November 17, 2020 Recap

Previously on Wheel of Fortune, Alex Lisenko ran away with $32,820 in cash and a trip to the Dominican Republic, but he could've had $7,500 more if he didn't add a word in the speedup puzzle of DECLARING VICTORY (What Are You Doing?). The bonus round didn't do him any favors as he wouldn't visit a POPULAR BAKERY in the Jeep Compass anytime soon (Place, GPHO). How will this Ultimate Adventure fare? We'll find out in a moment.

CHAIR is correct, but FOLDING, POLISH and GOLDEN won't work for the first word. This WOBBLY CHAIR collapses on the $38,000 that she could've won, so she's out with $25,950 cash & trip.

T-Mobile Puzzle of the Week: ADVENTURE ACROSS AMERICA

Closing Chat: Old words like "Wobbly" and "Trousers".
