My name is Karen, and I am flying to Los Angeles next week to appear on Wheel of Fortune!!!
I auditioned in January in New Orleans, but I never received a letter in the mail. Last week I received a call from Shannon, inviting me to be a contestant. I am sooooo excited! She followed up with an email, and I am supposed to get a FedEx package this week. Needless to say, I am waiting at the window every day for the FedEx man!
Anyone else on here audition in NOLA?

Yay! Another actual contestant (or future, in your case). Congratulations! Welcome aboard! Be sure to read all of the tips and strategies we have on the site...and if you make the bonus round, pick BGHO. You'll thank us later. It worked for Jared earlier this season.  Enjoy your time on the show, and best of luck! |

Thanks to everyone who responded!
My FedEx package came in today, and now I've got a ton of questions and things to do. I'm not the most fashionable girl around, and I think the wardrobe instructions go on for 2 pages alone. lol
I will be sure to read up on all of your tips!

Good luck, Karen, and have a safe trip to LA. If you have any questions (or if you want to practice with any real-life opponents on the Wheel iPhone/iPod game  ), just ask.  |

The minute I got back from my trip, my computer broke. I finally got it up and running, and just in time. My episode airs Friday, January 6th!
It was an absolute blast taping the show, and I can't wait to share all the details with you!

Just received calls from my mother-in law and brother-in-law. They both saw me on the weekly WOF clip commercial on their home station. I guess I'll have to spend the day watching my local channel in hopes they play it here! lol

You can watch an extended version of that clip on the "This Week" section of wheeloffortune.com.
(Obviously, spoiler alert for anyone else who chooses to watch the clip)

They haven't updated the video on the site, yet. It has the other info for California Coast week (i.e. the Contestant Blog and Vanna's wardrobe.) But the video is still Best of the Best from last week.  I do keep checking the site, though. lol |
