Episode #7021: Teacher's Week Day 1
Alright, everyone, it is now time for the moment we've all been waiting for; the season premiere of Season 37 of Wheel of Fortune!
This means we can FINALLY get out of the tomato bath that we've been stuck soaking in all summer. Good thing, too, because my whole body was shriveling up in there.
I sure hope we won't have to go in there again for a LONG time.
As usual, we are kicking off Season 37 with Teacher's Week. Last season, Teacher's Week helped Season 36 start out on a fine note, and ended up being one of the highest winnings weeks of the season. Will our teachers this week do the same? We're just about to find out and see.
Before I begin the recap, please read this thread if you haven't already. This thread explains all of the current changes for Season 37. I recommend reading the thread before reading any of the recaps, as I will not be explaining any of the changes within this recap (or future recaps should any changes be made mid-season).
With that being said, let's get the ball rolling, shall we? Season 37 of Wheel of Fortune........IS OFFICIALLY ON!

Well, this was a great way to start off Season 37. It's always great to start off the season with a Bonus Round win, especially with what happened in the last few weeks of Season 36. And NO tomato bath, this week, because of that Bonus Round win.
But that's only the first of 195 episodes for this season, Wheel Watchers! Who knows what the other 194 will bring? We'll find out as the season progresses, though.
I sure hope my prediction of Season 37 being the best season ever comes true, because so far, it's shaping up to be that way. Here's to a great first episode, and hopefully more for Season 37 of WHEEL.....OF......FORTUNE!
