While I'm still reeling over recently seeing a prize wedge that wasn't a trip (it was a $5,000 Michael C. Fina gift certificate), I'm reminded to post about something I've noticed this season.
While watching the wheel spin in various shots, I've noticed that it looks like the yellow $400 that hosts the Big Money wedge in round three is raised ever so slightly above its neighboring wedges when it's just a yellow $400. So I assume that whatever is under there to make the Big Money wedge light up and change is just a little taller than where the surrounding wedges lie.
But unless my eyes are deceiving me, it looks like the red $300 that's on the exact opposite side of the wheel is also raised in the same way as that yellow $400. That wedge never holds anything that lights up and blinks, so what would they need to hide under there? The only thing I could think of is ballast to balance out the Big Money paraphernalia, but since the wheel itself is so heavy (and horizontal), it doesn't seem like a slight imbalance would matter.
Does anybody have any ideas?
