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.

I'm surprised Pat mentioned Newport Coast. Ever since 2001, it's been a part of Newport Beach (and yes, Pat, it's a lovely little area). Too bad Margo didn't win anything.

To Greg's defense, the WC usage in R4 was not a bad idea. There was just one consonant remaining and as the next round was a full Speed-Up, Pat had no chance to hit $5K leaving Greg with no way to win the game.

Also, this is the third recap this month we've had that same closing chat (although it's not exactly April 21st).

My next set of recaps are the ones you've been waiting to see for a long time...

$215,139 given away that week.

Also, Phrase seems to be getting quite the mileage in the BR. The 9 most recently recapped for the season (excluding compilation weeks) had that exact category.

Also, this week took place on the generic set. I wonder why…
