Earp, however, wasn’t done fighting. He stormed back by sweeping all three Triple Toss Ups, grabbing $10,000 in the process. That put him at $17,150. His final puzzle performance added another $9,500, giving him the edge he needed. By the end of regular play, his total reached $26,450 — enough to push him into the Bonus Round.
Unfortunately for Fisher, a high school psychology and U.S. history teacher, the night ended quietly. She finished with no cash winnings, though Wheel of Fortune awarded her the standard $1,000 consolation prize.
For the Bonus Round, Earp selected the category “What Are You Wearing?” With his mom and best friend cheering him on, he selected the letters B, F, K, and A to accompany the standard set. The board revealed “FAN_ _ BLA_ER.”
