So a blue wedge next to another blue wedge. Although in different shades, it still looks awkward to me.  But will the Jackpot wedge really be used for all rounds? If so, what's the new idea for it? |

Why would the Jackpot be used for all rounds?

I'm trying to ask myself that. I could be wrong on that, but at the same time, something just doesn't seem right.

I know this thread has kind of been gathering dust a bit, but here goes:
-Jackpot: Having it out practically the entire game is pointless and never going to happen. Harry Friedman would never wreck his best perk that badly.
Are you asking about why that plug is still out later? Very simple, it has to be out the entire game because the plug "juts" out into the wheel, so in the rounds it's not used, what was the red $300 covers it.
This plug I'm talking about? I think there's a power source inside the Wheel so that any LED wedge can be simply plugged in. These plugs were introduced in Season 25 for the Big Money Wedge, and are located where Free Play is now (the yellow $400 there previously was snap-on around that time as well), and the "red $300" (even in the year it wasn't used, and the plug is why I think the second Bankrupt was moved).
As for this current wheel...is it just me, or is that next-to-top-dollar Bankrupt hiding something?

Apparently, for the template getting another facelift, I don't know. They could have changed that purple spot to a Bankrupt, or they could've left it at a purple $600 and saved some black paint and ink for later. Who knows? And is that $400 still under the Free Play? The mystery will only deepen for all that. Other questions will still be answered come September 17th. For now, I'm just happy to know that $650 and $700 are back on the Wheel, the former finding its way out of its casket, and the latter just glad to be back after living on a small pension for a year.  |

No, the $400 is almost certainly gone. Like the red $300, it was also snap-on.

Are there new category strips or are they the same ones used since Season 26?

I do hope the category strips will change this season. I also hope they'll also change the music package because the music package used through this past season dates back to Season 24 and Season 25.

They really don't need to change the category strips. They need to learn that they don't have to change every little graphic every little year.

To be fair, the current strips have been in use since season 26.  |

Yeeeeeeeeeeeep... The Facebook description does make it seem like 10 shows... any chance an America's Game airs 12/24-28 and 24-25 are the 6ths, at least to partially it?  EDIT: Is that an... Audi? That they have to double up if it's won to a home viewer? OK Wheel, do what you want... EDIT 2: I just looked back and apparently there will be no 6ths. That's fine I guess... overall a very marginal improvement, an overlap of 2 days from last year, but still not getting to December by the closest possible, ending 11/30, so I still get to be nice & mad. Black Friday & the shopping craze will start, but I still dislike how America starts so early. |

Hi friends - just looking at the front page, I can tell you that the episode for November 6 already taped, Americas Game. It taped the same day as Southern Hospitality (July 26). (I should know, I was there :] )
