It’s Girlfriend Getaways Week on Wheel of Fortune and we’re posting the Bonus Puzzle with the winner’s final prize amount. By way of comparison, the Jeopardy! payoff is also included with a link to the recap of that game.

Mon 10-23-17 Wheel: $60,296
On Jeopardy: $15,001

Callie & Emily made stellar choices, getting 2 Ps, 2 Hs and, on the vowel side, 2 Os. And voila! They added $35,000 to the $25,296 they won in the main game.

Tue 10-24-17 Wheel: $79,750
On Jeopardy: $6,799

Elizabeth & Sharon only got their vowel, but there were 3 “Is” in the puzzle and that made the solution a piece of cake for them. The icing on that cake was the $50,000 on their card to go with the $29,750 they already won.

Wed 10-25-17 Wheel: $21,558
On Jeopardy: $14,801

Beth & Melissa got absolutely no help from their consonants or vowels. They were able to zero in on the last word all the same but that first word was a toughie for sure. Sadly, another above-average card ($45K) went to waste.

Thu 10-26-17 Wheel: $21,000
On Jeopardy: $18,801

Monique & Sierra picked a good vowel. There were 3 “Is” and that helped with the first word. Without one extra consonant to point the way in the last word, they ran out of time and missed out on the extra $35,000.

Fri 10-27-17 Wheel: $65,100
On Jeopardy: $10,001

Staci & Cathy got 2 “O’s” and one “C” from the letters they chose. It wasn’t all that much help but they worked on sounding it out and managed to get there before time ran out. They started out with $30,100 and picked up an extra $35,000 for their effort. Sweet!
