Shelby solves LET'S KICK THINGS OFF.

Shelby	Ronnell	Jordan
$1,000

Let's kick off the interview portion of the show.
Shelby Oktavec (female): From Los Angeles, CA; studies communication at L.A. Valley College; she loves L.A. sports including the Kings and Dodgers, and she loves to go to games; her mom and aunt were both sisters on a Family Week show, and they inspired her to audition for the show!
Ronnell Wilson-Nichols (female): From Compton, CA; a registered nurse for 30 years and counting; she's married to her husband Rodney, and they have a blended family of 6 children with 13 grandkids (and one more grandkid on the way); she and her husband attended the same church for a few years, but they were formally introduced while he was in the way while she was driving down the street (so she almost hit him with her car), and they've been in love ever since.
Jordan Burger (male): From Franklin, TN; booking agent for concert tours, and curates festivals for rock bands and singer/songwriters and pop idols, keeping the dream alive; he's married to his wife Kate, who's a senior nurse advisor and a "total knockout", and they have a "charming teenage rockstar son" named Jake and a "hilarious and beautiful daughter" named Ashley (Pat notes that he's surrounded by beautiful women)

Before the final segment, Pat talks about last season's National Parks week of shows by Wheel and Winnebago, which included a "Win a Winnebago giveaway". The Winnebago was won by Eddie and Joyce Hightower, their first brand new one. They donated their old and aging RV to a local charity, knowing it would go to good use.

If Pat and Vanna were up there, the Hightowers would probably whip up something good for the host and hostess.

Jordan commanded the game right until that Speed-Up round. Amazing solve by Shelby. Merv didn’t call it Wheel of Fortune for nothing! 😉

Recap posted.

"Are you pleased or in a state of shock? Yes." That is all.

Oh, and I needed Shelby's choices to solve the bonus puzzle. Nice comeback in the last few minutes!

By the way, that Rhyme Time puzzle was a slogan for Arby's, so I didn't find it too weird.

The first two rounds were a slog with the dud calls late in round 1 and all of them in round 2. Good Mood Food is a better Rhyme Time than some of the others they come up with really.

They could've done better than Balloon Animal for TTU3.

What a Speed-Up round with the $5,000 hit and the early solve just before the buzzer for $24,000! Shelby just fleeced the win from Jordan.

Pretty easy bonus puzzle but not a cinch. Hopefully this is the start of a winning week in the bonus round!

A 12-letter Rhyme Time puzzle with no RSTLNE? Did the money just disappear from the show’s budget?

Anyway, this show was just pitiful…until Jordan took that finalspin , creating a rather dramatic finish to an otherwise modest maingame.

I too needed the picks to solve the BR (thought the last word ended with an H). Always awesome to see someone win $65K during the show’s last 5 minutes.

6/10

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

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

Shelby turned this game around in the final 2 rounds. This wasn't that good of a game until Shelby's speedup solve and bonus round solve.

I was stumped on Round 1 until Jordan called B. Shelby was too. Despite me being stumped also it still sucks to see her leave $9650 on the table.

That was a very impressive speed up solve. I had nothing at that point and she pulled it out. It gave her the win. She can thank Jordan for that as he hit the $5K wedge

I blanked on GRASP in the BR. I was thinking the middle letter was I.

Shelby looks very young. She looks about my age or maybe a year or two older

Some extra notes...

The unclaimed Savannah trip was to the 17Hundred90 Inn.

Also, Shelby's one of the weakest spinners I've seen somewhile.

Also, $6K final spins on every arrow. Yay.

This last episode of February was the epitome of why the show has its name. It looked like the expensive PP would matter for Jordan to win this otherwise lackluster game, but Shelby’s comeback (and BR win) changed all that.

Also, I didn’t think R2 was a sensible puzzle… at first. That was tricky (I only solved it when Ronnell chose the last consonant).

By the way, I RSTLNE’d the BR, and Shelby sure picked the right letters.

My rating: 7

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
