On the October 23, 2024, episode of Wheel of Fortune, viewers saw an engaging mix of puzzles and personal anecdotes. Contestants Jackie Fakhoury from Visalia, Alexandria Harris from San Diego, and John Mallo from Solon, Ohio, competed for the top spot. Jackie, whose son once won a costume contest as an “old man” at just ten months old, ultimately took home the win. Alexandria, who had once dressed as a baked potato, and John, a hockey coach and Zamboni driver, provided some lively competition but couldn’t surpass Jackie’s consistent performance.
Game Play and Puzzles
The night kicked off with the $1,000 Toss Up, where Alexandria correctly solved “GOBLINS AND GHOULS.” Jackie followed up by securing the $2,000 Toss Up with “SUPPLY AND DEMAND.” The puzzles ranged from whimsical phrases to movie titles, including a humorous “THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT NURSE” in Round 1, which John solved. Alexandria picked up a significant win in Round 2 with “DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE” and led the prize puzzle with “MEDIEVAL VILLAGES,” securing a trip to Romania. The Triple Toss Ups were thematically tied to fun and games, featuring “WHEELBARROW RACE,” “RELAY RACE,” and “THREE-LEGGED RACE,” solved by Alexandria, John, and Jackie, respectively.
Bonus Round and Final Thoughts
Jackie Fakhoury, having accumulated the most cash and prizes, entered the Bonus Round with high stakes. The bonus puzzle category was a Phrase, and the solution “HUDDLE AROUND” proved to be well within Jackie’s reach. She successfully guessed the puzzle, adding a whopping $100,000 to her total winnings, which included cash and a memorable trip to Romania. Jackie’s grand total of $114,800 made the evening a monumental success for her.
