December 3, 2020 Recap

Previously on Wheel of Fortune, Greg Wylie won the game with $21,750 in cash and a sizable gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods. But as it goes in the bonus round, we haven't been getting anything going as he won't take a PAID VACATION in the Toyota Highlander (Event, CMGI). Can these players step up today? We'll find out.

Sheryl spins that '.

CDMO:

Well, she just misses the second word with MAJOR (my first guess) and MINOR. A FORMER MAYOR won't give her another $38,000, so she's out with $32,300 cash & spree.

Closing Chat: Speaking about former mayors, Vanna's uncle named Billy used to be one from Dillon, SC.

Personal Rating: 7 (Sheryl was fun)

Welp, we're facing another SKUNKING. I'll buy everyone drinks if that ever happens...
