I only watch Jeopardy.  Wheel pales in comparison.

Anyone catch the Holloway confession thing on 20/20 last night?  Dutch boy tried to revive her on the beach, and when he couldn't, he did what every concerned citizen does......he called his friend to dispose of the body in the ocean....

Wheel annoys the crap out of me now because there's just too much going on with it now....especially with the puzzles that automatically start filling themselves in and you just have to be the first person to figure it out.  Ohhh, so challenging. 

Remember back in the day when a player would win a round and then they'd have to spend their winnings on whatever crap they had sitting off to the side.....kind of like winning tickets at D&B's.  And any money they had left over they had to put on a Gucci gift certificiate. 

Good times.

wheel of fortune bothers the shtein out of me because they are easily the dumbest contestants of all of the game shows, yet they consistently win the most money.

Hey Dio, if you would like to drive a big plow fly out here we are expecting 8-12 inches possibly more tonight. 6 inches on friday, 5 inches on sunday night on top of that about a half inch of cold rain yesterday = a whole lot of fun. and yes I'm talking about snow.

Last night's contestant:  "I'd like to solve the puzzle:  ANTIBACTERIA SOAP."  bzzzt.  Uses his free pass.  "I'd like to solve the puzzle:  ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP.  YAAAAAAAY"

Another thing I've never understood:  why the F are you buying vowels right before you solve the puzzle??  If you know it, save the $500.  If the word is J_Y__S, buy the "O" if you're confused, but when it's "JOYO_S", you don't need to buy the f'ing "U".  Idiots.  Die.

thanks easy.  that's my biggest pet peeve of that show and it illustrates how retarded the contestants are.  i can see maybe buying a vowel just to make sure what you have in mind is right, but some of these idiots buy vowels just to complete the word more. like throwing money down the toilet.

I actually caught that last night. I couldn't believe it.

Solving a puzzle with 15 consonants still on the board is my pet peeve.  People do it all the time too.  They'll have $1,000 and solve the puzzle with a million letters left on the board.  WTF?

[BigEd76]

Here's another one that annoys the hell out of me:

Phrase:  I**EGA* *O**E**ION

They spin and get $3500

Instead of "L" or "S" and cleaning up, they pick the "P".  Or even better, an "M".

Especially when there are doubles up there. Grow a pair and win some extra money.
