Wheel of Fortune 5/3/11: $5000 wedge in Round 1?

[DomBellicini]

0:18 that bankrupt shouldnt count he had nothing to lose.

[DomBellicini]

@DomBellicini same with 1:00

[gsgeek540]

@DomBellicini moneys just figurative. he had a turn to lose..

[DomBellicini]

@gsgeek540 either way--if i were in charge, if you had no money/prizes when you hit bankrupt, you don't lose your turn.

[gsgeek540]

@DomBellicini that show would get cancelled pretty damn quick. hey hit bankrupt and lose nothing because thats logical! haven't you ever watched game shows on youtube? In how about 70% of the clips on here are about contestants losing...so called bloopers.

[DomBellicini]

@gsgeek540 if you want to lose a turn, there's a wedge for that. if you want to lose your money, that's what the bankrupt wedge is for.

[gsgeek540]

@DomBellicini but bankrupt is simply defined as "losing everything in your possession". In said game, You lose your money and prizes but your turn is also in your possession. Is it not? So why wouldn't you lose it too?

[gsgeek540]

@DomBellicini i rest my case

[DomBellicini]

@gsgeek540 1. in which dictionary is bankrupt defined like that?

2. losing a turn is what the "lose a turn" wedge is for, plain and simple.

[gsgeek540]

@DomBellicini The world dictionaries 3rd defination defines bankrupt as a noun as "a person whose resources in a certain field are exhausted or nonexistent". That resource being your money and turn. The 6th defination defines bankrupt as an adjective as "depleted in resources or having completely failed" which is simply defined as losing everything in your posession including your money and resources, such as your turn.

Nope, it's still a $2500 space. Just that the lights really brighten up the glitter

[bizarrepac528]

0:56=The million dollar wedge, the gift tag, and the Jackpot wedge are present.

1:05=They are all missing and a bit of the $5,000 wedge is present. Are you kidding me?!

[00videogamer]

That's the 2500 space 2500 dollar space is light blue 5000 dollar space is white.

[erikdraven1731]

Must've been an edit from round four, because the spot he landed on is normally covered by the million dollar wedge.

[Nate52295]

@erikdraven1731 I believe you're right because the previous girl landed on the bankrupt/million/bankrupt. In order it goes from right to left on the screen, million wedge, blue 500, jackpot, yellow 500. @1:06 it goes orange 800, BLUE 500, red 300 (usually jackpot), then the YELLOW 500 again.

I don't think $5000 would be bad for round 1, but I think TOO much money.
