What a relief that they're not going to be theme-ing every TU1 towards Wheel after all.

Did anyone notice TU1 ended up one space too far to the left? Vanna was standing in the right spot, then had to step over in order to reach the first K.

TU1: Who said anything about a shack?! That was odd the puzzle started further to the left than where Vanna was standing.

Hmm, a celebrity reading a trip plug. That's the first time it's been done, correct? I'm surprised they didn't plug CWOF season 2 with Donny Osmond doing the trip plug.

Rough start to round 1 with the two Bankrupts. I knew it after the T and As.

I assumed TTU2 would be KATE UPTON when the blank spaces came up.

Lionel was a very fun contestant, I'm glad he added more to his total with the round 4 solve.

Nice solve by Nicole in the bonus round to end the three show losing streak. The A, C, and D made it quite easy, and thankfully she eventually put it together to win.

Funny enough, I actually had Shake Shack for dinner.

Anyway, short puzzles = small payouts. I think R2 is a replacement puzzle given that there's no wordplay category for tonight.

Surprised that they were able to get Donny Osmond in to plug the Wheel Prize, though.

BR: I remember seeing a similar puzzle on a net game show, so I had it off RSTLNE. I wasn't sure Nicole was going to get it, but she did!

This one gets a 6/10.

It's T-Mobile Tuesday, so there's not going to be a retro bonus puzzle. I do have the feeling that they might be retired.

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.

He's on CWOF this season, so they probably worked something out while he was in the studio for that.

I can understand why the third did not, as it would've been touching the edges of the board.

The front game of this episode wasn’t that exciting.

I figured R2 was a replacement given its size and that it wasn’t what I call a wordplay category (like Before & After) or a Crossword puzzle. Also, I got R1 with just the A’s and TTU2 with only the Y. But I keep messing up the pronunciation of Cate Blanchett’s last name.

By the way, Lionel impressed me with his R4 solve and his rap.

I RSTLNE’d the BR, and it’s great that Nicole talked it out to eventually solve it.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
