ES loves the wheel. Auditioning would have gotten you a tattoo avatar for sure...

She had the week off since I was at the beach, so she probably could use the money. I'll be sure
and tell her.

I think that dress should be cut a little higher.

Re: Wheel of Fortune came here for auditions...
Wof comes to Chicago almost every year. I go to the auditions and never get chosen. The venues hold about 8000-10000 people and they only randomly draw about 90 people to audition. Does anyone know if they come to the Big D?

They come every so often, but not every year. A few years ago, the Wheelmobile was at the State Fair.geoffil wrote:Wof comes to Chicago almost every year. I go to the auditions and never get chosen.

Re: Wheel of Fortune came here for auditions...
Not going to lie... I laughed hard at ES's creation about me. Too funny.
Seriously, though... I just don't like the show. I'm pretty much the greatest Wheel of Fortune player of all time, so beating someone at the puzzles is the only thing that could make me watch it. Wheel used to be good a long time ago, but they keep adding more and more new junk. Plus, with all of these Wheel Watchers/Sony Card/Spin ID/whatever promos that they have, there's only like two minutes of actual gameplay. It's rather irritating.
Now Jeopardy, on the other hand... I'd love to be on there. Too bad I'd never make it.

No, I'm the greatest WOF player of all time. But WOF won't pick me as a contestant for the same reason that WWTBAM won't: Because I know the game too well and I would take all of their money.

Re: Wheel of Fortune came here for auditions...
I'm not saying that I'm the best. I'm just curious if you realize what a completely egotistical statement that is in this company.

Well, you've got to know that I say things like that a lot. I'm not a cocky person... I mean it all in fun.

WoF is still fun, but not that much of a challenge for me. I've been doing crossword puzzles since I was six. Still wish they had a tournament of champions.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Re: Wheel of Fortune came here for auditions...
See, that's one thing they really should bring back... returning champions. That would definitely help add some interest to the show. It's too boring seeing new people every day. I mean, can you imagine a Jennings-like run on Wheel? That would be enough to make me watch.

Speaking from experience (although not as experienced as Gordon) Wheel of Fortune is 70% luck and 30% skill. I certainly did not have much of either the day I was on the show.
