WHEEL of FORTUNE with Andy Nguyen

In the last episode, fate did unfold. An abysmal episode, its tale retold.

Yet amidst the din, Chaun and Kristy shone bright, their match a glimmer in the dimming night.

Kristy claimed the Prize Puzzle’s flight, a victory and a traveler’s delight.

Though shadows loomed, their spirit did not slip. In that show, their moment found its grip.

In spins and rounds of fortune’s sway, Rob’s triumph shone, a bright array.

Despite the BR’s elusive prize, his skill and wit won hearts and eyes.

The Triple Tossup’s triumph, a sweeping spree, his victory declared, all-cash decree.

This show, a tale of triumph so vast, Rob’s win was a glory that forever will last.
