It’s Great American Cities 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 2-5-18 Wheel: $69,200
On Jeopardy: $20,000

All of Kelsey Echelbarger’s letter choices were in the bonus puzzle and they practically filled in 2 whole words. Solving it was a breeze and Kelsey picked up an extra $35,000, just about doubling her $34,200 from the main game. Fabulous!

Tue 2-6-18 Wheel: $14,550
On Jeopardy: $10,799

Sheila Burnham added a G and two A’s to her bonus puzzle and she did get the first two words, but began trying out different TA- words while her time ran out. Pat was holding a $35,000 card.

Wed 2-7-18 Wheel: $18,350
On Jeopardy: $19,601

Kendal Perry got one D and two A’s from her letters but she just couldn’t get a handle on it. Ten seconds goes by faster than you think, unless you’re waiting for something to finish microwaving. Kendal missed out on an extra $35,000.

Thu 2-8-18 Wheel: $48,850
On Jeopardy: $18,900

Matt Pitton put a P and two O’s in his puzzle. It looked promising to Pat Sajak and it was. Matt tried a first word that couldn’t have been there but quickly switched to the right one. He missed that million dollars by one spot on the Wheel, but he added extra $35,000 to the $13,850 already in the kitty. No regrets! On this show, you have to be happy that you got a bonus puzzle you could solve.

Fri 2-9-18 Wheel: $26,115
On Jeopardy: $30,799

Brian Viner had a Wild Card for an extra consonant, but it didn’t do him a whole lotta good. None of his consonant picks were in the bonus puzzle and there was only one A. Tough break and we finished out the week with another $35K loss. Everyone picked one of those cards this week and only 2 people were able to collect on it.
