During the "FINAL SPIN" round,and the bell goes off,has Pat Sajak EVER ,since he's been host,(he still hosts the syndicated version)EVER hit "Bankrupt" and had to spin again?It happened a lot when Chuck Woolery was host.And how about Rolfe Benirschke when he took over briefly for Sajak?And how about Bob Goen when the series moved to CBS?Did it happpen to THEM?And a question:When "Wheel of Fortune"moved back to NBC from 1991 to 1992,who was the host then?

My understanding is that, if he lands on Bankrupt or Lose A Turn during the final spin, it gets edited out. (It used to happen all the time on the show, but not in the last decade or so.)

When the old puzzleboard was still around, you would actually see Pat land on a Bankrupt/Lose A Turn/prize space on the final spin whenever he did. But when the new electronic puzzleboard started in Feb. 1997, that was when they started getting edited out.

And a question:When "Wheel of Fortune"moved back to NBC from 1991 to 1992,who was the host then?

Bob Goen was also the daytime version's host at that time as well.

It's happened with Pat, Bob and way back when with Chuck Woolery. If it now gets edited out, that would explain why we haven't seen it happen in the past few years. They used to leave it in.

And on tonight's episode,Pat Sajak was his normal good-natured ,,likable self,EXCEPT at the very end when the player who won won the bonus round(a car and $5000),he appeared to me to be a little (only for a minute or two)testy.He was back to his normal good-natured likable self when he and Vanna were talking to the contestant.Did anyone else notice this?

And tonight's episode,during the $10,000 wedge round,some guy won the $10,000 by solving the puzzle.But what made this segment different,is that they DIDN'T show the audience and viewers at home what is behind the wedge,which they usually do.

And tonight's episode was REALLY different.Besides the great tribute at the end by Pat and Vanna in which he saluted lovingly their late announcer,the late Charlie O'Donnell,(Johnny Gilbert did a great job this week,too)one contestant just solved the prize puzzle with just ONE letter exposed,surprised everyone,even Pat.

On tonight's episode, a woman named Leslie got the bonus round puzzle correctly,which was "No Question about it",and called winning letters Q(an obscure,rarely called letter in the bonus round )B and M and her vowel was .And she won $45,000.My question is this:On past episodes (say in the past 5 -6 years or whenever they began the bonus round as it is now),have players who got to the bonus round ever called the obscure letters Q,K,J,Z.V,Y and X?And earlier,in the first toss-up round Pat was AGAIN surprised when the male player got the first toss-up puzzle correct with only 3 letters exposed.

And tonight's "Wheel of Fortune",which was "Las Vegas Week"(one of my favorite theme weeks),a male player in the "Final Spin"Round,won the round,by first calling a letter,"P"which was in the puzzle,then using the rest of his 3 seconds to solve it a la "Bonus Round",surprising the contestant somewhat,who came up with the correct answer,as I said "Bonus Round-"like,talking the puzzle out,when Pat Sajak,kind of nonchalantly said "yeah,that's it."

Who is the NEW permanent announcer?Tonight,it was a woman announcer.Nothing wrong with that,but I thought that Rich Fields was the shows' NEW permanent announcer.Who is?

This week,during the speed-up round,they have a picture of a TV set with a picture of the day's players.What gives?Has anyone else besides me noticed this?
