Season 33 Taping/Airing Schedule

Haha mechamind, good point. (And seriously, I tried re-uploading twice )

Speaking of looking at the Wheel, you will be told this tuffy, but it's very easy to look at the wrong arrow when it's spinning. Another former contestant suggested not to even look at the wheel (which is super hard. It's mesmerizing haha). Just let Pat tell you what you landed on and use wheel-spinning time to figure out the puzzle/look at used letter board.

I can't think of anything new that hasn't been said in other spinning stories and advice I've read elsewhere. The Used Letter Board is your best friend. I know people get nervous and stuff, but just look at that and don't say the letter if you don't see it there!

Contestants don't see the puzzle board straight on like I assumed when watching TV. It's all angled out like a theatrical set so you'll be seeing it at a bit of an angle. Not a big deal, it just threw me at first. It won't be a problem though, you get a rehearsal turn or 3.

You've heard it before, but the wheel is harder to spin than it looks. Pull then PUSH AWAY! - You'll get a stronger spin! I'm not for sure, but I think I forgot that second part and will look like a weakling on national TV. But honestly, I don't remember. It will be the most surreal fastest blur of your life.

You've heard this before too, but go in to HAVE FUN! You've already won just by being on the show. And it's possible you'll get unlucky despite being a great puzzle solver. I'm talking about members of our very own community here that left with $1k just because of bad wheel luck. It can happen, so be mentally prepared for that and try not to daydream too much about bonus land.

Also it may have just been my giddiness of being there, but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the phrase "wedge ledge." Seriously, I was smiling like a goof the whole time. So much fun.

And Jim is a PRO! Note the tie he is wearing. He coordinates with the theme of the week! After my taping, I went to watch the show with my family and there weren't empty seats, so they put a folding chair in the aisle with my family. Jim saw me and interviewed me between one of the tapings haha. I don't remember much of what was said. But he's very cool! He does trivia between the tapings and answers questions and stuff for the audience. Best of luck to you and those taping soon!

Great advice Kevin! Tuffy, I used the "don't look at the wheel" approach for my Seattle week taping. I was satisfied with that for the most part, except I had no idea how much $ was in my bank. I was super focused on studying the puzzleboard and I forgot to check my bank. Be sure to check you bank! Lol.

So here's what they're doing for Big Money Week...




You'd think with Price is Right copying your theme that you would try to one-up them. But alas, a season of budgeting.

Wow, that's...even less effort than usual, Wheel. I'm kinda stunned. Not in the "cheers and applause" way, but more in the "why did you even bother with this theme if that's what you're gonna do" way.

I am jealous of you sixth-showers!! I was first and didn't have time to soak it all in (though I luckily went to the afternoon taping the day before). Too excited to see you Mellissa!

I dunno if this has already been discussed and I'm just curious - will the Great American Cities weeks have their own stages or will they all be on the generic stage (and if so, dark or light)?

Since Denver is famous for its great outdoors, I wouldn't be surprised if the setting is the interior of a log cabin with the Rocky Mountains in the background.

You know they can't wait to pull out that big marijuana leaf set decoration.

This is Wheel of Fortune, Flerbert!
