It’s the Great Outdoors 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 11-27-17 Wheel: $16,815
On Jeopardy: $26,401

Daniel Young added a P and two O’s to the mix and it looked promising but, somehow, he just couldn’t get a handle on it. The $35,000 on the card stayed put.

Tue 11-28-17 Wheel: $19,737
On Jeopardy: $20,799

Phil Bennett filled in 5 letters on his puzzle: one G, two M’s and two I’s. He had the first 3 words figured out but that last one stayed out of reach. Same thing with the $35,000 the card.

Wed 11-29-17 Wheel: $20,800
On Jeopardy: $5,199

Chrystal Davis-Evans added a G and an H to the bonus puzzle, one letter in each word. It wasn’t much help though, when the G can have a soft or hard sound. She missed out on the Jeep Cherokee, but her substantial winnings in the main game were nothing to frown about!

Thu 11-30-17 Wheel: $15,000
On Jeopardy: $15,900

Stephanie Weyant spun the million dollar wheel tonight. She then only added one consonant, a P, to her vowel-laden puzzle. As luck would have it, her vowel pick wasn’t up there either. That still gave her the last word but not the first. She didn’t win the extra $35K on the card. Pat Sajak seemed so relieved that it wasn’t a repeat of the Zucchini Affair, that he almost forgot to show the location of the million dollar wedge.

Fri 12-1-17 Wheel: $25,714
On Jeopardy: $20,200

Tony Harrison got one G and one O from his letter picks but the G was a silent one, so it was actually more of an obstacle than a help to solving this puzzle. Bummer! He missed out on an extra $35K.
