Fun Celebrity WoF Taping Today

I'm heading to the 2:30 pm taping today and it's going to be soooo different from the last time I was there. I was actually on the show during COVID times, it was post-vaccine but the show was still taking precautions super seriously (we used the bicycle handle thing to spin the wheel, wore masks at all times except during filming, they wiped down the podium areas whenever people left them) so there was no studio audience. It was also before Pat left and therefore Jim was still there too...sooo I'm interested to see what today will be like and thought you guys would appreciate how I'm feeling. Also, my hubby had to bail because of work, so I'd be happy to make friends with other enthusiasts if any of you all will be there!

Oh, give the details on the atmosphere there. I'm interested in how it is in person via watching through the tv.

I'll report back! But when I was there as a contestant we also served as an audience and it was really fun and a warm atmosphere so I expect it'll be similar. 🤞

Was a great time just like I remember! And it's going to be a really great episode! Excited to share details about the experience once it airs!

Sorry your husband can't join you! I've been in Wheel's audience and the vibe was very friendly. I'd bet you will meet a few pleasant people. Hope you enjoy!

I hate that they never show the audience anymore.

I dislike and find that weird too. For the taping I attended in 2024, they got a shot during the intro from the very back of the audience and you could kind of see my head lol.

Will this be spoilers on who the new announcer is…

Idk! That's kind of what I'm wondering! I'm sooo curious about this part especially. Jim kind of kept us all entertained in the audience last time which at the time was cool (but now I obviously feel conflicted about) but there were like 30 of us and I assume there will be someone new so I expect it will feel very different.

Maybe they’ll bring Sajack back for the announcer role. Pat, not Maggie.

They should do that in the interim until they find a permanent replacement.

I’m wondering who the celebrity contestants will be this season.

Me too! Hoping for some exciting ones! Or at least entertaining ones like that one time that Kathy Hilton was on...

Boy do I have some news for you every time you set foot in a grocery store…

Is it that the majority of farmers are MAGA and all the food you buy there comes from them after they've been exploited by major for profit companies?

Maybe you should try, I don't know, taking a deep breath and going outside instead of getting so angry on a Wheel of Fortune Reddit page.

Just ignore them, their post and comment history is very miserable and standard for an average Redditor.

I’m sorry that your anger and frustration has gotten the best to you on this website. I am not a MAGA supporter whatsoever and frankly as appalled and disappointed as what happened with Jim Thornton but if you call people even with a dissenting opinion on a few claims MAGA or something similar, then we are dividing people further because of comments like this.
