    I did well!

    I will probably appear like a giant idiot during my interview.

    During one of the puzzles you will likely be screaming at the TV saying that I am an idiot...

    But I still did well. It is MUCH MUCH MUCH harder than I could have imagined actually playing. Hard to control the wheel, a dozen different things to think about while the game is going on, etc.

    No spoilers.

    Episode airs Tuesday, March 22

    Excited brahthahmahn! Doesn't sound like you won unfortunately, but I hope I am wrong.

    I always wondered about that wheel bullshiz. Seems like it would be easy to miss the Bankrupts. Is there a rule where it has to do one full rotation? Some grandma's barely move it.

    Awesome, can't wait to see the episode. You couldn't possibly be worse than the three idiots that were on the other day. The category for the last puzzle was Place and the board showed "A_C_LAND NEW ZEALAND". Two of the idiots guessed wrong letters, then the third person guessed the 'K' but still couldn't solve the puzzle despite Pat saying that there were no more consonants.

    I'm also surprised to hear that the wheel was so hard to control. I thought the reason they stopped having the winners come back for more than one day was because they easily learned how to use the wheel to their advantage.

    So happy for you OP! I giot to meet Pat and Vanna when I was 18 at disney world. Pat talked about how he never thought he would get the job, but because he was small he matched up with Vanna proportionally on the tv. Vanna was sooooooo tiny. I was depressed after meeting her, I felt like I could break her by just shaking her hand, going into it I thought I was about to meet the hottest woman on the planet.

    Can't wait to watch, gg :)

    Obviously "I did well!" is intentionally vague, but it's still a positive so congrats!

    How much harder is it actually being a contestant? Obv it's pretty easy when you're sitting on the couch at home, but was it noticeably harder being in front of an audience/being taped etc? Would have to imagine so. Congrats btw!

    Yes.... I have a roommate who was on, and another friend as well. I really didn't fully believe them when they said SOOOO much other stuff is going through your head. The contestant department meets with you between puzzles to tell you what you need to work on. "Be louder. MORE ENTHUSIASM!!!!! Call smart letters! Be LOUDER!!!" Pretty much they just yell at you to be loud, smile, and look excited.

    But it's really so hard to describe. No matter what you probably won't believe me, but there is one puzzle where you probably will have no idea how I did not know it, but all I was thinking in my head was 'How do you not know this.. how do you not know this.. how do you not know this.. "etc

    But it all works out. Excited to see it on TV. Will def bump on Monday before.
