After the audience chants, the camera zooms onto the Wheel graphic, and a white light comes out of the hole replacing the proper center and reveals the show's set. The Wheel graphic then tilts to form the O in 'OF', and the rest of the letters (all silver) spin into place. As the introductory fanfare starts, a very low-pitched whoosh plays as the two bars combine to form the edge of a Wheel graphic with many different colors of lights reflecting off its wedges, on a starry dark blue background where bright blue streaks of light appear at random intervals.
This season's opening sequence begins with a 'swishing' sound added, at which point the title is displayed in outlined orange neon Arial Black lettering on two bars, with a light that flashes many different colors the title is written in lowercase on one bar and uppercase on the other.This season is the last to begin on Labor Day.
