La ruleta de la suerte is an Uruguayan television game show based on the original American series Wheel of Fortune.[1] Presented by Rafael Villanueva and Roxanne Machin, it is broadcast on Teledoce.[2] The show debuted on August 11, 2020, being, its first episode, the fourth most viewed of the day, reaching 10.9 rating points.[3] It airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 p.m.

In each episode, three participants face different blank word puzzles; they must choose consonants and buy vowels, to solve common sayings and phrases. In this way, they manage to accumulate prizes, to be able to win a 0KM car.[4]

## Production[edit]

Initially, the show was going to be presented by Fernando Vilar, who had been summoned to host an entertainment program for the first time.[5] However, after having participated in the rehearsals with the scenography prepared, he decided to abandon the project, arguing that he "did not measure up" to such a challenge.[6] Finally, Rafael Villanueva was chosen to host the program.[7]

As part of the advertising campaign for the show, on the morning of the debut day, the Desayunos informales team was invited to test the game on the set.[8]
