Janeris & Jesenia did not sign the contract when it could’ve been a good deal, so with that, they became the lowest-scoring contestants of the history of the program. Janeris & Jesenia, you two made us all really angry & are this week’s Zonk Contestants of the Week (I don’t publicly announce this stuff unless I really feel the need to) & nominees for Embarrassment of the Year. Just, why????  -__-

Some more bad news…

Right now they are re-airing that flop of a TPIR Halloween special with a TOTAL TRAINWRECK playing of Gas Money, only two PGs won & a skunked first half, two FFBC victims & a loser won the showcase w/ a pathetic $23,301.

And on July 11th, Wheel of Fortune is re-airing an episode w/ a TOSSUP TRIPLE STUMPER (only such one of S36) + a TRAINWRECK Round 2, with only an expensive Prize Puzzle trip saving this episode from complete disaster. And this episode was the last of that record losing streak.

Another big throwback for WOF

We’re going a little further back for the week of July 6th. It’s GAC: Philidelphia from Season 33 that aired on the week of May 16, 2016.

On Tuesday, R2 began w/ seven lost turns, but the first four were kept due to the WC being lost to BANKRUPT in one of them, but the last three were edited out. Also, the PP copy included a trailer for The Angry Birds Movie.

On Wednesday, Melanie Bowen won the 1/2 CAR.

On Friday, two male contestants played, no vowels were bought in R1 & there were 2 PRs (R1 & R4). The $3K Toss-Up category was PEOPLE, while the BR category was PERSON. Also, quite a few contestants were BaV members this week:

• Monday: Jamie Handel (jamieh)
• Wednesday: Melanie Bowen (Melanie)
• Friday: Dan Farino and Emily Johnson (dfarino1 & erjohnson)

Reminder on the Remaining LMAD Air Dates & The Future of TPIR

Here’s a reminder on the remaining LMAD air dates:

• Tuesday, June 16
• Friday, June 19
• Wednesday, June 24
• Friday, July 10
• Monday, July 13
• Dealy Awards episode on a date yet to be determined (This has gone to waste and will never air)

The stats of these remaining six shows will be added together for the final season stats. We will NOT be doing any weekly stats anytime between these air dates.

As for TPIR, the current season has most likely been wrapped up. One more episode was listed to air on July 6th on the official TPIR schedule, but we weren’t sure since we were convinced that 6/2 was the finale. But after taking a closer look at it, the episode in question was the preempted 12/9 episode that aired on 3/20, & the official TPIR site mistakenly listed it to air on 7/6 & not 3/20. But then it was changed to the 3/17 episode which was never aired on some markets. My local listings show the 1/20 episode airing on 7/6, and it was mistakenly labeled as “New.” BEST/WORST Moments of S48 of TPIR coming July 6th.

One more reminder, no TPIR 4th of July special will happen this year due to COVID-19.
