I'm watching Spin The Wheel on FOX right now and I think FOX will have a hit on their hands but I find it to be a knockoff of The Big Spin that the California Lottery used to have but with some elements of Press Your Luck and Double Dare. Take for instance the wheel has a wedge called Back To Zero and I can see that this wedge will cause the contestants to lose easily. Another thing that Spin The Wheel has is that they have taken an element from Deal Or No Deal which they offer contestants cash offers called Walk Aways where the contestants can decide to walk away or not. But I cannot see how this show will survive especially when it has Justin Timberlake producing it. But hopefully if Spin The Wheel survives for another season FOX will improve it a lot more. On Dax Shepard as host of Spin The Wheel I think he's talented in his game show debut and full of humor and is a joy to watch and not to mention very cool and cute and you can bet that I'll have lots of Dax Shepard photos on my bedroom wall of my new house when I move in. But all and all Spin The Wheel seems like a solid hit but could be in need of dire improvements for next season
