Fearing yet another Tuesday XL $100K loss: EVENT/THING/PHRASE

I’m not so sure about that choice…

$100K Bonus Round: Regarding Vanna’s look on the show, you might be saying to her, “WHAT A CUTE OUTFIT”, but Yolanda doesn’t even get the first word right. Did we make bad history of having our third Tuesday XL $100K loss in a row?…
