Well got up to the River Park area to check out the auditions for Wheel of Fortune, and it was like nothing that I had actually ever expected when it came to a game show, and trust me it wasn't like any of the reality shows that are out there either. Now since the wheather here in Fresno happens to suck at the moment, however they put us into a building that was to hold us till it was time to go before both the board and the wheel that they had set up.
Now when I first got there and walked in, they handed me an orange piece of paper that I had to fill out, that once we were to get over to the main place, it was going to be the name on that sheet of paper that they were going to call out for going through the lightening speed round in order to be able to try to get qualified for the show. Now the place that we were in at the time was jsut a store front that was empty, and I believe that River Park got paid a good bit of money for the use of the space (there was nothing in there at all). It got there early for the second show so I was near the start of the line to go over there, but the building front got filled quicky as the time went on. I actually got to talk to a few people there.
Once we got into the place, the board that they had there was similar to the one on the show, but less high tech. Please note that everything that happened today can evetually found on the web site for the show: http://www.wheeloffortune.com/contestants/wheelmobile/ and you'll see me in the photos too, I'll be the one wearing the flag hat in the crowd (I believe I also got on their video that they were shooting, but I believe the mobile host got in the way of that one, but I know for a fact that I'm in the still photos for that one). Now their were prizes that were given, but in order to get them you had to be called and get on stage in order to be able to get what was given away. Now when you were called onstage, if you solved the puzzle that they had there, then you passed on, but you had to qualify in other ways in order to be able to get onto the actual show its self. Plus the one thing that I like was that even if your name wasn't called, you might end up getting either a letter or an e-mail for you to come back at the tail end of april for the call backs (I can only hope and pray for that since I didn't get on stage at all :( ). I'll tell you that over all the experince was amazing and not something that comes along every day, and I will never forget that day in the least. They are going to be here in town still tomorrow as well during the same times, so anyone that happens to live close to Fresno, come on over and check them out.
Now the revelations that I realized when I was on the bus coming back, was that I had been thinking that what if I was to go to liek say "The Price is Right" another show that happens to be like Wheel, and since they draw the contestants right out of the audiance, it would be my luck that if I was to go with others to that show (namely since I don't want to go alone and would want to have a cheering section) that someone else in my group would end up going to contestants row and I would never get up there at all. I mean even if they tried to prove that I would get up there, my luck would prove something else and I would be left watching them as they were to go up there. It's the same as relationships for me, while I'll had been up at River Park, I saw that everyone there either had a spouse or a boyfriend or girlfriend, and there I was on my own with no one. Now I've already stated this to a friend of mine, but unless someone was to come into my life and forceably change it, I would never end up with anyone and that's a fact. I've got the worst luck when it comes to the ladies, and I honestly don't ever believe that will change no matter how much I would love for it to. Only an outside force can ever change that, meaning that she would have to know what's going on and stick with me no matter what happened to me, but like I said, that won't be happening any time soon.
All in all though, it was good watching everything happen today even though I didn't get on stage. At least I learned a few things today though, my luck completely sucks, and I'll never end up with anyone :(
