Even though the wheel is smaller than it appears on TV, it is only five or six foot in diameter, it is very heavy. I can't spin it very well so he turned the wheel and I guessed the letters and puzzles. |
I always watched the games but now I have someone to look for. I get excited every time I see him on TV. Nobody watches out for him like I do. |
I still have the letter seating on my desk. I was so excited when I got it because I wanted to be on the show for such a long time. It was the first time I tried out for it and I got lucky. I enjoyed the thrill of it all. I was also the youngest contestant on the show during that week. |
I was very nervous about meeting him. I wondered how the players would be with us but they were all very nice. Roy is extremely friendly and he even offered to give me a $1,000 if we didn't win any money at the game. |
It went very well. It was very exciting to be cast. I have been watching the show for so long that it was exciting to see it for real versus watching it on TV. |
We met the players for the first time and for a brief moment two hours before the show. They kept us separate the whole time. We only got to spend an hour with the players. Before we got on set, the show gave us their jerseys. Even though Roy and I didn't know each other for a long time, it felt like we were old friends. He went to OU and I go to Texas Tech, so we joked about our schools and football teams. He joked saying Texas Tech cheated during their game against OU. I joked back saying it was pure skill. |
