That reminds me of I BLEW IT from season 29. True, but THAT puzzle had quite some irony to it.

That was amazing Shonda, well done! I do think a little luck is always involved with these big wins, but you did great with the Express and they did not make that Bonus Round easy. You got the dream game. Great trips, tons of cash, and I think you left quite a mark at Wheel (even if to them it's only a monetary mark ). All that hard work studying and prepping for the game certainly paid off. Congratulations, you definitely did BAV proud.

I watched that last night. Great for her to be getting quite some recognition from the show itself!

Shonda, you did swell today! It’s a good thing you took advantage of your opponents’ greed and mistakes. And the fact that you won 2 epic trips (one was after a successful EXPRESS run) REALLY seals the deal (I think they’re better than Nicagura and Hawaii imo. No offense to some BAV member that won these two trips earlier this season.) Great R4 solve! I nailed it the same time as you did. I can tell you were thinking about some kind of FIREHOUSE with RSTLNE, like I did, and I was able to nail it when your picks showed up (Thank goodness for the A). Great job not getting the minimum and getting a higher amount! It seems like you were having an awesome time there! So, any plans with the winnings? Setting up the kids with college funds, Sallie Mae and a passion project - a documentary on motherhood and mental health. Thank you for the well wishes!!

From the makeup artist named Sandy, which was my great grandmother's name for me. (She could never pronounce Shonda) Randomly choosing the blue spot (my son's favorite color and he demanded I be the blue player) To leaving work early and hearing about the audition on the radio. It was a channel I never listen to, and a time I'm never in the car. I'm still on cloud 9 from all the recognition from the wrestling community!

Thanks all for the congratulations. I recieved so much love from Twitter, my favorite wrestlers, bloggers. My show aired on ABC, on Thursday which is Shonda Rhimes land. Everyone commented how Shonda's are ruling ABC on Thursdays, it was exciting to be even mentioned with Shonda Rhimes! I will say this experience was amazing. I met some amazing people and one not so amazing. This group of contestants were fun, energetic and just good people. Unfortunately, there was a couple of snarky comments made by one particular contestant about my game. Haters gonna hate. I'm a firm believer of what you put out, you get back 10 fold. I didn't remember getting the second toss up, but while practicing on the PS game I kept telling myself "you must solve the 2nd toss up and start the game!" I was happy to get that bankrupt out of the way early. On the express, I did not know the last word! I knew the second was french and decided to call the H in hopes it would help and it did! My cousin and I took 12 years of french lessons together, so it was fate that she was there and I won a trip to France. Although, she wants to come along to Fiji LOL The BR was easy to me, here's why. I order a lot of supplies from sign warehouses for my business. I just did my taxes and there were so many charges from various warehouses. I didn't intend the call the H, I was plugging in as many letters as possible before Pat egged me on. Even having to repeat the P gave me a millisecond to continue scanning the used letter board. One the letters popped and 3 out of 4 of the first word were filled in, I focused on solving that portion first and making sense of the puzzle. I was making such strange faces because my lips were sticking to my teeth. Apparently, my nerves manifest through a very dry mouth. During each break I downed an entire bottle of water and by the end of the round I was smiling like Mr. Ed again LOL I'm glad I can laugh at myself! All in all, this has been an AMAZING journey. I can't wait to attend Wrestlemania in April and hopefully meet AJ Styles.

No-lettered R1 and R4. YAAAS! COME THRU, SHONDA! I had that with the S's came up. The face I made before I solved was me saying to myself "how the heck do I know this puzzle already?!" LOL

Fantastic stories. Thanks for sharing them, and yes, Weestlemania should treat you like royalty when you go next! So much free publicity! 😂
Congrats again!

Your optimal Bonus Round picks for March 8, 2018:* VWHA([any]), but nobody's calling that weird combo. Not that Shonda needed those first two, anyway. You got the dream game. Great trips, tons of cash, and I think you left quite a mark at Wheel (even if to them it's only a monetary mark ). I'm pretty sure $71,200 cash is gonna leave quite a mark on Harry's wallet, especially at this point in the season. Well done, Shonda! My show aired on ABC, on Thursday which is Shonda Rhimes land. Everyone commented how Shonda's are ruling ABC on Thursdays, it was exciting to be even mentioned with Shonda Rhimes! I'm sure it was exciting, but I'm guessing they only said that because Wheel airs on your local ABC station. Wheel isn't an ABC network show, and never has been.

LOL Isn’t thi sthe strangest thing, sometimes you just see it and other times you (or at least I do) have a mental block. I love what you said before, everything aligned that night, that is how it goes. With no disrespect to your opponents, you have to sort of think if things are going to align, it might as well be me.
