Wheel of Fortune - 2002 

This aired 2 weeks before the week when I was in the audience. For those interested, John Deeks is a great warm-up guy, he keeps the audience laughing and entertained between shows, and Rob and Sophie also came out to chat between some shows for awhile. Also, it's weird to see Rob in a tie, as I thought around this time he had permanently started doing the suit/open-necked shirt/T-shirt look

Hmm, well I do remember at least one of the shows that i was at, I think it was the Friday taping, he wore a dark gray jacket, and a red T-shirt/sweater. John Deeks called him the "red wiggle" as he walked out from the board.

No, the first person starts round1, 2nd person starts round 2, 3 person starts round 3 etc

Thanks for the info. Everything before pre-2003 is becoming a blur

Fantastic work, Steve. Sometimes listening to advice from the host can pay off, but I know of one instance where it didn't. If you want me to show that instance to you, please be my guest, but I doubt you will want to. As for Mr. James (his first name's also mine), I don't feel all that bad for him when he's won more than $9000 in prizes. All three players did well on the show, including yourself. Congrats again. ^_^

Red starts Round 1, Yellow starts Round 2, Blue starts Round 3, and then back to Red for Round 4.

There was a sound glitch at 13:10!

Rob ditched the tie in 2003.

Also, given that Sophie was mentioning post-mothers-day celebrations, i take it this was from May 2002?

How did you go as a contestant? What prizes did you win? Did you win a nice holiday somewhere?

14:02 that shut him up!!

So, you won the game, but what prize did you win on the big wheel?

In reply - yes the show aired the day after Mothers Day in May 2002 even though we filmed in March Surprise Wedge - funnily enough, I actually spun it on the 2nd episode and won the prize. Hope to upload that episode soon but I only got 3 spins all episode all of which were in the one round.

Shouldn't the woman have had control of the board in round 3??

Kind of rare seeing a pronoun besides "one" in a Phrase, case in point Round 2.
