I just love how Russell spoiled the trip outright. Also, no trip footage. Boo.

Also, did you know that the Dallas Arboretum has the largest public display of azaleas in the nation? I didn't.

And just like that, he hits a home run with DUGOUT! Too bad it's just the crummy $25,000; he leaves with $43,300 in cash & trip.

Vanna's done a lot of wandering in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and we see her at Dallas Heritage Village at Old City Park.

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.

Since the linked episode was the only other one available online, here's what happened the other days:

MONDAY: Scott Beck successfully solved GLAZED POTS for the $37,920 Cadillac CTS (Things; FPBO)
THURSDAY: Amanda Fine failed to get to the BACK PAGE for $35K (Thing; HGBA)
FRIDAY: Sherry Pate felt the HUMILITY on not solving for the Caddy (Thing; MDGA)

Also, on the Friday episode, the second Toss-Up puzzle was SOUP SPOONS. Fast forward 12 years later, the show thought that it was a compound word.

I was supposed to put this info up hours ago, but I got carried away with other stuff.

One thing that I forgot:

Russell is definitely a Wheel Watcher for sure. He spoiled the PP trip (and ruined Pat’s joke), got all three Toss-Ups, and won the BR despite minimal help. He definitely played better than his score indicated (although I didn’t like the house minimum solve in R3).
