Wheel of Fortune’s most prized tradition is the bonus round, where each episode’s winner is faced with one last puzzle and a mere 10 seconds to come away with an even bigger bundle of cash (or not). But fans want a word with host Ryan Seacrest about how he’s presenting the prizes after giving a puzzling amount of build-up to a player’s $40,000 win. On Friday, November 22’s episode, Brittany Brock, a kindergarten teacher from Chicago, Illinois, was the player to proceed to the coveted bonus round. By then she had won $17,300 in cash, a trip to Kauai, and selected “Living Thing” as her category. With the savvy additional letters of “DPBI” the two-word puzzle read as, “‘_ _ DDL_’ ‘P_PP_'”. Near-instantly, she correctly solved it as “Cuddly Puppy.” The broadcast cut to Seacrest and an excited Brock, and it was time to reveal how much she won from the prize wedge she picked. Seacrest opened the gold prize card and glanced at the figure. “And...” he told her with a surprised grin (below). After a few seconds he added, “Ready?” Broke clasped her hands over her mouth in anticipation as Seacrest then revealed she won an extra $40,000, the least one can win in the bonus round. “$40,000!” he exclaimed. This brought her to a grand total of $57,381 and she was overjoyed nonetheless, embraced her husband. On Social media, many fans celebrated the big win while left wondering why Seacrest presented the prize with such a prolonged rollout that it seemed like a bigger value and as if the confetti was about to overflow onto the Sony Pictures Studios parking lot. “Ryan acting like it’s $75,000 or $100,000 with the slow way he shows the amount,” one fan wrote when the game show shared the clip to YouTube. Over on the WoF Reddit, a fan dedicated a discussion thread to the moment titling it, “Bonus Reveal... lolz.” They continued, “I like Seacrest, but gotta admit, I’m not a fan of the dramatic 40K reveals lol.” “Agreed...” a second user wrote, arguing that a contestant in the future could be “disappointed” it’s not more. “The Mrs. and I commented on that last night. He presents it like it’s something more than the minimum prize amount! One of these days, the contestant is going to react disappointedly.” A third wrote, “He also contorts his body awkwardly and bounces around to just flip the card open. Then says ‘it was this much’ as if he can’t say the amount. Kind of weird. But the lack of higher amounts lately is noticed. I’m glad it’s been all cash so far. A lot of the cars prior were 30k, which is nice, but they were lowest prize.” “I agree, feels like he’s forcing it,” wrote a fourth. A fifth was even more critical, “I’m sorry I know a lot of people are going to get mad at me but I just don’t like him. There’s something about him, that I just don’t enjoy watching him in anything at all.” Meanwhile , Seacrest, of course, had huge shoes to fill replacing the legendary Pat Sajak alongside the iconic Vanna White after four decades for Season 42. His debut month was the strongest ratings month for WoF in the past three years, and viewers were already treated to a viral moment (via a round of sausage) . That said, there have been some other questionable moments according to fans. In September, Seacrest suffered what fans dubbed his “first blooper” , involving a prolonged reaction to rewarding a bonus round. Fans also called out the host for ruling against another player before the timer was up. There have also been a few on-screen “glitches,” and a minor spelling error in a Thanksgiving puzzle . Many fans also blamed a lack of experience on Seacrest’s mishandling of a contestant’s $1million wedge, which she instantly forfeited.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The price of iLearningEngines (NASDAQ: AILE) shares crashed over 30% lower on November 18, 2024 after announcing that (i) the company had placed CFO S. Farhan Naqvi on administrative leave effective immediately, (ii) its outside auditor had withdrawn its prior opinions, (iii) investors should no longer rely on previously-filed financial statements, and (iv) the SEC had subpoenaed the company seeking various documents and information. The company’s recent announcement follows a scathing report from a renowned activist short seller that cast doubt on the financial health and business model of iLearningEngines and gave rise to an investor class action. Hagens Berman urges iLearningEngines investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now . Class Period: Apr. 22, 2024 – Aug. 28, 2024 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Dec. 6, 2024 Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/aile Contact the Firm Now: AILE@hbsslaw.com 844-916-0895 Securities Class Action Against iLearningEngines: The pending litigation focuses on the propriety of iLearningEngines’ disclosures about, among other matters, the source and veracity of its revenues and expenses and its relationship with an entity the