I grew up watching the show with my parents, but my wife and I began watching again in February of this year.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but they have to be using a racial quota, right? Over the past 29 consecutive episodes, there has been one black contestant on the show each night. I find the likelihood of that being random very improbable. How long has it been this way?

Wheel of Fortune is white supremacy. Those aren't really black people.

Have you noticed that ALL the letter blocks are WHITE? First a dim white and then they get BRIGHTER WHITE when a contestant gets a letter?!?!?!?!

Not even a nip-slip, so this should be ok. Very attractive woman now, and back then.

If whites weren't so damn boring maybe they'd make it on more game shows

Watching a tv show and counting the number of black and white contestants is a little strange, no ?

Aren't you supposed to watch Vanna or watch to see who wins and how much they win ? Or maybe watch to attempt to solve the puzzle ?

The percentage of the race of the contestants ? Really ?

I have yet to confirm central Americans really exist. They seem more like a cautionary tale to keep Spaniards from straying from their vows

If you read my OP, I didn't raise this after watching 2, 3, or 10 random episodes. You'd be oblivious not to notice that 1/3 of contestants were black 29 times in a row. But I guess I'm just the first person in America to notice.

True story:

At the frat house in the early 90's wheel of fortune was on the big screen in the chapter room where we were hanging out before dinner.

A puzzle came up on screen, and I solved it before the wheel was ever spun. Meaning no letters, just the single piece of punctuation.

Let me know when you solve it!

You went on a 29-episode bender watching WOF, and we salute you for weathering that storm for us. Few are like you. Few.

Statistically, they're throwing advertising money out the window.

We watch regularly with our kids in the evening.

Couple things to account for include: they are only bringing in contestants within driving distance of their studio because of Covid, they have always had casting calls to find compelling contestants, and if selected they typically give you options of dates to attend.

You may have noticed that they had 1-2 contestants everyday that had some random job while trying to break into some random area of Hollywood.

Jeopardy recently brought back their winner from out of state for the first time when Jennings began his guest host.

Ah, yes. Actual racial discrimination, such as selecting game show participants based on skin color, is no big deal. Noticing the racial discrimination, and pointing it out on a message board, now that's shameful.

Yes, they always have a black contestant now. I would not be surprised if they rig it to allow them to win.

I'm pretty sure we're frat bros now. I have to have the parliamentarian check the rules, but I'm almost certain there is a WoF letterless solve auto-bid.
