Congratulations to our Most Valuable Oodler for February - Rachel B. from Langeloth, PA! She's a dedicated late-night Oodler who loves to lend a helping hand to new players on the GSN.com scene. Check out her tips for landing on the leaderboards and be sure to congratulate her!" I've dreamed of becoming the MVO ever since I joined GSN. I joined GSN out of my love for game shows, and stayed out of love for the games. GSN.com has become a second home for me, doing my best to collect and redeem Oodles and learning all I can to achieve higher and higher scores on the leaderboards. I'm here every night after midnight to see the latest Oodle promotions and even make my schedule around when the Oodle Bonus Trivia questions are posted.
When not playing I love to cruise the GSN community message boards to see if I can help any up-and-coming Oodlers. Since joining GSN, I've introduced the site to all my friends and family and they just love it. My favorite games are Bookworm and Mahjongg.
My tips on higher scores? Practice, practice, practice. I was awful at the games when I first joined, but becoming addicted to the games and nonstop playing made me better and better, now I make it on at least 5 leaderboards a day. I strive to make myself better, to play new games, and most of all, to win more Oodles. - rachelrunt"

ROGER! Big CONGRATS to Roger M., our January Most Valuable Oodler! He's proud to be named MVO and he isn’t the only one - his wife loves the perks and prizes too! Read more about Roger, his game tips, and the “brownie points” he got with his award!" Hello GSN,
I want thank you for picking me to be January's MVO OODLER. I was really surprised and happy when I received your e-mail regarding the January MVO. My wife's cousin introduced me to GSN two and half years ago and I have been hooked ever since. I look forward to when she sees announcements.
I have four favorite games that I play everyday. I really love playing Mahjongg. I do not play well enough to win Oodles, but that does not matter. Most days I win Oodles playing Wheel of Fortune and Spider Solitaire.
By far, the game I am most successful at winning Oodles is 25 Stud. My secret at playing this game is when I play I go for four royal flushes with a straight flush down the middle column. The sooner the goal is achieved, the higher the score. The minimum score that I look for to win Oodles is 250. I am thrilled every time that achieve a score of 400 or greater. My ultimate goal is to achieve a score over 500. My other secret is persistence. I play four to eight hours everyday!
Attached is an updated picture showing me proudly holding my golden Oodle that I received this past Saturday. My wife was thrilled from the number of gift cards that she received for Christmas. She told me to play for Oodles each day for as long as I want.
Thanks for all the brownie points. LOL- Thank you GSN - rogercpa"

Congrats to Amy, December's Most Valuable Oodler! We found her in a very special way…on TWITTER! She's one of our top followers and is always fun to hear from. This proud and self-proclaimed "nerd" dreams of one day appearing as a contestant on a game show. Want to know which one? Read below to find out and learn more about this awesome MVO and how she earns extra Oodles! P.S. If you aren't following us on Twitter, you should!" My name is Amy, and I'm an 8th grade math teacher. Being a math teacher requires me to be a nerd, but I'm not only a math nerd. I'm a game show nerd, as well! Any downtime I have is taken up by playing games on GSN.com, doing everything I can to earn Oodles, and watching any and every game show on GSN! My biggest dream in life is to one day appear as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune, and GSN helps me practice for that via Wheel of Fortune games, as well as keep my mind sharp while watching all other shows.
My typical Oodles routine starts right when I wake up. I always answer the Question of the Day, pick my Bingo numbers, and answer Oodles Trivia Questions that are available before I go to work. Throughout the day, I'll answer the Trivia questions as they appear, play any daily promotional games, and play Diner Dash (my favorite Oodles leaderboard game). Another thing I make sure to take advantage of is the Message Board Games for Oodles. I follow @gsnoodles on Twitter, which always alerts me when new Message Board Games are up. I retweet that announcement, as well as answer the message board question. It's an easy (and fun!) way to earn at least 50 Oodles for the retweet, and possibly more if my message board post is selected a winner! I'm honored to be selected the MVO for December.
