PHRASE

Kenny	GARRY	Archana

$6,600		$1,650*
		WILD

Yet again, there's another scoring error - this time, $550 was added to Archana's score despite T not being in the puzzle. I think it's the scoreboard operators being drunk today.

...but not much else. While he may have a PAIR OF PAJAMAS back home, he's silent the whole time.

Another $25,000 gets thrown to waste and he'll have to settle for a final cash/trip total of $17,290.

While this is the show's silver anniversary, they're not the only thing celebrating 25 years. Nicole Miller (who designs Vanna's clothes this week) is also celebrating her 25th as well.

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.

Now that this week is complete, I feel like the current season had one opportunity that they completely blew. Instead of doing yet another Teacher's Week as the premiere (teachers are still heroes, we've seen one or two from the week the recap's from), they should've done this week instead (albeit in Sony Pictures Studios) as a way to thank the men and women who served during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I've been to that Vegas hotel before. It's definitely one of the best hotels the strip has to offer (and the Delano suites are even better)

Also, if the operators paid attention, Kenny would‘ve had $17,540 and Archana would’ve had $3,100.

I love that idea! I hope we have both a Teacher’s Week and a Heroes Week this upcoming season.
