Scary moments

-On the opening $2K Toss-Up…

S _ A _ E
_ R _ G _ T

Raul, STAGE BRIGHTS makes NO SENSE whatsoever with or without the S at the end, dude. -__-

-In R1, Erin neglects to go for the double L’s and makes an unnecessary house minimum solve — sigh, here we go again. -__- Also, Luci repeated the S.

-Too many duds/DQs including the above.

---

Not feeling too good about this since the PP mattered for him to win: ItK/THING/PHRASE

Thank goodness..

WoF Retro Quickcap: 4/20/1990

Since tonight’s Wheel wasn’t so hot, dishonorable mention goes to…

Today’s challengers
–Art Sloate, a computer programmer for a major publisher who has an 18-month-old son and two stepkids and has done ski coaching from UC-San Diego from Mission Viejo, CA
–Susie Putnam, a married lady (she and the hubby were building a log home) who owned numerous ducks, pheasants, chickens and geese from the Black Forest of Colorado

Returning champion: Dorothy Moore (1-day $5,050)

---

Final Scores: Art: $1,500/Dorothy: $3,550 ($8,600 so far)/Susie: PARTING GIFTS

GT: a pathetic $5,050
Tonight’s Bankrupt Trash: $6,350

Scary moments

-Way too many duds on this episode. Period. Most notably this in R4…

S _ _ _ R _ _ R _ _ T
S _ O _ _ _ N _
_ _ R T

After the S-U bell rang, Susie called a CRITICAL L for loss of her chance to get off the schneid and solve for $13,142 cash & Ireland and the game.

---

BR Category: THING

Bonus Round: Dorothy surprisingly didn’t have a WISECRACK to win the Toyota Supra — oh geez. -___- Furthermore, the $8,600 she won was a RECORD-LOW for a champion at the time going into their final day.

---

My Rating: 1 (F-) (that fatal S-U dud killed any chance of redemption this show could’ve had)

Very, very FATAL, Susie.
