If you ran Wheel of Fortune, what would you do?

Asked by mathwhiz1 (264points) November 17th, 2009

If there were no money limits or any kind of limits, here’s what I would do:

1. Make the dollar amounts on the wheel range from $750 to $7,500 in every round. It takes too long for the money to build up when the contestants keep landing on small dollar amounts, especially when they keep buying vowels, although I know how important vowels are. I get really into the show when a contestant has a lot of money in the bank.
2. Have the staff design more puzzles that are long.
3. Have a Big Money round, much like in Season 25, but with bigger amounts. The computer monitor would rotate between Bankrupt, Lose A Turn, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000. This would be the true wheel of fortune. The wedge could be used over and over again, instead of turning to a regular $1,000 space.
4. In the bonus round, I would replace the $100,000 envelope with the $1,000,000 envelope and I would have a $10 million space on the wheel in the first round only, designed like the $1 million space that was used in Season 26. But for a contestant to get a chance to spin for $10 million in the bonus round, he or she would have to solve the puzzle in the round they picked it up in, plus he or she would have to solve at least 2 additional puzzles with a minimum amount of $7,500 in the bank and the toss-ups wouldn’t count.
5. Since there are three wedges that make the wheel slow down, each contestant who spins can add the three dollar amounts together.
6. Bring back the opportunity to win a car during the Mystery Round.
7. Make the puzzle board have a different color for the letters on each round.
