Big Guy wins $100,000 on Wheel of Fortune 3.18.10

[Calcos323]

Why does Pat look so disinterested when the contestants win big bucks? It's like he has to take a pay cut every time it happens!

[peakster753]

only took @barryw74 ≈1.06 seconds to solve this thing...

[DannyBkyn]

I knew it with no letters. =]

[cheatsago456]

[WayoshiM]

A widescreen HQ version will be up in late August!

[videoguy100]

@WayoshiM Just to let you know this episode aired last night. Thanks.

[WayoshiM]

@videoguy100 SHH... :)

[barryw74]

@WayoshiM: Or is that the video that's coming on the 25th you mention on your page...? Heh...

[videoguy100]

@WayoshiM Okay, so that may be the video that will be uploaded on your channel tomorrow. I didn't mean to spoil the surprise. :)

[barryw74]

@videoguy100 & @ WayoshiM: So Where's the new version...? XD

[bigbearfla]

Thanks for posting this! I had this on my DVR and accidently deleted it! Love it with anyone wins the $100,000

[mylesspike119]

Wow!! Way to go BARRY!!

Awesome WOF moment.

[horrorbro]

LOL Nice Job Thank You!!!! at 0:41

[gameshowluvr86]

YAAAAAAAY!!!!!

[SuperGamer7]

OH YES!

I too, was afraid we might go this through this season without a $100,000 winner, especially after the loss to start the week.

Awesome moment, great win!

[barryw74]

Yeah, this was posted on the WoF Community blogs, amongst others I think, so many people who didn't get to watch it at least knew what was going on.

Shout out to my eRep peeps (since I am Maxmillian VW, THE BBQ king)... \o/

It was tough watching the $100k get missed by one letter on Monday, and I had no clue I would actually hit it again in the same taping. Thanks to everyone!!

[RetroBoyWontDie]

@barryw74 So you're "the" Barry? If so, you've got some kind of Midas touch to not only get one, but 3(!!) messages telling you this would happen.

[barryw74]

That would be me...I still can't believe this turned out the way it did...Not only to win the bonus round, but to win $100k...I mean, really, that money is going to go a long way in changing my life and the lives of my family...

[RetroBoyWontDie]

@barryw74 That's beyond terrific, Barry. I think it's always a vicarious thrill for us to see the elation of how a winner can improve their situation with a moment like that. Much congrats!

[bigbearfla]

@barryw74 congrats on the $100 win let us know what you do with the money! What are your wildest dreams? and where is that chinese restaurant you went to before you appeared on the show?

[barryw74]

@bigbearfla thanks!! Couldn't even begin to answer the wildest dreams question. My only goal tbh when I went to the show was to win enough money to pay for school - and I cleared that!! As to the Chinese place, it's in Portland, OR and it is called China Wok...Great food and even better cookies!!

[bigbearfla]

@barryw74 That is so great have a great time at school my only other suggestions re: money would be to pay down your mtg, cc debt and car loans and keep going back for those great fortune cookies!

[gameshowluvr86]

@barryw74 That's you?! Holy crap, that is awesome!!! It has always been my dream to be on Wheel of Fortune; but then to win $100,000+? That's like beyond being a dream come true! My favorite part was when you said "I own the wheel, because my name tag is on it!!" Major congratulations on your windfall, man; and I sincerely hope that you and yours have all that you've dreamed of... Way to go! By the way, I would be honored if I could add you as a friend... :-)

[peakster753]

@barryw74 I'm sure it will...but I have to wonder, did you manage to get your nametag out from the wheel??

[antwan4000]

The last time the $100,000 was landed on and lost on October 22, 2008 and two days later $100,000 was won on October 24, 2008

[jarvisbrodiea1]

You know with the season halfway over, I almost thought nobody was going to win $100,000. But, I am glad it did happen!

[neilrocks87]

I myself also got to see this early too. I have to thank my local CBS affiliate for the warning that they were moving WOF to 9:30AM on Thursday and Friday (9-10AM is usually occupied by Let's Make a Deal). During Wednesday night's show, they ran a ticker tape across the top of the screen. In years past, they've just been moving it to their digital subchannel.....which i don't get.

[sykotik04]

Maxmillian VW!! \o/

[hdayejr]

No, 100k was landed on a couple nights before this and lost.

GD CBS....actually, WOF should have scheduled this for earlier in the week. Why air it when they know damn well that they have a buttload of CBS affils?

Geesh.

[RetroBoyWontDie]

@hdayejr We're lucky here. WOF has been on the ABC affiliate for about 20 years. Great when Mon. Nite Ftbl was dumped, no longer bumping Mondays show to Saturdays.

Interesting how ppl who missed it knew that it happened. Was it mentioned on a WOF msg board?

[barryw74]

@hdayejr WOF doesn't decide when each show airs, as contestants, we draw numbers to determine the order in which our shows are taped...

[David9788]

i missed this episode of wheel of fortune because of march madness

[whitismygurl07]

this was the first time the hundred thousand was landed on too wasn't it, i've been complaining all season that nobody's landed on it and i missed this episode last night because of tennis practice, go figure

[GameShowGamer]

@whitismygurl07 Actually, it was also landed on last Monday, but it was lost.

[WayoshiM]

Thank you for this - I'm going to temporarily put this on my playlist until (and hopefully I will) have a chance to record this episode again

[elizabopolous]

yayayayayayay!

[GreenFenril]

My brother said he was going to win "something big" before the puzzle was being set up. He called it right there!
