WEEKLY RATING: 6 (D+)
Next week, we have our third sixth episode week. And @jbeaugard01, I hope you’re ready for your first-ever set of recaps since you’ll be doing all of that week.
WHEEL of FORTUNE with Andy Nguyen 
Highlights of this week
🙂 Best 🙂
Romantic chemistry expected. Well two wins means happiness.
😦 Worst 😦
That tale in Thursday was something to reason here.
😛 Wild 😛
The Friday story that could’ve scored a tiebreaker to deserve a wild episode, but it is good enough to warrant that.
What we learnt:
Many soccer preemptions which cannot be avoided…
Wheel had a heart awareness so take care of your heart. Or the song “Give your heart a break”
Personal comment: Another interesting week of romantic levels in our hands, that’s something to see.
10 words or less: More red packets instead of romantic. 囍*
*first time we used chinese wording in that, so long we count towards 10 words.
Our rating: 6 🙂
Also, Happy birthday to Vanna on Sunday!

I might need help with the custom HTML. I need help changing the color.

I saw in the drafts that you’re using paragraph blocks to make your test recap. The Classic block is preferred because it’s much easier and convenient (click the “+” button on the top left corner of the screen and find the keyboard icon in the “Text” section of the “Blocks” tab). Therefore, I don’t think you’ll need to use custom HTML here.
