$100K Bonus Round
Jason the boyfriend is here and Cody’s the second straight player to land on the I of WIN. Take away the first word, and you get a puzzle that wasn’t solved for a Ford Escape at the start of American Heritage week in S30…

MDCI only adds the vowel, but there’s a B courtesy of his WC…

The WC saved his bacon, and hopefully he doesn’t experience a BRIEF POWER OUTAGE as the second owner of the Escape SEL this week! His final total is $80,635 cash & prizes!
At the end, we see the hosts standing in front of the USS Midway in San Diego.
MY RATING: 8
WHEEL of FORTUNE with Andy Nguyen 
Oh man, Cody is really a dominative monster (yeah, like the April 19, 2018 episode which we gave a comment a while ago) and thank goodness the WC pick really braved (stands in the letter B, as in his pick) that BR ordeal so much we got a second BR winner this week.
Our rating: 8 😀 (thanks to the second half)
And speaking of BR, could that week be third time’s the charm we will finally have our second BR Car Sweep in the show history since Skipps’ birthday (The Good Life) week on 2010 (which we had a winning 3-2 BR week if you recall)? We shall find out tomorrow…😱😱😱

Cody cleaned up in the maingame especially with that $6K Final Spin! And it’s a good thing he had that WC to become the second Ford winner this week! Furthermore, we’re now on the verge of having a car landing sweep.
