Here are the Bonus Puzzles from Weekend Escape Week on Wheel of Fortune (October 2 to October 6, 2017). By way of comparison, the Jeopardy! payoff for each date is included with a link to the recap of that game.

Mon 10-2-17 Wheel: Missed game (Cable Outage)
On Jeopardy: $65,600
Contributed by Richard Corliss: On October 2nd, 2017, Julie’s final total is $18,600, she chose Food & Drink instead of Phrase and Living Thing. R, S, T, L, N, and E gave her an E and an S. The letters she choose were P, D, M, A. 3 of the 4 letters were on the puzzle: a couple of A’s an M and a D. She was close to solving BAKED YAMS. She didn’t win a Mini Cooper convertible.

Tue 10-3-17 Wheel: $66,000
On Jeopardy: $69,000

Julie Canales added a P and two Os to her bonus puzzle. That enabled her to provide the solution right away and add $35,000 to the $31,000 she won in the main game.

Wed 10-4-17 Wheel: $56,574
On Jeopardy: $20,600

Cathy McDonald added a couple of Gs and Os with her letter choices and that gave her instant success. It also gave her a MINI Cooper convertible worth $32,730 to add to the $23,844 she already won.

Thu 10-5-17 Wheel: $16,500
On Jeopardy: $28,600

Darrell Jenkins got one lonely A out of his choices and that was just not enough help to give him the solution. The $35,000 he picked couldn’t go home with him.

Fri 10-6-17 Wheel: $22,780
On Jeopardy: $25,500

Britt Sanborn picked a G and a C that gave her the first word of the puzzle but the last word just escaped her. It just wasn’t a word she associated with the first. The card she picked was worth $35,000 and when Pat consoled her by saying she at least got half of it, she asked him if she could have half of the extra money. LOL!
