Previously on Wheel of Fortune, Elaine Deslatte won the game with $22,900 in cash and a trip to St. Lucia even though it had some ugliness as usual. Unfortunately, she wasn't all that clean when trying to guess the bonus round puzzle of SIDEWALK HOPSCOTCH (Fun & Games, PGHO) so there went the $38,000. So far, a measly $121,757 has been given away so far this week. Can this episode somehow avert a skunking here? It all happens right here.

Cathy Lee: Also Torrance. Worker for the nonprofit Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute. Married to "her loving, fun and handsome husband" Tracy w/ 3 "crazy" kids & 2 in-law kids (they're also crazy).
Shereen Saado: West Hills. HR mgr. who loves cooking and drinking wine (it makes her feel like a better cook). Dog mom of a 6-yr.-old mini poodle named Hannah (code name "single, not married, no kids")

Not much help, but Steve still has saved us in about a second or two! After getting his hands on A HOT WOK, he finds...
...well, it won't be the keys to the Explorer, but I'm sure Olivia won't be that disappointed when she finds out that Steve has won the $45,000 for a final total of $62,200 cash & trip!
Closing Chat: Steve typically likes to call letters that people don't call often. Either way, it definitely worked out for him big time. Also, Vanna liked Pat's "manager" idea.
Personal Rating: 8
Well, thank goodness for Steve right there! This week, like the two before it, wasn't that great to begin with. Our contestants took home just $192,957 this week, which is another new season-low. Aside from Friday, I really can't think about any highlights that happened throughout the week. Well, there was 2 triple-tossup sweeps and a U2 song released a year before I was born, but that's probably it for the minor highlights. It's a shame that most of the games were pretty lackluster, contributing to the overall low weekly total. I should also notice that this is yet another week where R4 always started in Speedup mode (and we can thank the Secret Santa promos for that one).

Next up is Ultimate Adventures and I am positive that we'll see much better gameplay as we move on.
