Yep, it was me. I told some friends but didnt make a thread about it since i was disappointed in how i did. I called a wrong letter on the prize puzzle and it cost me the game, litterally the game because i would have went to the bonus round had i of won that round. But nerves get to you, exspecially a guy like me that is not fond of being in front of crowds. But i was looking at the board that shows what letters are left and meant to call "G" and with checking the board i called the letter beside it
But hey, I won enough that it paid for my trip out there and it also gave me enough to buy a Wheel of Fortune pin, which i happen to have had them autograph. I actually bought an extra translight and had them autograph both, but personalized one for me to frame
Only those that do, can be criticized. All the rest of us sit on the couch, bitch, moan and watch Wheel of Fortune. You da man for just doing it!!!

Hey...you were on WOF and I wasn't. That makes you a winner in my book.
I watched you, I was rooting for you...why did the girl that won keep calling Z and Q and X during the last round, it was strange unless she was trying to make sure you guys won a bit more...I had never seen anything like that.
How did you get on the show?

Congrats! My kid was a contestant last month and she made it to the bonus round at the end. They had my wife and I to the side of the stage and at that point it dawned on me that I should have brought my WOF translite.
Congrats with what ya won.

I have to ask, what the hell was with that woman to your left, that went to the bonus round? The final puzzle she is calling Z, X, and twice didn't even call a letter? WTF?

Seriously! I think she was trying a "strategy" of some sort. Haha. Troy, I give you props for making it as far as you did. It's easy for us to guess letters at home when you're the one up there in front of the audience. Glad you still won some money!
That is my guess.
Troy, you did a great job buddy and made us proud! I can only imagine how stressful it is to compete under the lights and the added pressure of being on TV!
That makes 2 pinsiders on the show in the past 3 years I think?
Can you tell us more about teh expereince and lead up to what it took to get on the show?
Quoted from Whysnow:That is my guess.

Ill write something up about the experience, but I can tell you this, even if I had not one a penny, it was worth it. My nervers may have got to me on the show day, but everything about the game was awesome. From auditions, notifications, couple days in LA (never had been to California before)
Ill write soon about it
Congrats! winning enough money to get the pinball game of the show you were on, while getting autographs too is absolutely awesome and a great story!!!!!!!
Quoted from vdojaq:My wife suggested she was throwing it so she wouldn't win too much money that she would lose her government handouts....oops, I mean benefits.
not cool
Congratulations on getting on the game! A few years ago I did an open tryout with like 900+ people, got called to the second round, but didn't make it to the second half of the 2nd round of tryouts. It's tough. So that there is an accomplishment!

Quoted from yzfguy:How on earth would you know she receives government assistance?
Quoted from vdojaq:I don't . My wife was profiling and I thought it was funny as hell.
your wife is a racist jerk. she sees a black woman and that's the first place her mind goes?
Quoted from pezpunk:your wife is a racist jerk. she sees a black woman and that's the first place her mind goes?
Oh, out comes the R word. Please oh please tell us how we should feel inside and if we don't conform condem us with your labels. 
Quoted from centerflank:Oh, out comes the R word. Please oh please tell us how we should feel inside and if we don't conform condem us with your labels.
i don't care how you feel inside. but when someone says something blatantly racist, i will call them on it. pretty much that simple.

Quoted from pezpunk:your wife is a racist jerk
Wow. She was obviously joking. But, oh well, just fire off an insulting remark at her anyway.

Dude, vdojaq's wife is black for all you know. The most prejudiced people I know are also the ones calling everyone else racist.
Quoted from beelzeboob:In before the rock!
Laughed out loud at this, Boob! Thanks.
"Lighten up, Francis!!!"
