LIVING THING

Fred solves HUMPBACK WHALE.

Jenna	Jalecia	Fred
		$1,000

Jumping out of the water today:
Fred Fletcher-Jackson: From Severna Park, MD; drama teacher at the Benjamin Floulois Creative and Performing Arts Academy, and when not doing that, he's a bar trivia host and professional wrestler (he gets paid very little, but he does it for the fun); he has a girlfriend of 3 years named Megan...speaking of wrestling, because they met taking a professional wrestling class together and never looked back; he also says hello to his grandma who is 98 years old, and he grew up in her house and watched Wheel every night together, and she'll be watching!
Jenna Ferraro: From Claremont, CA; Registered Nurse who works at Children's Hospital Los Angeles; she loves dolphins (not the team, but the animal), and is obsessed with them wholeheartedly, but she doesn't collect dolphin things or anything
Jalecia Green: From Jacksonville, FL (Duval County); pharmacist who received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Florida A&M University; she's the biggest fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars, starting as a child as her dad had season tickets, and they'd go every Sunday (it started as "just being happy to be able to skip church", but now she's a die-hard Jaguar fan through "the good, bad, and for a long time, very ugly")

Like Ricky, Fred is "ignored" by Pat.

PHRASE

While he tries PONDERING and WONDERING for the last word, he soon solves HIS MIND IS WANDERING for a COMPLETE SWEEP!

His mind is blown that he has now won $40,000! Fred leaves with a total of $75,800 in cash and prizes! Pat jokingly wrestles Fred before the final segment.

In the final segment, Vanna had no idea that Pat was a wrestler. Before he did the show, he says he did that professionally...and an audience member laughs. "Like you never heard of 'The Masked Saje'?" Vanna likes the name, though.

Why is it the garbage bonus puzzles are always the ones that end up being solved? I wish I could hate it more if it prevented a sweep.

Always nice to see a sweep, though, he should be a real favorite among fans

Well, I wasn't expecting to recap a second sweep, let alone a clean sweep. Ricky still has him beat, though.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. He really did scare me for a moment, going from BGHO to a near miss. But he got it for a great total!

I wasn't expecting yet another Complete Sweep this season - major congrats to Fred! Only flaw about his performance was him declining the Express in R3.

Had the bonus puzzle be spoiled on TikTok though. And my dad mentioned Pat Sajak wrestling Fred before I even watched it.

8/10

The unclaimed Hawaii trip was to Aston Waikiki Beach Tower.

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.

Another clean sweep?! Way to go, Fred! 👏🏾

I kinda understand him declining the Express since he wasn’t sure about the second word. But good thing he talked out the Bonus Round. An envelope higher than $40K would’ve been the cherry on top for his stunning performance, but the wrestling match with Pat was still fun to watch.

The only head-scratcher of this game was Jalecia’s X call in Round 4. And I no-lettered the first Toss-Up and Round 1.

My rating: 9

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
