I like the idea...though it seems as if it could be confusing to the general public. I think the ideal solution is just to get rid of it! But then the maingames would output a lot, lot lower winnings!  It's better than trips to the Caribbean being won on a daily basis. |

Either that, or add what the prize would be to the wheel before the third round, like they used to.

You can't spend any of that, so you need to spin the wheel.

The $750 wedge is also out of retirement.

Is that something you know, or is it your prediction?

There are plenty of values I'd like to see again.
I hope when they bring back $1500 (if they do) that it will stay by the Bankrupt as it's the only four-digit value I've never seen unadjacent to a Bankrupt.
Bringing back $750 from the grave would also be nice. And apart from the set pieces back in the late 80s and early 90s, we haven't seen $650 and $850 since the 70s and $950 at all. Maybe $950 will make its grand debut, and $650, $850, $2000, and if we're lucky, $1250 will all make their first nighttime appearance.
I mean the first time I've ever seen $650, $850, and $2000 as playable values were actually point values on Wheel 2000 (850 points only on the alternative Bravo Card set). But I didn't know those values existed on the adult version until I saw Mike Slesinki's old WOF illustrations back in 2000 if not 2001. I actually still have those illustrations from his site.

I think the prizes must be removed from the wheel before the $3000 toss up is played. I hope there will be 8 rounds of play in this season.

If you count tossups and the BR, that's basically 8 rounds, but if you don't, Wheel would have to be an hour to complete that.  |

And what's wrong with Wheel being an hour mystery, It would certainly be better than an hour of other shows

Expansion to one hour isn't happening. Most stations already pair Wheel with Jeopardy, and an expansion of Wheel would displace Jeopardy somewhere else...forcing stations to take away time that they already use for other programs.
Plus, if they DID expand to an hour, then the average earnings would likely go down, since it would cost more to put on the one hour show.

Wait...what's the "Bravo Card" set? It was a smaller version of the Wheel 2000 set used for a nationwide contestant search tour (similar to the Wheelmobile). Bravo Card was their sponsor. |

And how I know about this set was that I've actually been there when it came to Navy Pier back on November 1, 1997. My mother had some pictures taken along with a play of the game and me spinning the wheel (although I couldn't play because I was just a few months short of being able to). I also got to meet David Sidoni in person. ;D

My list of (unrealistic) changes:
- If they keep the Prize Puzzles, make the prizes have lower value. $2,000 at the most. They should also give out things other than trips, too.
- If they remove Prize Puzzles, put a $1,000 space starting on Round 3, and $1,500 in Round 4 and up.
- Change the theme. For some reason I don't like it.
One thing I would like to see are Red Letter Prize Puzzles. They only earn the prize if they unscramble the word.

Those aren't exactly "unrealistic"...I agree with most of them. |
