These three want money, but how about some fame?
Vanessa Fanning: From Decatur, GA; has taught orchestra at school for over 30 years, has played cello and string quartet, and her quartet is named "Just Friends"; she's been married for 25 years, and she has a son named Arthur who's in the Army (he was named after both grandfathers).
Gabe Cox: From Lakewood, CO; married to her best friend Josh of 15 years, has three boys named Ethan, Micah, and Gavin. Her dad Warren is gonna be surprised that she's on the show, and he turned 82 this year! (He calls himself "Warren Out", and he has "Warrenisms" much like a certain host has some "Sajakisms".)

Bon Parungao: From Porter Ranch, CA; married for 5 years to Tina, and has a stepdaughter named Yuna; he's also a nursing student. He's part of a family of three brothers and one sister...and all the brothers have the same name, and so does his father. They don't need to identify, because when he's called, usually they're all being called!

^ I came here to post the same thing. It's been only 16 episodes, and the VOWEL one was actually taped a month and a half after this one, and sans-Mike.

inb4 I BOUGHT A JUICER. Jessie Rebhan won't be back to foil it again.

Not that Mike knew it would be his last taping, but it looks like he's going for 0/5 this week. Four of JKQVWZ in just two days. Part of Friday's puzzle is also spoiled in the weekly promo.

Very glad Gabe got it, though.

If the tournament is still happening, she deserves a spot. I had R4 with no letters.

Recap posted.

Yeah, Gabe was quite good. Her only wrong letter was early in Round 2, and the other three lost turns were BANKRUPT. Round 4 was amazing!

That was a weird bonus puzzle. I thought it was CAUGHT, but I got it with her choices.

The wheel sure was cruel tonight with all the Bankrupt hits, plus Gabe picking up the Bankrupt Mystery wedge (she should've listened to her father!).

Bon did well also, but Gabe was great for sure tonight. Her solve in the Speed Up was excellent.

Another I BOUGHT A ______ puzzle? At least tonight it was something someone might actually say. What will be bought next in the BR?

Another BANKRUPT-palooza night. Though I will say that Gabe was a good player, so that's a step up from last night.

Incredible R4! I wasn't paying attention and thought this was a PHRASE.

BR: I was thinking I CAUGHT A..., but I got it when her picks came up.

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

Really liked Gabe’s story and very glad she got to win for her dad.

Gabe overcame early bad luck to make her dad’s birthday episode a memorable one. She wowed me with her solves in the last Triple Toss-Up and Round 4 (though I got them when she did).

Bon earned a nice second-place total, and Vanessa played way better than the wheel treated her.

I solved R1 with just the S’s. And I saw the BR solution on the Internet, so I knew it with RSTLNE. Gabe did a fantastic job solving this puzzle.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
