September 16, 2020 Recap (for Dan)

Previously, on Wheel of Fortune, Naila Ferdousi won with $23,100 against Susan Bull, who took home $17,630 cash & trip to the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately, we had to give our first gooseegg victim to Mark Wilcher. In the Bonus Round, Naila didn't win the BMW i3 AT FACE VALUE (Phrase; PDMA). Will these teachers give us a pleasant surprise this episode? We'll see very soon.

Go here for the previous episode.