Get Oodling, y'all! Thank you again! This is very exciting"

Congrats to Jason, our latest Oodles Ambassdor! He’s been playing on GSN.com since the birth of the Oodle, and he’s actually collected over 2 million so far! Want to know how he does it? Jason was kind enough to offer oodles of great game tips and advice! Read below for the scoop." GSN is my way to unwind when I get done with work and not to mention a great place to win great prizes. Once I get off of work, my oodle job begins! First off, I answer the Question of the day, Oodle Bonus Trivia Question and the Secret Word of the Day. Then i pick my Bingo Blitz numbers.Following that I begin to play Straws for the Wonder Wheel Spin, then its off start my journey on the leaderboards.
I always start with Alu's Revenge, I try to usually rank in the top 5 (TIP: For this game leave as many of one color connected as you can, then pop the other colors as the game goes along. Wait till the last possible second to pop the color you are stuck with, either when the tiles reach the top or when the time reaches 7 seconds. Continue to do this through all 6 rounds).
25 Stud; at times I try to rank in the top 10. This game is truly the luck of the cards. (My stratergy for this game is trying to get 3 royal flushes and a straight flush. The sequence below is how I try to get my board to look like) [8] [8] [5] [K] [K] [K] [5] [5] [6] [W] [8] [9] [9] [J] [J] [J] [9] [Q] [6] [Q] [6] [Q] (If you can place the 4th card of the same then I’ll do it where you get 4 of a kind instead of a full house).
Eggz; my leaderboard varies. (Tip: Is to make it to level 8 as fast as possible without using any of the 3 bombs, once on level 8 only use the bombs if needed).
Mahjongg Toy Chest I rank in the top 25 most of the time. (Tip: For this game get the 5 trophies for the matches in "X" amount of seconds, afterwards, scroll over the trophies to stop the timer (game glitch) then continue to make specific matches to earn more trophies. **Note** Stay away from the guitars until you really need to match them. When the board reshuffles, the timer will restart and this time there's no stopping it again) The breakdown for the trophies are as follows:
[2 matches in 4 seconds] [3 matches in 6 seconds] [4 matches in 8 seconds] [5 matches in 10 seconds] [6 matches in 12 seconds] [4 tiles consecutively on the same tower] [4 of the same tiles in a row] [8 of the same suit in a row] [all the bears in a row] [all the books in a row]. Zen Gems (Tip: My only tip for this game is only play on two different boards (DNA board and the OH BOY board). I found with these you can get a high score if you play them right. The DNA Board has a high combo match potential and the OH BOY board has alot of gems and a high combo match potential.
Flingshot (Tip: No real tip here, the first 2 sets of cards is easy (no wind) so they basicly go straight. When you reach the third set of cards and beyond you just have to watch the clouds and move accordingly to get the right angle to get the card in the hat).
Klondike Solitaire I usually start this game at 9pm CST. (Tip: For this game play the game out with the intentions to leave a king as the last card in the draw deck without your score dropping due to reusing the deck. Once you meet those conditions hit the submit score button to get the timer to stop and I wait till 11 pm CST to resume my game. Then at 11pm I resume the game and play the last king card. With the king remaining, the score should be 615 then playing the last card it will be 625, you have to have at least 1:55 seconds left on the timer to achieve the score of 733 which is the score cap for the game).
Thank you GSN for choosing me to be the Oodles Ambassador, just like the great people who came before me!!! blackwolf031578 (Jason)"

This month we thank Flora, aka flora1941, for being our Most Valuable Oodler. Flora is a 10-year cancer survivor and we applaud her for her strength (she has also donated many Oodles to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation). While on GSN.com, Flora likes to play the word games to keep her mind sharp. She probably also likes to win - and has won our $250 Daily Sweepstakes in the past!
Read more below to see how many grandchildren and great-grandchildren Flora has (it's more than 20!), and see who is named...Mischief!" My name is Flora. I have 18 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and #9 is on the way! I also have a Italian Greyhound (miniature greyhound) named Mischief. I am a 10 year cancer survivor and homebound because of several other problems so GSN is a Godsend to me.
GSN provides a way for me to keep my mind active by answering questions and playing your games. My favorite games are the word games, but I do enjoy many of your other games. I can get on my computer any time of day or night (often have insomnia) and play the games. Then there is the Chat room. I love being able to get in chat every day and talk to my chat friends.
