WoF Recap: October 29, 2021

First Andynwof piece of action this season.

Behold…. two nights before Halloween, and Wheel watchers are in for a wild ride, if you know what I mean.
Will this be a trick or a treat? If Count Skipps Largula could tell ya, that would be sweet.
Or perhaps, it could be sour, but let’s venture and find out in the next half hour.

EPISODE #7460

$1K Toss-Up: THING

_ / _ _ S _ – W _ N
S _ _ U A _ I _ _

It’s not A MUST-WIN SITUATION for Chaz since the game’s just started, and he’s not the only guy amongst this trio of trick-or-treaters…

Angela Manes: registered surgical nurse who owns a bearded dragon lizard named Pink from Redondo Beach (CC misspelled her last name as Menace)

Cajuante “Q” Johnson: pastor working for the city and 49ers fan married to Leslie w/ two kids named Layla & Joshua from L.A. (CC misspelled his first name as Quentin — Lots of issues w/ CC this season…)

Triple Toss-Up: PHRASE

1.

_ H E _ E / _ I _ _ / Y O U
W _ A _ / _ _ _ _ ?

Q times out.

_ H E R E / W I L _ / Y O U
W _ A _ / T H _ _ ?

We have some questions from the contestants — Although Angela isn’t sure, she wonders “WHERE WILL YOU WEAR THAT?”.

2.

C A _ / W _ / H _ U L / I T
D _ W N / T H _ / H _ _ L ?

“CAN WE HAUL IT DOWN THE HALL?”, Q asks about his newly earned dough.

3.

W H I _ H / _ I T C H
_ _ / I T ?

“WHICH WITCH IS IT?” Whichever one gives you another $2K and the next spin, Q.

GT: $32,307
BANKRUPT TRASH (excl. MW $ & cardboard): $14,850 cash & Nashville

Angela could possibly win a biggie under one of these three MDBR topics, though I doubt it, given that the PP mattered for her to win…

  • PLACE
  • THING
  • FOOD & DRINK

I reckoned she was going w/ F & D.

…the Ford Bronco Sport.

MY RATING: 5 (bad first half)

ANOTHER IDIOT ALERT: “A & W”

We have ANOTHER TROLL ON THE LOOSE — Comment on gameshowquickies.wordpress.com & andynwof.wordpress.com from a user w/ the name “A & W” claiming to be Andrew Washko (likely an imposter) from the March 5, 2008 WoF episode making the same stupid malarkey as John Boyd, and look at the end of the comment highlighted in bold:

“Hi there, I’m the yellow player in this post. Whoever reads this first, could you please remove my name from this transcript and replace it with Yellow Player? I want my name off of all Google searches (or any searches for that matter). I asked Andy to do that for me, but he didn’t follow through, so I was wondering if you could do it for me please, here and on Andy’s blog. Also, I was really upset when Pat didn’t help me out to try to win the $36,000 and the game, but either whispering me the answer, letting me peek at his card, or letting the audience help out. I still haven’t forgiven him, even almost 14 years later.

IDIOT ALERT: “Fugga Uwap”

A GODDAMN TROLL under the name “Fugga Uwap” (most likely Shaun Shaffer) on Bryan Deng’s Game Show BD channel HAS DECLARED TODAY’S PAINFUL 3-STRIKES LOSS A TECHNICAL WIN & USED AN F-WORD.

I heard it here from Bryan Deng.

WHOEVER YOU ARE, LISTEN UP, YOU BRAINDEAD IDIOT, YOU HAVE NO SAY IN DECLARING PRICING GAME LOSSES AS TECHNICAL WINS. WHAT PART OF A LOSS IS A LOSS DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT KIND OF IDIOT ARE YOU???? DO YOU WANT FREMANTLE TO GO BANKRUPT?!?!?!?! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!!!!! 😡 😡 😡

Thankfully, Bryan Deng has banned that troll from his channel.
