New “Wheel of Fortune” Online Slot
We were informed from a very good friend that Blue Square Casino has a new "Wheel of Fortune" slot machine online game up. It's called Triple Action Frenzy. I've been playing it for a little, and it's actually a lot of fun, be sure to check it out when you get a chance. It's much better than basically any other slot machine game they have there, and I think it includes new music plus the current set. WHEEL OF FORTUNE TRIPLE ACTION FRENZY

To GSN From Fans: Fix Chain Reaction!
A bit ago, BuzzerBlog announced “Chain Reaction”, GSN’s new word game, was renewed for a second season. It apparently got decent ratings, but a good deal of the game show community, quite frankly, disliked it and wondered why it was renewed instead of other things like “I’ve Got A Secret”. Many issues came up with things like game play, set, music, host, contestants, and everything. So, we called out to our readers to submit their changes. The results were rather astounding. Including emails, we got over 50 comments. We thought it would be nice to showcase our favorite ideas and then combine them to make what we feel would be a better edition of “Chain Reaction”. These are also going to be submitted to GSN and Embassy Row. One quick comment before we start. We would like to note that, in theory, “Chain Reaction” is not a bad game. It has the makings of something terrific. However, there are so many tiny errors and flaws in the game play, set changes, music issues, host issues, and more, that it really takes away. When I say that we are making what we feel is a better show, I stress the we as in BuzzerBlog. We are not saying this is terrific to you or compares to the classic. This will just be a combination of your game play that was suggested into a format. Please click below the link to read your hard work. ONE MORE NOTE: BuzzerBlog is reviving it’s podcast talk show “The Buzz”. If you would like to be featured in it and interviewed about “Chain Reaction”, please leave a comment about this post or email us.

Take this as you want: Shandi Finnessey, co-host of Lingo and Playmania, stated in the news section of her website that Lingo will be taping after New Years, which is Q1 2007. No word on when episodes will tape. We'll try to get more. I'm glad to see that at least one of their decent shows is being renewed. Now if only we could get "I've Got A Secret".