I have also won a few things over the past couple of years when GSN was on live. I have had 4 calls and won 3 times. I also won the daily $250 sweeps once. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have all of these available for me."

What does M.V.D.C.F's stand for? Meet Zeke, aka zekester3 (below), and find out! Our September MVO shares his Oodletunity check list and why he logs onto GSN.com "From the minute my computer's turned on, until it's turned off..." Thanks to Zeke for being such a big fan and for sharing his picture with our Golden Oodle!" Hello GSNer's, I'm Zeke, AKA zekester3, my partner of 31 years, and I. are Yankee transplants. Moving from New Jersey to South Florida in 1980 and have lived in Tampa Bay since 1982.
I couldn't have been more excited to receive an email from GSN informing me I've been chosen as September's Most Valuable Oodler. I'm truly honored to be a part of many of My Very Dear Chat Friends, MVDCF's, and fellow GSNer's selected to be GSN's MVO's. I'm proud to be in such good company.
Being a huge game show fan, I've been watching Game Show Network since it first aired. I became a member of the GSN community in 2008, which turned out to be a one of the best decisions I could have made. I've been blessed to make some of the dearest friends anyone could ask for. Our GSN "Chat Family" is a close knit group of caring, friendly, helpful and supportive folks. They never fail to brighten my day and make me LOL, no matter how low I'm feeling. They have been there for me through the difficult times I've had to deal with the past couple of years. I consider the friends I've made through the GSN community, as my GSN Godsends. Thanks so much GSN for having a chat room, because without it, I, and other chatters, wouldn't have had the opportunity to make such wonderful GSN friends online.
From the minute my computer's turned on, until it's turn it off, I'm on GSN.com. I start about midnight, doing my Oodletunity Check-List. The lists consists of following: *Answering the Question of the Day, and grabbing my Wonder Wheel Log-In Spin *Answering The Midnight Oodles Bonus Trivia Question, (And 4 AM, 6 AM, Noon, Secret Word and 8 PM). *Pick My Bingo Blitz Numbers *Check for newest Game Of The Week, Winner Wednesday, Week-End Warrior or One Day Special GSN Promotions. *Playing a game of Straws, for a second Wonder Wheel Spin *Doing my daily Dumbville Garbage Grab for Oodles *Check-out the Prize Center, the what's new section and especially for new sweepstakes, entering the ones I'd love to win. *I go back to play which ever promotion games I need to complete.
After completing my Oodletunity Check-List, while waiting for chat to open from 3 PM to 6 PM. I play some games, my favorites are Catch-21, Eggz, Find-It and FlingShot. I am so looking forward to the return of GSN Live.
Thanks so much GSN for selecting me to represent GSN as their September Most Valuable Oodler. BTW: The photo of me with my Golden Oodle, was taken with the Sony Bloggie Camera, I got from GSN. Best Regards Zeke"

We asked Suzanne (aka espygirl) to "come on down!" this month and be our next MVO (we also asked her to bring her cat, Choodles - named after Oodles!). Congrats Suzanne! We hope you enjoy the "Golden Oodle" and thousands of Oodles we credited to your account.
Read below for more about Suzanne, Oodlicious tips, Choodles and another chat room shout out!" am honored and humbled to join Paul, Larry and Andrea as a Most Valuable Oodler. I will carry and represent this Golden Oodle with pride!! I first must say that GSN.com is not just a website for fun -- it is an active, ongoing community. From the GSN staff, to the sponsors, games, Oodles, the Network, the Message Board and the GSN chat room (shout out!) , it is a wonderful place to be. In fact, several months ago, we adopted a kitten, we named call Choodles (what we call oodles you can win in the chat room) because HE loves the website!!
As my fellow MVO's before me, I start my Oodle day with the ways I can earn immediate oodles: Question of The Day, Double Trouble and Deal or No Deal. Onto Bonus Trivia Questions, Dumbville Garbage Grab and then all the 10 point trivia questions. And then on to the Mini Scratch and Win. I've won over 218,000 oodles since I joined this great place almost 8 months ago!!!
