So I've looked through the recap three times now and I still can't find any rhyme or reason as to why 10/2/18 isn't airing with the rest of the week's episodes. No potentially-insensitive puzzles, trip destinations don't appear to be an issue to them on reruns, no references to specific dates or holidays (not that that matters anyway since 10/31/19 is rerunning soon), no Mystery $10K SPIN ID drawing... Anyone have any theories as to why they're replacing a good episode with one that's not notable in any way, especially since the latter episode already reran a month and a half ago? 10/02/18: buyavowel.boards.net/thread/10225/october-2-2018-recap-placeholder04/08/19: buyavowel.boards.net/thread/10741/april-8-2019-recap-placeholderHighlight reel from 10/02/18 on the show's YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G68JD6Cf-c |

Could they be pulling that episode because of The Wizard Of Oz crossword puzzle? I don't see a reason why that's the reason but I think it's a possible reason to why they are pulling it I've given a possible theory already |

^ I doubt it. The actual Wizard of Oz story has been public domain since 1956.

10/4/18 that reran today was the GOLD SHOWER missolve. And I never got to see the full 10/2/18 episode. It was pre-empted on WBRE due to weather coverage. I really wanted to see that full episode. It was a great show.

Thanks to Wheel's random decision to pull 10/2/18, they turned a 1/5 week into a 0/5 week. Nice going, Wheel.

Hmm...wasn’t there an extra episode of Girlfriend Getaways that went unaired? Did they tape one?

^ I wonder when that episode is going to air. May 25-29 was supposed to be an America's Game week. I thought they would air it that week then the other 4 days that week would be reruns. They are probably not doing that. Maybe next time they pull an episode from a certain week they will replace it with that episode

^ They are very likely not going to air an "incomplete" week that is part new and part reruns if they don't have to. That episode probably won't air until production resumes.

They should have aired that on April 10 instead of UK Getaway's America's Game episode. If it ends up airing in Season 38 it will probably air during an America's Game week. Due to $37,000 being the minimum at the time of taping they should put a message in the episode saying it was originally supposed to air in Season 37 so it doesn't confuse viewers why they see $37,000 instead of $38,000 in a Season 38 episode. If a Car, $45K, or $100K was landed on in the BR of that episode then they won't have to put a message in

^ If they did that only with episodes where it landed on $37,000, then it would be obvious that $37,000 was landed on. Also, it's not confirmed yet that $38,000 will be the minimum for Season 38. I don't think Mike Richards will keep up with that tradition.
I think the reasons that the April 10 UK Getaway sixth episode wasn't pulled might be because of the seven R's and T's in Round 1, Jason's full Express run, and his win over $70,000.

^ We've had America's Game weeks air after mid-season changes like moving Mystery to Round 2 and some of the $800's and $900's decreasing to $600/$650. It wouldn't be a big deal to them.
They could also always air it on a Saturday, but then there's the issue that many affiliates don't air Weekend Wheel at its regular time, if at all, especially during football season.

^ We have had a new episode on a Saturday before. 11/12/2016. That was due to a one day delay by the election. I didn't think they would want to air it on a Saturday though. Because it's not because of a one day delay. Also I deleted my comment which was the one above the one above this one. I wanted to edit it that's why. I should have selected the edit post option instead

We have had a new episode on a Saturday before. 11/12/2016. Yes, and that episode did not air in at least half of America. |

All Wheel airings from June 13 onward, including weekends, are only listed as placeholders for now. Will keep you all posted when this changes.

Do you assume this is due to Wheel’s optimism that they can air either of the two unaired weeks in June? Or would you guess there’s another reason?

They're definitely not airing the unaired weeks that early. Collette and Carnival are not resuming trips until July and August, respectively.
The most likely case is that the person in charge of pushing the schedules at Sony simply hasn't been able to do so yet, or they haven't decided what other episodes to rerun yet.
I also checked Jeopardy!'s listings. While they do have an episode picked for Saturday 6/13 unlike Wheel, they too have just a placeholder for Monday 6/15.
