View Full Version : Would you rather go on JEOPARDY or WHEEL OF FORTUNE?
Let's say that the two shows have each made a policy change making each more like the other.
In JEOPARDY'S case, it's that you get to eat what you kill; that is, if you come in second or third, you get whatever your final score was, subject to the $2000 minimum for coming in second and $1000 for coming in third. But otherwise everything's the same: winners come back the next game to defend their championship, and may keep at it as long as they keep winning (or don't get tired of the whole thing and just go home).
In WHEEL's case, the change is that winners are also champions as on JEOPARDY, returning in successive games to defend their titles until they lose or get sick of looking at Pat's comb-over. Nothing else changes. You still get to keep whatever cash and prizes you've won in a round even if you lose the overall game.
Given these conditions, and assuming you have the chance to go on either game, but not both, which do you choose?
Nordy 02-08-2016, 10:42 PM I would probably say Jeopardy. Everyone gets disgusted with me because I win a lot of trivia games I doubt I'd win but it would be fun.
Yong Fang 02-21-2016, 05:50 AM I honestly would not be a good contestant on either. Jeoprady would have to be stocked with a lot of subjects I know about, stuff like American History, Geography, Presidents, American politics, 1980's bands. I also find Alex Trebek grating as hell, especially when he does his stupid voices.
Wheel of Fortune would be a little bit better, and I would have more fun with that and think would have more of a "screw it" attitude, and just have fun with it and if I did lose, it would be a lot more fun that trying to rack my brain with two other people with Masters degrees.
The 1970's Match Game would be where I want to be a contestant!
Crusinforabrusin 02-21-2016, 07:43 AM Wheel Of Fortune. I have to admit that I'm a bit too stupid for Jeopardy although I'm good at trivia
tlc38tlc38 02-21-2016, 02:45 PM Wheel of Fortune!! I've always wanted to spin that wheel!
robyrob 02-21-2016, 02:49 PM Jeopardy because too much of your outcome is dependent on luck on Wheel of Fortune, whereas as long as you can maintain control of the board you can control your own outcome.

That's my logic for the other way. A regular Jeopardy contestant would wipe the floor with me, whereas on Wheel l would have a shot.
Bonniegirl 02-21-2016, 06:00 PM I'm not smart enough for Jeopardy, so Wheel of fortune for me! The one I'd really like to go on is Let's make a deal though!

IDK??? I didn't think that far in advance!!!!????:confused: :D
Any suggestions???? :D ;)

i'm not even allowed to watch Jeopardy anymore because I yell at the screen too much.
IllinoisTVFan 02-21-2016, 11:49 PM I don't know what this says about me but lately it seems Jeopardy is dumbing down the questions. Sometimes I am astounded by some of the people on there. Having said that, I actually did pass the Jeopardy test and only turned it down because I'd have to pay my own way there including hotel and food. This was many years ago when they still did the 5 day minimum so it may have changed. I'd prefer Jeopardy I think because it's more brains whereas Wheel is more luck. Plus Wheel is one day only. I have brains but not much luck so Jeopardy would be better.

With correct or incorrect answers?

Either a California Highway Patroller or Kaptain Kool.
Nordy 02-22-2016, 09:09 PM I'd think I would go to Let's Make a Deal in my Twinkie The Kid costume I went as a few years ago for Halloween.

How cute!!!! :)
I was Raggedy Ann as a little girl for Halloween,(one of my favorite costumes/Halloweens ) ! and also as an adult I went to a Halloween party as Raggedy Ann. Maybe that would work as a Lets make a deal costume? ;)

Foggy 02-24-2016, 03:59 PM It would have to be WHEEL OF FORTUNE for me. I usually can solve the puzzles faster, then getting the "questions" on Jeopardy.
Also, Vanna and I have had a love affair for about 32 years now,
unfortunately she doesn't know about it!!!! :D
My wife and I did go to see a few shows being taped at the "Ohio State Fair" back in the 90's. Didn't cost anything (except the fair admission), they taped 6 shows a day for two days!! At one point between tapings, thoughout the day,
Pat and Vanna came out to talk and take questions from the audience. Remarkable day.
Hawkee 02-25-2016, 03:22 AM The game show I would be a contestant on would be Wheel Of Fortune because it would be so much fun and I would do pretty good on Wheel Of Fortune but when I would get to the bonus round I would win and get the bonus puzzle right easily and win a brand new car for my parents,

The end puzzles can get tough.
