Instead of the usual blenders and hot tubs, contestants will have some really awesome prizes to win like luxury cars, exotic vacations, and a chance to spin the wheel for $1 million.

  • On the air for 34 years
  • 1.3 million people in the studio audience
  • 50,000 people have made it to contestants' row
