Confirmed: No remote for (at least) Season 33

You guys are making a big deal out of nothing. There is no rule saying the show has to travel, it's still the same show and the same Wheel regardless of where they are, and there are still plenty of people willing to make the trip to California to be on the show.

Something like this probably wouldn't have happened if the show hadn't deliberately stopped offering prizes other than cars and trips. They shot themselves in the foot with that move 15 years ago.


My first thought upon seeing the news was also about the leaks, but more in a "Well, our plans for international shows got leaked, so screw you we're not gonna do it." kind of way.


I think this can be solved by having a separate "road show" Wheel and puzzle board. Use less expensive/heavy electronics, maybe have just a three-line puzzle board, and go the "cardboard, paint, and light bulbs" route for the Wheel with the same amount of resistance that the current Wheel has. The cost of making the new props will be offset by their much lower transport costs.


If somebody who has some connection to the show is reading this: returning champions, no limits barring "team" weeks and the like. And for "team" weeks and such, bring back the Friday Finals. Heck, get celebs playing the game again, because I seriously don't think every single celeb ever all unanimously decided to stop playing your game.

Let's just do exactly the same 39 weeks as S32, even the Hawaii weeks because with all the Hawaii PPs they basically are in Hawaii

I actually live in the same town as the IBM TJ Watson Research Center where those shows were taped. I definitely would have went if they had invited the public, but they only allowed IBM employees and reporters to watch. I didn't even know about the tapings until that same day when the local news did a story on it.

Jess pretty much confirmed that was the case last November, yeah. I still say increasing the price of vowels to $1,000 or $1,500 would help things a bit.

You know, it'd be cool that perhaps to make up for not doing any remotes they instead did a celebrity week.

It may be a far off possibility, but hey, I'm a hopeful person.

To have celebrities pair up with contestants is always nice since money goes to charity, but there was something I wanted to bring up here since no remote tapings will be done.

You have those location tribute weeks like Wheel Loves L.A., Wheel Loves New York, Wheel Loves Hawaii, Salute to Chicago, etc. Would city tribute weeks make a good substitute for remote tapings? Who thinks so/not and why?

If I get picked for Denver Week, that would be ironic.
