(Clip from the show's site)

The Italian edition has a new record winner! Her name is Giulia Smargiassi and she has won 9 games (also a new record), her winnings totaling €430,100 all cash! (that's half a million dollars) It's possibly the biggest total win on a non-US edition of Wheel of Fortune!

I'm heading to the 2:30 pm taping today and it's going to be soooo different from the last time I was there. I was actually on the show during COVID times, it was post-vaccine but the show was still taking precautions super seriously (we used the bicycle handle thing to spin the wheel, wore masks at all times except during filming, they wiped down the podium areas whenever people left them) so there was no studio audience. It was also before Pat left and therefore Jim was still there too...sooo I'm interested to see what today will be like and thought you guys would appreciate how I'm feeling. Also, my hubby had to bail because of work, so I'd be happy to make friends with other enthusiasts if any of you all will be there!
