This episode gave us a lot more evidence that all the episodes were in fact not airing in taping order and were arranged in a strategic airing order even though their production numbers were in order, unlike Chase and Hustler. I mean, what would be the odds that the only double-win episode would be the first episode and almost all of the bonus wins would be in the first half of the season? There's no way the season was taped in the order aired (pre-Chris Harrison swap), especially considering that Vanna's red dress from the Chris Harrison episode was the one she wore in all the press interviews and photos. I'd actually rather re-watch episode 1 twice more than re-watch the last two episodes, honestly.

I'm actually kind of glad this is over. The regular show spikes my blood pressure because of all the poorly written puzzles, while CWOF spikes my blood pressure from the terrible game play no matter how much they try to simplify everything, and CWOF has the same problem that the regular show has had for 15 years now: nobody makes a big deal about what the Wheel lands on, made worse by the Wheel being overshadowed by solve bonuses because they didn't many any higher wedges. The Vanna thing in Game 2 Round 2 was really funny, though. I also find it sadly ironic that none of the 21st century song puzzles except maybe POKER FACE BY LADY GAGA were recognized by the celebs, while contestants on syndie Wheel continue to struggle with 60's-80's lyrics.

That all being said, I'm glad the general public has been enjoying this and I do hope it gets renewed for another season. If it does, I'll probably only watch the first half of it, though.

I'm surprised at the "last month" and "January" references.

Kevin's "D" moment cracked me up.

I'm actually surprised it took so long for a buzz-out to happen.

I swear Sharri busted out my TV speakers... I've never heard anyone peak their mic on this show before! Ow.

I love how she said "Vanna, what is that first one" and didn't realize she answered her own question.

Finally!

Kevin was funny and Sherri and Kevin not able to figure out VANNA in the Vanna and Walter White puzzle and the ensuing banter following was hilarious. I'm a little surprised they actually buzzed out Kevin, I didn't think they would enforce the time rule on CWOF.

Pat providing full explanations of the Before and After and Same Name categories was kind of annoying and didn't feel overly necessary.

Once again both bonus puzzles should've been solved. At least the million wasn't lost in the first game, but the $75,000 loss in the second sucked.

So overall I enjoyed watching and I hope there's another season, but there's certainly room for improvement.

This was a wild end to this season of Celebrity Wheel.

Round 2 in the first game took way too long. And too bad Rachael couldn’t capitalize on the $1M wedge three times.

I initially thought the second line of Round 1 in the second game was I WANT IT, not the third (think of “Formation” by Beyoncé). As for that game’s second round: had our contestants bought the A’s, they wouldn’t have had to stare at Vanna to figure it out. But I no-lettered AWARD-WINNING.

I RSTLNE’d both Bonus Puzzles. Perhaps Sherry needed the G in hers, and Kevin needed a different combo in his.

Well, that wraps up an insane first season of Celebrity Wheel. I hope it returns soon; it kept me entertained.
