nothing too big.... stuff about the new changing wedge, and info about 3 weeks at Radio City and 3 weeks in Chicago this season...

Doesn't Wheel normally go to three cities a year? Also, if the "25" wedge shows up in Round 2, and the random wedge in R3, does this mean one or more of the previous gimmicks is being retired?

I was actually informed about WoF going to Chicago when I attended the taping for the 9/10, 11 and 12 eps of J! Hopefully I'll be able to go.

I doubt that the jackpot space is going anywhere. That 25 is really just another prize.

I have a suspicion that we've seen the last of the mystery round, though. It's too close in concept to the new round 3 special.

That would be too bad, if your speculation is true. I think the Mystery Wedge is the best new thing to be introduced in that game in a long time.

The ever-expanding list of puzzle categories will have fresh additions this season: "What Are You Doing," which features familiar activities; "What Are You Making," which consists of ingredients found in popular recipes;

Those sound like Celebrity Jeopardy! categories.

Seriously, aren't those categories normally called "Event" and "Food & Drink"?

Not if you put a slight "Clue"-ish spin on it...

The puzzle: "Rum, tonic, lime, sugar and spearmint"

Pat: Yes! NOW, for $3000 more, tell us "What are you making?"

Answer: A MOJITO!

Mojitos rock...

At the last GSC I asked Harry Friedman what happens when two "best friends" who are of oppisite sex and not married to each other (DUH—they're best friends!) win a vacation. He said that they each get a vacation for two. I told him I was glad that WOF wasn't involved in anything scandalous!

I guess that claiming a cash amount from the Big Money Space works the same way as the $10,000 cash prize does in Round 1.

Uh, sure.

Remember--you can be married and still be friends with someone of the gender you are attracted to, and you can even go on a national game show with them. But vacations are right out! Friends just don't do "that sort of thing".

Do they still do Clue puzzles or the questions or whatever? Or did those go by the boards in favor of the million colors of light?

weaklink75 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 24, 2007, 02:50:26 PM »

I understand that the multiplication factor won't apply to the big money space, but is it a one-time in the round wedge (and it reverts to a standard dollar amount after), or can it be hit more than once in the round by more than one player (say, one person hits it for $5K, then a few spins later, someone else would hit it for $25K)...

There are Clue-type of puzzles on occasion, but with everything else that goes on, it's pretty infrequent.
