Hey Jen (girl on left) when u comin rafting again? Congrats on the $8000 winnings

[WarioBarker88]

The 5,000th SYNDICATED show (Daytime doesn't exist to Freidman), or as I like to call it...

"The Overwhelmingly Underwhelming Excuse For A Frickin' 5,000th Doesn't-Count-Daytime-At-All Syndicated Episode: Part Two"

[Daffyfan2006]

@WarioBarker88

Yeah. I've noticed that too. They have said that they started in 1983, but I have researched it and noticed that the daytime version started in 1975, so I wonder what number show that would be if they had counted that version.

[WarioBarker88]

@Daffyfan2006 Around 9,200-9,300 then, about 9,700 or so now.

[Daffyfan2006]

@WarioBarker88

Wow! They're almost at 10,000. They should do a special show in honor of that and include the daytime version next time around.

Man, the bonus round results were devistating. It would have been awfully nice if they could have given away the $100,000. Too bad it didn't work out. That breaks my heart.

[LeothePatrioticLion]

Congrats on 5,000, Wheel! Here's hoping you get to 6,000 as The Price is Right did. Where's Jeopardy! at?

[NintendoGX159]

Happy 5000th episode Wheel. Hope to 1000 more episodes.

I watched this show on TV on February 27, 2009 and we were playing Scrabble while watching the show.

[WayoshiM]

I only started recording daily on 11/3/08.

[WayoshiM]

He didn't even get HOT, and again I highly doubt anyone gets this puzzle - even in 11 seconds.

[khidak1]

How long has it been since someone actually won the bonus round on Wheel of Fortune?

[WayoshiM]

It was won on Thursday.

[germanname1990]

Trust me, I was really upset about that loss. I felt instead of this episode being a celebration like it should have, it turned out to be a bitter disappointment. I still thank you WayoshiM for uploading this. Obviously, none of what happened on the show is your fault so I can't blame you for anything. Thanks again.

[WayoshiM]

Yep. Keep in mind it was all bad luck - picking up the 100k for the 10th time this season with an evil small BR.

[germanname1990]

Yeah, an evil small bonus round puzzle. I know this isn't the first disappointment on Wheel as I remember Terry back in '85. Yesterday, I felt like a homeviewer who knew he wasn't gonna see Terry spend all that money on the turntable.

[Hondo20132]

Hey, that Million Dollar win practically made up for all those times, thankfully.

Although this was the 2nd-least convienent bonus loss I've ever seen! (1st-least was the 25th season premiere, which the $100K was also picked.)

[khidak1]

We've seen way too many missed opportunities in the bonus round, haven't we, Wayoshim? Don't it make you want to play the "What if" game?

[WayoshiM]

Yes, but not tonight. Even if you say he said H and O, I don't think he would have gotten WAX from _A_. :(

Ouch!

[Gameshowboy]

Epic Fail!!!

[Aamigo19126]

That $100,000 loss was very painful. I would have liked to see that man win it because that would have made a nice ending to the 5000th show.

[DerrickLee2006]

It sure was because I saw that, too. Not a good way to end a milestone show.
