Previously on Wheel of Fortune, Renee Boganovich and Nina Vuoso completely dominated the front portion of the game with $32,050 in cash plus a couple of trips to Canada, although it wasn't a clean sweep. They nearly scared us at first in the Bonus Round when they immediately didn't get GROW UP (Phrase, MDPO), but they eventually solved for those Scion xBs, giving 'em a big total of $69,860. Now, on the day after Thanksgiving, did these teens also put on a good show? This recap will prove it.

Not much help and the boys don't have a guess at all. They may have remembered taking BIOLOGY not too long ago, but they're not the second straight winners of the Pair of Scion xBs. End Total: $29,200 cash & Caribbean. Another puzzle where BGHO would've worked wonders.
Closing Chat: Pat notes how well those teens did this week - pretty good if I say so myself. Hopefully, the Thanksgiving is out of the way and the Holidays come loud and strong.
Personal Rating: 7
Well, that was a fun week to recap! The teens have taken home $333,080 in all this week thanks to that big $100,000 win from Monday. Aside from that, highlights from this week include 3 straight $25K+ maingame wins at the week's tail-end, the $6,000 Final Spins from Wednesday & Friday, as well as both $10,000 prizes being on on Thursday (albeit by different teams). We've also had some really good puzzle solvers this week, namely Renee & Nina on Thursday (they were the other BR winners this week) and Pablo & Benji to a lesser extent on this episode. I would also like to note that I was really amused by most of their interviews and some made me crack up this much.
Weekly Rating: 7
The next week is Holiday Shopping and genius2751 recapped the opener years ago. I would really appreciate either wheelfan82 or Lucas Cox to upload the rest of that week's episodes (especially the Friday one).
- Tamar: Sophomore at Westchester High (Go Comets) in LA. Member of the Westchester dance squad. Enjoys spending time w/ family. Also, she's here for her mom since she passed away.
- Ashley: Centennial HS student in Compton (Go Apaches). Enjoys basketball, shopping, and dancing.
- Pablo: Piano player who went from classical to improvisational-leaning. Plans to become an architect or sports manager when he grows up. Fan of the Dodgers.
- Benji: He's an Angels fan.
Ah yes, the boys remind me of when my friendship was based off a baseball rivalry...and what's an Ashley Tisdale impostor doing here?
