MY RATING: 5
WHEEL of FORTUNE with Andy Nguyen 
Came here from the article about Jackie Lamatis recent exit recently.
Not that much juice on this episode especially when Joanne’s victory was PP-mattering. At least she won’t settle for a heavy tax burden since she lost the Winnebago (ouch).

We see now you red texted Winnebago was because of a base price over $67k (and it is difficult to win nowadays, granted because of values over six figures and scarcity of the RV envelopes, albeit on the recent occurance Dec 6, 2019 which was won).
And thank goodness for the Tuesday episode as that only winner was also the BR sole winner that week… that followed after a disastrous (and not supposedly renamed) New England week.
