She totally missed the CURFEW, so no $40,000 for her. She'll leave with $18,370 in cash & prizes.

We see Pat's star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the end (he got one a few years ago, they mistook it as if he was a movie man).

There's a full credit roll in the end. Also, from the copy that I'm receiving, the King World logo just fades in at the end of the star streak.

Well, for a week about Vanna receiving her star, it wasn't very good. Only $175,210 was given away and for the fourth time in a row, we were 1/5 here in Bonus Land. But I will tell you that the next week will be much better!

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.

Mine's more of a 6/10. Gameplay was alright and Monica (and Todd to an extent) played rather well. It would've been nice to end the week with a BR win...

And yes, the entirety of next week is a whole lot better.

^ Yeah. An 8/10 is pretty much a "great" episode. 5 is middling. 1 is the lowest rating ever (or a 0 if one tends to go THAT low).
