Everyone got some cash, but boy did Michael dominate with the trip, the Jackpot, and the car, saving us from the Car Dilemma (sorry, Ismael).
Rating – PERFECT 10! – but too late to save our sorry Losing Week.
That means our SURVIVOR stands alone as our PLAYER OF THE WEEK. More to come after a Primetime full of LINGO, starting next.
WTG, MICHAEL!!! 👏🏻
My Rating: 10! (A+) (despite a few bumps)
This milestone week was… interesting to say the least.
Weekly Rating: 7 (C-)
Even with some bumps in the road, Michael made this milestone episode enjoyable, from his enthusiasm to his epic jackpot! 🥳
My rating: 9
Weekly rating: 7
I’d say Big Money Week lived up to its name. Happy 8000th, Wheel! 🥂
