So far, the only other bonus puzzle I've found where E was the only vowel was GEM in 1993. Given the tendency toward shorter puzzles in most of the 90s, I would say there's a good chance it's not the only other example.

The celebration must have been edited. A picture in the latest Wheel Watchers Club mailer shows the couple kissing, which they do not do in the show as aired. They might have reshot the whole thing, which would explain the fairly subdued reaction from them and the audience.  |

All I gotta say about this episode is that IT'S ABOUT TIME!The Mandells sure scared me in R1, but thank goodness Aaron solved it for all that cardboard (particularly that WC). I had a gut feeling it was DROIDS, but that word stumped me, as did SILK in R2 and the whole R4. Nice to see the Plourdes dominate the Prize Puzzles (and very nice to see a rapper), and Judd had some impressive Toss-Up solves. I got the first word of the BR with RSTLNE. Good thing the Mandells called the Y and H for $100K! 🎉 🎊 "Just for mentioning [Pat's] nickname in high school."  Wait...there's only vowel in the BR? My rating: 10!
You go, Mandells! Enjoy your winnings! |

They might have reshot the whole thing, which would explain the fairly subdued reaction from them and the audience. If so...why? Because they kissed? Because someone felt like they needed two takes of a $100,000 celebration that (based on this photo) might have already been subdued? I don't think the edit should've happened (the show's aired this sort of thing before), but if it was a full-blown reshoot...eesh. |

Aaron implied there was no reshoot, but the confetti was a bit delayed so they snipped some stuff out.

Knowing JERKY after RSTLNE is amazing, and good reasoning for calling Y. Aaron implied there was no reshoot, but the confetti was a bit delayed so they snipped some stuff out. ...So basically, someone in a position of power thought a slight delay in the confetti was just plain unacceptable and unfit for broadcast? *sigh* I mean, this isn't unprecedented, but still... |

On a couples week they probably had little time and had to cut at the margins. Of course the easy joke is that they weren't prepared for a win at all...  |

Maybe they didn’t want a repeat of this moment... |

So...
By airing order, it had been 274 episodes since the last $100K win (shows S-6494 to 6768). In terms of air dates, it had been 476 days. The current record is 311 episodes (3893 to 4204) and 624 days (05/21/03 to 02/03/05). We were less than 8 weeks away from breaking the episode record.
In terms of tape dates, it had been 505 days since the confetti had last been released. The previous $100K win taped on 09/22/2016; this episode taped 02/08/2018, so the 2017 curse even held true for the studio.
By taping order, it had been 267 episodes, 7 less than in airing order. Of course, this is assuming there was no $100K win on the third Disney World week. 12/01/2016 was the 66th taped episode of S34 (but the 59th aired). 03/21/2018 is the 138th episode of S35 in both taping and airing order.