I make sure I play Bingo Blitz, and then Straws to add to my Wonder Wheel spins. Many wise Oodlers have advised to save up spins. I can't help myself. But follow the advice as directed on the Message Board. Occasionally there will be a double Oodle spin-win day. I did win several thousand Oodles by waiting patiently for a double Oodle spin and win day.
I like to then play my favorite games. I have to say the Message Board blogs really inspired me to perfect games I thought were impossible; Some are leader board games, many are just for fun. I thank all those who have given advice, as I now land on at least one Leader Board daily. My Leader Board games have included Toy Chest, Fling Shot, Super Slots and Find It. My favorite games are just too many to count! I continue to learn a new game all the time.
As I said before, I am humbled to be among Paul, Larry and Andrea. While I am apart, in that I don't yet have a list of what wonderful items can be redeemed/won with my Oodles, I've only just begun!!!!
Have Oodlefastic fun!!
Suzanne and Choodles"

Our awesome MVO for June is Andrea (aka andrea7777). With Oodle in hand and a SCRABBLE Cubes promotion in the background, Andrea tells her "GSN Story."" First I would like to thank GSN for the honor of being invited into the Most Valuable Oodler family and join the ranks of the prior winners, Paul (MVO #1) and Larry (MVO #2). I will not take my role as official Oodles Ambassador lightly.
From the time I wake up until the time I go to bed, GSN touches my life in many different ways. My daily GSN tasks have changed a bit due to some of the recent changes GSN has invoked. First thing in the morning I do what I call my "GSN Homework". I log in and answer the QOD which pops up on my screen. Then I check my oodle history to see what kind of surprises I may have received over the night. I click over to Bingo Blitz and check the winning numbers and pick my numbers for the day. On average, I only win 0 - 40 oodles on Bingo Blitz and haven't quite figured out how to win more. I try a combination of blitz pick and my own favorite numbers but haven't been that lucky yet. I then tackle the first 2 of 3 Bonus Trivia Questions which are available under the GSN Live tab. Q1 comes out at 12:00 midnight, Q2 at 6:00 am and Q3 at 12:00 noon. We have up to 12 hours to answer each one, so you have to manage your time constraints well. I make a note to go back sometime in the afternoon to make sure I answer Q3 in time.
I then click over to Wonder Wheel to play the games to win my spins. The number of spins varies depending on different sponsorships GSN might have available. A good hint for all to remember is that the spins expire in 30 days so make sure you actually play the associated games before the spins expire. Afterwards I move on to DOND where I play the free game. My winnings here range from 1 - 250 oodles so I haven't yet mastered the art of picking the right case often lol. If the entry fee is discounted, I'll take a few more turns to try to improve my winnings. After that I make an appointment with those Jokers and play my 3 games of Double Trouble. Sometimes those darn jokers make me bust and I actually lose oodles, but more times than not I walk away with a nice grin from ear to ear. I then complete the 24 10 pointer questions and by this time should have added a nice sum of oodles to my daily total.
I then like to check the Home Page to see if there are any special promos. On Mon we have the GOTW and on Wed we have Winner Wed and recently we’ve been offered Weekend Warrior promos but often there are some nice surprises on other days as well.
I check back around midday, make sure I complete Bonus Trivia Q3 and click on Community to see if I have any surprise messages from by chat room buddies. It's nice to be able to keep in contact with them outside of chat and on weekends.
At some point during the day, I'll take my stab at Dumbville Garbage Grab and have been known to grab amounts in the triple digits. Whatever I get, it's always a nice surprise. I've already completed all the levels of play with the Dumbville game but every now and then I get a surprise by getting oodles for friend fails.
In mid-afternoon I'll check the Prize Center to see if any new prizes have been added which I may like to buy or read about in preparation for the Choodle questions in chat. Chat Room is truly one of the highlights of my day. I've made numerous friends (too many to mention but you all know who you are) in chat and look forward to talking and laughing with them every day. Quite a bit of information is shared here, both on a personal and GSN level. I love the challenge of the Choodles and Bonus questions that GSNAdmin asks and have done pretty well in winning more than my share of the answers. Some chat members have lovingly nicknamed me Queen of Choodles and I love giving Charlessims a run for his choodles lol. I try to greet everyone as they enter the room and have been kidded by some that I am in training to become a "Walmart greeter". lol I haven't been successful yet in getting on GSN Live but I have high hopes that things will change with the new format in August. I can only wait with fingers crossed because I do believe that one day my day will come. I just hope I won’t be too nervous to answer correctly.
