Surprise double feature! This is my second recap of the day to celebrate my 20th recap. I would also like to take the opportunity to open the floor to requests once again. You can PM a request of any specific episode you want recapped that hasn't been done. I'll include a poll of the different eras of the show, and whatever era is the most voted will be one that I'll do a recap of.
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
This would be the first week of the free spin disc, and the last week that you will see the off-model $300 on the wheel (As it is replaced by an on-model $500 the following week)

And Helen says she wants to buy an E..... but she's not allowed to do that, she calls a K directly afterwards, but the judges have to go by the first letter she says.
