Wednesday's promo was identical to Monday's, and the "new season" portion of Thursday's promo had no footage not seen in the previous ones.
Earlier today, an article on WABC's website had a clip of the S38 premiere with Pat acknowledging the changes and rambling about "the white thing", but the clip was replaced with their own story on the changes when I went back to the article just now. Somebody please link this clip if you see it in another article.

Oh, it was there the whole time. It just got moved down when they added the second video. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the spinning caps/white things/whatever are silicone handlebar grips for bicycles with the caps taken out. They're pretty cheap online. I can't find the exact one Wheel is using, but this one on Walmart.com is pretty similar. Amazon has colored ones as cheap as $3.99 a pair. Since "no one is allowed to touch another person's white thing", wouldn't it have made more sense to give the players color-coded grips, and maybe only give Pat a white one? |

It would sound kind of silly any other time, but the way things bicycle related were selling this year perhaps it was whatever they could find left for sale? |

"no one is allowed to touch another person's white thing" The jokes write themselves. |

Would it kill Wheel to start offering prizes beyond trips, cars and cash? One of the press pics shows that they will also offer shopping sprees... solely through the Prize Wedge, of course. |

That makes me wonder, when’s the last time they offered an entertainment package? Seems like now would be a good idea to do those again.

^ I recall one during Season 28's Teen Best Friends week.
