You didn't. You were just pointing out that the list needed to be updated, so now it is.

You're fine, Dan--and thanks to Mario for helping me keep this thing up to date. There have been so many contestants joining BAV as of late, I can hardly keep up! General question about the list: is there a way to automatically number each player on the list, with movements (Dantastic, for example) "autofixing" the numbering? I know little about what kind of code would be necessary to do that, so I apologize if it's not a good/feasible idea. Unfortunately I don't know enough about code on this board that could feasibly do that. It'd be nice, but ultimately I don't think it's that necessary--I personally like to let the list speak for itself.

Fair enough. In that case, would it be a good idea to keep a running tally of the specific number, such as in the closing paragraph? At this point, it's 64 plus the four whose shows have yet to air. Regarding those last four members, an average of about $31,690 will take BAV over the $2,000,000 mark ($126,757 remaining), although I think we would've heard something by now if they were going to push us over the $ 3,000,000 point. (And speaking of updates, I needed to update my signature. )

Consider it changed!
And yes, everyone, please, if you have suggestions as to how this list should be kept, feel free to chime in!

Turns out our running total was off by three bucks. With both me and ten96lt airing this month, something tells me we're going to crack the $2 million mark very soon...unless we both wound up with the pity thousand.

Isn't there another member whose episode is airing this month? Jess told me about it, but I can't remember who it was or the username (something to do with "minister"?). Also, Josh's below-the-avatar tag: "Proud Bearer of the Wheel's Purple Heart". Two meanings came to my mind: * Figuratively tearing the Wheel's heart out, also known as "ransacking Harry's wallet for all that Josh's hands and pockets could carry...or perhaps all a Brinks truck could carry". * The term "Purple Heart" as used by the United States military, a medal given to those who are wounded or killed by the enemy while in active service. Heck, it could mean both (wounded by the "enemy", who I'll call "Friedman" for the sake of a name, but nonetheless managing to achieve a victory that could be likened to having pulled out the Wheel's heart)...or even neither.

Don't read too much into it. I cut my finger on the wheel while spinning it during rehearsal, so the second meaning applies.

Dan, yes, preacherman (Richard), on the 16th, a Wednesday. I'd be able to go to his party, but I sadly have prior obligations, namely filming some stuff I'm in, which ends at 6:45. If he got any other show but Wednesday, I could have made it...ARGH. No chance I could get there by 7, either. Big bummer for me, but them's the breaks.

I made the same mistake when I spun the Wheel after the NYC tapings. If you grab too low, at least one of the flippers will pinch your finger between itself and the peg as it snaps back into place, and those things are very durable. I read somewhere that there are mics near the flippers to amplify their sound, but I've never seen any, and I don't think they're necessary because they're loud enough on their own.

Looks like we've hit the $2 million mark after all! We forgot to add watrlogd, aka Dave Dytrt, who won $58,058 in cash and car the day after dreamoffields swiped the 1/2 Car in just two spins. He's been registered since February...I guess I accidentally missed him as I was compiling the list. Chronologically speaking, though (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), I think Ryan ( madtownman) was the one who actually pushed us over the top. Congrats, BAV contestants, for reaching this historic milestone! Onward to $3 million...

Where applicable, video links have been added for some of our members' appearances on other game shows. Be sure to check 'em out! And if you're a Wheel alum AND a previous game show winner, we'd like to see it! Send any links my way and I'll drop it in the table.

For those of you who haven't noticed yet, Mr. Perfect Maingame himself, a.k.a. Matt ( mfdesanto) from last Friday's episode, is now a member of BAV! Welcome aboard, Matt, and congratulations on your big win! And with that, we are now that much closer to breaking the $3,000,000 mark! Just about $40,000 away!
