The fourth compilation week from last season that aired on my show anniversary week was a DISASTER. Here’s hoping this season’s edition will be much better.
EPISODE #7971: 6️⃣✈️ SIXTH EPISODE WEEK IV✈️6️⃣
The short intro is used. And we’re starting on the set of Collette Show You The World where we had a car sweep.

Pat just knew she would pick LT.
$100K Bonus Round
The three females Stephanie brought along are mom Jan, daughter Sydney, and sister-in-law Michelle; she lands on the N of WIN. Stingy RSTLNE help but I can tell you they used the plural form of this puzzle in late S35 that triggered a $100K loss…

GAME OVER for her. She doesn’t hear the sound of a QUACKING DUCK for $40K.
MY RATING: 6
WHEEL of FORTUNE with Andy Nguyen 
Other than Harmony having her MDW voided by endgame for the second straight episode, the rest is purely a match between Bradon and eventual winner Stephanie in that night, but the losing streak continues courtesy of a tricky QU and we won’t be having a car sweep on taping day.
Our rating: 6 😮 (emoticon due to the first half)

That Stephanie’s Bad Letter selection made me stick a fork or two in her. Likewise She Dominated the Maingame although Branon came on strong at the end.

Stephanie finished strong thanks to her big EXPRESS run and Branon rallyed to a nice second place total towards the end. Harmony, on the other hand had nothing to show for her MDW.
Bonus Round: There was no way Stephanie could’ve gotten that with the QU- and double K’s in there. Looks like they’re still on a budget after those $100K BR wins from the past several weeks.
My Rating: 6 (D+) (orig. a 7 (C-); rough first half)

We think that they are either saving it for the 8K weeks or something even big occured.

Or maybe as what Ismail and deepscan might say, Price or any sister shows (because DSW on the day) may have hurt their winnings.

The maingame started out slow, but Stephanie really picked things up with her successful express run, but in the bonus round, she had absolutely no chance of solving with her letter choices.
My rating: 6

Even with the modest first half, Stephanie and Branon finished very strong. Stephanie’s BR *may* have been solvable with CDMA.
