Previously on Wheel of Fortune, Juanita Paul somehow won the game with $23,750 cash and a gift card from a bike company. I said somehow because it did not look like she played very well here. And it was further cemented when she won't be WALKING AROUND with another $38,000 as she only called the obvious (What Are You Doing?, GFYI). Can we have some competent gameplay this time around? This recap will prove it.
Go here for the previous episode.

One of Jim's lines during the prize description was "We've all been on 'pause.' It's time to push 'play.'". Rather accurate to what we've been experiencing nowadays.

Personal Rating: 7
