Previously on Wheel of Fortune, John Makely ran away with the game with $23,560 cash & trip to St. Lucia. While he was dressed for a GALA AFFAIR according to Pat (Event; CDMA), the bottom word prevented him from becoming the first $38,000 winner of this season. Can these contestants give us an even sweeter time here? Well, read on to find out.
Go here for the previous episode.
EPISODE #7237: šMAKE LIFE SWEETERš
AIR DATE: 9/22/20
$1,000 Tossup: What Are You Doing?
P I _ K I N _
_ _ _ A _ B _ _ _ I _ S
PICKING CRANBERRIES is a bit too short, Ross.
P I _ K I N _
_ _ R A W B _ _ _ I _ S
Amy's PICKING STRAWBERRIES. We're going left to right...
Amy Miranda: Devore. Preschool teacher who's going to school full-time to become a nurse. Married to Joseph w/ 3 kids (they're 3 and under).
Theresa Reed: Pasadena. Program director for foster care progams and an advisor for students in foster care at a community college. Has 2 kids (19 yr. old son & 29 yr. old daughter) and a 13 yr. old grandson. Collected about 20 magnets of the 50 states.
Ross Lipschultz: LA. Account supervisor who gives a special shoutout to his mom (she encouraged him to be on the show).
Pat mistakenly called Amy "May" at first...oops.
$2,000 Tossup: Living Thing
_ L _ _ F U L
_ R _ Y H _ _ N D
This was used as a bonus puzzle early in S35 (solved for a Chevrolet Equinox), and a PLAYFUL GREYHOUND fetches Ross the money this time.
Prior to the prize plug, Pat makes a joke that "polarizes the audience" according to Jim.

Amy: $700 (2 T's), 2 E's, $600 (M), 2 A's, $500 near $650 (3 S's), I (No More Vowels!), $650 (R - $2,750 at risk)

Ross is CASHING in for his round total to be bumped up to the house minimum.
Duds: R (Amy), D (Theresa)
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Amy: $1,000
Theresa: Missed out on being the next Mystery winner.
Ross: $4,300
Ross's spingle was a bit understandable IMO - that last word was certainly a toughie. Still not the best option tho...

Next Letters: H, 3 I's, Y, F ($4,250 lost)
Ross: Solve Attempt...
A N Y T H I N G / I _
_ _ _ _ I _ _ E
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE in this game and Ross has won a trip to BARBADOS (Divi Southwinds Beach Resort) worth $7,000.
Bankrupt Dud: F (Theresa)
Pre-Triple Tossup Scores:
Amy: $1,000
Theresa: Absolutely Scoreless
Ross: $11,300 cash & Barbados
Theresa definitely thought the second word was IF...which doesn't make any sense at all. And this game's looking really dismal so far...

Triple Tossup: On The Map

Ross again with VIRGINIA BEACH.
3.
C _ _ _ O _ _ _ A L _ H

SPEEDUP TIME

Ross spins to the E in GAME.
RSTLNE:
_ _ _ N / T _ E
_ R _ _ _
PGHO:
_ O _ N / T H E
G R O _ P
Great choices - Ross will definitely JOIN THE GROUP of those who won a car in the Bonus Round. This maZDa (CX-30 Premium Package AWD - not the Preferred one like I first thought) is worth $31,295 and he drives off with $48,595 cash & prizes.
Closing Chat: The hosts talk about the new theme week and the "Cookie Jam" game.
We have a full credit roll to round out the episode.
Personal Rating: 6 (low maingame GT weighs it down)
