Would you go on Winning Streak?

c_man

So you get three stars on a scratch card you received inside a birthday card or something, and it gets selected for next week's show. Are you gonna take your seat? Or chicken out and make your auld wan go on? :P

I think it'd make Mam's year so I'd let her go on for me, I'd be in the audience with a generic 'SPIN THE WHEEL' banner.

No. I'm a wanted man in 33 counties.

If be arrested mid wheel spinning.

Los Lobos

Free money? Oh god yes

diomed

I'm a Jackeen, so they wouldn't allow me in.

A relatives sister was on it last week. Not for 40k would I go near Marty Whelan. He'd drive you up the wall.

DarByrne1980

Id go on it. none of my friends watch it so no one i know would see me (well me ma would). Id love to spin the wheel. Id leave it spinning for a record length spin.

I'd go on it if I had the chance but I probably wouldn't accepted as I'm not culchie enough and don't have road frontage. :pac:

glynf

Streak.

Talib Fiasco

I'd get someone else to play for me because I am too busy studying for my exams and get a few pity awww's off the auld wans.

evolving_doors

I was on it! (For a relative)

Q: Would I do it again?
A: I have no shame, bring it on. There is 0 thinking/skill involved so just do what you're told and it'll be over before you know it.

Pumpkinseeds

No, I couldn't go on, I think I'd spend the time being sarcastic to Marty the twat Wheelan. I have to change the channel as soon as I see the guy.

Do you have a "10 year old banger"? They love a "10 year old banger" so they do.

Me and a mate were in the audience of Brucies "You Bet!" - slap bang in the front row..they stuck our guff for about 15 minutes of filming(arms crossed, looking grim, no clapping and no reaction to his "jokes") and then ran us to the back row..so naah, wouldn't do it, I'd be ruined.

I bet that Sinead will be bald as an egg by the time she's 50. She changes the hairstyle every week. When she did kids tv it changed nearly every day. Did she get married yet?
A lot of women contestants on these shows. Possible gambling problems?

She got married last weekend.

Apparently the wheel can only spin so many times, if it goes over a certain amount then you lose.

I'd go on it.

lertsnim

To win a minumum of €30,000 you can bet your life i'd go on it. Nobody would see it anyway

If this lady was a sister of your relative, wouldn't that make her your relative also

For example. My cousins sister is my cousin too.

(unless it was an in law, anyway, I'm reading too much into this.....)

January

Yes but my uncles wife's sister wouldn't be anything to me but I still call the uncle's wife my aunt.

Heisenberg88

Marty is that a pile of cash in your pocket or you just happy to see me!

gammygils

Definitely. But I don't know if I'd be old enough
I'm only in my 40's!!!!!

Bongalongherb

Damn right I'd go on winning streak Live with the baked head on me. It really can't be any harder than a job interview, so yep, I'd go on it Live and splutter nonsensical's to wind up the show-host and the nut-jobs that actually watch it while I get rich doing so.

Bring it on.

Candy_Girl

Hell yeah...I'm determined to get on before Christmas

It is RTE they have a nonextradition pact for any criminals who appear on their screens hence why the DLB, Dunphy, Bono and any other scummy bastids have not been locked up yet.

Summer wind

I would love some free money thanks. I've only seen it a couple of times and I don't know anyone who does watch it so bring it on. I heard you don't actually get the cars or holidays just their worth in money which makes it better again. Who's going to turn down some cold hard cash.

Seen it a few times by some chance it happened to be on, cant get RTE anymore, sure who'd be watching it, I thought about it recently, that I couldnt go on, but how long does it last, tell no one, dont bring anyone, so no one wants a cut, if someone spins the wheel on your behalf you'd have to throw them a few quid, unless the fcuked it up, what then?

It does seem to be limited in some way, do they put some brakes on there randomly to slow it down, you could swing out of it and it would still stop on the minimum amount. I think they must have it rigged in some way, if a lad comes on and thinks they will swing out of it, they position it a certain way and limit another, best just give the thing a light spin.

I wonder, do you get any practice spins? I wonder has anyone ever done their back in on it? or their hips going by the contestant profile.

Ah no, thats just Italian tailoring you see....

Straylight

I'd go on it, it's free money after all, but I wouldn't tell anyone that I was going to be on it. So when they show the audience with their stupid homemade banners and gormless expressions and Marty asks who I have supporting me I can tell him that I'm my own, smug in the knowledge that I've spared my friends and family the indignity of having to sit through that rubbish.

like gloria from white men cant jump.

Nope,I don't have the sufficient quota of whooping rednecks to sit in the audience

You are not allowed on unless you have Donegal connections. Every other week there is someone from Donegal on

_Whimsical_

It's the only RTE show I would appear on. The money is good and I could be absolutely positive that no one I know or whose opinion I care for would be watching.
Might get you some nods of recognition at Sunday morning mass in small country parishes but I'd say otherwise you could be on it every week without any of your social circle ever finding out. Unless the 9am mass crowd are your social circle.

I definitely would. It's free money! If I got someone else to go on for me I'd feel obligated to give them half the winnings

Ha I would worry about this too.

Really the person in the hot seat doesn't have nearly as much to be embarrassed about as the people in the audience that they have to bring with them. All the friends and family whooping while holding childish posters with "G'wan Mary" etc on them while getting not a penny for their trouble. They're the ones that carry the heaviest burden of shame.

I am making my friend play for me next week. Look out for me in the audience. I will be the one sitting with the hood up and wearing dark glasses
