^ The 1989 BR they showed had the contestant's letter choices in black.

Just watched the show. My only comment is a selfish one: PP was Fun & Games and had to do with surfing...like mine. At least this one had every vowel in it!!!  All right... I guess I shouldn't just make it all about me. I actually felt bad for Kelly and was hoping she'd win something. Regarding Mario's comment about R2... Didn't she pick Y after all the vowels were gone?? I had the BR with RSTLNE. $50k would have been nice. |

Didn't she pick Y after all the vowels were gone?? Yes, but I didn't mean that. Free Play shouldn't always be used for vowels when available. What I meant was that since she didn't know it and had to keep spinning to either buy more time or luck her way into it, she should have used that Free Play, as Pat implied ("That's not a bad place to be."), for a letter that she was NOT sure was there. |

The 1989 BR they showed had the contestant's letter choices in black. So October 16-December 22, then...assuming, of course, they didn't get the year wrong.  Thanks.  |

Oh I see Mario - my mistake. I've always believed FP should be used for consonants anyway.

Is it me or was $3500 on the Wheel during the BR? I don't see why it would be, but the top dollar wedge seemed purple to me... Looks like it might have actually been the R1 template. I can make out the Jackpot wedge:  |

Yeah, I saw that, hence "I don't see why it would be". It's just that the $2500 looks purple to me there. It must be just the lighting.
