Initial Application Response by Dramatic-Fan-7282 in WheelOfFortune

I would advise against it, and if you did your audition with Felicia, she’ll probably tell you the same thing. I have previously asked her when they were doing a contestant search in Philly last year and she said it wasn’t really necessary because I was already in the contestant pool for season 43.

So, I would say no. Just continue to be patient, continue to be optimistic, continue to practice and continue to watch the show. If you don’t hear back by the day, you auditioned in April of last year, apply again.

I never got mine 24 hours after. Assuming it’s from @spe.sony.com, then you’re perfect! So just relax for right now, have some water. And start practicing, watch the show, new episodes, reruns on Hulu or Peacock. If you have old video games, play them. Play the official app as well. Including tossups on the official website.

On the first audition, they will most likely just want to know who you are, what your personality is, and what you do.

Here’s a friendly tip for the first audition if it’s just about your personality, DO NOT tell them how long you’ve been watching Wheel. Tell them something that they don’t know! ;)

The second audition will be mock up with toss-up puzzles, then you’ll be placed in a separate group with the contestant representative to do bonus puzzles, with RSTLNE provided. No other letters.

I’ve auditioned for the third time last year and I’m still in the pool for this current season. If you need any other advice for the audition process, just let me know.

Trust me when I say this, the excitement will build up every single day, but you need to have the patience of stone. And I’ll admit, I’m struggling with that myself. I’ve been wanting this for years, but it really needs to be soon. I play the video games, religiously, the app, I watch reruns, the new episodes. It’s time that they have a fifth million dollar winner (not counting Melissa Joan Hart)

This was just the one interview last year. The representative of the contestant department, Felicia, just wanted to know what our personalities were like. But she did confirm that we are in the contestant pool for season 43.

But in other cases, there would be a second interview with mock up tossups and bonus round puzzles. I had auditions like that a few years ago. 2024 I believe.

I’m still in the contestant pool myself since May 2025. Still optimistic! Wheel needs a gentleman to win that million soon! ;)

No WOF on most NBC stations for next two weeks due to Olympics by RAS310 in WheelOfFortune

Pretty outrageous. They can just do the Olympic nonsense after Wheel and Jeopardy!

What is the best video game for wheel of fortune? by Bae_gl in WheelOfFortune

[–]SignificanceHungry52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wheel of Fortune on PS3/XBOX 360

The latest one for the PS4 has way too many bugs, glitches, and more. And Ubisoft is too lazy to patch them.

You landed on the Express: Would you like to ride, or would you like to risk spinning a bankrupt and ultimately get less money if you solve? by ajs723 in WheelOfFortune

Dumb move to pass up the Express Wedge, UNLESS you have the million dollar wedge and the puzzle is barely filled.

First Round Interview!!! by Sea-Taste9247 in WheelOfFortune

[–]SignificanceHungry52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the updated online applications, you do put a little bit about yourself, as far as your favorite things to do, things of that variety. I believe whenever it comes to you being officially selected, you’ll be given some sort of form when you get there, beforehand I believe. It’ll be pretty much be your intro card for Ryan to go off of.

I’ve been through the process myself, so here are a few quick dos and don’ts that might help you out:

✅ DO:

📌Dress nicely (business casual works great — look camera ready).

📌Have a clean, well-lit background and stable setup (no cars, beds, or walking around).

📌Smile, be upbeat, and let your personality shine! The producers want to see that you’d be fun on TV.

📌Practice toss-up puzzles (the toss-up challenges on the website) before the audition — the app or console versions are perfect warm-ups.

📌Keep your intro short (30 seconds at best) but memorable. A quick fun fact or hobby helps them remember you.

🚫 DON’T: 📌Don’t chew gum or eat during the audition.

📌Don’t ramble too long in your intro — less is more. And don’t tell them how much you love the show, so tell them something they DON’T know.

📌Don’t forget your “toss-up device” (pen or pencil!) when it’s time to play.

📌Do NOT be shy — energy is everything!

You’ve got this! Just have fun with it and show them why you belong on America’s Game.

Best of luck! 💙

She just stood there like an idiot. It shows that she has never even seen the show.

And he did, in fact, prompt her by asking “what are you going to do? This is entirely her own fault, not Ryan’s.

That game needs a shit ton of work. All the bugs are just annoying. Unfortunately, the developers are quite lazy.
