PHRASE

I'm WIDE-AWAKE hoping she'll make the solve...but she stays silent, so SKUNK #2.

Consuella can't take home the $30,000, but she's won about the same - $30,490.

Vanna's feet have grown despite looking so youthful all the time (she used to be a 6.5, now it's an 8).

Ad for tickets to a Wheel taping shown in the end. Also, there's a full credit roll.

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.

That's the last skunking of the season. No total taping day washouts for the entire season (hence the pricing of the Land Rover, which was won on this set's extra episode).

Also, some other things:

Starting this week, the backside of the Mystery Wedge is shown (until the end of the 37th season). I wish they kept this feature (albeit if the contestant decides to pass on the flip…

Tom was so close of $5K on half of his spins in R4, so it could’ve been WAY worse…

So, the date’s now in the directory. The bad news is that clicking that date is actually a link to the 1/17/05 recap.
