What makes a great Wheel of Fortune contestant?
Many factors go into choosing a Wheel of Fortune contestant. First of all, it's a lot more difficult playing the game in the studio where there's a live audience (plus you're on national television!) than in the comfort of your living room.
We love players who are at ease, fun, and good game players. It's important that the game moves along as quickly as possible; that players are decisive in calling out their letters (in a loud voice) and in choosing their game strategy (whether to spin, buy a vowel, or solve the puzzle.) We want contestants to call logical letters; good game players seem to strike a good balance between calling consonants and buying vowels. (Why buy vowels? It may help to fill in the gaps in the puzzles.)
It's been our general observation through the years that contestants who play with passion, poise, and a sense of humor (without forgetting to call logical letters) - tend to do better on the show. Most contestants, at the end of a show, say that it was more difficult than they expected; and that it was the quickest (about 22 minutes without commercials), most exhilarating time of their lives.
The final ingredient of a great contestant is a positive attitude. We want every contestant to win on our show, but there's always the factor of "Lady Luck" - that's why it's called Wheel of Fortune. We want people to come to the taping with the mindset that they're going to have a good time, win or lose. Hey - you're on Wheel of Fortune - the most popular game show in the history of the world so you're already a winner!
