Wheel of Fortune $1 million

[mcurphy]

I never realized how impossible it is for a contestant to win the million dollars on this show.

Tonight's game was the first time I have seen anyone actually hit the tiny million dollar marker that's tucked away between the two bankruptcy slots.

When he guessed a letter and it showed up on the puzzle, I was like hell yeah, he got it! :thumbsup:

But it isn't that easy, apparently he had to end up with the high score and beat the other two contestants in the regular part of the game. And he did! He had the high total...but he still wasn't awarded the million..:\

Well I figured he had a slim chance at this point, he must have to win the bonus round, and how often do you see people actually get the last puzzle? Well he guessed the final puzzle! But he still didn't win the million dollars!

Apparently on top of all these accomplishments, he still needed to somehow have selected the million dollar prize card from the little bonus wheel. Which is what...a one in 50 completely random chance?

well he didn't get it, his bonus card was for a measly $30k. :thumbsdown:

Ya the odds are pretty stacked against you but 30k + his winnings is still a lot better than the $500 you can win on a lot of other game shows.

The only winner in that show are not the contestants, it's Pat Sajak and Vanna White. I wonder if WikiLeaks will divulge their real income. :\

at least as hosts they somewhat do things. ever see what the "host" on iron chef does? he just says stuff dramatically in the begining and then just sits there and eats food w/o having to judge anyone!

Didn't realize it was stacked against the contestants. I just thought you had to win with it, but I guess that would happen too often.

One has to wonder how much the network/producers make on each airing of the show, I really don't have a concept. Is it more than $1million?

 

[preslove]

It's daily, syndicated, early evening game show. Why would they make it easy to make a million bucks? Who wants to be a millionaire was a prime time, weekly show with a much bigger audience.

He's talking about the chairman, not Alton Brown.

Hit tiny box > win round > don't hit bankrupt during entire show > have highest total at end > hit the 1/24 box > solve puzzle.....

I suppose that's why only 1 person has ever gotten the 1 million prize.