On a daily basis, I check the Message Board for blog questions from GSNAngel and try to catch up on the information that is shared on the other blogs. I've obtained a wealth of knowledge from other users by reading their experiences in their blogs. I try to help other users by giving hints and tips for playing games and have been awarded NeighborOodles from GSNAngel, who is truly an angel, indeed.
Later in the day I take some time to try for the leaderboards. The games I've been somewhat successful with are Cubis, Flingshot and sometimes Bookworm and of course Black Jack under the Oodleland Games. I absolutely love the Crazy Eights Leaderboard games Toy Chest and Zen Gems and I've actually ended in an "8" position quite a few times to bring in buckets of oodles. Most nights I win hundreds of extra oodles just for making the leaderboards. Ka-ching! Ka-ching!
I've been a member of GSN now for about 2 years and when I first started my goal was to obtain enough oodles to buy a TV in the prize center. Needless to say by the time I had enough oodles, the TV was no longer available to buy lol. But I would love (hint! hint!) if GSN would again make the TV available as a "buy it now" prize. I've cashed in my oodles for a number of great prizes: 2 Mystery Prizes 3 Home Depot Gift Cards Mammut Headlamps EZ-Grabber Weather Station 2 Sony Digital Picture Frames Walmart Gift Card Bed, Bath & Beyond Gift Card Digital Key Chain Flash Drive and Left, Center, Right Dice Game which just arrived 2 days ago
So that's my GSN story and I've happy that GSN is a part of my daily life. Keep up the good work!!! I am very honored to be MVO #3 for June."

Larry (aka swm28wv) was delighted to hear that he was the recipient of the May MVO (Most Valuable Oodler) award! He gave us a great idea of what’s it like to be an MVO'er and provided some tips below for all of our fellow Oodlers! Way to wear that Golden Oodle with pride, Larry!" For my typical day on the GSN.com website, in no particular order: 1.) Answer the Question of the Day, 2.) Play all three of the Double Trouble games, 3.) Play the free Deal or No Deal game (and the extra four when offered at half price), 4.) Play "Garbage Grab" on Facebook, 5.) Play selected games to earn spins for the Wonder Wheel, 6.) Enter phone number 10 times an hour, 7.) Answer the 50-point trivia question (once daily) on phone number entry page, 8.) Answer all 24 of the daily 10-point trivia questions 9.) Answer the six GSN Live trivia questions between 3 PM and 11:59 PM EST Monday to Friday, 10.) Select Bingo Blitz numbers after 6 PM EST weekdays, 11.) Play Leaderboard Games (Personally, I only play "Suds" as I normally earn 30th place or better daily). 12.) Daily monitor the scrolling promotion banner to see ways to earn Oodles and for the game of the week, 13.) Check message board for new messages and chance to win Oodles on forum games, 14.) Log on to GSN chat (3 PM to 6 PM EST weekdays) to answer questions for Oodles (known as "choodles").
Now, here's some tips I can offer to players: 10-point Trivia questions: - Using the Firefox browser, bookmark each trivia question page and store them in one bookmark folder; if computer memory is sufficient, open all at once.) - A little known fact: open each tabbed trivia question before midnight EST to receive at least one hour of extension time to answer. Just click on each trivia banner again to receive the new day's question Double Trouble: - Play the 60 Oodle entry fee, normally ending up with a profit daily from all three in total (normally between 5 to 300 Oodles). - When double Jokers are included in three doubles in a row, it doesn't bust the player, unless it totals four Jokers, - Quit after the third Joker, normally the fourth isn't far behind. Wonder Wheel: - When over 85 banked spins, play games until under 87 are stored, as 90 is the maximum limit (after 30 days, the spins expire). - The Cyclone: Click and drag to the depository tube as quick as possible. If any purple remain, collect them if under 5 seconds left. - Horse Play: Use arrow keys, quickness and moving backwards are key to avoid other horses and maneuvering around blocked paths. Also, keeping towards the top of the screen helps; again backwards movement is key.
