Contestant of the Week for October 5-9, 2020

Adam from Wheel of Fortune is your Contestant of the Week. It was looking to be a typical runaway game for Tracey… until we hit a $6K Final Spin! And wouldn’t you believe it — ADAM CALLED UP FIVE F’S FOR $35K & STOLE THE WIN FROM TRACEY IN A BIG WAY!!! That was $45,050 cash & biking plus the WC he brought to the BR. IN PLAIN VIEW he (literally) jumped into the 2021 MINI Cooper S Convertible Signature worth $36,850, giving him a final total of $81,900 cash & prizes! He said he didn’t even need a car, but he would take it. That resulted in a post-BR grand total of $104K given away in this entire episode!

Honorable Mentions: Shannon on Wednesday’s WOF episode calls up a PERFECT CPHI combo in the BR & won $38K, & she would depart w/ $55,950 cash & trip; Garrett became the first contestant on Jeopardy! this season to break the two-day win barrier & collected $63,700 of winnings during a three-day run plus the $1K third place consolation on Thursday; Kevin is on a two-day $42,900 run on Jeopardy!; The Goodners & the Johnsons dominating in their respective games on Family Feud throughout this season-opening week.

Elizabeth: $2,000

Julia: $19,450

Tonight’s Bankrupt Trash: $7,200 + WC

Scary moments:

-Julia PAINFULLY BANKRUPTS on the MDW’s left side in R3 to throw away $7,200 + WC — Should’ve used that card, girl!
-Andy forgot what the category for the Triple-Tossups was & incorrectly guessed ORIGINAL SONG LYRICS for the second puzzle, and it turned out to have cost him the game by $350 — UGH. -__-

Go check out Skipps Largo’s Game Show World!

This morning, I went in my site customization settings to go try to change the font, because it was ugly & it just did not fit the theme of game shows. However, my customization options did not include the option to change the font, so from that point, I decided it was time for a major upgrade in my design…

…so go check out the NEW & IMPROVED Skipps Largo’s Game Show World! Here, we cover the core four — Let’s Make a Deal, The Price is Right, Jeopardy! & WHEEL of FORTUNE (like we also do here on Gomez’s Vintage Reviews); as well as other shows such as The Wall, Press Your Luck, Beat Bobby Flay, etc.

Also check up my backup site, Skipps Largo’s Other World, which has also been upgraded w/ that same new design. Here, I post test recaps testing out new formats & trying out new methods for typing recaps w/ the editor, post non-gameshow-related content such as movie reviews and technological news, and more.

Go explore my sites & tell your family & friends!
