Malin Akerman says that competing with her The Hunting Wives co-stars on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune was a dream crossover event from the moment they spun the first wheel to shared off-camera giggles. And while the group was already tight after shooting their Netflix series, the game show format underscored the things fans love most about them: their warmth and friendship and adventure together beyond what’s on camera. Reflecting on this experience, however, Malin was forthright about how special the encounter seemed.
“It’s a dream come true, and this doesn’t always happen. Although, I think I’ve been really lucky.”
For Malin, the show is more than just an opportunity to spin and solve riddles; it's an opportunity to celebrate alongside women she looks up to. She thinks that their enthusiasm together was just as beneficial to the game as their individual personalities.
She saw how a friendship that began in a drama series turns into a happy partnership on primetime television as the cameras rolled and the gears turned. She wasn't the only one who felt that way, as her co-stars exuded a similar blend of supportiveness, apprehensive excitement, and lighthearted rivalry.
What Celebrity Wheel of Fortune brought to The Hunting Wives sisterhood
The stakes change as The Hunting Wives stars exchange camera drama for game show glitz, but their bond gets stronger. Instead of competing against one another on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, they were paired together and supported one another during each spin. The performance gave them a new platform to express comedy, lean into empathy, and showcase their loving relationship.
Charity, puzzles, and sisterhood in one spin
Playing for charity gives Celebrity Wheel of Fortune a more emotional component that practically alters the rules of the game. The cast understood that success required giving back regardless of the result; there were no zero-sum stakes. Tensions that may otherwise develop under competition were reduced by that ethos, which also influenced the atmosphere in the room.
“First of all, we’re doing it for charity… So everyone’s a winner. No matter what.”
Because they believed they were working together rather than against one another, Malin and her co-stars were able to lean more heavily on support. The game elements felt less clinical and more joyful because of their mutual laughter, lighthearted banter, and sincere joy. The wheel, the puzzles, and the timed pressure all served as a background for developing friendships.
Matching energy, deep bonds
Malin claims that her co-stars easily became puzzle-solving collaborators after weeks of filming The Hunting Wives. Their connection on TV was fueled by their familiarity with one another, which also made their appearance on the game show seem natural. She has expressed in interviews how uncommon it is to find this kind of rapport in reality casting.
“I’ve amassed a great group of girls. But this group, like, every single one, there’s not a bad apple amongst us.”
Her admiration for them all is summed up in that sentence. This regard translated into reciprocal support, relief at right answers, and a sort of protective applause that boosted the competition on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Together, they transformed an episode of a game show into a celebration of sisterhood, demonstrating how true friendship makes every spin more delightful.
