College try

Wheel of Fortune is doing a college week. There's something about game shows and college.

The simplest explanation for the affinity is that college contestants tend to be young and good looking (duh). My aged self sounds a little grumpy about this, but TV is a visual medium. People with good visuals tend to make good TV.

Case in point: Molly Rodabaugh from the University of Tennessee (see screenshot). Molly is majoring in themed entertainment design, and I wish I could explain that subject to you. The linked story only says that "it involves designing spaces that incorporate elements of storytelling."

Well, game shows tell a story every episode: who wins and who loses. I hope Molly comes out on the winning side in Wheel's designed space. By the way, contestants always say that the space on Wheel of Fortune's set is a lot smaller than it looks on TV. They also say that the wheel is so heavy and Vanna is so nice.
