I expect clips from tonight’s show to hit the internetz. Poor lady tried several times to solve (what I thought was) a fairly common expression. 

That was painful but hilarious. Reminded me of the Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin debacle.

That has to be a record for someone guessing and missing the puzzle. Three times!!

Pat Sajack is so rude! A contestant said her kids didn't want their names said on tv. When she missed a puzzle Pat said maybe her kids were on to something. The audience groaned and he tried to pretend he was joking. Vanna wouldn't do that.

It's a close call but I think tonight's (Wednesday) Wheel contestants topped the 'Another Feather In Your Map' crew.

And then the toss ups ...

[Tunia]

 Wednesday night's show was beyond bizarre!  I could virtually hear the entire Wheel audience screaming at their TV screens.

I mean obviously it isn't spelled correctly to be paddle boats but that is literally the only thing I've ever heard them called and I don't know before the e turned up that I would have guessed pedal.  That said once you had the e... there is nothing else it can be.

I realize that the paddle boats are the ones with the big wheels and not the ones you rent at the park but still...

I know them as pedal boats because of what tourists rent to toodle around in the Tidal Basin.

And now tonight, we had this:

HARRY - O - - ER
ON BROADWAY

Contestant: I'd like to solve.

Pat: Go ahead.

Contestant: Harry Conner On Broadway.

 

[Shorty186]

My Mom: I think she knows it.

Me: No she doesn’t.

Contestant: I’d like to solve.

Me: Oh.

Contestant: Harry Conner on Broadway?

Me: Bwah ha ha

 

I’m evil.

[Glitches]

I caught the end of Wheel of Fortune tonight with the little back-and-forth dialog between Pat and Vanna. Vanna says she likes little identifiers like a pod of whales. Pat says, a murder of crows. Vanna says a gaggle of geese. Pat says, a dumpster of TV executives. 
 

I am still laughing.

I've never really been a faithful viewer but started watching again when I began watching JEOPARDY nightly. I have to confess that I often don't understand their categories. Tonight's winning category was "Fun and Games." The contestant had very few letters in the puzzle and so was spit balling answers. He said the correct answer without realizing it. It was "The Final Buzzer." Huh? I mean yeah, often there is a buzzer in a game, but that's a stretch to me. 

[BuckeyeLou]

A fellow won the $100,000 tonite, he was very excited!  He even layed down on the floor in the midst of confetti & made 'snow angels" which made Pat laugh.  That's twice in the past couple of weeks that someone has won the $100,000!

Vanna made an appearance on RPDR: All Stars for 'Category Is: Vanna White Realness.' Looks like she had a lot of fun.

I loved seeing each of the queens’ reactions on the catwalk when they first saw Vanna! It was adorable!

The 40th season started today, as stated by the first puzzle (I couldn't believe it took that long for someone to solve it). I'm glad to have new episodes back.

Some things I noticed:

New graphics.

Still no live audience to be seen. That's disappointing.

Pat was going up to the contestants and shaking hands this time.

I don't like the night time background. I hope that's temporary.

Did they explain what the XL wedge does? I might have missed it.

Yeah I misses the xl thing 

We were hoping too that they'd bring back family /friends to come out at the end with big winners.  

I assume the set with the dark tones is temporary for premier week

 The XL wedge was hit twice today so Pat explained it:.  The value per letter is the value currently on the wheel (so basically an extra $2,500, $3,500 or $5,000 space).   If you the wedge with a correct letter it's added to you're bank until the end unless your bankrupt (same as the million dollar wedge, except you don't pick it up...there's just an "XL" displayed by your total).    If you go to the bonus round with the wedge and win, you get an extra $40,000 on top of whatever you get from the mini wheel. 

 Also, if you get to the bonus round with the million dollar wedge, there are two million dollar envelopes now. 

[Miss Chevious]

For the 40th Season, some things have been brought back. The white plastic spinner holders are gone now, Pat comes over to the contestants at the end, steps up on the dais behind them and shakes hands again. At the end, bonus round winners can have a friend/family member come up on stage to celebrate with them again. 

You don't notice some of these things until they're gone or they come back. I wish they'd bring back those action screen backdrops they used to have. The current ones are styled nicely but the other ones are more fun.

Oooh, guy screwed up “Incredibly Beautiful Location” tonight. You could tell he was pissed.

Yep...I almost messed it up too but realized it right before he did. E already chosen.

The contestant after her final puzzle trying to twerk on Pat. Yeeeeesh! 😬
