I don't usually watch wheel of fortune, but I caught the end a few weeks ago while I was waiting for something else to come on. Same thing happened, but even worse, it was couples' week. So when one person called out a letter that had just been guessed, their partner didn't even try to hide their anger about it. It was the most awkward game show moment I've ever witnessed. And to make it worse, they still went away with a vacation together, which was obviously going to be miserable.
Heh heh, my sister and I used to drive my mother crazy with Wheel of Fortune. We had two NBC stations and one was about half a second behind the other so I would switch back and forth and get this weird ass echo effect. My sister and I would giggle like idiots and my mother would yell at us from the kitchen.
@Vicki: As weird as this sounds, during the Casey Anthony trial, I watched the live stream from the courthouse on line and the live broadcast on Court TV at the same time and got a similar echo effect, like the trial was being broadcast in an empty stadium of some kind. Weird.
My DirectTV was faster than the man's Dish so if we were talking during football I'd yell when there was a touchdown and he'd say "don't tell me what happens!"
Of course, I never listened.
I think every TV in my house is off-sync and I only tolerate the echo during a sporting event or Top Chef.
Oh god. The contestants on wheel of fortune piss my mother off to no end. Someone who knows the answer but asks for a letter when there's only one on the board and then solves it, leaving 4 C's (or whatever)? She gets entirely too pleased if they lose. "if you'd asked for a C you would've won. Idiot."
But then my mother is hyper competitive. It's fun to not warn my friends and then watch them get their asses handed to them by a cookie baking, god fearing grandmother.
That is so old! The Wheel isn't even on in Aust any more & now Larry is on the Morning Show! Larry is awesome!!! Just proved how stupid some of us Aussies can be & clearly that guy was a 'sandwich short of a picnic' lolz
