Bellamie Blackstone teases new changes

In a new behind-the-scenes interview shared on Twitter, Bellamie announced that Sweetheart Week will return to Wheel of Fortune. This is when couples play together on the game show. This is a big deal since they haven’t had couples on the show since before the pandemic. Teen Week will also make a comeback.

College Week will take place over spring break. Bellamie shared some advice for teens who want to try out for the popular game show. She feels that those who are good with words should apply to earn a spot on Wheel of Fortune. Prior to all that, Secret Santa will return for the holiday season.

However, the biggest change has to do with the set. Producers plan to take Wheel of Fortune on the road for its XL season. They didn’t share details on its new location. This will include a major set design. Fans should notice these changes by early 2023.

Wheel of Fortune Season 40 puzzle board has fans mixed

Back in September, Wheel of Fortune partnered up with NASA to design its new puzzle board. It made history by incorporating technology into its classic game show. They unveiled the new look before the Season 40 premiere. The game show returned on September 12 with long-running hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White.

Per Reader’s Digest, the original puzzle board required the use of individual monitors that relied on touch. The new one contains one large screen that requires a slight hover over each letter. This is due to the use of LIDAR technology, also known as laser technology. The new Wheel of Fortune set would also include new “graphics and logos.”

At the time, Bellamie revealed that this season of Wheel of Fortune would have “bigger prizes [and] bigger puzzles.” Players are winning more money than ever. There are even more changes to get your hands on the million-dollar prize. However, fans were mixed about the new puzzle board.
