Newlywed Jen Casillas won a trip to Barbados and finished “Wheel of Fortune” with $17,815, but failed to solve the Bonus Round puzzle “Taking Flight,” missing the $40,000 in the envelope. Host Ryan Seacrest consoled the Chicago contestant afterward.
In the “Phrase” category, the show supplied R, S, T, L, N and E; Casillas added M, B, D and A. As time ran out, she guessed “Tailing” and “Taming.”
Casillas appeared on the show two weeks after her wedding to Mark and had put off honeymoon plans, hoping to win a trip for later. The Barbados getaway became their honeymoon destination.
