Previously on Wheel of Fortune, James Ingrassia won the game with $21,480 in cash and a trip to Barbados. However, he was the second unfortunate victim this season to lose the big $100,000 and his QUIET NEIGHBORS were not happy about that (People, CMDO). Can we have a better ending than last time? I hope so.
