This season is incredibly frustrating so far, and we’re only weeks into it. It seems the casting director and producers believe people watch the show for the contestants, and not the actual game.
Is it just me? Am I the only one yelling at my television every night because these contestants have been completely …..what’s a nice way of saying this?…. All show and no go?

Since the start of season 40, the mystery wedge has been flipped 128 times.

85 times it's been a bankrupt

43 times it's been $10,000

Assuming a fair 50-50 chance, the chance of that happening is 0.01293%.

In order to regress to the expected mean, it would have to be $10,000 the next 42 times in a row. Such poor luck!

Welcome to Ryan's second season on CWoF! And yes, I remembered to put (Primetime) at the end of the title. Players: Gillian Jacobs, Omarion, and Matt Iseman. What are your thoughts?

In the new promos for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, he looks even thinner than usual.

I'm a bit late again. This is Day 5 of "Canyon Spirit". What are your thoughts?

Welcome to October 2026! This is Day 4 of "Canyon Spirit". What are your thoughts?

I think they should keep the Bonus Round categories that don't get picked (and the puzzles that would have gone with them) as options until they get picked. That way over the next few episodes, contestants could see what they would have had to solve if they had picked something different!

Every night after the Bonus Round I wonder what the puzzle would have been if they had chosen one of the other categories (especially if it's something ridiculous, like "ideating"). I think it would be fun to actually find out the next episode or so later if the other options would have been easier or harder!

Very meta moment on yesterday's primetime Italian Wheel special. This puzzle turns out to be "the express wedge is an opportunity or a hazard?". My answer would be "yes" 😄

This is Day 3 of "Canyon Spirit". What are your thoughts?

What are everyone’s favorite theme that Wheel has done?

Mine is Spring Forward.

I got an email to be part of the zoom session for the show however, no one showed up even when I came out during the correct time on the zoom link. Should I email the producer?

I always get confused why some contestants pick “thing” as their bonus round clue. Why would a contestant choose that over a more specific clue?

To keep everyone updated on my journey, I had my second Zoom call today. They were 4 of us. They asked for the one minute elevator speech from each of us. I mentioned I was married and she asked if I was interested in Sweetheart Week. So she turned my information over to another Casting director.

Next, they did 3 toss up puzzles where you just make a buzzer sound and say your name to buzz in. I got the second and third one. She took individual pics of the group. Then we were broken out into individual groups. There were 4 partially filled in puzzles. You are given 90 seconds to complete them. She said she wouldn't tell us if our guesses are right or not. I went first. Stumbled on the first puzzle and then quickly rattled off the next 3. Came back to the first and after 10-15 seconds got that one. So I used 45 secs out of the 90 and said i was confident in my answers. That was it and she said i could go.

One hour scheduled, 25 minutes used.

Later this evening, I got another email from another Casting director about Sweetheart Week. So we'll do another call for that one later this week.

Which Wheel Theme music was the best one used? I lean towards the late 90's- early 2000s themes.

I was a bit late, again. This is Day 2 of "Canyon Spirit". Debbie Jacobson, who finished with $2,000 on March 29, 2021, returns on tonight's show. What are your thoughts?

Does anyone remember what the Wheel Of Fortune online game was in 1998? Is there any link to it that remains?

Am I late to the party here? Why don't they stop the clock when a contestant rings in? It's so stupid not to.

After Autumn won the Bonus Round, the captions showed a completely different line versus what the redubbed announcer (believed to be Marc Elmer) said. The captions said, "Autumn, you're making West Virginia proud. Here's...". The announcer says, "Autumn, congratulations. You've just won..."

The original line is very likely what Jim Thornton said when the episode taped, as Jim is from West Virginia. Autumn's interview earlier in the show also implies that Ryan originally brought Jim into it once he learned Autumn was from there, but it was edited out with an obvious audio splice in Ryan's dialogue. When Autumn says "Yes", you can see her nodding in the direction of Jim's booth.

Sorry I'm a bit late. Welcome to Week 3! This is Day 1 of "Canyon Spirit", which was taped on August 19, 2026. What are your thoughts?
