This was a pretty decent episode and a nice match between Amy and Henry. On the bright side, Amy was a pretty good puzzle solver and Henry was a real gambler. Had Amy called the O instead of the A, she would've completely filled in the Bonus Round board. But she only won $33,000 anyway - way less than what she deserved. The only real downers were Henry PAINFULLY losing that car on the Express (I could tell that would happen) and our very own Kyndall getting gooseegged. Well, I hope you had fun, ma'am! My rating: 7 (definitely would've been higher if Henry won the Fiesta Well, I think this week is just another "Happy Holidays" week and that the theme relates to the prizes. Cool.

I thought this was a good episode as well. The saddest moment was for sure Henry's express crash... to lose out on the car & the trip like that! A real game changer for sure. Both he & Amy played well though. I felt so bad for you, Kyndall! You just had some bad luck with the Wheel! I totally would've gone for the Mystery Wedge in that situation as well, and aside from the couple of letters you were able to call in R1 before hitting the Bankrupt, you really didn't get to play much! What a bummer! I love the fact that you went for the Mystery, and you were fun to watch! Hope it was an awesome experience for you! From a personal standpoint, I would love to be on a holiday-themed episode; T1, R1, & R4 all came so fast to me (versus some of the other themed puzzles in other weeks!)

The "goose egg" stings a lot more in first run. This time the black wedge was the culprit.

kyndall, if it's any consolation, I know somebody who was on the show when they taped in New Orleans a few years ago; he didn't even get to touch the wheel until Round 3, and what ended up being his only spin of the entire game found a Lose a Turn. I think you absolutely made the right call on the Mystery Wedge, what with already being behind over eight grand; it's a shame it didn't work out for you. And this show sucks because Amy didn't call the O's to completely fill in the bonus puzzle. 1/10. (Yes, I'm kidding.)

Thanks for all of the feedback! I had an amazing experience - the time of my life. Bankrupts were my friend that day!! I already knew I was behind in the show, so I KNEW I had to go for the $10k. Especially since I wasn't even gambling half of that. I came to play, and that's what I did! Well, tried to at least! haha

kyndall, I'm sorry to see a fellow Illinoisan get goose-egged, but I commend your positive attitude and appreciation for the experience as a whole. As long as you had a good time, that's all that matters. Unfortunately, I didn't get to watch your episode last night, so I'm hoping to get a chance to watch tonight.

kyndall didn't get to watch either due to my current location, but as a fellow goose egger who suffered at the hands of that OTHER penalty wedge I commend you for your attitude of being blessed simply for having played the BEST GAME EVER. I suspect this is a rather uncommon attitude for us to have given how so few of us actually join the boards and make ourselves known.

kyndall, you are wonderful and I love you even more because what you care most about is how flippin awesome the experience is. Although, it did break my heart not only in present time but again last night to see that mystery wedge and Henry's Express snafu.

Ditto to all the sentiments expressed above. I sat in front of kyndall at my final auditions and talked to her during the break. I'm glad I found you before your episode aired. Congrats on fulfilling a dream!!

Well, I try to be a positive person with anything that comes into my life because it is how I want my daughter to be as she grows up. Plus, like it was mentioned above, not many people get the opportunity to play the BEST GAME EVER. And, to "brag" just a little about my game play (haha) I NEVER once messed up. I didn't call a wrong letter, guess the puzzle wrong, etc. I just had bad luck both times I had the chance to spin the wheel, and then my timing was off on the toss ups. (wah, wah, wah) lol Most of you know how great of an experience going on wheel is, plus not to mention the many, many new friends I've had the chance to meet, and get to know - personally and through the internet! I consider it a win-win situation. There are no losers on America's Game!

kyndall you did a great job and deserved a much better fate. I admire your attitude and your guts to pick up the mystery wedge! Amy won several rounds after mistakes that Henry made. If kyndall had been red, I think she would have won. The curse of listing "shopping" as one your hobbies during the intro has unfortunately been lifted. I hope Amy is enjoying blowing her winnings at the mall with her BFF's. Far as my personal dating life goes, I'm comforted knowing someone out there is more desperate than me to state they are "single and ready to mingle" during their Wheel of Fortune intro. So painful to watch and an inappropriate comment to make. Once she puts a screenshot of herself on the show on a dating app or two, I'm sure she'll be alright. Finally - I loved when Santa and the reindeer flew above the puzzle

Thanks SD8888 it really means a lot to hear such positive feedback towards my game play and attitude. I also think if I had been red, I would have at least got one puzzle, if not won! I remember thinking during the game "Come on, Amy. Let me have JUST ONE". Even the final puzzle... like you already know you are going to the BR, let me get this few thousand. But no. And yeah, a lot of people in my home town had the same point of view as to what you do on her little piece about herself. I, personally, would have never said anything like that. (clearly, I didn't say anything close haha) I almost feel like she had a recent breakup (she stated "recently single...") and just wanted to give the guy a stab on national television. Who knows. Either way, not my cup of tea, nor was it for most people that I knew that saw the episode. haha It takes all kinds of kinds, right?!

I'm curious when leading contestants have done that. While they probably can't make it obvious due to TV standards, at least one has to have done it. And no, since a reason was given, Ms. Q-X-Z *buzz-buzz* from November 10 does not count.

Yes, that was what a distant cousin (in law? I think?) of mine said who has watched "Wheel": "Also, promise that if you are winning by a landslide and the last puzzle doesn't have many letters and you know that nobody can beat you, let a person without any money or much less money solve it." (I won't include the rest of the text b/c it was kind of negative and Amy may make her way over here some day...)
I would like to think I would be in the moment enough to call an E or something during the speed-up and realize I was that far ahead, though I think the natural reflex is to solve when you know it.

Kyndall your show was really fun to watch, wish you could have gotten your hands on that wheel more! I felt a little uncomfortable watching your competition's comments but liked Pat's comment about "fixing the shingle" lol! He has such a cool dry sense of humor, slightly dorky like me So glad you had such a great time at studio 11
