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.

Odd Pat & Vanna chat in the end. I thought for sure that they would talk about Diane's incredible last-second BR solve.

I suppose I can understand why someone would the Mystery Wedge on a Prize Puzzle. In that situation, I still would have taken a chance with it. When it comes to prizes, I don't tend to look at trips the same way anymore, in part because the Prize Puzzle has desensitized me.

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.
