We're gonna love you.
All I have to do is make sure the family viewing schedule doesn't bring Christmas Story into conflict with Wheel.

Re: Retroactive good luck to danangel
As a J! guy my DVR must have wondered what was going on when I recorded Wheel for a very rare time. The FF button comes in quite handy to cut down on the viewing time. That wheel (the device, not the show) can be quite cruel. Wheel (the show) sure can give a contestant a tiny bit of air time that amounts to not much more than a token appearance.
The bonus round can sometimes seem like it's begging to give away a big prize and other times the bonus puzzle seems destined to be a budget saver.

Sorry it wasn't more eventful, all.
It meant a lot just to be there though. And for the record, I crushed on J! Tonight LOL...
Hope everyone has a warm and loving holiday.

-- MY WHEEL OF FORTUNE BLOGGERY--
Here's the condensed version....
I knew it could go either way and was just happy to get to play, but also realized I needed to be a good example to those who were watching on Christmas Eve that might have been going through a rough time, that bad luck or hardship isn't always the end of the world, and that tomorrow always brings a new day.
There's even more to the story, but that's really the gist of it. It's all about perspective and I wouldn't change how much I gained for anything material after The life lessons I learned from being on Wheel of Fortune.
The truth is that sometimes we can all still win even when we lose. The positives all far outweigh any temporary disappointment I might have felt at the end and I realize just how fortunate I was to have my lifelong dream of appearing on not just a game show, but the #1 show in the world, fulfilled. It took a long time to get there. And I'm proud of what I got to do because I never gave up on that dream.
None of us can change our past or where we come from, but the future is entirely up to us.
Love and peace to everyone and thanks for all the friendship and support!
We are all connected!

Re: Retroactive good luck to danangel
Re: budget... I think because the show before me gave away over 60K (and nearly 100G more in the BR) the BR in my show was next to impossible for even a good solver. I never would have gotten it. And I was actually relieved for Meg that she didn't have the million in the envelope considering the regret that must carry. As for me, no regrets! It's just a game! And I was one of a handful of out tens of thousands trying out each year who got to play. It was an awesome experience. Thanks for watching and hopefully it won't be the last time you see me on your TVs!
Best to all for a happy and joyous New Year!
