–Amber Armstrong, a lady who cooks but takes existing recipes from big chefs married 4 yrs. to Phillip w/ one daughter from Elk Grove
–Eric Muncal, a married man to Nicole w/ a newborn baby Campbell (the wife chose this name before she met him and this is a tribute to her dad’s last name) from Fullerton

GT: $47,700
Jen’s Bankrupt Trash: $250 + XL and WC
Scary moment
-Anything that could’ve gone wrong did go wrong in R2 — Incorrect letter on the mystery wedge twice (first time since March 18, 2019), duds galore and a NULL CYCLE including a BANKRUPT near $3,500 sweeping away $250 + XL + WC (Quick note on the XL wedge: Unlike any other wedge, contestants do not physically pick up the XL wedge and it stays in play staying on the Wheel even after being lost to a bankrupt, dud, DQ or LaT. In other words, if a contestant loses the XL wedge to a penalty, he/she or another contestant has another chance to claim it.)
Category selection: PLACES/THING/F&D
$100K Bonus Round Win: Jen doesn’t get a bite of this DELICIOUS TAFFY, and that’s an XL disappointment because…

…DOG-BLOODY-GONE IT — DAY 2 AND SHE’S ALREADY OUR FIRST $100,000 LOSER THIS SEASON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. FURTHERMORE, THAT’S THE FIRST TIME THE BIG ONE WAS LOST ON PREMIERE WEEK SINCE S29. If she would’ve called the F’s, but man, did this really have to happen so early in the season?! -___-

GAME SHOW QUICKIES — Your Game Show Hub For The TL;DR! 
Since the Internet gremlins precluded me from successfully posting the review on Bobby’s site, here goes right here…
Taco Tuesday didn’t end too well. We had our first XL card landing today, but that did not factor in our first huge $100K BR loss of the season for Jen, so it is Sajak’s turn to order the donuts for White and Thornton.
My Rating – TOTAL ZERO (First Losing Show of any show, first blanked show, and already our first major grand game show loss this young Game Show Season).
Jen is automatically a candidate for Goose Egg Player of the Week. And the ghosts of Griffin and O’Donnell can laugh.
We went even on our major shows today.
The two-night AGT finale is next! Back tomorrow!

Note in passing, Skipps…this is our second overall $100K loser this opening week of our Game Show Season (after last Sunday’s PYRAMID bobble)—this will be explained further when we get to our “…Of The Week” honors on Friday.
Just so you know now…tomorrow a $1M grand prize will be given away on AGT’s finale, so at least a share of PLAYER/CONTESTANT OF THE WEEK will already be settled. We have these next three days to decide whether someone else will share the Top Title here with WHEEL, with the potential of three more $1M winners. Our opening week has just gotten started!

*sigh* Well, it’s time I told you the truth: you see, I was diagnosed with autism and believe me, it can cause my emotions to easily get out of whack, especially on occasions like this…and yes, I do apologize for letting my temper malfunction the way I did for tonight. Let’s just hope that I don’t have to get angry and lose my temper like that ever again. 😞😢