Saving the best for last, I humbly will tell my list of prizes I've won from GSN. Oodles: - Sony Blu-Ray player ("Buy it Now") - Sony Bloggie ("Buy it Now")
Playmania/100 Winners/Quiznation: - Cash - Signed Shandi picture and mirror - Black Lingo Hat - Black Lingo T-Shirt
Lingo Contestant Search Road Tour: - Blue Lingo Stress Balls
Thanks for all the great fun and awesome prizes, GSN! Sincerely, Larry B."

The games are great and the sweeps are sweet, but what makes GSN so fun? Our loyal Oodlers! That’s why we’re proud to announce a new monthly recognition program – the Most Valuable Oodler (MVO) Award. Every winner gets a limited-edition Golden Oodle (check out the pics), so without further ado, let’s find out our first winner!
April's Most Valuable Oodler (MVO) is Paul C. (aka pchittick) from Lynn, MA! Paul has some great stories and tips to share, and he’s taken home a whopping 9 Oodle prizes! Check out his story below, and let us know why YOU should join Paul in the ranks of the MVO!" Wow, this is a surprise. I'd like to thank the academy, my director, and my fellow actors...what's that, I didn't win the Oscar? Well, this is almost as good. Yes, I would love to be featured in the next Oodlegram.
Here is my routine for winning oodles. First I answer the question of the day; it's a fun way to earn 50 oodles. Next I click on the button to earn my Wonder Wheel spin just for logging in. I have found that even if I don't click on the button, I earn the spin anyway, but I still like to click on the button. Next I click on the win spins button, and I play Quick Quizes and Straws. That gives me my 3 spins for the day. I almost forgot that I always click on the home button at least once a day. At the home page, I can find out what the game of the week is, and other promotions that can earn me more oodles. There is always a daily promotion on Winner Wednesdays to earn extra oodles. When I play the required number of the game of the week, I actually play the game, and I've never had any trouble having my oodles awarded. Next is Double Trouble; it's a great way to earn a lot of oodles. I have to spend some oodles to play (I usually pick 15 rolls for 60 oodles), but I come out ahead most of the time. Even if I end up with a loss for 3 days in a row, I still end up making a profit for the week. I always play the Deal or no Deal free game, and when the entry fee is dropped to 30 oodles, I play 4 more times. Wonder Wheel is next; if I don't get at least 225 oodles for the 3 games, I consider that a bad day. Basket Case is pretty easy; I usually get the best possible score of 75. Horse Play is also pretty easy, though it's rare when I get the top score of 80, but I probably average around 78. I used to have trouble with The Cyclone, but I got some advice from charlessims in the GSN Live Chat Room. His strategy is to first keep clicking on the big groups of oodles, and not go for the purple oodles until 10 seconds are left. If you try to get all the purple ones first, you waste too much time. With Charles' strategy, I have been able to occasionally get the top score of 79.
Speaking of the GSN Live Chat Room, I chat almost every weekday. There are some pretty cool people in there. Mikethebear is always good for a laugh. If you need help with the 6 daily GSN Live trivia questions, the chat room is the place to go. The 285 oodles per day that you get for answering the questions is not too shabby. GSNAdmin asks 2 sets of 3 questions a day(this is in addition to the other trivia questions I just mentioned), the first person to answer correctly gets over 100 oodles. Some people like Andrea7777 and Charlessims seem to always win, but lots of people do. I personally have won 8 times. One or twice a week, there is a 200 point Bonus Question! The people in the chat room are friendly and very helpful, if you have a question about anything that has to do with GSN, someone will be able to answer if for you.
There's also 24 trivia challenge questions per day worth 10 oodles each; click on oodles, then ways to win, and then click on the games at the bottom of the page. I enjoy the questions; some people look up the answers, but I find it's more fun to answer them on my own.
