On the October 21, 2024 episode of Wheel of Fortune, viewers were treated to an exciting match among contestants Mallory Rosetti, Branden Higar, and Tanya Webb. Mallory, hailing from Purcellville, VA, emerged as the night’s champion, taking home a significant total including cash and a tour of England. Branden and Tanya, while competitive, couldn’t match Mallory’s combination of luck and skill throughout the rounds.
Game Highlights
The game kicked off with Branden solving the $1,000 Toss Up puzzle, identifying “HAUNTED MANSION” as the solution. Mallory quickly took the lead by solving the $2,000 Toss Up puzzle “WICHITA, KANSAS”. The first round’s theme of “Same Letter” saw Mallory sweep “TRICKS, TREATS, TROLLS & TARANTULAS”, adding $12,150 to her total. She continued her streak by winning the second round with “JUMPING INTO A PILE OF LEAVES”, earning another $7,800.
Tanya struggled to find her footing, hitting a Bankrupt and missing out on solving the puzzles. In contrast, Mallory solved the Prize Puzzle “WITHOUT A WORRY IN THE WORLD” in round three, winning a Collette tour of England and boosting her lead even further. The Triple Toss Ups followed, with Branden winning the first and Mallory taking the subsequent two, solidifying her dominant position before the final round.
Bonus Round and Final Thoughts
Mallory continued her success into the Bonus Round, where she chose “Thing” as her category. The puzzle “UPBEAT MUSIC” was correctly solved, which earned her an additional $40,000, nearly doubling her total winnings. Mallory’s strategic gameplay and her ability to capitalize on her opportunities were commendable, culminating in a grand total of $81,248 in cash and prizes.
This episode of Wheel of Fortune featured a strong player who made the most of her game from start to finish. While the other contestants had moments of promise, Mallory’s consistent performance across rounds set her apart.
