All the build-up and hype toward this girl being taken from humble obscurity so she can live the Cinderella dream of being Vanna For A Day and she gets one segment, a pose and a line or two during host-chat and that's it? That's IT?!? Shame!

I thought the same thing. Though, she was treated to the full experience with make-up, rehearsal, etc...

But, the way they advertised it made it sound like she'd be doing the whole show.

Yeah, I did expect her to do the entire show- I'm sure she's happy she got the "star for a day" treatment, but it had to be a little bit of a letdown to only be on TV for all of 6 minutes. They should have given her the whole show; it's not like she was taking over for a week.

I agree, but I'm guessing they didn't make light of it because they would have sounded "cheap" if they brought that stipulation to the forefront.

I had to work late so I missed this. But I see I didn't miss all that much if she wasn't there for the entire show.

When was this? I didn't see it on tonight's show.
Well that was a load of crock! Reminds me of some other contests that ended in utter disappointment. (I'm looking at you Trix)
I mean why put up a contest for a person to be on a show just to say "[explicit deleted] ,you can go home now!!" What's the point?
One thing comes to mind:

I'd imagine it'd be about the same as any of Rolf's episodes.

Thanks for the info. I didn't get to see it because Wheel airs on my local CBS affiliate, and they either didn't show it at all or they played it in the wee hours of the night. Thank You NCAA!

A monkey could do what Pat does

If it truly was 'Vanna For A Day', not only should she have taken over for a week, she should have gotten some random Tuesday in June as well.
