Lauren easily pinpoints the Arizonian city of FLAGSTAFF for another $30,000, giving her $56,700 in cash & prizes to take home - she was a great player this night!

In the end, we see behind-the-scenes footage of their most recent remote to NYC. Culver City's much quieter, but it's still a fun place...

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

That's right
buyavowel.boards.net/thread/11763/december-1999-recap-christmas-week

In this episode this person must have knew it off RSTLNE and called F & A but in the one I recapped that person got no help and ended up not solving.
