PHRASE

She's stuck on WATCH, so the crowd won't be at a FEVER PITCH upon her losing the Chevy Blazer. Nevertheless, she's still leaving with $61,596 in cash & stuff!

The hosts aren't thrill seekers (but I'm sure their kids are). It's Southern California, so every day's a thrill ride going on the freeways.

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.

Out of the 4 episodes I’ve recapped from this week, this ones easily my favorite. It was fun seeing Kim capitalize on TD FOUR times with a lot of suspense in the 3rd round as well!

At this point, the NMW graphic still isn’t shown and the PP bug still uses the S21 variant. I’m thinking by next week, both of these tingys would be changed.

Correction: The NMV graphic would makes its debut during Southern Hospitality week. The PP bug does get changed next week, but it does use a prototype variant before switching to the one used for the rest of the season in the following week.
