During the 2nd version of Wheel of Fortune in my country, I was around 6 then so that is the only version that I've watched on tv, besides the U.S. Wheel.
One thing that I've noticed in this version is that the opponents are cheering "Bankrupt" or "Lose a Turn" to the one in control of the wheel.
Any versions that also has the same habit by the contestants?

For legal reasons, we're not allowed to do that on the American version as the staff members, mainly the contestant coordinators, frown upon that sort of behavior and that would be considered as bad sportsmanship.

Well, it's sorta funny to hear Philippine contestants, even celebrities cheering for their opponents to hit penalty wedges. |

Yeah, I saw that happen all the time on 2008 Philippine Wheel. I'm like, "Yikes. No wonder this has a Parental Guidance rating."
Thinking about it some more, however, I can't help but wonder if the Power wedge has a bit to do with this unsportsmanlike conduct that clearly seems to be discouraged on the American version.

I didn't really mind them shouting bankrupt and/or lose a turn. It seemed to keep things much more light hearted and was more comical if it was actually hit.

In Italy sometimes they did it during the 2007 revival.

Pardon for the bump, but just this week, after some digging, I stumbled upon a portion of a Philippine Wheel episode from 2008 that had the Round 4 layout! Seen in the video is the very rare P200,000 wedge sandwiched between two Bankrupts, taking the place of the Power Wedge when in play for the first two rounds. The wedge seems to be made of the same shiny material as the Power wedge. I'm assuming it works the same way as the P100,000 wedge in Round 1 and can be spent on vowels.  Back in 2013, germanname1990 over on his DeviantArt page had the layout for this round, which, even if an episode with the wedge hadn't surfaced, had the correct placement for the big money spot! |
