- I refuse to lose my shit over a dinette set.
- I could never be the asshole who bids $1501.
- Or $1.
- I spend an inordinate amount of time wanting to punch every contestant right in their stupid-get-up-wearing, excited-over-a-matching-washer-and-dryer face.
- I abhor the number five.
- People acting ridiculous over getting free crap makes me uncomfortable in that I can’t tell if it’s unbridled avarice that makes them act so stupid or if it’s that they’re groveling at the feet of big money corporations for junk that’s worth about half of what it sells for.
- I’m convinced the big wheel is fixed.
- Assholes who sit at home and watch even though they hate the show just so they can feel morally superior.
- I’d rather be on Jeopardy.

But could you spin the big wheel all the way around. I literally just witnessed a woman fail to get it all the way around in her first try and proceed to land a dollar — winning $1,000 or whatever amount it is nowadays. Interesting that you’d rather try Jeopardy but what about Wheel of Fortune?
@sornie,
I don’t know if I could spin the big wheel. I can’t figure out how heavy it is. Besides, I’m convinced it’s fixed. Really. They give the $1 to the most ridiculous acting contestant in hopes of garnering higher ratings and/or some viral video (see: lady who fainted during showcase showdown).
I’d be good on Jeopardy. I’m not the smartest, but I have a really good memory full of really arcane/useless information.
I liked the Wheel better when you had to spend your money on fake Dalmatians and living room sets. Do you remember that?
@Jodi,
A friend of my parents’ has (well had, last I knew) a WoF dalmatian from his appearance way back when. “I’ll take the remainder on a gift certificate!”
Ah, reminiscing. Now off to watch 1982 HBO movie intros…
How does it make you an asshole to say, “I think you’ve under/overbid on this item, but I don’t know the exact price.”?
@FS,
Have you ever actually seen the show? You know those people are assholes just by watching them.
@Jodi,
I attended college, so yes, I spent large amounts of time watching The Price is Right. And Young & the Restless, actually.
@FS,
I am watching Y&R right now! Though I have no idea what’s going on or any of the characters, because at 10 a.m. I mute the TV and put on some headphones. I “watch” most TV on mute.
“I refuse to lose my shit over a dinette set.” You crack me up. I’m a huge Jeopardy fan and if I ever went on a game show (seriously doubtful) that would be it.
