Last time, on America's Game, we took a step back to the season premiere week. On the set of Teacher's Week, we saw Mike Richards intended on reviving The 90's since day one, the return of the pre-$2,000 Toss Up plug for the Secret Santa Sweepstakes, and Robert Norris taking the full tour and winning $18,352 in cash and trip to Aruba. Although he had a hunch edibles were delicious, he couldn't spot the last word of DELICIOUS WAFFLES (DMC O, Food & Drink) and didn't win the fabulous all-electric BMW i3. Tonight, we're leaving the previous episode here, and going back on a Road Trip. Will these contestants drive up a decisive victory, or get caught in a traffic jam? Buckle up. It's time for Wheel of Fortune!
Wow, the announcer told just about everything. Except for the fact that this recap is written by rockyboy34 and the Winnebago Solis is replaced with the Mazda CX-30 from Make Life Sweeter. And sorry, no T-Mobile Puzzle of the Week this time.
