Maggie Sajak, who uses social media frequently, sought to bring her followers and her partner in crime onto the same page through a question. The author posed, “Who is in Group 7?”, and he was accompanied by a brief and amusing video. In the video, Sajak is seen asking Ryan Seacrest what seems to be a question on the set of ‘Wheel of Fortune’. ‘Ryan, which group are you in?’ is what Maggie wants to know. Seacrest, whose facial expression reveals he is slightly harassed and astonished at the same time, responds, ‘Am I in a group? Group 7? I couldn’t be happier!’ Then, Sajak starts laughing and comments, ‘Okay then, come along! He is so cool!’ The dialogue implies that ‘Group 7’ must be a running gag or a playful banter between the stars and the crew of the show.

The post was immediately a hit among the fans who did not hesitate to claim their right to be part of the elm of the heated discussion of ‘Group 7’. One fan simply remarked, ‘Group 7!!! I’m so happy the Wheel of Fortune is in group 7,’ which shows their closeness to the show. The long-time viewer was the second one who expressed, ‘I’m always group 7’, plus he tagged the official account of the show and the hosts Sajak, Seacrest, and Vanna White as an indication of their perpetual support. The comment reveals how the inside joke achieved success in building a community and hence, belonging among the viewers.

However, there were still some audience members who failed to grasp the concept. Among them was one who was very confused and asked, ‘What is Group 7? I don’t get it,’ which must have been the same sentiment felt by many who are new to the show’s social media presence. One of the reasons why the post was so appealing is the fact that it was not, say, completely clear; it actually required the followers to partake in a small riddle. The childlike quality of the interaction was also credited to Ryan Seacrest who, even more than before, gave off the impression that he was the subject of the joke the more he talked. He commented, ‘I got ahead of the prank this time,’ which was indicative of a continuing, playful rivalry with Sajak. She then replied with a jovial threat, ‘Next time, I will get you,’ thereby reinforcing the humorous relationship between the two co-hosts.

The account of ‘American Idol’, a show that Seacrest hosted for a long period of time and has resonated thus with ‘Wheel of Fortune’, could not just watch and remain silent. The official ‘American Idol’ account certainly pointed out in no uncertain terms that it is nothing but a knowing ‘Of course he knows!’ The comment was very much one that received a reply, which only served to further foster the upbeat tone of the dialogue, with one saying, ‘He’s such a Group 7!!’ The inter-show support only reaffirmed Seacrest’s long-cherished and favored presence on television. In addition to the entire Group 7 chatter, the audience also commented on the new positive changes that were brought about by Seacrest joining ‘Wheel of Fortune’. One viewer’s comment was, ‘Vanna is the happiest now that Ryan has come on board, don’t you see?’ In other words, the audience is not just accepting but also loving the new hosting chemistry and the fresh energy that he brings to the legendary game show.
