Tonight’s Recap Thursday, 30 October 2025
Halloween week continued in spooky style on the October 30, 2025, episode of Wheel of Fortune, featuring Ashika Bhan of Salem, Oregon, Steff Dubois from Chicago, and Kimmy Blakenburg of Rochester, New York. Right out of the gate, Ashika set the tone by cracking the $1,000 Toss-Up: HI, I’M CHUCKY, WANNA PLAY?, leaning into the horror theme with confidence. She kept rolling by adding the $2,000 Toss-Up: VIRAL SENSATION, putting early pressure on her competitors as they settled into the game. The night’s featured trip to Vermont’s Sterling Ridge Resort added extra stakes to every spin.
The first round, themed Same Letter, fit the week perfectly, and Ashika powered through despite two Bankrupts to solve PITCHFORKS, PUMPKINS & PRANKS, collecting $5,700 and jumping to $8,700 early in the game. Steff countered by dominating the Prevagen Mystery Round, identifying LOVE HORROR FILMS and picking up $6,450, thanks in part to landing the Year of Fun tag. Throughout the round, Halloween sound effects added playful atmosphere whenever the Year of Fun marker hit the board.
In the Prize Puzzle Round, Ashika locked in a major reward by solving WOODEN STAKES AND GARLIC, fitting perfectly with the frightening theme and earning a Road Scholar tour of Romania. That boost propelled her to $20,800 in cash and prizes heading into the final stretch. Steff struck again in the Triple Toss-Ups, sweeping TAKING A WARM BATH and GOING TO BED EARLY, while Ashika and Kimmy regrouped for the final push. The third Triple Toss-Up, WAKING UP FROM A NIGHTMARE, didn’t land for the others but continued the Halloween energy before the final round began.
With the game on the line, Ashika sealed her win by solving WITCHES AND WARLOCKS in the Speed-Up round, adding $6,600 to finish with an impressive lead. She entered the Bonus Round with poise and selected the Phrase category. After strong letter picks, she confidently completed HIGHLY UNLIKELY, securing a $50,000 bonus prize. Combined with her winnings and her Romania adventure, she ended the night with a total haul of $79,400—a commanding victory and one of the standout performances of Halloween week.
Steff finished the episode with a respectable $10,450 after steady play and multiple Toss-Up solves, while Kimmy battled tough puzzle boards and a costly Bankrupt. In the end, this Halloween-flavored episode delivered festive puzzles, big spins, and a powerful final round from Ashika. It was a night filled with seasonal scares, strong wordplay, and memorable moments as Wheel of Fortune continued its holiday celebration.
