If all the letters automatically reveal themselves when someone solves the puzzle? Just to make it look shes actually doing something?

I assume that when they first started they didn't have the tech (or maybe budget) to implement something that could rotate the letters individually. Plus eye candy never hurts.

Well yes, in the early days she did have to physically flip the letters over

I assume they use touchscreens for much the same effect, but it's mostly for show

Then at least have her work for her money and manually reveal each letter when someone solves the puzzle.

Wheel of Fortune is a show that's been around forever, and it's target audience is old people.

Old people hate change, so it's Vanna turning those letters until she retires.

This is how the puzzle board worked until 1997.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhYjmG9EMqo

Since then... yeah, her job is pretty much obsolete, especially since there aren't really any prizes to gesture next to besides the bonus round cars anymore. But they keep her for eye candy and because it would look bad to just dump her.

Vanna continued: "It's incredible. I cannot believe it's been 40 years. Honestly, I've loved every minute of it ... Who still says they love their job after 40 years? Me! I really do.

If I got millions looking pretty and touching screens for a living I could say that.

I remember she actually had to turn the letters and when you won you spent the winnings on a beautifully tacky 80s showroom

@cuh

Great video you have posted! I just love watching "video unavailable"! Those are the best videos on Youtube.

Does no one around here check to see if their video links work before posting?

Vanna White is still doing Wheel Of Fortune? I have just looked her up on wikipedia and she is now 66 years old. Can't they find someone younger to replace her? When Wheel Of Fortune was shown in The United Kingdom we had four hostesses during it's 13 year run.

Don't belive you.

The other two videos including William's WoF video work for me just fine.

Also I do not use a VPN.

Nah cuh is just shit at posting videos and I have tagged him as so.

Ah, this is why.
They rather have the show girl that as old as them than a new hot girls

Vanna had to cover for Pat at least once. He had an emergency in 2019

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsxStjCeJ3E

Technically her regular job is relatively easier on screen than being the main host, but she doesn't get younger, and has to put in the regular gym work and hard dieting. Allegedly she's very shy from resorting to cosmetic surgery. And then who knows what diligent prep she needs before/after, care routines she has to stay on top of. Making that a lifestyle to just look good sounds very lacking in substance in terms of profession, isn't easy. Otherwise why is everyone here so ugky?

Just watched KaZooo brilliant WoF video. Funny seeing Minnie Mouse doing the letters. Also I must say that Vanna looks great for a woman in her sixties in that video.

So I will say it again I do not believe you that you watched cuh's video and I see there is no response from cuh about his crap at posting videos.

I did and all the play button in the right hand corner does is takes you to the Youtube home page.

Here is a video of the UK version:

Just because a video doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it is blocked for most users.

Businesses often restrict videos in different countries. That is how things go nowadays

There is no simple way to check.

Sometimes if you open the video on YouTube directly it will work. But often not.

Yeah that worked.

I tried the link in Kai's screencap and all I got was this:

If a video is blocked on youtube by country location it usually says so something along the lines of "this video isn't available in your country due to copyright laws"

In the Danish version of WoF they eliminated the letter girl and it's a lot less interesting. Of course, the Danish version was already extremely uninteresting compared to the spectacle of the US version.

It's because that user is a massively combative troll.
