TPH on WoF 12/8/17 discussion [SPOILERS]

[Cat Hammarskjold]

I hope you become a five-time champion.

[dhkendall]

I may be pretty darned good at trivia, but I'm still terrible at Wheel of Fortune. At least compared to the really great players.

Same here, I’m the TPH of Wheel. (Wait does that mean I’m great at Wheel or bad at Wheel? What I mean is I am to Wheel what TPH is to J!)

So looking forward to watching this!

Mod note:

I added a [SPOILERS] tag to the thread (hope that’s ok, Golf) so we can talk about the episode without worrying about tags now that it’s aired for some. (You can still use for big blocks of pictures or info like what Mark did)

To riff on Cat Hammarskjold’s post, it’s too bad there’s no returning champs on Wheel, because you’d be their Ken Jennings! Maybe they’ll have a favourites tournament to invite you back to!

They stopped having returning champions on Wheel of Fortune? I guess that shows how long it's been since I've watched.

It's been 20 years since there's been any sort of returning champion on Wheel

That's about when I stopped watching regularly. I think that after WHIO dropped J!, WKEF ran it against Wheel of Fortune for a year or two, and then WDTN put J! back in Hashem's intended time slot of 7:30.

TPH THAT WAS AWESOME.
I have not actively rooted for a WoF player in a long time, but that was serious fun. Congratulations, man. You owned that game. Also welcome to the Mazda owners club.

Bobby's precise, laser-focused demeanor reminded me of Matt Jackson slightly. I only wish to be the same if I ever get the call for J! Chalk up a moral victory for Natalie to be within $10k of Bobby's total at the end. Bummed he hit the Bankrupt and Lose A Turn when he did - total would have been much higher!

I think this is the first time I've ever cheered audibly watching Wheel; that was hella fun to watch. I'm very impressed and pleased for a big-time boardie win! Much congrats on a job well done Bobby!

How did you know they were Egyptian Pharaohs? They could have been pharaohs from literally any country!

I am very happy for you. I almost teared up when you won the trip to Hawaii.

Too bad Pat was unable to figure out that Michigan = hand-shaped.

How did you get on the show anyway? I have no knowledge of how the Wheel audition process works.

I wish I could reach through the screen and give you a great big bear hug. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I knew you'd do well, I've lurked around Buy a Vowel long enough to know you people are WOF masters, but that was mighty impressive.


There was a time I could insta-solve puzzles with the best of them, but it's been a long time since I've watched regularly and the puzzles they use now hurt my brain. Singing nightingales!?

[whoisalexjacob]

Congrats Bobby!!

[econgator]

Way to crush it, Bobby. Well done!

[Golf]

That was an awesome major league ass kicking!

We should not be surprised Bobby plays Wheel in an optimal way unlike most contestants.

Although I didn't think any types of gourmet cupcakes were available in his neck of the woods.

And hopefully he gets some good tax advice on the non-cash winnings.

Kudos.

Congrats Bobby! You had a clear strategy and strong gameplay, and I could feel your excitement. I am so happy for you

[Bamaman]

I have to work tonight, and my DVR isn't cooperating when I ask it to record stuff. Can someone post a link for the show somewhere?

I think Opus is going to post it in his bunker.

[kristinsausville]

Congrats on a great game!

[squarekara]

You played like a boss, kiddo! Great job!

[sillymonkey]

WTG Bobby! You were fun to watch because you pulled some good ones out of thin air, you demonstrated more strategy than we usually see on WOF and because you so clearly enjoyed being there. That was a pleasure. Oh, and congrats on the Mazda - we absolutely love ours!

[Bamaman]

Great job!!! As Golf said, you came to play. Good use of the vowels and solving the prize puzzle even with no money. Whoever drew your name in the Secret Santa game really lucked out.

I do wish your winnings hadn’t been so prize heavy as that causes big tax issues unless you sell the car.

I haven’t watched regularly in years and the puzzles have gotten a bit out there.

[Woppy T]

Congratulations TPH!! Haven't watched wheel in a while, really enjoyed chearing you on.
