After 41 seasons, Wheel Of Fortune host Pat Sajak is retiring, and now The Golden Bachelor contestant and Wheel Of Fortune winner Sandra Mason is paying tribute to him and revealing some of the show's secrets in the process. Sandra, a 75-year-old retired executive assistant from Doraville, Georgia, made her debut in The Golden Bachelor season 1. She formed a connection with leading man Gerry Turner, but it developed into more of a good friendship. While on the show, Sandra was known for her hilarious personality and kind demeanor.
"Thank you so much. You were a great host. You treated us all so special."
In an Instagram post, Sandra shared that she was a contestant on Wheel Of Fortune in 1988, and she won over $30,000. She said, "It was a lot of money back then." She then revealed some behind-the-scenes info that most people don't know about.
Sandra also revealed that all of the contestants received Wheel Of Fortune board games, trinket boxes, and watches. Sandra then said directly to Pat, "Thank you so much. You were a great host. You treated us all so special. You made us comfortable, and we couldn't have been more proud to be on that show...Whatever you do next, I know you're gonna be great. We're so proud of you. Congratulations!" Sandra also thanked Vanna White for being "a gracious host" as well.
Should Sandra Mason Compete On Another Reality Or Game Show?

Sandra should definitely compete on another reality or game show. During The Golden Bachelor, she had an incredible performance in the group date pickleball competition, playing hard with two artificial knees. Sandra would be an amazing contestant on a competition show like Big Brother or The Traitors. She'd also be fun to watch on another game show that requires skill, knowledge, and/or intuition, such as Jeopardy!, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, Name That Tune, or I Can See Your Voice. In April, Sandra revealed she filmed an episode of Celebrity Family Feud with her fellow Golden Bachelor contestants.
Sandra could also be a brilliant host or advisor in the Bachelor franchise. She made an appearance during Joey Graziadei's Bachelor season, during which she spoke to eventual runner-up Daisy Kent before her overnight Fantasy Suite date. She told her that she should keep positive thoughts and not worry about the other women. At 75 years old, Sandra has a lot of life experience, so she's very qualified to guide people on these shows.
Sandra would also be an extraordinary Golden Bachelorette lead, since she's ready to find the next great love of her life, and she knows what she wants. In fact, she was so dedicated to finding love on The Golden Bachelor that she missed her daughter's wedding while filming the show. Sandra has a vibrant personality and is a force of nature. No matter what she decides to do next, Sandra will continue to be an inspiration to people of all ages.
