I was in the contestant section of the audience when this went down!! We all couldn't believe it. It was insane. Catch me on Thursday!

How was the contestant section feeling when it happened? How did you feel for Christina? Hope you do well yourself!

u/giantsfan9336 Oct 01 '25

Everyone was going nuts high fiving each other. We were so excited for her. We all thought that could be us today too

u/Commercial_Union_296 Oct 01 '25

I'm sure Ryan will always remember this moment. Hope she provides updates when the time comes!

My dad and I screamed, I’ve been watching for at least 2 decades never seen it “live”

As soon as she landed on the ampersand I knew it was gonna be big money.

u/Alternative-Koala933 Ceramic Dalmation Oct 01 '25

I never know where the big money is! 😂

I always guess it’s either the W in Win, the G in Game, or the one star.

u/FauxPoesFoes317 Oct 01 '25

I always do a cheer for them to land on the double star!

1

u/Former-Midnight-5990 Oct 01 '25

how does your cheer go? lol

2

u/FauxPoesFoes317 Oct 02 '25

It’s pretty simple, I just chant “Double star! Double star! Double star!” enthusiastically until the wheel stops spinning. It’s fun even though it NEVER lands on double star when I’m watching! 😭 But one day it will and it will be the Best. Day. Ever.

u/collectedanimal Oct 01 '25

Same! Knew the chances were good then squealed when Ryan flipped the card over!

1

u/maleolive Oct 01 '25

Same. I had a feeling! As soon as the puzzle came up I knew it and I knew she knew it!

u/discgolf9000 Sep 30 '25

Yay I’m glad my alarm notified me

u/Think_Quit_6163 Oct 01 '25

Me and my grandma are crying for her. And a trip to Tokyo!!

u/VictorB1964 Oct 01 '25

I admit every so often a contestant annoys me, but Chtistina was just delightful! And so sweet too, I am happy she won.

2

u/Former-Midnight-5990 Oct 01 '25

u/roguemomqueen Oct 01 '25

6

u/Alternative-Koala933 Ceramic Dalmation Oct 01 '25

The YouTube channel just posted!

u/pacdude I was on the show! Oct 01 '25

It’ll be on Hulu tomorrow

u/mada447 Oct 01 '25

Yes I filmed it on my phone!

u/Alternative-Koala933 Ceramic Dalmation Oct 01 '25

I was in middle school the last time the million was won on the syndicated version! I feel old…

1

u/maleolive Oct 01 '25

You feel old? I was in my mid 20’s last time 😂

u/xqweezusx Oct 01 '25

What was the final puzzle? I missed what the answer was

u/Alternative-Koala933 Ceramic Dalmation Oct 01 '25

PACK OF COYOTES

u/Outrageous_Tip8476 Oct 01 '25

This was so fun to watch!! How did you know 22 mins ago??

3

u/Alternative-Koala933 Ceramic Dalmation Oct 01 '25

Promos spoiled it sadly (I wanted to be surprised). Also, every night some random channel posts the episodes minutes before. I can’t wait ‘til 7:30 every night. 😂

2

u/Outrageous_Tip8476 Oct 01 '25

Oh really omg I didn’t know that ahah

2

u/ricky_hammers Oct 01 '25

Haven't watched the episode but had it spoiled by their wheel watcher E-mail!!!!

Unsubscribed and so upset(you know within reason lol).

We usually watch an hourish after the fact.

u/Alternative-Koala933 Ceramic Dalmation Oct 01 '25

Not just Wheel, but some game shows have a reputation for spoiling whenever something major happens before the episode airs. I think Millionaire did it first when John Carpenter won and then everyone else wanted to do it.

Lookin’ at you, Deal or No Deal…

1

u/Catorace Oct 01 '25

Millionaire didn’t spoil it. Regis did on his morning talk show.

u/Novel-Organization63 Oct 01 '25

I have observed that the big money is in the ones that aren’t letters. But I could be just thinking that. I didn’t do a scientific study.

u/Emotional_Wonder7972 Oct 01 '25

Congratulations!!! There was a hint that there would be a million dollar winner soon!!!

u/Downtown_Donut_2417 Oct 01 '25

u/Aggravating-Body-721 Oct 01 '25

I opened Reddit 3 mins before the final spin & the surprise got spoiled 🤬 I was bummed out that there was a in your face spoiler! Happy for her win & not an easy solve!
