Contestant of the Week for October 12-16, 2020

Patrick from Wheel of Fortune is your Contestant of the Week. Patrick survived an ugly BANKRUPT FEST of an episode and made it to the Bonus Round. The last two words of this PLACE puzzle should remind you of that big loss on April 4, 2019 in S36…

…OUR VERY LONG GRAND PRIZE DROUGHT DATING BACK TO LATE 2018 IS FINALLY OVER & IT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY WITH THOSE LAST TWO WORDS — PATRICK HAS BECOME OUR FIRST $100,000 WINNER THIS DECADE (& first in the Mike Richards era) for a final total of $117,500 CASH & PRIZES!!! Way to go, Patrick!!!! You deserve it after all that nastiness w/ the Wheel that you & the others had to go through!!

Sad the confetti cannon didn’t work though. And I just wish this win wasn’t SPOILED in the promo reel. -__-

But aside from the win being spoiled, the confetti cannon not working & the Wheel’s massacre, this was a great gift for my 25th birthday!

Honorable Mentions: Kevin became an automatic entrant of the upcoming Tournament of Champions w/ a 5-day total of $111,301, but his run ended on a rather sour note in what was a DISASTROUS episode all around; Juggernaut Johnny’s juggernaut maingame performance on Thursday’s WOF episode, but his picks only putting up the obvious doomed him in the BR; Elaine was Kevin’s only competent challenger all week long but Kevin still came out on top by less than $1K — and Kristin’s current 2-day total isn’t doing anyone favors.

Wheel of Fortune Season 38 Week 5 Stats

Our first $100K WIN in nearly two years was truly a great gift for my 25th birthday! But aside from “Juggernaut” Johnny’s dominant Thursday maingame performance the rest of my birthday week was rather dull. -Skipps Largo to clarify
