  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

Who shall we ship you with?
Preferably, LetsGoYankees.  Maybe to Abu Dahbi.

I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

Wheel blew it wide open. The pre-Final Jeopardy bumper on WABC mentioned "lives will change" and mentioned the million dollars.

It's the big, seven figure one again. Newfoundland gets the show at a time that amounts to 3:30EST, 5PM local time (on CJON) and has already aired there. A tweet from a resident St. John confirms and gives it away with "Yes by... Missus on Wheel of Fortune just won a million. Fancy!"

I really wanted to get excited for this. But, the fact it was spoiled (which I totally understand why) and with not much in the way of fanfare really took some of the thrill out of it. It had all the enthusiasm of a minimum prize win with slightly more confetti. I get that increased commercial time has left little room for leeway, but something more than "Hey, how about that. She got the top prize." reaction would've been nice.

Have I become this jaded over a seven-figure win? Am I the only one who felt like this?

Travis, didn't you once tell me that a $1,000,000 total doesn't even crack the top 15 or something in terms of biggest winners?

Joint 19th, depending on how malleable the definition of game show is, next is the winner of Studio Seven in45th place.

Drive for iPad is nice.

Just made a topic on just this in Spoilers and Summaries, by my count of game shows. Didn't count couples since it would be split, for cases like $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime. Nor did I include teams, like in Treasure Hunt, for the same reason. Lastly, no lotto shows, since I'd be there too long complying the list.

Were you thinking of Treasure Hunters, Jess?

Indeed so. Thanks for the correction, Travis. Last I checked, Jan Murray and Geoff Edwards weren't offering that much!
