$100K Bonus Round
After Leah introduces her mom Margie and daughter Milaya, she lands on what’s under the potentially valuable apostrophe. I have a bad feeling what this may be…

MGCA causes me to stick a fork in her…

She flubs the bottom word w/ PLAYING, FLYING and FLIPPING. I wish I was JUST BLUFFING about what she lost…

…she’s the first-ever $75K loser on the syndicated version of this show — ouch. 😖 And you read that right, folks — this amount we saw from CWoF has been added to the Bonus Wheel as of this season.
Did you know that Vanna used to be neighbors with Shaq (not immediate, but in the same neighborhood)?
MY RATING: 5
WHEEL of FORTUNE with Andy Nguyen 
We kinda worry if Steven did saved this week’s butts after that last night’s mayhem. We see if we are wrong.

Well Leah had something to dominate the game but it turns out that the worries had did sunk us in this episode indeed. And to start things off we really had a $75K debut in the syndies for the very first time ever (dont have to do a long pause though and no need the red text at the $50K this time)
Our rating: 4 😦

Not too shabby of a maingame aside from the many penalties in the Mystery Round to end the week (and Jesse’s stomach roll was so funny!), and Leah sure picked things up with the Prize Puzzle.
Bonus Round: I, too, stuck a fork in her when she only got the obvious G and became the first-ever civilian to lose the new semi-big one of $75K.
My Rating: 5 (D-)

The long pause for $75K dont need to do so for future recaps. And we might begin to suggest on removing red text at the $50K ones.

A Big Ouch indeed. Leah poor letter choice caused to cringe and cuss at her as well putting a fork in her costing her $75K.

The first half of the maingame was a little bit shaky with all the penalties that was going on, but Leah picked things up with the PP round, but I felt bad when she became the civilian to lose the $75K. When I saw that long pause after the bonus round loss, I thought she had became the second player in a row to lose the $100K.
My rating: 5

In future, Amdy or recappers do not have to put a long pause for $75K. The same is true for $50K without coloring.

Yep, what did I say? $75K was added onto the wheel and it was lost right after $100K which was lost right after our first and so far only win this season. WHAT IS THIS START TO THE SEASON?!?!
And I found out via fellow WordPress blogger Bobbymgsk, by the way.

How did you know there are $75K gonna put in the wheel? And if you say $45K is absent or retired, then you might got it.

Leah was an interesting contestant (and quite the gambler), but her $75K loss caught me off-guard (because of the amount).

At least we can put a note that the $50K would no need to put colored text (except for the retro recaps since the $75K doesn’t exist), and $75K don’t have to put a long pause like this one here (for now, this case is just only for the first time, but subsequent ones do not need to do so TBH). MDBR results or $100K still need this mandate though (and because there is only one such envelope).
