Hello, everyone! Glad to be a member of these forums, as I've been a fan of Wheel of Fortune ever since it went nighttime in 1983. I've always loved game shows and wanted to be a contestant on one all my life. Then, this year, I finally had my chance! Before I tell you more, here's a little bio of me.
NAME: Jonathan Darrall AGE: 30 LOCATION: Greenville, SC OCCUPATION: Test Prep Instructor/Community Relations Developer
I'd love to tell you all my story about how I decided to apply (on a whim, really), my audition, some personal insight, and my taping. I've got a lot of great stories from Culver City, where I taped on November 15. My show will air as part of an "America's Game" week on April 25, but my fellow contestants' shows will air during "California Coast" week from February 25 to March 1. Watching all the shows being taped was extremely exciting, but being on the floor of Stage 11 was even more exhilirating, and I cannot wait to tell you more.

Congrats, Dan! Most likely, you're going to get an e-mail first, so watch for that. If you got the letter confirming your appearance, it could be any time within a few weeks, or over a year. They usually make their decisions on a Monday or Tuesday. Just make sure you can do everything you can to make the tape date...it will ALL be worth it! Stay in touch!
