Here are today's contestants!
Jose Torres is from New York, NY. He loves to do anything with his son - since age 36, he's been doing anything and going anywhere his son wants.
Jennifer Peters is from Minden, LA. She just got married last night - and she brought her BFF instead of her new hubby.
Samantha Hicks is from Yonkers, NY, but is originally from the Bronx. She orders whatever food is on the show she's watching - she's just a terrible cook.

Also still instant-solving speedups without calling a letter. Ugh.
	WOFTracker Progress - Discontinued I'm afraid, but still plenty of old shows here.

It truly is a new era, we have kombucha as a sponsor!

It sure took a long time for the first 3 puzzles to be solved. It also got a little awkward in round 3 with Ryan not being able to distinguish between S and F.

I was surprised Ryan didn't prompt Samantha to call a letter before solving the Speed Up.

Pretty easy bonus puzzle, the added G tonight definitely helped this time. I'm curious why she called J though.

Had the speed up puzzle off only K and N. It appearing twice was a giveaway

Had the bonus puzzle of RSTLGNE. The G being added helped me get it. I think I still would have got it without G, Low-Fat would have been the key to me getting it without G. I wonder what would have happened if they didn’t add G. Got our first win of the Seacrest Era. She won $50,000 too that is awesome. In my opinion, this wasn’t a good maingame with all of them losing out on good amounts in all 3 rounds but the $50K win turned it around for me

Loving Ryan so far. There are still a couple edges he needs to smooth out, but Wheel has a lot of moving parts. His energy is palpable, and I like how he occasionally catches contestants up on the category and scores.

Was nice to see him handle a BR win.

Finally!

Thank goodness Samantha gave us this season’s first Bonus Round win, because the rest of this midweek episode had missed opportunities in every previous round. Her combo was interesting.

I’m also surprised Ryan didn’t prompt her to choose a letter in the Final Spin, but this is one of his first taped weeks, so I don’t blame him. And note to future contestants: Buy vowels.

My rating: 6
