Wheel of Fortune Season 41 Week 33 Stats

This week started off promising but took a really deep nosedive towards the end.

And I must say this again… we DO NOT want to hear anybody tell us to change $100K losses into technical wins. A LOSS is a LOSS. If you wanna fight with SONY about it, call 310-244-4000 and DON’T WASTE OUR TIME. 😡
