On October 24, 2024, “Wheel of Fortune” showcased another exciting episode with three contestants battling it out for cash and prizes. Marie-Eve Augier from Miramar, FL, proved victorious, while Tania Bachelacr from Auburn, ME, and Kevin Schemm from Goodlettsville, TN, also put up a strong fight. Each contestant brought unique backgrounds to the show, adding a personal touch to the competitive atmosphere.
Marie-Eve, originally from St. Lucia, watched the show during her long-distance relationship and is married to a trivia buff. Tania, a bartender aspiring to be a special effects makeup artist, and Kevin, who humorously admitted to stealing the good chocolate back home and dresses as a vampire or “Mrs. Doubtfire,” added flavor to the lineup with their distinct personalities.
Game Highlights and Puzzle Solving
The game kicked off with two toss-up puzzles where contestants quickly guessed ‘VAMPIRE BAT’ and ‘AEROBICS CLASS’, leading into a series of increasingly challenging puzzles. Marie-Eve demonstrated her prowess by solving the first round puzzle ‘WHO CAN IT BE KNOCKING AT MY DOOR?’ by Men at Work, under the Song Lyrics category. The second round saw Tania successfully guess ‘MACHO & INVISIBLE MAN’ for the Same Name category, navigating through a tough round with several bankruptcies affecting all contestants.
The Prize Puzzle round revealed the answer ‘LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER’ by Marie-Eve, who continued her streak. The Triple Toss-Up was a rapid-fire round with Marie-Eve and Tania splitting the wins; Marie-Eve guessed ‘SLICING PINEAPPLE’ and ‘CARVING PUMPKINS’, while Tania solved ‘CUTTING STEAK’. The excitement peaked in the fourth round with Marie-Eve solving ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’, securing her lead.
Bonus Round and Final Thoughts
Marie-Eve continued her successful run in the bonus round with the category ‘What Are You Doing?’. The puzzle, ‘POSING FOR A PIC’, was solved, earning her an additional $40,000. Her total winnings for the night amounted to $60,450 in cash and prizes, a remarkable achievement for any contestant.
