'Wheel of Fortune' Winner Solves Puzzle With One Letter, Crushes the Competition
The answer was: "Port & Starboard"
By Julia Hays
"Easy breezy?" This game show definitely is for a whiz like this guy.
"Living in the moment?" How can you not be while wiping the floor with the other game show contestants?
As
for "don't let the cat out of the bag?" It turns out Robert is willing
to do that when it comes to revealing his game show secrets.
Take notes, people. This is how you bank two cruises.
According to TAPinto.net, which spoke with the "Wheel" winner, the champ provided some insight into how he dominated the game.
The
first step was when he found out the episode would be "Spin & Sail"
themed, in honor of the evening's sponsor, Carnival Cruise Line. "The
instant I got my theme, I immediately came up with an ever-growing list
of puzzles themed towards cruises, sailing, fish, boats – anything on or
in the water," the contestant told the site.
Study past episodes.
"The
show does sometimes repeat puzzles, especially themed ones," he told
TAPinto.net. He had seen that "Port & Starboard" answer used at
least twice before his episode. He even did research on the most common
letters to pop up in bonus puzzles.
Besides understanding the show's tendencies, the "Wheel" winner had one more thing that may have helped him win big.
Former "Wheel" winner Emilbert de Leon was in Robert's support section. The two met via a fan-site dedicated to the show.
And the guy's a good sport. Santoli apologized to his fellow contestants during the episode.
As
for what Santoli plans to do with his winnings, he told TAPinto he
wants to pay off his student loans and then buy or lease a car. "I know I
look like a bit of a dork on the show with my high-pitched 'Yeahs!' and
my childish jumping up and down after winning the Bonus Round, but I
was really, to quote the Round 4 puzzle, 'Living in the Moment,'"
Santoli said.
