setting ourselves up for disappointment. We\'re going to find out what the thing is, swarm the boards to complain and that\'ll be it.

This is correct. I remember last year when Gwen and Amber posted about something \"big\" happening on Price that day they were tapiing. So everyone was wondering what it was, only to find out that it was a 1/2 Off win, with the only thing making it the slightest bit noteworthy was that it was the first time Amber had modeled the boxes when the game was won.


 


I mean who knows what that person\'s definition of \"big\" is?


 


I\'ll still hope for Chuck Woolery\'s return to Wheel to host Love Connection, with him and Vanna as the subjects.

Me: Of all of the game shows you've hosted besides Jeopardy!, like High Rollers or Classic Concentration, which is your favorite?
Alex Trebek: I'd have to say To Tell The Truth, because it was the first time in my career that I got to sit down while I was hosting.

Whatever it ends up being, it STILL won\'t air in high definition in the Tennessee Valley.


 


BTW, Chris L., has Wheel gone HD in Seattle yet?

Knowing Henke, Cincinnati is probably mentioned in a puzzle.

Considering Henke isn\'t the original info source I doubt it.

That would be something big.

Soooo... the models consider something being big when it really isn\'t that big? Sounds like my kind of model.

The thing is, if a million dollar win happened on the road, don\'t you think it would have leaked out by now?

Sadly, no. Even a $1,000,000 win, though not commonplace, has already happened frequently enough in game shows that I can easily imagine one not being considered newsworthy enough to be explicitly spoiled anywhere.

(And who\'s to say it didn\'t technically leak? If the event is a $1,000,000 win, here\'s how I imagine it went down: A random New York City audience member says, \"Cool, I just saw them give away a million dollars. And hey, here\'s a \'Wheel of Fortune\' message board. I\'ll e-mail the moderator and let them know it\'s coming up.\" And then the moderator, not wanting to spoil the result but also unable to contain himself, posts a vague message saying something big is going to happen.)

Here\'s a much more possible answer: Caesars is running a promotion where 20 players nationwide win $50K and a trip to Vegas, where one of the 20 picks up an additional $1 Million.


 


If there is a Millionaire win on the show, this is a good \"look at the shiny!\" diversion.
