And I need your help. I thought, since The Price is Right has its own detailed FAQ on another reputable forum-based website, WOFL could make one for Wheel. This won't be a simple one-person thing -- we'd need a similar Wiki-based program as that used on the other site, plus (since I'm definitely not a Wheel expert) input from members here. I'll happily write a first draft with info from Season 26, plus brief host and hostess bios; with Mark's permission, I'd like to use his recaps as a sort of "base". Still, I won't promise anything because this could bomb faster than Wheel 2000. Post any questions or concerns you may have, and I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. Thank you.  |

Now that sounds like a very good idea, wario. And yes, you have my full permission to use my recaps as a base for this project.

I thank you, sir -- although I'm concerned with the layout, especially regarding new locales and such. Plus there's the other versions to contend with, and...well, we'll get to that later.

*bows* Thank you, sir - although I am concerned as to the layout. What is it about the layout that concerns you? |

I wouldn't mind a layout similar to that on the other site, as I feel more comfortable with that. If I can get that, I can start working -- right now, I'm working in a Microsoft Word document.
My other thought is the episode numbers, although the ones here and on the show's official forum (albeit unofficial recaps) seem to match up. So no worries for the moment.

I'll see what I can do about the layout for my recaps.

I'll see what I can do about the layout for my recaps. I wasn't talking about your recaps, Mark -- I was referring to the Wikipedia-style layout used here. Something like that would be required for me to store my information. Sorry if I confused you. |

Whoops. I guess I misunderstood then. Apology accepted.

I've started building the Season 26 listings; since Mark's recaps start at January 21 and have some gaps here and there, I'll begin cross-referencing them with the recaps posted by "WOF Recap Team" on the Sony Pictures forum once I get to that point. The Recap Team has also done part of Season 25 and some other scattered episodes, which I'll cross-reference with anything here.
(NOTE: The following is preliminary and won't be the end result...I hope. I don't want to have to do all this alone, but don't know how we'd split this off.)
====
Week 1 (4876 - 4880): September 8-12
* Season Premiere week.
* This week is "Endless Summer".
* This week's featured car is a Volvo C7 convertible.
* On Monday, the top prize becomes $1,000,000. To compensate for this, the previous limit of $200,000 is abolished.
* On Monday, the Million-Dollar Wedge debuts. The wedge is colored in a sort of sequin-green similar to the $1000 wedge used in the 1990s with ONE $ MILLION DOLLARS written on the top of the wedge in a black font. The obverse uses a similar layout to Bankrupt-$10000-Bankrupt, of which the "$10000" portion is discontinued. The wedge can only be claimed if the contestant who gets it solves the puzzle, avoid Bankrupt for the rest of the game, and win the game itself.
* As of Monday, the "25" and Big-Money wedges no longer appear.
* As of Monday, a contestant who successfully takes the Million-Dollar Wedge into the Bonus Round will be able to play for $1,000,000. In this, the $100,000 wedge is replaced with a Million-Dollar one.
* On Monday, new "Prize Puzzle" and "Jackpot" graphics debut.
* Beginning on Monday, the Bonus Round Wheel begins using a different font and the words "SPIN & WIN AMERICA'S GAME" in place of the previous.
