Reddit Wheel Of Fortune
We’d like to buy an ‘A,’ please.
DAAAAAAAANG.
On Friday’s Wheel of Fortune, which slipped under the radar as it was preempted by March Madness, contestant Robert Santoli (Reddit user RAS310) crushed the competition with such ridiculousness that at one point, host Pat Sajak told him to slow down.
- Contestants guess hidden phrases by guessing letters one at a time. Contestants win money or prizes, as determined by a spin of the wheel, for each correct consonant they guess. But they have to pay to see what vowels are in a puzzle. The contestant that has amassed the most winnings at the end of a game goes on to play the bonus round, in which the player can win even more - prizes.
- Problem with Wheel of Fortune. So I go to the cave, and the radiation suit package isn’t there. I go back and I talk to Logan and I get the quest to pop up.
- 17, 2020, TikTok user @mostlyh2o reposted an old game show video that purported to show a contestant on “Wheel of Fortune” making an unfortunate letter choice. The puzzle in the video.
- The uwheel-of-fortune community on Reddit. Reddit gives you the best of the internet in one place.
His sheer dominance began in the very first round, when the 23-year-old Virginia resident solved the puzzle with just ONE LETTER on the board. He pressed the buzzer so fast that Sajak thought it was an accident.
Mar 31, 2016 On Friday’s Wheel of Fortune, which slipped under the radar as it was preempted by March Madness, contestant Robert Santoli (Reddit user RAS310) crushed the competition with such ridiculousness that at one point, host Pat Sajak told him to slow down.
It wasn’t.
From there, Santoli kept up the momentum, correctly guessing words and phrases, and raking in the prize money. The enthusiasm of the two other players, Bonnie and Noelle, noticeably waned over the course of the game. “They were still all-smiles, but looking at their facial expressions on the show, I could tell they just wanted to strangle me, and I don’t blame them,” he described on the WOF fan forum Buy a Vowel.
Here’s a highlight reel of Santoli’s amazing game.
In the end, he won $76,086 in cash and prizes (pre-taxes), and goes down in Internet history as one of the most delightfully gleeful WOF whizzes.
Pure joy.
In Reddit’s Videos community, Santoli showed up to comment about the epic game, and ended up answering questions about his game strategies, what happens off-camera and what he’ll do with his winnings in an impromptu—and quite fascinating—AMA.
Here’s what we learned.
Contestants are able to research the categories before the show.
Santoli’s episode was sponsored by Carnival Cruise Line so producers announced that the puzzles would be nautical-themed.
Every move he made was strategic, down to the way he spun the wheel.
His tip for Bonus Round contestants: Choose P and H.
$33,000 is the standard prize in Bonus Wheel. Santoli was hoping he’d win more—and he did. $45,000!
He wrote on Buy a Vowel, “If it is $33,000, I’ll still cheer and everything, of course. I’d be like those Deal or No Deal contestants who clap and say ‘That’s okay, that’s okay’ after eliminating a $100,000+ case.”
In the middle of the game, Santoli apologized to the two other contestants while he was doing so well.
Of course, everyone knew how they were really feeling:
Sajak appeared a little miffed at how the game was unraveling, but Santoli says he was truly supportive.
Another fun WOF fact: Contestants must clap for themselves.
That guy that came up to him at the end of the show and gave him a high ten? He’s none other than Emil De Leon, a former WOF contestant whose puzzle-solving skills went viral. They are good friends.
Think you have the brains to be on the show? Producers aren’t looking for contestants who’ll show off.
An avid game show fan, Santoli hopes to try out for more shows, but he’ll have to wait a year. He’d like to get on the upcoming revival of the classic game show Pyramid. For now, here’s what he’ll do with his winnings.