I have won some prizes on the site. They include:
5:00 Gift Card to Chick-fil-A An ipod shuffle Deck of Oodles Cards Nice bathroom scale Tetris Cube Banana Grams Fever Pitch DVD $15.00 itunes Card (I won this on an auction with a slightly overkill bid of 92,123 oodles) $10.00 Donation to Red Cross to help Japan
I have been trying to get on TV to play for a prize, but no luck yet. I also play Bingo Blitz every weekday to try for the jackpot. 25Stud is my favorite game, I usually make the leaderboard. I have made the top 10 quite a few times, and I finished 2 once. My top score is 480. The secret is to first get a pen and paper and figure out what the best alignment of cards is.
Oh yeah, I was invited to a dinner with people from GSN and other players. I think I talked everyone's ears offs with my likes dislikes and ideas. It was an awesome time, and they gave me a $100.00 Amazon card and 5,000 oodles to boot!
GSN Rocks! Paul"

We're excited to introduce Marshall as June's Most Valuable Oodler! Marshall enjoys the competition on GSN and is a longtime fan of the GSN Oodles program. He's also an active Twitter follower on GSN Games. Read more about Marshall and his daily Oodle routine below!" I am Marshall, aka mbs1, and I am a long-time Oodler going back almost to the beginning of the program in 2009. I started out watching GSN Live, joined gsn.com and answering trivia questions for Oodles. They had six hours of GSN Live and even Saturday night Oodles (ah, the old days). Over time I played in the games in the chat room and eventually won a Keurig on GSN Live with Bob Guiney.
My daily routine consists of checking in on My GSN for daily promotions and to answer the Question of the Day and Bonus Trivia when a new question comes up. I get my two wheel spins for the Wonder Wheel and usually spin a couple to keep my balance from exceeding 60, always waiting for a double Oodles day of course. In terms of the three spin games I prefer Horse Play and Basket Case because I can often get perfect scores on each of them whereas I find the Cyclone more challenging to catch all the Oodles. I try to retweet the weekly Message Board Game and complete the Game of the Week. I like to play Wheel of Fortune because it requires some skill and luck to be successful. As far as the games are concerned I can't say much more than what others have, namely that most of the games require skill and a lot of practice.
I've won a few sweepstakes for gift cards and my collection includes Walgreen's, McDonald's, Starbucks, Amazon, American Express, Key Bank and CVS cards. I also won the $250 daily sweepstakes once in addition to the GSN Live win.
I have a home office in my New York apartment so I am able to update ChaChingo Bingo frequently throughout the day and gain the occasional Group Loot and match a number or two. I am usually up late so I log in at midnight to get my daily log-in wheel spin and answer the midnight Bonus Trivia question plus enter my Bingo numbers. I also like to complete the Daily Break once it's updated at midnight. On Bingo I play the same numbers every hour though I haven't had enough luck to win the Jackpot yet.
I'm honored to join the pantheon of Great Oodlers and hope to put my time to good use. I enjoy the competition on gsn.com and it's become a welcome part of my daily routine."

We're very pleased to introduce Sandra as July's MVO. She is a long time fan of GSN, as well as a veteran of the United Stated Air Force. She's traveled many places, and we thank her for her service! " Hello fellow Oodlers! My name is Sandra (sandyctoo on the message boards, which I recently discovered) and have been a GSN fan since before the Oodle. I'm so old, I remember GSN Radio, which I miss very much. I'm thrilled to be selected as July’s Most Valuable Oodler.
I'm a veteran of the USAF (11 years), where I was stationed at SAC (Strategic Air Command to you non Air Force people) HQ near Omaha, Nebraska, and a small air station in the Eifel Mountains in Germany, near the Belgian border. I took a lot of weekend tours while I was there, because I love to travel and have always been fascinated by ancient history. I'd dreamed of visiting all the places I'd read about in my history books. Living in Germany gave me the opportunity to achieve that goal. I've been to Egypt, Greece, Rome, France, Italy, Belgium, England, Austria, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
A senior citizen and member of the MOB (Mayor's Older Bostonians), I live in the greater Boston area with my 2 cats.
I'm afraid I don't have any tips as I never score very high on any game. Bookworm is my favorite, and once I start playing I find it hard to stop. I try to answer all the Daily Oodles opportunities, and play GSN games while "