company has called its “Technology Partner.” The complaint alleges that iLearningEngines made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) the “Technology Partner” was in fact a related party; (2) the company used the “Technology Partner” to report largely fake revenues and expenses; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the company significantly overstated its revenue. Investors began to learn the truth on August 29, 2024, when Hindenburg Research published a report accusing the AI-powered learning automation company of fabricating revenue and engaging in questionable accounting practices. Among other things, Hindenburg alleged that a significant portion of the company’s revenues and expenses are routed through an undisclosed related party (Experion Technologies), the company lied to the SEC abut its relationship with Experion, and the company artificially inflated its revenues. In response, the price of iLearningEngines shares plummeted by over 50% that day. After Hindenburg’s report and the lawsuit was filed, another shoe dropped on November 18, 2024, when iLearningEngines filed its current report on Form 8-K. The company announced that it placed its CFO on administrative leave and that the SEC issued a subpoena to the company seeking certain documents and information. The company also announced that its outside auditor (Marcum) withdrew its prior audit opinions and that all or virtually all of its financial statements filed in connection with its SPAC merger, which closed on April 16, 2024, should not be relied on. In response, the price of iLearningEngines crashed over 30% that day. Prominent shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman has launched an investigation into the matter. “Investors who relied on iLearningEngines’ alleged misleading statements and omissions may have suffered significant financial losses,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Lamar Jackson takes on Philadelphia's top-ranked defense when the Ravens host the EaglesPies feature in key moments in chef Richard Overbye’s life, from bakery pies eaten straight off the plane after returning Perth from travels (good) to post-hike pies he and fiance Grace ate after completing the Whistlepipe Gully trail in Forrestfield (not-so-good; the pies, that is, not the hike). “Grace made this throwaway comment saying, you could do better than this, and I thought, yeah, I can,” says Overbye. “I might have had a little bit too much coffee that morning, but that idea spitballed very, very quickly to become the basis of a business plan.” If everything goes as intended, that business plan fruits this summer as Angelwood, a cosy nostalgia-fuelled takeaway pie shop in Leederville. Overbye with business partner Patrick Wallis. Credit: Rachel Claire Overbye has chalked up time at some very demanding kitchens including Restaurant Amuse and Wildflower here in Perth, plus Oslo’s three-Michelin-starred Maaemo and Melbourne’s three-hatted fine-diner Amaru . While in Melbourne during the week, I bumped into Amaru owner Clinton McIver who, unprompted, told me what a key role Overbye had played in the evolution of the restaurant. So although Overbye’s medium of choice might be the humble pie, it’s safe to assume it will be informed by plenty of kitchen know-how. For now, the plan is to serve 10 different pies each day, most of them savoury. Some fillings will be familiar (mince pies, steak and mushroom, say). Some, such as apricot chicken, Korean-braised eggplant and Japanese-style golden curry will be more left of centre, not least because Overbye is committed to ensuring vegetarians get in on the action. Vegetarians such as Patrick Wallis, the former operations manager at Modus and Overbye’s business partner at Angelwood, who’ll be overseeing the shop’s back-end. Another of Overbye’s commitments will be “real ingredients”, from mushrooms grown by urban farmers The Mushroom Guys and thoughtfully raised meats to the butter – not margarine – he’ll use in pastry. Speaking of which, Angelwood’s pies will feature two different pastries: a shortcrust, sturdier pastry for the bases and a flakier laminated pastry for the lids: “the best of both worlds,” says Overbye. Sweet pie fillings might include cherry and pecan, while Overbye has hinted that trad Aussie bakery items such as vanilla slices may also make appearances. Sausages rolls are another item our man is looking forward to re-examining through the Angelwood lens. Although takeaway is the name of the game, the shop will feature a small counter for people to park up at while waiting for orders and coffees. The rest of the beverage range will follow the same new-meets-old spirit: expect Bundaberg ginger beer and chocolate milk sharing fridge space with small-batch sodas and kombucha from Margaret River’s Waves & Caves. Angelwood (18B 663 Newcastle Street, Leederville) will open Wednesday and Sunday and is due to open this summer.
