a little behind....time to catch up! - Wheel of Fortune

ok, for those of you who are waiting to hear when i'll be on wheel of fortune i'm afraid i've got sad news... not gonna happen this time. I got a call back and was really psyched to go and interview personally with the producers and show them why i would ROCK on "wheel." Well they made us go through several elimination rounds in which, while playing the game with other people, we were narrowed down based on personality and attitude. Not surprisingly i made it past that with flying colors. Then we played some more wheel, and more and MORE. by the final round of eliminations and games i was so frazzled from all the different puzzles (which i think was their goal) when i took a turn in the final round i guessed a letter that had already been guessed. Now you might think, oh well, people do that on the show all the time. While that is totally true, they are looking for any excuse to not like you, and unfortunately that is a big one. They tell us over and over to use the "used letter board" which tells you which letters are available and which have already been picked and i knew this very well from the millions of rounds of wheel we had already been playing. But i was so sure on one of the words which i thought had a T in it, so i guessed T without even looking at the "used letter board," apparently i wasn't the only person who had thought that, but i was the one eliminated for it, because i guessed it without looking at the totally obvious board in front of me telling me it was NOT available. I think they figure you must not really be paying attention if you guess a letter that clearly in front of you is not available. While they can't do anything about that happening on the show, they do everything they can to prevent it, including disqualifying would-be contestants for doing it. Anyway, i didn't get picked to be on "Wheel of Fortune," i was so annoyed with myself that day and a few days after that, but luckily it was not long until we were leaving for Disneyland, the distraction reminded me that my family was more important than any opportunity to be on a show or win big bucks (or not) could be. But you can bet if that Wheel-Mobile is ever in the area again, i'll be there!!! I'm young, got plenty of years to practice and try again!
